Tarot card reading question?

Question

Okay I had a reading last year, 2006 in May. I think it was pretty vague but 2 of my girlfriends go to this lady and get semi accurate readings. I have a boyfriend who is incarcerated and myself am going thru a custody case in court and she didn't mention either of these things in my reading. I was wondering if some people are easier to read than others or what? At the time of my reading I was having alot of stress at work and she did pick up on that and told me to quit my job within 6 months or my health would suffer but didn't give any specifics. Here it is over a year later and I still have the same job, no health problems. Like I said my 2 girlfriends get pretty accurate readings but mine wasn't really on point. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I've been reading Tarot for some 35 years, and I do not see my own style in anything you have described. For one thing, I don't expect to "pick up on" every aspect of a person's life, or to make predictions to any great extent. I do not so much predict as advise.

What I do is lay down the cards and tell the client what I see in them. I don't claim any special "psychic" power, other than some ability to read rather subtle clues at the subliminal level. But I read the cards. I have studied them and their symbolism, and the ways in which they correspond to other symbol systems, notably the kabalah, astrology and numerology, but some other systems as well in the case of particular decks.

I do not say the reader was a fraud, but I do say she apparently had a very different style from my own.

If you definitely want to go to a tarot card reader, then maybe you should try someone else -- what do you have to lose. You don't mention the type of semi-accurate readings your friends had. For instance, did she give them semi-accurate relationship advice that could be applied to most relationships or did she say something more specific but got details wrong ("your uncle will leave you mone", but it was the aunt).

The fact that you aren't 100% comfortable suggests that you should shop around. Alternately, if you have an extra $20 and you think it might just be "fun" to see what she says, then go back to the reader. Personally, I'd check out someone else.

There are those who use metaphysical tools such as tarots to "fortune-tell", a superficial surface game that when played has the potential to generate limits and fears. Then there are those who use said same tools for psychological soul searching, an activity that permeates a deeper level of one's personal understanding of universal mysteries and their connections to those mysteries.

When one "predicts" future outcomes, they are "fortune-telling"... and here's the secret: Nothing is written in blood upon stone. We all have choice, and that includes the choice to do nothing at all, to let things be as they are and thus not attempt to influence the future in some way by changing some behavior in the "now". Fortune-telling is entertaining, but cannot be taken literally, obviously, due to the dynamic (rather than static) nature of human life.

If you could remember the cards the reader pulled, you could use the symbolism to assess issues and options for handling those issues you had at the time (this requires going deeper into the self, and a willingness to be self-honest with your current "reality" in order to find solutions to problems you're having)... but, it would be better to just get another reading, and this time from someone who uses the tarots for self-improvement purposes rather than for fortune-telling entertainments, if you're really looking for "serious" tarot readings. However, if you're not looking for anything serious, then just keep in mind that seeking someone to fortune-tell for you is just an entertainment that you've spent "fun money" on. ;)

[EDIT]
My point is that in "predicting" the future, there's a 50/50 chance that the reader will "get it right". Thus, your two friends were on the 50% side that the reader "got right", and you were on the 50% side that the reader "got wrong".

nicely i'm assuming that ultimately you will meet a guy and have a infant sometime on your lifetime. it quite is how those issues artwork, they make typical statements that ought to truly persist with to everybody and then whilst it happens you will think of that the tarot examining got here actual. Psychics use this comparable technique. they are going to make some imprecise assertion like, I see a guy whose call starts off with the letter J. nicely, possibilities are high there is a few guy on your life, relative, boyfriend, coworker...whose call starts off with the letter J. Then they are going to make yet another imprecise statment like, I experience a distance between you. this could be interpreted by utilising you as a actual or emotional distance, and back, possibilities are high the assertion became into the basically right option. it quite is how people like psychics and Tarot card readers make funds...its basically business enterprise.

Do this - go to mysticgames.com and enter as a guest. You can do a reading yourself - free of charge. However, it is important that you clear your mind of all things, and have a specific question in mind, and not a "yes or no" question either. I find the Tarot helps me pay attention to certain areas in my life. One mistake people make is that they believe the Tarot will tell them the future, and that is not so. The future is in your hands; the Tarot just helps you see how you can change it by being connected to the present.

This reader sounds like a charlatan - how much money did she take from you? Any GOOD reader would have picked up on those two - I would say - very MAJOR issues that are bearing down on you mentally, emotionally and psychically. Find a real reader. She probably knows your friends better and knows what is going on with them which is why she has something to work with.
