Tarot is traditionally a tool of divination, a means of seeing what the universe has in store. But is our destiny predictable?
Yes and no.
Sometimes I consider the concept of fate therapeutically: if we find ourselves in familiar situations over and over again, unconscious patterns are at work. If we never deal with these patterns then, yes, our future is predictable, because we will unknowingly recreate those situations ad infinitum.
I feel Tarot can reveal someone’s destiny (or unconscious patten) based on past and present energy but it can also show how to shift energy - and potentially change this pattern/destiny. The cards can guide us towards our own agency in any situation.
I try to take a leaf from The High Priestess’ book and encourage clients to follow their own intuition during a session and what they see in the cards too. Tarot taps into a guiding intelligence that is much bigger than us, but also resides within us. Everyone has access to this intelligence, it’s just a matter of connecting with it. It’s amazing to witness the insights clients receive when they can trust what comes to them – and it’s always true.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." Carl Jung
