Tarot is a book of spiritual wisdom in picture form that tells the story of all human experience.
With tarot, we connect with Spirit to discern wise guidance for the present, develop understanding of the past, and learn ways to work to manifest our goals and possibilities for the future.

Read MoreEveryone once in a while it seems that tarot “goes awry.” The card may clearly indicate one thing and something else may happen. Or eight cards in a nine-card spread all point to one thing, but the ninth card says something different and incongruous.
We all know the old adage, the cards never lie. But once in a while they sure do seem to misbehave.
Here are some things to think about when tarot misbehaves.
If you are using tarot predictively, it’s important to remember that nothing is ever set in stone. Things can change, even radically. Our readings are so constantly accurate that when a reading goes rogue we are surprised. Maybe that’s the point, to keep us on our toes and remind us that nobody can ever know the future all the time.
Tarot is like a conversation between three people who all speak different languages. Sometimes things get lost in the translation. At the same time, the knowledge that is communicated is always valuable.
Sometimes the cards answer questions other than what is being asked. A client may come with a question about career, but their family may be predominant in the cards. Sometimes it seems the cards try to direct us to what is most important.
The energy we put into a reading is the energy we get out of a reading. The more focused we are, the more meditative we are, the more information we are able to get. It’s fine to do readings in the spirit of fun, but those readings may not be as deep, meaningful or accurate as those done with a more serious attitude.
Sometimes many possibilities are at play at the same time. The rogue card may be a “minority report.” Sometimes the least likely possibility is the one that happens.
Each card has many possible interpretations. Sometimes the interpretation you know and use is less appropriate than another traditional interpretation.
Perhaps the reading itself changes possibilities. I’m not a physicist, but I understand that in quantum theory something is changed when it is observed. When I perform a tarot reading for someone I often hope that it will be change-making in their lives.
What if the very act of reading on a topic opens up new possibilities?
Tarot is an art, not a science. Divination has a margin of error. While we always need to be aware of this, it doesn’t change the incredible overall value of tarot and divination.
Very little on the planet functions perfectly one hundred percent of the time. When something usually functions very well it surprises us on rare occasions when it doesn’t function as expected.
When the cards go rogue it may be an indicator of something larger at play, something that will be revealed at a later date. The wise reader knows that sometimes when more of the story emerges the card will make more sense.
Tarot seems to go rogue more often if we are focused on future predictions and yes/no answers. Tarot functions most reliably when we ask questions that seek to empower us to create our own future.
No one knows why tarot works; why the cards so often speak such truth. Neither do we know, on the rare occasions when the cards seem to not make sense, if there is not some greater meaning trying to present itself.
In a reading, it is sometimes difficult to say “This is likely to happen, but it is also possible that this other thing could happen instead.” People like definitive answers.
But here is the sweet, sweet truth in all of this. In many situations, more than one outcome is possible. This gives each of us a great deal of power to create wonderful things in our lives. Many times fate and destiny are not as important as clear goals, a vision, and direction. It is in working to build that vision and make a plan of action that tarot is a most effective tool.
As I do every year, I have issued my predictions for 2014. I do this more in the spirit of good fun than anything else. You can read my predictions on my personal blog.
Here on the Community Blog I thought it might be interesting to share with my tarot friends my process for making these predictions, and the cards I received.
In meditation, I thought about what questions might be most important. I ask Spirit to guide me to the questions I needed to ask, just as I do in a regular tarot reading.
Below, you will see the questions I felt led to ask, the cards I pulled and some of my thoughts about them. Read the published predictions to see how the questions and cards turned into a New Year’s prediction for 2014.
How will history remember the 2014 Obama administration? Page of Pentacles Rx
The Page of Pentacles RX is immature and inexperienced.
How will the first year of the Affordable Care Act go? Three of Wands
Success!
How will the public perceive the success of the ACA? Six of Sword Rx
Hmmm, not so much!
What will happen during the House of Representatives elections?
Judgment
Wow! Better pay attention! Major Changes!
Who will have House majority? Republicans: Queen of Wands Rx, Democrats: Judgment
Judgment again! Dems take it, based on the strong opinions of voters. Interesting, in the deck I am using the Judgment card is called “Karma.”
