Tarot cards can only predict a person's future to the extent that people make things happen because of their mindset. As a self-taught amateur reader, I always caution the questioner, "I won't be able to tell you about objective, inevitable truth, only what will happen if you keep thinking the way you do now". That's mighty powerful stuff nevertheless. Depending on the questioner's openness and the reader's insight, the revelations can range from ho-hum to deeply moving. I've seen all sorts of secrets come to the surface, and tears often spring when I present the story.
But how does it work? How can a sane, intelligent person give any credence at all to this stuff? I think of tarot the same way I think of time-tested gems of philosophy, poetry, psychology and mythology. It's steeped in ancient wisdom. The cards depict an incredibly rich and intricate view of who we are and how we interact and progress through life. When the questioner shuffles the classic order of the cards, he/she is transferring his/her state of the mind to the universal canvas. The more passionate and specific the question, and the more trusting the questioner, the more the reader will be able to divine from the spread.
At the very least, the cards provide an entertaining framework for discussing issues. At best, they spark inspired reflection.
