Hi MJ,

First, my condolences for your loss, that's rough.

Secondly, thanks so much for your kind words. It's gratifying to hear that my writing helps some others besides me.

And not too late at all, I'll be taking questions through midnight central time tomorrow (the 31st).

As for the question, I agree the Runes sound good, and I'd propose this slight modification: "What does MJ most need to understand about finding a good paying and enjoyable job in the right field in the first quarter of 2025?" with the spread "Timing (what to understand about the constraint of 'First Quarter'), Seeking (the work of the job search process, not called 'Work,' like I usually use for most spreads to avoid confusion), and Outcome(s) (what is most likely to come about if you follow the course you have in mind now/is described in the 'Seeking' part).

You may have noticed that I wiggled around the "likelihood" part of your question, which might be frustrating. On the one hand, I have not yet worked out a way to directly ask for likelihood of outcomes, so I didn't want to bake that into the question and possibly confuse the clarity of the answer. On the other hand, the answer almost always includes good information that gives some insight into likelihood, so I'll try to make sure to emphasize that in my interpretation.

If that works for you, I'll ask in the next couple of days and share the interpretation shortly after that.

Thanks,
Jeff
