  Like management consulting, media and tech, the Hollywood sector is losing jobs - probably permanently.  In an article in LA Times , one of those in production Heather Fink puts out there that being in sound for 14 years was her "biggest mistake." That mindset likely will impede her ability to spot and pounce on opportunities.  What should Fink be thinking and doing instead?  That's where the Five of Cups card in the Tarot hammers its message. Sometimes called the "Spilled Milk" card, it manifests how dead-end (as well as off-putting) it is to reflect on what didn't go as expected.  Fink could have have taken the steps on her journey to what would be next in earning a good living by framing her past as leverable. That is, she could take an inventory of her knowledge, skills and networks and explain where she will explore figuring out a fit for all that. During the early 1970s, the market for university humanities professors went kaput. We Ph.D. students ha

  "Did my sister-in-law throw a spell on me? I haven't sold a house in three months." That's the most recent lament I have heard during Tarot readings with a realtor. Once she had it all and now her mindset essentially is: Should I stay or do I really have to start all over again in a new line of work? MSN documents that it's projected that about 80% of current realtors will have to give it up and try earning a living doing something else. Already, there are 72,000 fewer realtors than there had been in 2022.  The financial drought has been triggered by a combination of higher interest rates and new rules including those which can exclude the buyers' agent from sharing in the sellers' earnings.  Meanwhile, as realtors struggle to make up their minds about holding on or not I recommend they join the rest of us in cultivating multiple sources of income. Soon enough the core competence of the day job might become unmarketable. Tarot Card Reader. Intuitive Car

 " ...  after 8 months of this [overwork] I completely snapped. To be determined whether I recover from it, but all I have learned in the meantime is that nobody at that firm had my back and I needed to have my own back, but I didn’t. The firm will take as much of you as you give them." - Fishbowl Big Law Fishbowl Big Law , May 27, 2024.  This is a response to a plea, just posted an hour ago, about how to deal with a system which piles on assignments and ignores requests for a brief break. Essentially the professional putting the issue out there assumes the firm is the source to turn to for help. Wrong, hammers the comment.  In my Tarot readings my role increasingly has to give "permission" to hard-chargers to take care of themselves. The burden of self-care is on them, not their employer. If they "snap" or drop the ball in any way in performance, the system is bound to be unforgiving. If they "crack up," memories are usually long. How to take c

  In this volatile era for professionals, those wonderful glam jobs are especially in-play. Or maybe it just seems that way because the media, professional anonymous networks and mainstream jaw-jawing are following them closely.  Some are losing jobs, perhaps the sectors are contracting permanently.  Others are growing, with nosebleed compensation in certain settings.  Then there are those which have a shot at taking on the aura of a dream career path.  THE WORLD OF ENCHANTMENT AS TV WRITER   Vanity Fair  brings us up to date on the grim employment situation prospects for TV writers since a few years prior to the strike by the writers. That could worsen if the blue-collar crews strike this summer.  Actually, author of the article and herself a TV scripter Joy Press describes that career path as shot through with "terror" by those who need assignments. Some have already done a career change. Others are holding on, despite sleepless nights, hoping for better times. There is spe

In the Tarot cards, the Ace of Pentacles symbolizes wealth. Yes, the Tarot celebrates success of all kinds, including acquiring financial security and crossing the line over to letting the good times roll.   Yet, some who come for Tarot readings hesitate to focus on material well-being. I have to make it explicit: Spirituality and becoming a millionaire or billionaire aren't mutually exclusive.  Actually, becoming spiritually fit can accelerate the achievement of financial objectives. You have fewer blind spots. You are more decisive. You don't shoot yourself in the foot. And you can course correct faster from what is not panning out.  Tarot Card Reader. Intuitive Career Coach.

  The Wall Street Journal documents that gyms have evolved into a setting for developing new friendships. For many of us in the post-religion era the gym seems to have become a safe wholesome place to connect. In my Tarot readings I recommend that those tormented by the feeling of not belonging join a gym and become a "regular." The socializing goal can be accelerated when classes such as in hot yoga or boxing are taken. In addition, though, once those working out become known entities at the gym, conversation with the folks on next stationary bike or rowing machines, as is standard in society, will find its way to the question: What do you do? The reference is professional. Because the pressure of normal networking contexts is off, presentation-of-self tends to be more authentic - and therefore more engaging. Bonds are formed.  For example, in the JCC gym in Youngstown, Ohio I developed new business for the Tarot readings I do for hosts of house parties.  Now that I have re

Mysticism is no refuge from online reviews. Organizations providing those psychic services such as Mysticsense have users rate their readers on a one-to-five basis, plus having space for further commenting. In ST Magazine I publish a comprehensive article on online reviews in general and how to manage the process. One Tarot reader received a 3 in a review and the business went poof. This is serious.

