Tarot is not fortune telling. It doesn't show a definite future, but rather, a possible outcome of events which is influenced by the behaviour and attitude of yourself and others around you. There are many possible outcomes; it is all based upon how you handle the information given to you. Decisions made by you as a result of a tarot reading are your sole responsibility. Tarot shows the current path you are on. If you stay on that path, tarot shows you the outcome. If you deviate from the path (whether that is a positive or a negative thing), the outcome will change. This is why a tarot reading can be so helpful - it can show you whether you need to change your approach or keep going as you are.
