Akumu: Before we talk about your career, let's talk about you for a second. The deck has chosen to represent you as the Page of Swords, suggesting your primary relevant traits are insight, trustworthiness, and observation. The Page has trouble being taken as seriously as he should be or achieving the success he should be capable of, usually because he is underestimated or dismissed by others. Take care that you work to receive recognition for your actions and skills, or that you benefit by others' misapprehensions rather than suffering from them.
You have been brought where you are at least in part by someone vindictive, dominant, and controlling. I don't have a lot of information about who this is -- it could even be you -- but try to figure out what influences in your life are taking up more than their share of your time and stop letting them harm you. It looks like much of what is relevant to you, positive and negative, is was and will be external and social, but not romantic.
You are currently somewhere where a false sense of unity and stability has lead to trouble, and influences outside of your control are seeking to prevent you from realizing this fact. Conformity and orthodoxy are your enemy right now, and there is an organization that would prefer you sacrifice your own needs and desires for its own benefit. Interestingly, your biggest strength right now may be a lack of guidance: by relying on your own intuition and ability to see things as they are -- and thus stepping outside the bad or misleading advice or steering of others -- you stand to progress significantly.
Your house, which is to say the situations and people around you that govern your day to day life, is characterized right now by hubris, arrogance, or ill planning. Be ready to see the flaws in what is presented to you or asked of you, and don't trust anything you don't fully understand too much right now. People will be reaping a whirlwind soon, and it's important that you not be caught up in it.
You need to actively spend energy on enjoying yourself. Pleasure and abundance are not going to come to you, but are there to be found if you seek them out. It's clear that your craft is very important to you and has the potential to really uplift you, but you're going to have to work against the people in your life and career that are intentionally and incidentally hindering you. There is no indication anywhere in the spread that significant change is necessary; rather, you are already on about the right path, you just need to work on ensuring you benefit from travelling it.
Despite being rather adamant that there are significant issues to face and a lot of work to be done, the deck cautions against radical change and impulsive behavior. Don't go out and seek adventure in the wider world, because you'll do yourself more harm than good. Instead, consolidate what's working now and cut the chaff from your social and professional circles; there is a lot of spiritual and emotional fulfillment to be had when you're once again in control of your own journey.
The most central theme I'm getting is this: there will be people, groups, and causes in your life that you feel are important; they may or may not actually be important, but you need to not lose yourself to any of them or put their needs ahead of your own. Sometimes you will feel like it's time to let go of what you've accomplished and start over, but that's just going to come from you feeling trapped and helpless, not a genuinely practical urge. There is a great deal of religious symbology in your reading, which suggests to me -- you not striking me as a particularly religious person -- that dogma and bureaucracy are worth keeping a very close eye on.