What will happen in the Senate elections (33 seats)? Seven of Pentacles Rx
Does the public feel the Senators do not work hard enough?
How will third party candidates do? Seven of Pentacles.
Ahh, perhaps third party candidates will work harder!
Will the Democrats retain control of the Senate? The Star Rx. Six of Wands Rx
Wow. Maybe not!
Will Congressional approval rating improve, decline or stay the same? Two of Pentacles Rx
Guess not!
Will Obama’s approval rating (currently 40%) improve, decline or stay the same? The Wheel of Fortune
Anything can happen, but Obama may get a lucky break.
How will the Tea Party do? Ace of Pentacles Rx
Uh-oh! Someone may be out of a job!
Will there be support for a more bipartisan approach? Emperor
Emperor again! It looks as though our leaders will be interested in taking care of their responsibilities in a way that earns our respect! Agreeing to work together might accomplish that!
End of Marijuana Prohibition – What will happen in Colorado and Washington? Two of Wands
Planning for a nice future! Figuring out how it will all work.
Will any other states join them in 2014? The Emperor
Certainly politicians will at least begin the conversation!
How will the US economy be in 2014? Ace of Wands
Nice! New growth, new energy new excitement!
What will happen with China? The High Priestess Rx
China may show disrespect to an American female official, or may suffer a human rights crisis.
How will U.S. - Sino relations be? Six of Swords Rx
A stalemate, not moving forward, not finding common logic.
What about the Middle East? Five of Wands Rx
Continued struggle due to ideology, but not as bad as it could be.
What will happen in women’s fashion? Seven of Pentacles RX, High Priestess
There will be sometimes when clothes must be perfect, most of the time they shouldn’t require too much work or money.
What will happen with video games? Hermit
Genius at work, but not everyone knows him.
What about the theory that the world is shifting, that we are becoming more psychic and more aware? Four of Wands
Yes, but it is happening in a stable and planned way?
What about the idea that our society is crumbling?
Judgment – for the third time! A lot of people believe the world is in chaos. Because of where Judgment came up before I am thinking about this sentiment creating real changes in politics. I also feel, spiritually, that we must transform and be changed as a nation. This might not be easy, but it must happen.
Is now a time of change more than any other time in history, give or take? Knight of Swords
Yes, especially when it comes to science and communication – things that make the world smaller.
As I see it, the psychic process here happens in two ways – the choosing of the questions and the interpreting of the cards both offer room for Spirit to speak.
There is no one right way to do this sort of a reading – I do it differently each year. My results are usually pretty good.
The biggest challenge for me is that calendar years are so finite, and Spirit is so fluid! Timing is hard in any reading – but to say for sure that something will happen specifically in 2014 versus 2015 is a bit of a stretch sometimes.
My favorite thing about this process is the opportunity for the same card to come up multiple times. In this process we saw Judgment and the Emperor both having a strong showing. To me this speaks of the public holding the politicians accountable.
Not every tarot reader makes future predictions. But for the ones who do, here’s a thought.
Often clients will ask for a prediction based on their own assumption of what will happen. A perfect example of this was the 2000 American Presidential Election. The question posed of psychics was “Who will win the election, Al Gore or George W. Bush?”
A few psychics had the courage to get it right, predicting that Bush would not win the vote but would be appointed president.
I use the word “courage” because that is what it takes to see past assumptions.
This sort of situation happens every day. Perhaps the question is “I’m going to court on Friday. What will be the outcome?”
The cards show no outcome at all. The reader is confused, and doesn’t know what to say.
That Friday, the court date is postponed.
The cards will reflect the truth. We need to have the courage and creativity to interpret it.
For us, the solution is deceptively simple.
Assume nothing.
Assume that the basic premise of the question may be faulty.
Be willing to ask other questions of the cards, such as “Will there be a winner at all?” or “Will the game be played as expected?” or “Will the meeting occur as planned?”
Your client may be adamant that things will go as expected.
It’s our job to remember that here on planet Earth nothing goes as expected.
