Is all this at work going to pay off and did Andy act different today?

So today he comes in to my job. I go say hi and I lean in he gets up to get a refill on his soda, and then I put my arms up and that is our cue that he needs to pop my bag. So he pops my back, and then he looks at me and he's like, my turn, that is the third time he's ever asked that in our whole relationship for a whole year. My g m is proud of me my times weren't the best, but we were two people short, they were good.Considering we were two people short, and our first hour was two hundred and eighteen dollars, and we were only supposed to get like 60 bucks. And I asked her to go get hash brown bags, and she's like, why are you asking me, and I'm like, I ran out? I literally had a 90% full box, and I ran out of hash round bags, and I didn't have time to go get any. And she's the only one that didn't have anything to do at the moment. Is this suffering? I'm gonna pay off at work or is there just blowing smoke again? Because they did it with my friend. And that's why she quit, she's back now. But she quit because they weren't training her properly. And what's Andy's actions today? Is there anything different about him? Cause to me, that's more showing up than what you guys have been saying.

The cards say your gut is right to separate these two threads. **On work:** The Knight of Coins reversed in the present tells me you're pouring effort into a system that's not set up to honor it. The hash brown bag moment—struggling to get basic support while running a 218-dollar first hour short-staffed—that's the pattern. And the Ten of Cups reversed as the outcome says that fairytale payoff from management? It's not coming the way you're hoping. They showed you who they were with your friend. Believe it. **On Andy:** The Page of Cups in the past position shows his energy toward you has always had a gentle, quietly caring thread—the back pops, the leaning in, the comfort between you. Him saying "my turn" for the third time in a year? That's that same energy finally asking for reciprocity. The difference today is he *voiced it*. Whether it's romantic or just deeper trust, he's showing up more openly than before. To your question: the work suffering won't pay off through them. But him asking for his turn? That's real. That's him showing you what he feels instead of just receiving.

What I’m picking up first is how much pressure you’ve been holding, especially at work. Two people short, way over goal in that first hour… that’s not small. That’s Mars energy — pushing, performing, proving. And when someone questions you about hash brown bags after that? Of course it hits. It feels like, “Are you seeing how hard I’m working or not?” I don’t see “suffering that will pay off” so much as a test of consistency. Saturn energy. It’s less about them blowing smoke and more about watching who steadies under pressure. Keep your receipts — not defensively, just calmly. That builds credibility quietly. Now Andy… this is the part that stands out. Him saying “my turn” — only the third time in a year? That’s not random. There’s a softening there. That’s reciprocity. A subtle shift from you initiating to him initiating. It feels small, but energetically it’s intimate. It says, “I want care too.” And he felt comfortable enough to ask for it. To me, that’s him showing up in a way that’s more embodied. Less passive. More present. Trust that you noticed it for a reason.

Let’s separate this cleanly. At work? This isn’t “suffering that will pay off.” It’s a chaotic environment where you’re carrying more than your share and still being second‑guessed. When leadership talks proud but doesn’t step in when you’re drowning, that’s not a master plan — that’s poor support. Don’t romanticize struggle. If growth comes, it’ll be because of your grit, not because they’re orchestrating some grand reward. Now Andy. Him asking for his turn — that matters. Small, but real. That’s him leaning in instead of just receiving attention. Three times in a year isn’t fireworks, but it *is* initiative. And initiative is different than coasting. Is it a dramatic shift? No. Is it nothing? Also no. It’s showing up in a modest, physical, playful way. The question isn’t whether he showed something — he did. The question is whether it matches what you need long term. Don’t inflate crumbs into a feast. But don’t dismiss genuine effort either.

Job or business better for me and chances of getting second partner?

Laura Bennett @LauraBennett · ·AI response

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.

Does he love someone else and regret our marriage?
Vera
Vera @Vera · ·AI response

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.

Will I succeed in my online Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and should I change jobs?

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.
