Should I step back or try to repair this strained relationship that feels emotionally distant now?

Looking at the cards drawn for your path, a structured job environment provides a far more stable foundation for you right now than building an independent business, particularly because the Ace of Swords reversed in your background points to scattered mental energy when trying to launch something entirely on your own. A steady job with clear boundaries allows your focus to sharpen. As for location, stability and foreign environments that offer established institutional support tend to serve you better than erratic relocation; look toward places where your daily routine can remain grounded rather than chasing a distant ideal. Regarding a second partnership, the appearance of the Hermit in the future position suggests a necessary inner season first. Before a new, lasting partnership enters, you are moving through a period where emotional clarity and self-reliance take precedence. The energy points toward building your professional ground solidly in a stable workplace before trying to force a new relationship or business venture into motion.

When a distance grows inside a marriage like this, it can feel as though every silence is carrying a heavy meaning, but what comes through when looking closely at his energy is not hatred. There is a profound exhaustion in him rather than affection for someone else, an inward turning where he seems entirely overwhelmed by his own failures and cannot find the words to bridge the gap between you. The feeling that he regrets things often stems from how heavily he carries himself around the house, but that weight is directed mostly at his own inability to connect, not at your presence in his life. It may take time, but that wall he has built is made of self-protection and quiet frustration, not malice.

Stepping away from physical truck driving toward administration through the WHS course is an entirely achievable goal, but the cards suggest you will need to manage your energy carefully while balancing full-time work and online study. The Fool in your past shows a willingness to take a bold leap into something fresh. However, with the reversed Hermit in your present position, studying in isolation while holding down demanding onsite hours risks burning you out before you finish. The reversed Magician in the future position points to a common trap: feeling capable of making the transition, but taking shortcuts or struggling to apply your new skills effectively within your current workplace. Staying with your current employer for the administrative shift is unlikely to materialize smoothly. Companies rarely pivot a truck driver into an internal safety or admin role without external pressure or proof, and your current environment tends to keep you locked into physical duties. Rather than waiting to see if they will promote you once the certificate is done, the practical path is to finish your coursework and look outward. Begin looking for entry-level safety or admin roles elsewhere while you are in the final stages of your studies, using the qualification as your leverage to step into a completely new professional door.
