Background:

John, a Singaporean businessman, runs a successful engineering company. Recently, he encountered an exciting investment opportunity in an emerging market that included plans for a merger. While the numbers appeared promising, John had a nagging gut feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Known for his analytical mindset, he typically relies on logic and data for decision-making. However, this particular situation felt unusually complex. Seeking a fresh perspective, he was referred to Purac Soul by a trusted client.

Challenge:

John faced a critical dilemma: whether to invest in the new market or continue focusing on his existing operations. While the opportunity promised high returns, it also carried significant risks. He felt conflicted, as the venture seemed adventurous yet offered potential growth. His usual reliance on market research and strategic advice failed to provide the clarity he sought, leaving him unsure of his next steps.

Solution:

John decided to use a tarot reading at Purac Soul to gain deeper insights. We employed a three-card spread focused specifically on decision-making and clarifying his investment dilemma.

• The Fool:
  Representing new beginnings and stepping into the unknown, this card resonated deeply with John's situation. It encouraged him to consider the potential for growth and innovation in the new market while advising him to approach the opportunity with caution and an open mind.

• The Emperor:
  Symbolizing structure, leadership, and control, this card highlighted the need for a strategic approach. It suggested that John reinforce his leadership by establishing robust systems to mitigate risks effectively. The card also raised the possibility that either his current business lacked structure or the new opportunity itself was poorly organized, signaling the need for tighter boundaries before proceeding.

• The Five of Pentacles:
  A warning card, this indicated potential financial losses or setbacks. It cautioned John that rushing into the merger could result in significant monetary loss. This card strongly emphasized the importance of thoroughly assessing risks before committing. Remarkably, within two weeks, the prediction was validated when issues with the investment surfaced.

Outcome:

The tarot reading offered John the clarity he needed to make a well-informed decision. The Fool card inspired him to remain open to opportunities, while The Five of Pentacles served as a strong reminder to proceed cautiously. The Emperor guided him to take a structured and disciplined approach to assess the opportunity more thoroughly.

Empowered by these insights, John chose to delay the investment and conduct deeper research. He also consulted his trusted advisors, ensuring that every angle was considered before moving forward.

In the end, this careful approach reminded John to make a calculated and informed decision. By holding off, he avoided potential setbacks and later pursued an adjusted plan that resulted in substantial success. The tarot reading not only provided emotional clarity but also became a pivotal tool in helping John make a confident and grounded business decision.
