What you need to know about tarot and why the cards don’t predict the future

Why do we need tarot cards

Tarot is definitely not fortune telling. There is such a law: where there is attention, there is energy. Thus, the tarot is a self-knowledge tool that shows a person where their energy is right now and what they are focusing on. It shows a person’s thoughts, feelings and actions, predicts where they are leading him and helps to understand if he is going in the right direction. In addition, Tarot cards allow you to look at the various situations in which a person finds himself, such as from the outside. Which, in turn, helps to understand them better, whether they are relationship issues or work-related issues. After all, the purpose of Tarot is to analyze the causal relationship in a given situation and help a person make the right choice.

How many times can you go to the tarot reader

There are also analogs of psychological crutches in the Tarot, when a person comes to consult almost every month, and this is wrong. It is acceptable for a person to come once every six months, but when the trips become frequent, it only means the absence of an inner core and a sense of responsibility for making decisions and one’s life in general. Therefore, the Tarot should not be treated as a magic pill, but only as a tool for diagnosis and understanding of the world and of oneself.

What are the taboos of the Tarot

The main tarot taboo is probably the word “guess”. Masters usually say “look”, “see”, “diagnose” and “predict”.

A good tarot reader never works on the subject of death and disease and does not give fatal predictions to a person. It is forbidden to monitor a person’s health, for this there are MRIs and doctors. Yes, a Tarot reader can do an energy chakra alignment and see the area where a person is having trouble. But this is the maximum, after which the master will simply advise you to go to the doctor. A Tarologist does not diagnose, treat or work with third parties. So, to the question “Look how my ex is doing, and what he has on a personal level”, a good master will not answer either.

Is it possible to make a layout for yourself and how effective is it

It is possible and very necessary to visualize your states yourself. Self-knowledge, even at a basic level, is an important and useful thing, but it raises the question of effectiveness and what affects it. The first factor is training. Did you learn from the master or do the alignment according to the video on YouTube and the manual. Because studying the Tarot in combination with practice and simply reading the interpretations are completely different things, and, objectively, the latter will be less effective.

One of the most popular questions: is it possible to talk to each other about love? It is possible, but there is a nuance here and the second factor is the moment of self-interest. When a person is interested in a problem, either he will be afraid and will not be able to read something, or he will do it as he wants to see it. Therefore, even tarot masters turn to other tarot readers for more objectivity.

The most popular tarot myths

The most common is the fear of prediction. People are afraid that the tarot reader will see something bad, predict death or other misfortunes in the future. But, as we said earlier, the tarot is not revealing. And to get an answer or advice, you need to ask a question about the relevant topic. Therefore, it should be remembered that the tarot reader does not predict the future of any specific person or program, and the layouts do not feature deaths.

Another popular stereotype is related to the appearance of the master. People still imagine a gypsy fortune teller in a turban, with long fingernails and a glass ball on the table. While Tarot readers are ordinary, modern people who can even work in parallel in completely different fields.

How to recognize an incompetent master

The first red flag is, of course, when they strongly invite you, impose their services and say that all predictions come true one hundred percent. Another trick is to scare a person that they have damage on them that needs to be removed urgently. From such masters it is better to immediately run. Also now in social networks so-called general layouts are very popular. The truth is that there is no alignment for everyone, so the master who comes up with a one-size-fits-all solution is more likely a good marketer, not a tarot reader.

Therefore, do not be afraid to turn to the Tarot for help, the main thing is to remember the basic rules: choose good and trustworthy masters and do not treat the Tarot as a magic pill who will solve all your problems for you.
