How to tell if this is my correct path
Answer
The cards don't say "yes" or "no" — they point at what you'd have to look at to know.
Past — King of Cups, reversed. Something in how you used to decide it was emotional rather than calm: the feeling carried the decision, or a role that asked you to hold everyone else's mood left you managing feelings instead of your own. That's the part of "correct path" you're trying to stop repeating.
Present — Two of Pentacles, upright. This is a season of juggling, not of choosing. The structure of your week right now is the honest data — two commitments competing, energy swinging between them, and no single line you've settled on. Cards can't tell you what a path is while you're in the act of balancing; this seat says the question is premature in form, not in substance.
Future — Death, upright. Whatever you decide, something with you ends and something else begins. Read it as a tendency, not a forecast: this arrangement does not continue as-is either way you go. The Death card does not say the path is wrong; it says staying put is not on the table.
The judgment. If the week you actually live — the calendar, the hours, the person you report to — turns out to be one you would still keep without the label on it, then this is the path and the Death card is just the ending that comes with choosing. If that same written week, read honestly, turns out to be a schedule you'd only accept because of the title or because quitting looks worse, then the Two of Pentacles is naming juggling, not direction, and the correct move is a change of arrangement rather than a decision of identity.
The action. Within 48 hours, write down the seven days you'd actually live if you said yes — the real hours, the commute, the person who gets your attention when the work slips — beside the days you live now. Two columns, one sheet. That's not journaling; it hands you a comparison the cards can't. Read it back and see which column you defend out loud.
