Tarot cards are like a mirror which shows the true self of a person, his thoughts, desires, dreams and attitudes which are nothing but a result of his past actions and thoughts. This is one of the reasons why tarot has proved immensely useful for predictions.
People in the present world have become “Psychological Greenhouse” because of repressed emotions, actions and thoughts which have not found expression. This has led to the disconnection between mind, body and soul. Psychologists today believe that these repressions are the cause of emotional problems, unfounded fears, phobias, PMS and in extreme cases hallucinations and delusions. What has really happened here and with most people is that they are not aware of their true self. They have lost touch with themselves in the busy routines of their life.
Tarot can play an important role in such cases because the ultimate aim of tarot is to bridge the gap between conscious mind and unconscious mind which is the repository of all repressed emotions and thoughts. In fact, this is how tarot works. It lays bare the emotional and behavioural patterns of a person making him aware of his true self and thus giving the reader an excellent tool to guide the seeker in the right direction towards a harmonious life. Many people who have worked with tarot or have had Tarot Counselling sessions have noticed a difference in the way they perceive life, people and situations around them.
The reason this happens is when you become aware of your own thought patterns, you develop an ability to positively modify yourself and therefore your destiny as well to quite an extent. Like Osho says, AWARENESS is the key to the locks of the unconscious mind. It is like switching on the lights in a dark room. This is exactly what tarot is – a guiding light in the dark.
