Where is my writing going - a tarot card perspective

So it is all change in my writing career now. I am no longer a Bean but author to a dynamic fast growing publisher, whose avante-garde style suits my own writing very well. This was not by design, rather caused by the tap dancing feet of Kismet.  Full story there -> http://kristina-jackson.blogspot.com/2012/01/wheel-turns.html

Before I made this announcement I did a tarot reading to see where my writing career was going. I used druidcraft deck.

Where is my writing going now

1 - Present - The Star
2 - Crossing - Princess of Wands
3 - What has past - Two of Cups
4 - What is known - The Wheel
5 - What is unknown - The High Priest
6 - Near future - 4 of pentacles
7 - My influence - 3 of Pentacles
8 - Outside influence - 4 of Cups
9 - Hopes / Fear King of Wands
10 - Outcome 8 of Cups.

What does this mean?

Now I am in a situation which is looking hopeful, but the thing about The Star is going to get the opportunities when they are presented. This is where the Princess (page in standard deck) works crossing nicely. She is saying be energetic and enthusiastic she also indicates a new phase starting. The two of cups shows the union with with my previous publisher in the past.

What is known, things are changing. It is the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. This is a period of re-birth a beginning of a new cycle. What is un-known is the High Priest, he represent conformity and education, but with the Wheel above, I believe this is suggesting turning conformity on its head and being Avante-Garde with my approach. Which is suggestive of my writing style.

The 4 of Pentacles suggests my approach will start adding to my funds and the building of foundations of wealth and security. But the warning with this card is not to make it a pre-occupation, let the creativity flow.

This ties in nicely with the 3 of Pentacles working towards a goal and having your craft appreciated by others. Outside influence of the 4 of Cups shows there are aspects of my life that feel dull, boring and limiting, sometimes these effect the creativity.

The King of Wands in Hopes, I struggle sometimes with the court cards and how they react in a situation like this. I'm taking this as generally hopeful things will work out as I would like them, perhaps with some  gain by it all.

Interesting card in outcome 8 of Cups. I see this as leaving one way of life behind and moving onto another one. I'm curious about this outcome. It will be interesting to see what time tells with that.
