The Sacred Flame

For you, I draw The Sacred lame, reversed. This is the Shapeshifter Tarot's equivalent to the Ace of Swords, though most decks list swords as an air rather than a fire card.

The image is a dryad being ecstatically struck by lightning. The glow from the lightning gives the appearance of gold coins to the rocks and soil at her feer/roots. With the card reversed, it's as if her branches and arms are her roots, and the coins are her fruits.

It looks to me as if you need to tend the "roots" of your work performance, whether that is finding ways to feel inspired or just taking care of yourself (or perhaps both). Also, asking for help from above (in the spiritual sense) and from below (in practical terms, perhaps advice or cooperation from co-workers? Or maybe you could inspire them?) may be in order.

There is also a cow standing next to the dryad; with the card reversed, I go back and forth between seeing an odd-shaped mountain in the distance and seeing two towers on a hill. I'm not sure what to make of that, but perhaps it will suggest something to you.

It's a powerful card, though in the sense of being empowered, not in the sense of exercising power over others. Whether you find your inspiration in a comment from a co-worker or from your higher self, you are in a position to make constructive improvements. Just be as wise as you can, since a reversed card always carries some amount of either warning for the future or recognition that something you're doing now could bear improvement.

But of course, given your question, you knew that already.
