Tarot card reader?

Question

what exactly is a tarot card reader cause i have absolutely no idea

Answer 1

I don't know that a reader is a fortune teller -- depends on how you define "fortune teller".  A tarot reader is definitely not someone who predicts the future -- unless it's something of the "If you don't get off your butt and do something about your problem you'll never get it solved" variety.

A good tarot reading helps a querant think through an issue.  It does this by presenting varying perspectives about the issue and helps the querant "step outside himself" to view his issue the same way an outside person would.  Ever think about how easy it is to give advice to a person -- but it's really  hard to think of good advice for yourself?  You're too close to the issue -- there are things you know but try to avoid seeing.  Tarot helps you get past this.  Tarot can help give you confidence in yourself (by illustrating how capable you are and the strengths you do have).

A common reading experience I'll have is to find the querant originally only sees one solution to his issue.  A Tarot reading will help them see many possible ways to view his issue -- including things like "Why, this issue isn't as critical as I originally thought."  Things like "My loser boyfriend left me -- how can I get him back?" become "Have I been dropped on my head?!!!  He's a loser, why in the world would I want him back!"

It's not what the Tarot reader sees in the cards that counts.  The Tarot reader simply helps the querant see what the cards mean personally.

Answer 2

A tarot reader is a fortune teller who uses tarot cards. Other fortune tellers use regular playing cards (tarot cards are also playing cards used for a large number of games in Europe), dice, dominos, tea leaves or anything else with a random element.
