For all and nobody at the same time.

I repeat: for all and thence NOBODY at the same time.

So, please, STOP thinking that a TikToker with thousands of views on a general reading is just talking about your life. They. Are. Not.

Now, if you spend hours of your day consuming that kind of content, please stop here for some minutes and reflect.

How can the same reading apply to you and thousands of other people at the same moment? True readings are done for you, and for you only.

Interactives are a social media format, NOT proper divination, NOR any other kind of tarot reading.

I understand that creators need a low-effort way to fill their channels (otherwise they could better do, say, real live short readings, which require showing some talent and receiving live feedback) but, sincerely, I’ve started reading around that very young people take this seriously, and we aaaaall need to stop it.

This thing is becoming quite dangerous. It’s literally making you a poor DELULU, guys.

Yes, because, if it were just a silly and harmless thing, people would take it for what it is – colored entertainment.

Instead, there’s something else happening there, and it’s idiotizing you day after day.

Have you noticed that interactives always tell good stories…? Good excuses? Good hopes?

Is that guy not giving a sh* about you anymore...? It's always because he’s shy/blocked/traumatized, but he secretly thinks about you. It never happens that they just don’t give a sh*.

Are you in an abusive relationship? It will get marvelous! It never happens that someone tells you that's not normal, and maybe you should do something before you f*ck up your mental health...

Have you got a problem? Everything will always resolve and people will come towards you, the real center of the universe! It never happens that, probably, you just have to pick yourself up and rebuild your life after a failure, like we all do, because nobody will come after you...

Hello? Wake uuup!!! You’re well past the age of fables!

Those people are capitalizing on your worst naivety and attachments. They are telling you to flush your intelligence down the toilet, and just hope… On the basis of a general message, done for everyone, and therefore for no one. Because you are unique, and so generalist messages cannot be for YOU. They are ultimately just for NOBODY.

Please, be smart, and don’t let the worst dumb mentality install itself in you. The world is hard, people are bad, problems happen, and you need your best discernment to navigate life and succeed. But to succeed, you need to face your problems, not pretend they are something else... because the surest way to make a problem become big and swallow you, is to ignore it.

The very same moment that you drop your judgment to attach yourself to false hopes, you’re giving up the best part of yourself in favor of idiocy, dictated to you by commercial formats.

So, again, stop this addiction to interactive cards. And stop believing them.

Real readings are done for you only. Interactives are NOT real readings.

Sorry, I had to say this sooner or later.

Hi all, just discovered the cat people tarot and I quite dig it, but I'm still going back and forth.

I also like Stella's but it is hard to find in Germany.

Basically I love decks that seem to have a world of their own, yet dedicated to Tarot and doesn't feel rushed.

Other decks I like are Shadowscapes, Paulina and Wild Unknown. Thank you!

Currently writing a story where a character picks up vibes between two of her friends and does a reading that will indicate that there’s pretty strong potential there. The two friends in question are still both oblivious; the reader character asks one of them to pull cards and directs them to lay them out.

At the time of the reading in narrative, the reader will not ask questions aloud or explain, just a very short detailing of the cards’ individual meanings will be given; context will be explained later in the story.

For simplicity’s sake I’ll only be putting major arcana cards in the spread; I’ve got some light experience in reading and feel pretty comfortable picking cards to suit my narrative/the characters that are meaning-accurate.

What I can’t seem to find is a spread that will work - all of the ones that I can find regarding romantic potential are like 7+ cards. I’d prefer to keep it simpler; something that is like:

-person A
-past, or what they bring to the table, etc
-person B
-past, or what they bring to the table, etc
-what the potential is for the relationship
-possibly a sixth, detailing what they need to be mindful of

I’d appreciate any resources you guys can provide, or if you personally know of a spread that could suit!

had this pulled for me as a simple past present future reading by a friend. right now I am in therapy processing a breach of trust/potential grooming & abuse from someone who was in a position of authority over me as a teenager.

first two cards are pretty straightforward I suppose- I can see the devil reversed as representing the lack of moral structure and emotional discord in my life at the time and for many years after. the emperor as present is like the methodical approach I am taking to processing what happened, as well as forming my own moral boundaries and values, and seeing the situation for what it was: a male authority figure who should have done better.

future card has me a little worried as I have been feeling some loneliness recently and I know I need to push myself to make some more friends as well as firm up my own self esteem against social anxiety. hermit reversed doesn’t make me feel great about those prospects. I read reversed cards as a call to action, and I guess in this case it seems like a caution against current introspection and hesitance leading me into an unhealthy kind of solitude. My thing is like… I already sort of feel like that! I know I need to take action to widen my circle but it just feels like I am waiting until everything else is settled to do so. So I suppose I am worried that hermit reversed indicates a worsening of this situation rather than an improvement.
Another potential interpretation I have of this card is being shunned or distanced from as a result of speaking out about the past abuse, although this has not been the case so far with my family, friends, or my therapist, despite my fears of that.

Any thoughts? I appreciate any input! TIA! Xx

My cat (Roquefort) died yesterday and I am having a rough time. I had a baby last month and thought my baby and Roquefort would be very good friends.

I pulled the cards with not specific spread in mind. Here is my interpretation

Temperance: I need time to process what happened and with time I will remember him fondly.

The Chariot: Having trouble interpreting this card, the sphinx resembles my cat that was black and white.

Page of Cups: Meaning new begginings,

The whole reading gives me a feeling of taking time to remember the good memories and being able to look forward.

what do you think of the reading? thank you!!

I pulled two to get some guidance, but I would be interested to see how somebody else would interprets it?

My question was “because ai is taking over my job, is this new career path I’ve been researching a correct choice for me?”

I got the Tower and the Star.

I believe the tower is showing me that my current job is insecure and crumbling. And the star is showing me my chosen path is good as it’d be people focused.
