Here is a quick reading with my Mertz Lenormand. I was contacted by a recruiter about a job opportunity at Company X. I’m not actively seeking a new job, and I’m probably overqualified for what they’re looking for.
Still, I was curious and asked the Lenormand: how is the opportunity at X for me?
I got: Roads – Man – Moon
Frankly I was expecting some negative cards. I happen to be friends with someone who worked at X, who gave me some “insider info” on the company. I know of someone else who went to Company X and had a bad experience. With what I know, I suspect that privately owned company would be overly conservative for me, and could end up being a roller-coaster of a job.
This is a positive draw to me. The job at X looks like an option (Roads) that would lead me (Man) to some recognition (Moon). Which seems reasonable, given my skills in my field.
This also highlights the importance of a the question. I didn’t ask if X would be an enjoyable working environment, or if the pay would be good, or if it would be a step up for my career. I asked if it was a good opportunity, and that’s the answer I got. It’s also worth nothing that if I’d used more cards, I’d have gotten more detail on what makes it a good opportunity.
But those could be follow-up questions for later, if I am so inclined.

I believe the Roads card has picked up on your thoughts that you would be overqualified for the position make the opportunity an easy passage to gaining more appreciation and respect.

How can you know that moon means recognition ? Moon also means emotions, insecurity, doesn´t it?

Hi Maria. As kali said, the moon shows fame and recognition, as well as emotions. On its own I am less likely to see it as a negative card. Because it was a question about work, it seemed likely that the Moon had to relate to work as well. And in that context, recognition is more likely than emotions.
Also, note that those tend to be romantic feelings; things that the Moon inspires. The Moon wouldn’t be so inspiring at work, at least for me! 🙂

Jason, i read Moon as success. Even if you don’t choose this job, having alternatives (Path) is always re-assuring. I noticed the suits of insert 1x Diamond and 2x Hearts, all positive. Now, the quint (by inserts, Q=12) is Mountain, so it might be a “steep climb” to success in that company… But, then success is never easy 😉 I rather like the reading, but of course would expect more: as you put it, on environment, pay etc. 😉

Thanks for sneaking the quints in there. 😀 Yes, alternatives and feeling appreciated (that is… recognized!) is good.

there will be some hesitation at first (possibly another option to consider) and than public recognition and acknowledgement
