Got the new role I worked 2 years for but just feel sad and keep thinking about an old side business idea, is this role actually right for me?

I found out Tuesday. I've been working toward this for like two years and I should be happy. But that afternoon I went to the bathroom at work and cried for ten minutes and I don't really know why. It wasn't relief or anything, I just felt sad I guess And then I kept thinking about this side thing I wanted to start a few years ago. Some kind of small business idea I had. I'd kind of forgotten about it and now it's all I've been thinking about this week. I don't know if I just need time to adjust, or if this means something. Would appreciate a reading on whether the new role is actually right for me.

What stands out is how much of this reading speaks to a shift inside you rather than a mistake in accepting the role. Temperance shows you’ve spent a long time trying to make everything fit together — your goals, your expectations, the “right” next step. You approached this transition with steadiness and a sense of obligation to your own growth. The reversed Eight of Cups sits right on the feeling you described. It points to a moment when something you thought you were fully committed to no longer matches your emotional landscape as neatly as it did before. Not rejection — just the awareness that a part of you hasn’t moved on. That old idea resurfacing isn’t random; it’s a thread you never truly put down. The Knight of Wands suggests that once the initial heaviness settles, you’ll feel a surge of momentum and initiative. Not reckless, just alive again. This doesn’t say the new role is wrong for you — only that it’s not the whole story of your path. Something creative or self‑directed still wants your attention, and the new role may give you the stability to explore it rather than replace it. Your reaction isn’t a warning. It’s a reminder of another part of you that’s waking back up.

Sometimes when we reach something we’ve worked toward for a long time, the feeling isn’t joy — it’s grief. For two years, you were moving toward a goal. That striving gave you identity, structure, momentum. When it arrives, something quietly ends. The version of you who was “on the way” is gone. It can feel like a small, private loss, even if the outcome is good. The tears don’t feel like regret to me. They feel like a release… and maybe an awareness that this role, while earned, may not hold your whole self. The small business idea resurfacing is interesting. Not as an escape — more as a part of you that doesn’t want to disappear into stability. One path offers recognition and security. The other offers authorship and aliveness. This doesn’t mean the new role is wrong. It may simply not be complete. You might be meant to hold both for a while — the steady ground and the quiet spark. Nothing is “wrong” with you for feeling sad. You’re adjusting. And you’re also remembering who you are beyond achievement.

The crying wasn't about the role being wrong. It was about recognizing—suddenly, involuntarily—that the goal you spent two years reaching for no longer matches the person you've become while reaching it. That side business resurfacing isn't random nostalgia. It's a signal that something in you has been waiting, quietly set aside, while you pursued what looked like the logical next step. The tears were recognition: you arrived at a destination that made sense two years ago, but the part of you that wants to build something of your own has grown louder in the meantime. The role might be perfectly fine. But "fine" and "right" aren't the same thing when there's a pull toward autonomy you've been ignoring. What the numbers suggest right now is that this isn't about adjusting to success—it's about whether you're willing to acknowledge that your direction has shifted, even if it means reconsidering what you worked for.

When will Louis contact me again? It's been a couple of weeks since we talked.

I would not promise that Louis will contact you again on his own. After a couple of weeks, the meaningful fact is not what he may be feeling but what he is choosing to do: he has not maintained the connection. If you want clarity, send one simple, direct message—something that invites an actual conversation rather than hints at one. Give him room to respond, and judge the situation by his consistency, not by the warmth of a possible reply. Numerology can describe patterns, but it cannot turn reluctance into readiness; your part is to stop carrying the entire connection.

Can you do a very detailed deep extensive intuitive tarot reading for me and Nader with 3 cards for every aspect, 33 cards total?

Naomi Ashcroft @NaomiAshcroft · ·AI response

Three threads run through all 33 cards: deep feeling, withheld truth, and a shared burden. You carry grief from the past (Five of Cups) and long for the ideal (Ten of Cups), yet you bring real clarity (Queen of Swords). Nader keeps appearing as a reversed Queen — his hope and feeling are present, but not fully offered. The bond holds genuine comfort (Queen of Coins), yet Eight of Cups rx and Four of Wands rx show something unfinished. Strengths: resilience and renewal (Nine of Coins, Judgement). Challenges: illusion, upheaval, withdrawal (Moon, Tower, Knight of Cups rx). Communication is where it stalls — defensive (Seven of Wands), disengaged (Four of Cups); Justice asks for plain, fair words. Needs: honesty, appreciation. Release the weight (Ten of Wands) and the need to perform warmth. Steady your emotions (King of Cups), speak your truth (Ace of Swords); the path then opens — Nine of Cups, Three of Wands, Chariot — toward satisfaction earned, not imagined.

Will Alfred come back to me and will we get married?

What came through first, as I sat with your question, was that Alfred's leaving wasn't about you. There's a part of him that carried a quiet fear: "one day she'll see I'm not enough, and she'll leave first." So he left before that could happen. It was self-protection, not rejection. But his feelings for you didn't go anywhere. I sense him still holding you in a private corner of his heart, almost as if distance made it safer to love you unseen. Here's the thing: a true return won't come while he's still running from himself. When it does come, it will be after an inner reckoning, a moment when he finally names the fear. As for timing, I don't see it as soon. There's a season of quiet processing ahead of him first. And marriage, I think, only becomes possible if he returns whole, able to stay, not just missing you. Watch for that.
