If we trust our intuition enough; if we can set aside the very linear thinking that makes time seems real to us, then the image on the tarot card can provide the information we seek (from the apparent past or the apparent future).
The cards do not “know” anything. They reflect the energetic pattern of the present moment. This reflection can reveal potential outcomes because they mirror the current state and therefore its trajectory.
When we draw a card, we are accessing a symbolic snapshot of this moment’s potential. The card reflects the past that led to now; the present energy field; the future paths unfolding from this moment.
Each card communicates an energetic archetype and many symbolic pieces of information that may be active in your life and that your subconscious understands. Because tarot reflects our energetic state, it can offer guidance by showing us what me may not be consciously aware of such as patterns, blocks, and opportunities.
The advice is not external; it arises from our own subconscious, mirrored in the cards. Tarot is a mirror of the soul and a map of potential. It does not dictate our destiny; it reveals the energetic landscape we are navigating. By engaging with it consciously, we become a co-creator of our life, aligning our choices with the deeper currents of our life.
