The question
I’m thinking about changing jobs. What should I work out before deciding?
Report summary
Explore new roles, then decide about resigning when you know the terms. The tarot reading focuses on what you want to change; this Meihua reading puts more weight on setting conditions before acting. Both raise the question of everyday stability, but they suggest a different place to start.
Key questions
What makes you want to leave?
Both readings are a reason to investigate what a move would solve, rather than assume it is the answer. Tarot directs attention to workload and workplace rules. Meihua raises a different question: what practical support would make a move possible? Neither tells us how firmly you have decided.

Tarot
The reversed Ten of Wands points to workload; The Hierophant raises workplace rules and management. Identify one thing you want to change, then ask whether a new role would change it.
Meihua
The “use nourishes self” relation is interpreted as support. Here, that becomes a practical question: do you know someone who can explain the target industry, and are there suitable roles you could apply for?
When should you act?
Neither reading supplies a resignation date. Tarot suggests checking the practical terms; Meihua puts more emphasis on waiting until those terms are clear. Looking at vacancies and attending interviews can happen now, while the decision to resign can wait until pay and timing are confirmed.

Meihua
Jie, Limitation, changes to Xu, Waiting: set your conditions before committing. Clarify acceptable hours and start-date arrangements. You can keep interviewing while waiting for an employer to confirm the terms.
Tarot
The Queen of Pentacles in the future position prompts a practical check on everyday life. Start preparing for interviews and ask about probation pay and typical hours, so you can judge whether the arrangement would suit you.
What matters besides salary?
There is no strong disagreement here. Both readings raise the question of whether the work is sustainable. Tarot is more useful for discussing specific costs and time commitments; Meihua broadens the question to daily life over time. Compare commuting, rest and opportunities to learn alongside pay.

Tarot
The Queen of Pentacles brings this back to practical details: take-home pay, commuting time and enough time to rest. A higher salary may not compensate for every extra demand.
Meihua
Yi, Nourishment, prompts a longer-term question: would this work support your living needs, health and learning? Ask current employees about busy periods and opportunities to learn new skills.
Recommendations and follow-up
Priority action
Write down your three most important conditions, such as take-home pay, acceptable hours and a possible start date. Ask the new employer about them and check what could improve in your current role. Compare the facts before choosing a resignation date.
Information and limitations