In the Netflix one-season hit series "Baby Reindeer" Donny's real-life girlfriend Teri notes that he seems to be enjoying the phenomenon of stalker Martha Scott. Teri, a therapist, may be onto something.  As a Tarot reader too often I encounter both parties being sucked in, deeper and deeper, into a force field of illusion. Reality could be too mundane. Usually it's not enough fun. Overall, their everyday existence is, well, disappointing.  Typical is this pattern: creating a momentum in a relationship that has no basis. Or shouldn't have.  An example is that the connection is experienced as the platform for a deep long-term permanent exclusive commitment. Then somehow a bit or even a large chunk of real life intervenes. There is then a tragedy of heartache. That could apply to both. There had been a shared-craziness bubble. It is possible but difficult, of course, to explan the dynamics of this to the devasated former lover or lovers. The New York Times   docume

 In the Tarot the Empress card symbolizes what goes into that archetype Mother. The everything ranges from nurturing to the ability to pick up intuitively what's wrong. Without hands-on mothering, even the most primitive kind, no human being would survive. And here we are celebrating in 2024 such a lifeline to being able to make it: Mother's Day. But,what about celebrating the opposite end of that continuum. That is, those who stayed alive (and thrived which we will come to) despite not having The Empress in their early lives. Those are The Unmothered. They had to become their own mother force field.  According to recent research, there is much to celebrate. Psychology Today explains the benefits of such a difficult childhood. They include: Accurate ability to size up situations, quickly identifying threats and risk. Ability to navigate uncertainty. Not getting stuck, at least for long.  Incidentally, these traits make for an effective employee. There is that old joke that emp

  " Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person assumes the role of 'the giver,' sacrificing their own needs and well-being for the sake of the other, 'the taker.'” - Psychology Today Yes, as a Tarot reader I know there are many healthy relationships among partners.  But also I too often pick up the extreme pain of connections which erase one of the parties' sense of self, worth and even desire to live. The fancy term for that is "codependency." Typically it has roots in a difficult childhood. The setting embedded chaotic patterns of thinking about yourself and behaving. The codependent keeps replicating them.  Like alcohol and food disorders codependency can be a downright addiction. Those are the most tragic calls I receive. A human being can't let go of a relationship that has become all-consuming - and self-defeating. They "swear off" and then go back. The good news is this: There is a solution. Professional

Founder of The Elite Psychics Cassandra Vanzant introduced herself to you last week.  Your response nudged me to invite Cassandra to be a regular columnist. Here she talks about the power of voice communications.  ************************************************************** Exclusive by Cassandra Vanzant, founder of The Elite Psychics  Some readers may not recall that there was a common form of communication called talking face-to-face with someone. Then the telephone arrived, which largely helped with more connections with the people we spoke with. The round dialer on the telephone was replaced with buttons, (making it faster to call). If that speed wasn’t working then we paged the party, (meaning this is urgent!).  The internet introduced emailing, (instead of the traditional “snail mail”), again the “faster” aspect of communicating. Pagers fell by the wayside and cell phones were the preferred way of being in constant contact instantly, (unless there was no signal). But, alas,

  " ...  nobody has risen to replace the late Christopher Hitchens on the lecture circuit, on cable news, in books and in the pages of our best publications. If he were resurrected today, who would hire him? And if they did, how long would it take for the staff to petition the bosses to fire him?" - From Jack Shafer's  Politico  article "The Collapse of the News Industry Takes Its Soul Down With It," May 6, 2024 It was a different time when Christopher Hitchens not only threw journalistic grenades but was respected and trusted. Without fear he positioned and packaged Mother Teresa as a menace and told us to forget that god was on our side since there was no god.  Today, those contentions, even if well documented, probably wouldn't reach the final stage of being actually published. The reasons include: Fear of lawsuits.  The nuclear verdict for the plaintiff in "Hulk Hogan v Gawker" has a long half life. Also there are plenty, like Peter Thiel, who

  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different?
