Does Tarot predict our fortune or help create it?
The Wheel of Fortune, heralds this blog and asks the question…
How do we activate the change we desire?
The Emperor reminds us we always power…
Does a tarot reading predict our Fortune or does it help create it? I believe it helps us create the future we desire. And that the universe responds to our intention and desire
The Wheel of fortune is ever the card that reminds us of the constant flux of life, the ever cyclical movement of the seasons, that we are in constant change. The card asks us to consider where we are on the wheel. Sometimes we on the way up and sometimes we are on the way down. Is the sap rising or falling? It is the natural order of things.
When the Wheel of Fortune turns up in a tarot reading it is a wake up call to a moment in which many forces (out of our control) may be at play but! In my belief equally it alerts us to the opportunity to jump into the wheel of life and effect the change we would like. The potential for a dynamic and creative act.
Does destiny decide our fate or do our actions affect destiny? We do have a choice. Even when we sense the inevitable, there is choice. When this card comes up in a reading there is a good chance the tarot is saying JUMP into the Wheel and take action and quite often any action with intention will move the wheel in our favour.
Whatever the circumstance, this is the moment to cast the dice, to set an intention for a new cycle.
Here are some answers to your questions about Tarot and predicting our future…
1. Does tarot predict our future or guide our decisions?
Tarot is best understood as a guidance tool rather than a fixed predictor of the future. It reflects current energies, patterns, and influences, helping you make more informed decisions.
2. Is tarot about fate or free will?
Tarot sits between fate and free will. It may highlight likely outcomes based on current paths, but your choices and actions always have the power to change those outcomes.
3. How much control do we have over outcomes shown in tarot readings?
You have significant control. Tarot shows possibilities, not certainties, meaning your mindset, decisions, and actions can shift the direction of events.
4. Do tarot cards reveal fixed outcomes or possible paths?
They reveal possible paths. The cards indicate where things may lead if nothing changes, but they also empower you to adjust your course.
5. How should you interpret tarot guidance for real-life decisions?
Use tarot as a reflective tool—consider how the message applies to your situation, trust your intuition, and combine the insight with practical thinking before making decisions.
