Is destiny or fate really a thing, and can tarot cards actually see it coming? Do we get to have a say in how our life plays out, or are we merely players in a grand, scripted play?

Fate and destiny are actually pretty different. Fate is like that set path we can’t really do anything about—it’s all about events that are already decided for us and outside our control. On the flip side, destiny is that dreamy part because it’s all about the outcomes that happen based on the choices we make. Fate kind of pushes us toward certain experiences like there’s some higher power pulling the strings, but destiny is where we get to grow and chase after our dreams. It shows that there’s a mix between what happens to us and what we can make happen ourselves.

Many have claimed fascination with this topic over the years, leading to endless debates among philosophers, scientists, and spiritual enthusiasts. Some assert that our lives are preordained, influenced by unseen forces that dictate our choices and experiences. However, one might question the validity of practices like tarot, which is often touted as a tool for divination; can it truly unveil the paths and options before us, or is it merely a guise for random chance?

When consulting the cards we can get a better grip on where we are right now and what might happen with our decisions. But it also raises the question about how our free will plays into all this and whether destiny is really set in stone. So, it makes you wonder if tarot is just a reflection of what’s going on inside us or if it truly gives us a direction towards our fate and destiny.

Actually, it’s the crossroads we hit, where we have to choose a path, that really shape our destiny or fate, and that’s where tarot helps, right? When we’re stuck at these crucial moments, it can feel both thrilling and scary, making us think hard about what’s coming next. Will one path lead to amazing happiness while the other throws us into unexpected struggles? The uncertainty of these decisions makes tarot a safe counsel, showing us the tricky balance between our own choices and the bigger picture of the universe guiding our journeys. So yes, tarot can give us insights and have an influence on the choices we make but it’s us who finally decides our fate by the actions we take.

Looking back at some of those crossroads in my life, it’s strange to think I could be in a totally different spot today, maybe living a life shaped by choices I didn’t make or paths I just passed by. Not sure if it’s destiny or what, but sometimes fate places you at those crossroads, making you face choices that are uncomfortable, and you just had to roll with them, celebrating the wins and dealing with the regrets.

I can only speak from my experiences but destiny is the wonderment that fate forced upon me to grow, and tarot was the helpful guidance that helped me see my situation more clearly, gently nudging me, but I chose for myself. That’s what free will is all about, right?

I’ll share a tarot reading I had long ago that really stood out. The reader gave me the clarity and reassurance I needed, saying I would achieve my goals if I was patient and put in effort. I wanted to trust her, and I eventually did get what I wanted, though it came in an unexpected way. Over the years, I realised I had changed and was not the same person from that reading. I learned from my choices, leading me to places I didn’t expect, just as the reader had foreseen. It was a mix of fate, tarot, free will, and hard work that shaped my destiny, but I question if it was always mine to claim.

Talking about free will and destiny is interesting, right? It gets you thinking about the choices we make and if our future is already set in stone because every decision can take you down a totally different road. But you’ve gotta ask yourselves: how much of our freedom is actually ours, and how much is just fate pulling the strings?

Many people believe that tarot can give us a glimpse into our fate, and honestly, it’s a comforting thought when you are seeking answers, but just maybe, those cards are just reflections of our wishes and desires, nudging us toward something better. In the end, though, while they can share some thoughts, it’s totally our own decisions that really carve out our journey, right? Don’t forget that, okay!

Oh, you’re curious to know what cards the reader drew for me! Back then, I wasn’t very into tarot, but I distinctly remember the Swords card appearing, especially the Three of Swords. While it initially brought a bit of anxiety, the last card in the Celtic Cross spread truly lifted my spirits—it was the Emperor! ✨
