Am I going to get fired?

No — the cards can't tell you whether that happens, and I won't pretend otherwise. What they do show is that the question you're living inside right now is mostly made of fog.

Past — Eight of Pentacles, reversed. The work itself is the shaky part: craft that stopped being felt as craft. Repetition without the sense of mastery, the grind version of the job rather than the learning version. That's the ground this fear is standing on — not evidence about your performance, but a record you may have stopped updating.

Present — Seven of Cups, upright. This is the seat the fear is actually sitting in. Seven of Cups is many scenarios at once, each half-formed, none checked against anything. The layoff meeting, the reassignment, the quiet email, the "we're going in a different direction" call — all of them available, all of them imagined. The cards do not report your manager's decision; they report that the decision is not in your hands and hasn't been made real to you yet.

Future — Four of Swords, reversed. A pause that isn't happening. Reversed, the rest card means the halt keeps getting refused — either by you, or by the terms you're on. Read as tendency only: if the present stays fogged and unresolved, this is where it tends to drift — into exhaustion, into a snap decision made from noise rather than a real event.

Three minors, no Major arcana. This is not a structural chapter of your life; it's a bad week that hasn't been fact-checked.

So: if when you go look, the record shows real, dated, specific feedback tied to changed expectations — then the Four of Swords reversed names a pause that got refused, and the honest work is a rest and reset you actually take before something else breaks. If what you find is generic praise, no written concerns, and no change in who's assigned your work — then the Seven of Cups was the whole event, and the loudness was yours, not the company's.

One step, this week, alone: open the last piece of feedback you were actually given — the review doc, the ticket comments, the email thread with a date on it — and write down its date and its one specific sentence. Not what it felt like that day. What's on the record.
