there are 2 challenges for me to help you here.

1. you have asked a yes/no question of the tarot, which rarely yields a clear response unless you have employed a specific technique to work with, e.g. reversed = no, upright = yes. This is not relevant unless you intended to use this technique when you cast the reading.

2. I rarely use reversed cards, unless I am employing the above technique or I simply cannot get clarity any other way (usually only when I read for myself!). I feel there is enough negativity in the tarot already without reversing cards, but this is just personal feeling.

So, all I can really say is to take the basic meaning of the Tower. It is a very distinct and clear card. It is basically a warning. It usually refers to an uncontrollable period of upheaval, which has come about as a result of avoidance or lack of insight.

My suggestion to you would be to recast, asking for information or insight regarding this job offer, exploring what you may gain or lose, what would be the challenges or boons, etc. I, personally, would be turning all my cards upright before recasting, but that is your choice as a reader.
You may wish to think about the areas of your life this may impact, and cast a card for each of these areas to gain as much detail as possible.

Hope this helps!

I always say it is best to ask for information or insight as opposed to yes or no, as the tarot is so rich in symbolism, yes/no answers pretty much fall short of its awesome capacity to provide insight. You must remember that there are also forces in this world outside of yourself that are influencing your path. The tarot's limit is the unexpected (other than stating it may occur, as with the Tower). If reading for others yes/no questions, its limit is their choices. This is one of the reasons yes/no questions can be tricky to 'read'. But not impossible, if you are willing to put in the extra effort.

There are a couple of ways to attempt to answer yes/no questions with the tarot, however, I have found that accuracy can be variable. A broad reading can help, as the cards around the yes/no card can either support it or not.

The simplest technique is to reverse half of your deck and then shuffle really well. Cast one card for your answer. Upright = yes. Reversed = No. Cast a spread around the answer card for further information. I would not take this initial answer as gospel, unless the spread around it supports it.

A second technique is to ask for the circumstances around the yes answer, or around the no answer. This way, you may recognise the context either presently, or in the near future that will confirm or refute your question.

Hope this helps!

yes, that's what I was saying. Seeking insight, circumstances, context is a far more accurate way to read IME.

I want to know what a love interest thinks of me. Instead of asking if they like me, I asked what they think of me

So I took your advice and changed the way I asked the question

I pulled 9 of pentacles. I see that it's a card about fulfillment and abundance but what could this mean in terms of romantic interest?

I mentioned this upthread, about the ethics of doing third party readings (finding out information about other people that have not requested the reading). Personally I steer away from these questions and ask about how it affects the querent, guidance for them as opposed to 'spying' on the other person. If that makes sense.

Normally when I read, I focus on #3.

My question referred to your expectations and how strong they were. I guess I was wondering how much you had invested, and also, what has he been showing to you so far i.e. the current status of the relationship.
That might be interesting, to compare the two. What you think of the relationship vs the current state of it.

basically i just met this person. i met them at their workplace (it is a store but i will not mention where it is). we talked a lot and he showed interest in me but i have no idea if it was just out of politeness. we did not exchange contact info so i do not have any communication with them, though i am aware of their social media

i will be back to where they work in a couple months to purchase and take care of something and they will be helping me. but basically i only met them that one time so it's literally like a love at first sight situation.

i took what you said in #3 and asked for guidance and asked "what is the best thing for me to do in this situation with X"

but for the record, i will be going back b/c i get a second free service which came with the deal that i purchased.

but I'm definitely open to a different interpretation

ya i mean my interpretation makes sense but i sort of already knew that haha

I often see the 9 of Pentacles as self-containment. I would surmise he may be (or feel) solely responsible for certain aspects of the trip and thus is making sure he has enough time to plan and attend to these.
