Dear Madama,
I am writing to because I feel like I'm losing touch with myself. I have begun to have doubts about my career. I received the job because I am related to the people who run the company. However, I am excellent at my profession and have received several accommodations. But this still feels like nothing because I only received this start because of their position.
I'm uncertain if I should try to achieve something else, or stick with what I know. Furthermore what if this is the only thing that I am accomplished at? Am I stuck in this career because someone else chose it for me?
Please, what is in the cards for me?
Thank you,

Dear Troubled in Tulsa,
You've Received the 10 of Hearts.
My, my, what an emotional card!
It sounds to me that the only thing holding you back is yourself. You're letting your emotions get the better of you, and you're too afraid of failure to try anything new. I guarantee you that even if you got that job because of your family, any successful business man would have fired you if you weren't at least half-way decent at it. But if you are as successful as you claim, then taking some time off to explore other options won't hurt you in the slightest!
Look for signs of 10 in your life. An address, a phone number, anything that might give you a hint as to what it is you think you might pursue instead.
Heck, you could even try doing fortune telling for a bit to see if it sticks!
Roll1: 5, Keeping a Secret
Roll2: 1 Elite Family
Roll3: 6 Young Adult
Roll 4: 2 Calm but Curious
Card: Ace of Clubs
Suit: Relationships and social life
Rank: Propose something completely random out of the blue
Dear Madama,
I recently discovered something in my personal life that would change, well everything. I'm uncertain how to proceed since my family is fairly well-known and I don't wish to draw more attention to myself or them. I don't wish to disclose any more than I have already, but I'm curious to see what the cards have to say about it.
Thank you!

Dear Curious in Cincinnati,
You've received the Ace of Clubs!
What a card indeed.
This card represents the family, how much you care or how little you care for them. Is this secret something that will destroy your relationship with them, and it's better they don't know? Or is it worth telling the world so you can share it together?
My advice is: buy yourself something nice. You are the most important person in your life, so you should be nice to yourself.
Roll1: 4 To join a risky venture
Roll2: 3 An Artist
Roll3: 1 A Teen
Roll4: 5 Out of their mind with anxiety
Card: Queen of Spades
Suit: Health and physical skill
Rank: Birth of something/someone else
Dear Madama,
Please, please, please, I don't know what to do. My friends want to start a small games company and it seems like a lot of fun, they are all really really talented creative people, but I don't know if they know anything about management or business or anything.
This would be fun to do on the side, but they want to go serious with it to the point where they've asked me if I would join them full time. They offered me some money too, which is kinda low but it would involve me stepping back from college.
I really really want to make this dream work, but I'm so scared that it could go so bad so easily and I wouldn't know what to do anymore.
Please, I need the advice of the cards!

Dear Game Making in Greenwich,
You received the Queen of Spades.
A card that focuses on your health and ability, as well as the birth of something new. You are on the cusp of nurturing your creative spring. You must take whichever path will help advance your skills to the point to which they need to be to succeed.
The card tells you to think of your body and your mind, which path will bring you closer to your full potential and which will you sink hours of your life into, wishing you could have gotten them back?
