How others see you: the impression and what goes unsaid
At work or among friends, it is easy to lose track of how you come across. This reading separates the picture people have of you from what they think but would not say to your face, and looks for what would shift it in the third card.

The three-card spread for how others see you
The gap between the first two cards is what matters here. If the impression and the real opinion are close, people see you as you are. If they are far apart, the second card shows where the misunderstanding starts.
How people see you
The first impression and what people pick up from how you usually behave.
What they leave unsaid
What people think privately but rarely say. A good opinion can be hiding here too.
What changes the picture
What to be aware of to shift the picture in a good direction, read as a small action you can take soon.
Cards that speak clearly about how you come across
The Sun
Seen as bright and easy to approach, someone who puts others at ease.
The Emperor
Dependable and responsible. Some people also find you hard to approach.
The High Priestess
Calm and thoughtful. Some people cannot tell what you are thinking.
The Fool
Free and unconventional. Fun to be around, though some find you hard to predict.
Justice
Fair and principled. Some read that as strict about rules.
The Moon
Hard to read right now, which lets rumors and assumptions fill in the gaps. Sharing a little more about yourself clears it up.
Sample reading: how you are seen at work
The HermitHow people see you
The StarWhat they leave unsaid
The MagicianWhat changes the pictureHow people see you is the Hermit: someone who gets on with the work quietly and does not talk much about themselves.
What goes unsaid is the Star. More people than you think are counting on you and hoping for good things from your work. That simply has not been said out loud.
What changes the picture is the Magician. Adding one sentence about what you are thinking will change how people see you. Try putting forward one idea at the next meeting.

When rumors or gossip worry you
If gossip is on your mind, check whether the Moon or the Devil sits in the second place. Both turn up when a story that is not true is going around. Justice or the Sun there means any misunderstanding is already clearing.
For one particular person's view of you, how do they feel about me separates how they act from what they really think.
Questions about how others see you
What happens if I choose blunt?
The reading states the uncomfortable part of the second card plainly. Use it when you want the honest version.
Does it work outside of work?
It works for a group of friends, neighbors or any circle you belong to. Picture which group you mean before you draw.
How do I improve how people see me?
Try the one thing in the third card. For your reputation at work in particular, the second card of the career tarot reading helps too.
