Anxiety and Tarot DO NOT belong together.

I've been seeing some posts lately here about some readings predicting infidelity or other upsetting outcomes for their clients, and then just leave things that way for them to ponder and stress over. Honestly, it raises a HUGE red flag for me. I mean, do challenging cards come up in readings? Yes. Can negative energies be at play in our lives? Sure. But tarot isn't meant to trap you in fear. It's meant to guide you. It was designed to be a navigational tool. As a reader, my focus, whether I'm reading for myself or for a client, is to find pathways through those challenges. Like how can we understand the situation better? Or what strengths can we draw upon? I usually like to gain clarity on the steps we can take to move forward in a positive direction when performing a reading. 

A good reading should leave you feeling empowered or guided, not anxious. It should offer clarity. If you've had a reading that left you feeling scared or hopeless, please know that's not the norm. It might be worth seeking out a different reader whose approach resonates more with you. There are so many amazing readers out there who use tarot as a tool for healing and growth. Don't let one bad experience turn you off from the potential benefits of tarot. Remember, the cards only reflect potential outcomes based on who you are currently. You always have your will, even during hard times. I often tell my clients this.
