Usually the story is a direct description of what is going to happen tomorrow although
talented Tarot readers can tell you much more than that from looking at the symbols in the Tarot cards! The true purpose of the Tarot cards is to construct a future narrative so that you can make decisions to change your fate.
The tarot reader shuffles cards and lays them out in a specific pattern usually called a "Tarot spread." This can be compared to a snapshot or map of your life. Each Tarot card position in the layout of the tarot spread represents a characteristic of the situation in question --what forces are beyond your control, what are your particular strengths in the situation, and what is the likely outcome. As the Tarot cards fall into their positions, meaning is created by the unique placement of the symbolic meanings. This random activity is synchronistic. Synchronicity is a principle that is not only referred to constantly in psychology but also in quantum physics. The entire system of Tarot cards can be described as a pictorial or numerological expression of the human condition.
The Tarot cards can be comparedto a wise friend who we can turn to when we wish to make a wise decision regarding a relationship or a career. The wisdom found inside the Tarot card reading is actually the same wisdom that is found inside each and every one of us. The whole purpose of a Tarot reading is to tell you what you don't know so that you can use your free will to take appropriate actions that are good for your soul.
