Can Tarot Cards Predict The Future?
There are a lot of ‘psychics’ out there that claim to be able to tell you exactly what is going to happen, just by using tarot or oracle cards.
Although there are plenty of psychics offering genuine services, tarot is always the target of novelty fortune telling, and it can give the art of divination a bad rep.
For me, and for pretty much everything I create for Energetic Tarot, tarot is a tool for self-discovery. It is a way for me to reflect parts of myself back to my conscious mind, so I can make better sense of things and get the full picture of what’s going on with me.
I started using tarot to support me through poor mental health, and since then, I have worked hard to find others who want to dive deep into the world of tarot in a more holistic and self-care-centred way.
You hold the answers within yourself
It might surprise you that the tarot simply reflects what you already know subconsciously, back to you. This is why most, if not all, of my tarot reading clients come back to me after our email readings to say that they had a feeling everything we worked through in the reading was true.
A tarot reading is less like being told what to think or feel and more like having your eyes opened to what’s already right in front of you.
We all have our own ways in which we find a connection to a particular card and its meaning. This connection that we make is our subconscious putting the pieces together for our conscious brains. We start to see our answer reflected back to us, and the realisation starts to dawn about what we need to do, or what lessons we need to learn.

Suggesting what COULD happen
What the tarot can do is suggest possibilities that you can keep in mind moving forward. We all have free will, so nothing can ever be truly predicted, but what the tarot can do is give us warnings or hope for what could happen to us.
For example, if you ask the tarot to help you understand what you need to know about your relationship, and it tells you that in the near future, you should expect a big commitment, it’s really up to you to then take steps to make that happen.
It’s only by following the lessons and advice of the tarot that we can even begin to step foot on the path to that outcome. If you ignore what lessons the tarot has given you, then you may find yourself with a completely different ending to your story.
The lessons of the tarot
Every tarot reading will offer some sort of lesson or point to think about once your reading is complete. Whether it is the major life lessons offered by the major arcana or the smaller lessons offered by the minor arcana.
One of my favourite things about tarot is that it is like having a personal life coach that you can bring out whenever you feel you need it most. You can discover so much about yourself and your options through tarot reading, and it can also offer a lot of comfort and support.
