Happy Wednesday, Sault Ste. Marie! For today's online psychic answer, I'm responding to an anonymous seeker who asks,

I'm a contract worker and I work from home processing medical documents. I keep a part-time job, but I'd really like to get another contract so I can give up my part-time job and just work for myself. What do you see?

Want to see your question answered here? Send me an email!

Speaking as a self-employed worker, I know exactly how you feel, Seeker: self-employment often means irregular hours, uncertain income, and extra hassle at tax-time, but it also means I don't have to put up with corporate big wigs, annoying co-workers, and external limitations on when and how often I take a day off. I wish you all the luck in making this work for you...

... and I think you'll need it, because what I'm seeing here is that it's not going to be an easy task to get the quantity or quality of contract work you need to achieve the freedom you want. But don't misunderstand me - it's not because you're unqualified. Your position as the Four of Cups shows you as a hard worker who's willing to put in all the extra care and time needed to do a job right.

And although your watery cups go together nicely with the earthy Emperor, getting the contracts you want is going to take quite a bit of effort. In other words, it's not a matter of just asking your current provider for more, it's a matter of timing. There are more contracts to be had, but they only appear seasonally or when there's a crush of work, and clearly that's not up to you.

You can make these connections, but you're going to have to chase down other providers. From the tension between the airy 2 of Swords and the earthy Emperor, I get the impression that you have a non-compete clause in your work agreement. Is this so? If yes, then this is going to be a precarious situation for you. My recommendation to you is to keep your part-time work, or - if possible - get job retraining or new certifications to allow you to take on new and different kinds of contract work.
