When You Don’t Like The Outcome In Your Tarot Reading

Ever get a tarot reading and you aren’t thrilling on the “likely outcome”?

Most of the time, we are emotionally invested in a particular result (especially when it comes to romance). No one likes to hear that they are not going to get what they want (cue the Rolling Stones).

So what can you do when the future is looking oh-so-craptacular?

First of all, here’s what NOT to do

Resist the urge to ask the same frigging question again and again in an aggressive attempt to get the answer you want.

Tarot doesn’t like that. Trust me. I’ve done that and the results were not pretty.

Instead, try this:

Don’t freak out. Take a moment to digest the reading. Sit with it. Let it percolate for a while. Meditate on your big why (why do I want this particular person/job/outcome etc.). Breathe.
Ask proactive follow up questions. For example, let’s say you asked about your job and the reading showed difficulty with your boss in the future. Rather than feel bummed or scared, ask the tarot strategic questions such as “how can I best deal with my boss?” or “what is the best way for me to create a positive work environment?” Asking questions like these will put your future in YOUR hands.
Get a second opinion. That being said, if you are running from reader to reader to reader to get the answer you want – you risk getting only more confused and wasting a lot of time, energy and money. My rule of thumb: one more opinion only. If it comes up the same, then it’s time to do a little inner work around the issue.

Any time we are consulting the cards or whatever form of divination, we must always remember that we create our own reality. Tarot can make us aware of potential problems down the road but it is still our personal responsibility to make conscious and positive decisions no matter what may seem to lie ahead.
