When we do a reading, most of our friends, clients or people in general want to know “when” a specific event will take place.
Clients, for example, may want to know when they will get married, or when they will get a raise (or some money-related issue), or questions about their partner's fidelity.
The Question
At this stage, it makes sense to help customers (or friends) rephrase their question, if possible. In this sense, my sincere opinion is that the Tarot does not tell you when you should do something, but it can help you in the process.
Only by providing the cards with an orientation framework in the form of a chronology can the “when” aspect be highlighted. Instead of asking when something will happen, I help my clients reframe their query to ask if something will happen in the next six months.
I also inform my clients that if they want to know the “when” factor, they should consult a professional astrologer. However, based on what I know about astrology, I believe that they cannot predict the “when” part of the equation either.
They can tell you when a favorable opportunity will present itself, allowing you to take the necessary steps to make it a reality at that time.
No matter where one seeks advice, nothing can manifest unless one takes some sort of action. Tarot cards can help you with the action part of the reading.
So we come back to the original question:
To what extent can Tarot cards predict the future?
For the most part, the reason is self-explanatory. Tarot is more “in the now” than other divination systems. Every time we do readings, we are tapping into the energies of the present and they provide us with the threads of previous events that have shaped this present, and then guide us into the future.
The present has a significant impact on the future. Events taking place in the present will, by their very nature, have an impact on events taking place in the future.
The reason for this is that Tarot cannot provide reliable long-term forecasts.
Therefore, Tarot card predictions may be applicable for the next two months and, at most, for the next six months or more..
If we ask the cards to offer us longer-term advice, they are more than capable of doing so. However, they will limit themselves to providing the highlights of the story.
They cannot provide a complete account of the facts. If a client is satisfied with this, then it is acceptable. However, in the absence of such information, only a more complete and accurate short-term guidance/forecast can be obtained.
