frightening situation

  

eight of swords + knight of pentacles  

Today's querent is in a somewhat frightening situation (Eight of Swords), but there is a way out.  It's not an easy way out, and this person's reputation may get banged up as she or he escapes.  Especially if today's querent is an Aquarius who has been faithful to one employer (Knight of Pentacles), feathers are bound to be ruffled when this Aquarius begins applying to other jobs and looking for another employer that she or he has more in common with.
