Tarot cards provide insight and guidance into events from the past, present and future. When consulting the cards for information on the future, what you need to keep in mind is that the cards are revealing what one possible outcome could look like.
TLDR: 1) The future is fluid. 2) Free will is for real.
The beauty of tarot cards is that not only do they help answer the questions we most fear speaking out loud, but they shed light on why events have come to pass and how they are shaping us in the present. Future outcomes may be formed from the ripples of things that have occurred in the past or are taking place right now.
Understanding ourselves, which includes all our experiences up until the moment the cards are drawn, helps feed the engine driving us toward our potential futures.
And then there is the matter of free will. Merely by inquiring about your future allows you to be more open to receiving additional guidance and direction on how to obtain the outcome you seek.
Unless you ask the cards how all this information plays into your future, you may not get the complete picture.
Reading For Ourselves Versus Getting A Reading
What makes reading tarot cards for ourselves tricky is that we all naturally have an implicit bias. Generally we have an idea of how we want something to turn out. We want to marry the partner we are dating. We want to get the job offer. We want a loved one to forgive us. This partiality for a particular future can impede the accuracy of a reading.
For example, you may interview for a job that by today’s standards is the perfect fit for you. The salary is great, the company culture matches your own values and they offer ample vacation time. You want this job. However, because you’re so focused on whether you can get this job or not, you’re ignoring the voice inside you that is telling you that no matter how ‘perfect’ this next job is, it’s still going to be another job where you are working for someone else. What you really want is to work for yourself.
In my experience as a psychic and tarot reader, predicting the future for a client means voicing the needs of their soul and allowing the client to see other versions of the future that are open to them.
Asking To See The Future Takes Courage
If someone wants to know what the future holds for themselves, chances are they want to be prepared for that outcome or find a way to change where their current future path is leading. Asking the tarot cards “What does my future hold?” is a question brave people ask. These are individuals that understand that the Universe is filled with wisdom and guidance to support us on our journey; and that we play an important role in how our future unfolds.
