I am exactly the same regarding the intellect but there is a huge throwback as you've mentioned. Sometimes it is not enough to be clever and see how the problem or situation works or could be solved, sometimes you just have to do the thing. That is excellent training by the way. 1) because you'll realize that your ability to experience things changes and new doors open so the problem can't be understood from step 1 at all, because once you open up even just a little bit your perspective is different. In that sense, spirituality bring dynamism. You can stand above a bluff and look at the valley and see the best path to take, but it is only when you get down into the bush that you really know. Think it this way the intellect is only recycling what you already know based on what you can perceive at that moment, you can push the boundaries a little bit with reasoning and logic but it is always standing (static) on previous knowledge. So it is an excellent tool but it can only take you so far. In order to get new knowledge you have to move. 2) You'll realize that there are different modes of thinking within the mind for which intuition is one of them. I divide them in "talking" like mathemtical logical thinking --creating thoughs yourself-- and "listening" like intuition and meditation which is about taking the broader patterns from the cosmos and gestating them into new things.
Regarding the reading. It is very difficult to convey the actual message of the cards because I always have to crystallize it somehow, like taking a snapshot of something that is dynamic, that is where the art of the diviner comes from, by not moving it too much in one direction or another but still saying something useful. It's like the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, if you try to observe it your act of observing has altered the system, so you can never know of a particles its position and its speed at the same time. With a reading it's the same, you can never convey the patterns and what it could be in the life of the querent at the same time! I can see the patterns in the reading but I can only approximate when I have to interpret, however, differently than in quantum mechanics there is a way to by pass this, that is why I post a picture of the spread. With my interpretation in hand, you can look at it and start seeing the patterns yourself through journaling and meditation.
Whether or not your current job is conducive in the long run for your spiritual path, I don't know, but at least for now, the cards seem to suggest that you try to not make them opposite things and figure out ways for the process to be as smooth as possible. In 6 months, a year or five, things could be different but for now it seems the best course of action, taking everything in consideration (economic stability, providing to your family, the current global mess) it seems that you just need to plow through it. What I do know is that by the time you finish the DMH you'll be a different person, you will be in a different place in your mind and be more prepared to do something about it.
Regarding your wife, that happens, and I am happy to zoom in into that as well in a few weeks once you've taken in this reading and the events that it talks about, that way you will integrate them into yourself and be easier to move into another aspect. That said though, have you considered including her in some aspects of it? Joint prayer is a very sweet thing to do, you don't have to tell her all the vastness behind it but just sit and pray. To my friends and family I just tell them all the ritual is a fancy way of meditation and include them when appropriate.
