A Career Tarot Reading

Been stressing about things at work but can feel that it is going to change. Looking to get out because my boss is just mean spirited and a hypocrite. From things that she has told us and what we've seen, I truly believe that she might have psychopath or sociopath tendencies.

I love my job but have likely become complacent so I've started actively applying to escape my boss but also to get to a place with more income so that Divya doesn't have to work. I've been working with the angels and getting positive reinforcement but thought that I should check in with the tarot for a view of my career change potential and options. The reading is below:

Decide to pick up the sword, to be proactive, and to defend yourself and your personal energies.
