Tarot reading which most of the people consider as just fortune telling is actually a form of counseling. It is an antique form of divination that predates popular psychology. The tale you are told by the Tarot reader is similar to a myth or allegory. Tarot reading describes a journey that mirrors your path in life. Usually the story told by a tarot reader is a direct description of what is going to happen tomorrow although talented Tarot readers like Tanya can tell you much more than that from looking at the symbols in the cards! The true purpose of the Tarot card reading is to construct a future narrative so that you can make decisions to change your fate.

The Tarot reader shuffles cards and lays them out in a specific pattern called a spread. This can be compared to a snapshot or map of your life. Each card position in the layout of the spread represents a characteristic of the situation in question like what forces are beyond your control, what are your particular strengths in the situation, and what is the likely outcome. As the tarot cards fall into their positions, meaning is created by the unique placement of the symbolic meanings. This random activity is synchronistic. Synchronicity is a principle that is not only referred to constantly in psychology but also in quantum physics. The entire system of Tarot cards can be described as a pictorial or numerological expression of the human condition.

The Tarot cards can be compared to a wise friend who we can turn to when we wish to make a wise decision regarding a relationship or a career. The wisdom found inside the Tarot cards, is actually the same wisdom that is found inside each and every one of us. The whole purpose of tarot card reading is to tell you what you don't know so that you can use your free will to take appropriate actions that are good for your future.
