Absolutely not! Individuals shape their own destiny through the choices they make and the decisions they take.

A person is not obligated to shape their life solely based on the answers they receive.
3. Does using Tarot cards or getting a Tarot reading bring negative energy?
There is no connection between negative energies and Tarot, nor does it induce negative emotional transitions. Through Tarot, individuals have the opportunity to get to know themselves better, observe events from an external perspective, enhance empathy, and experience spiritual healing/development. Therefore, Tarot cards do not bring negative energy; on the contrary, they offer a beneficial awakening.
4. Does the Death Card in Tarot signify actual death?
No, the Death card does not signify physical death. The Death card in Tarot indicates a period of change. This change could be related to one’s career, relationships, or even one’s own emotions and thoughts. In short, it represents the end of an existing emotion or situation and the beginning of a new phase. For example, a person might experience a career change, starting a new job after leaving a previous one, or making changes within their current position. The specific information conveyed depends on the other cards in the spread and the position of the Death card.
5. Do Tarot cards provide negative answers?
When Tarot cards come together, they form a story, and this story can be either positive or negative. This is because Tarot cards include cards that depict negative outcomes. However, receiving a negative response from the cards does not mean that everything in your life will be negative. In such situations, a Tarot reader continues to interpret the cards to provide insights into what can be done about the foreseen challenges and how to overcome any difficult situations that may arise.
6. Are the results of Tarot readings definite?
Tarot readings never provide one hundred percent certainty. Tarot is only about possibilities. The most accurate information is conveyed based on the energy present at the moment.
