Influence over the Past: The Hermit
Working into the night, even off the clock, is beginning to pay off. You are mastering your craft, even as it seems the world is passing you by. Most of the world IS going on without you. Don’t feel like you have been completely forgotten, however.
Influence over the Past: Two of Swords
Getting rid of that loser was the right thing to do. It may have looked hard from the other side, but you finally feel a sense of peace and serenity now that the deed is done. Hell, you may not even need anyone right now.
Influence over the Past: The King of Swords.
Vulcan. Robot. Android. Your decisions have superseded all emotional investment. You have earned enemies that you refuse to care about and accolades that all serve a greater purpose.
Influence over the Present: The Lovers
Now comes your most important decision. There is a purpose that you love and wish for yourself more than anything else in the world. That goal was the purpose for all of your unfeeling, calculating ambition. You can continue as you are where you have proven your own success, or you can finally feel joy in reaching your goal.
Influence over the Future: The High Priestess
Did you really think you could survive for so long without feeling anything? Choose your path:
The Joyful Purpose: Expect feelings to reign supreme here. What you accomplish will always have to take a back seat to whose feelings you hurt. Worse, the politicking, secrets, and obfuscations will leave you eternally unsure of who you will hurt with any action. Your return to the real world will feel just like being kidnapped by aliens. There is no way for you to survive here.
The Reasoned Purpose: You know without a doubt that your business would be much better off without all the politicking. Efficiency could increase several times over and the quality of work can only go up. Yet, if you let the bad employees go the wrong way then it may cost you more in the end. Something has to be done about those — those — noise making sacks of meat. They can’t be viewed as humans when they act like such animals. Maybe they aren’t humans. You are, afterall, very much a human being yet you do not act like they do. If they are not humans then a wide range of new options will appear to open up to you.
Influence over the Past: 10 of Wands
SUCCESS! Where is the top of your field? The employee of the month picture? A trade magazine? Maybe some kind of trophy? Yeah, that’s you. You’ve made it.
Influence over the Past: 8 of Swords
A near constant among human beings is that people like having someone learn about us over time, and continue to fall in love with us. Your current attempts to simply stalk that special someone are causing some discomfort. Hacking into social networks and digging through the person’s garbage will only scare that person off.
