The Power of Prediction
Everyone makes predictions, not just tarot readers! This week, we discuss the value of prognostication.
Concept illustration of a crystal ball.
Most people believe that tarot reading and psychic work are always about predicting the future, and they are surprised to learn that not every reader and not every reading is predictive.
Looking toward the future is something we naturally do. Everyone makes future predictions at some point, in some way. Doctors predict our health. Meteorologists help us plan our activities. Economic forecasters help us plan our finances. Trend spotters help us curate our wardrobes for the next fashion season.
Clearly, predictions are not always mystical.
We look to the future for hope, planning, and preparation. Yet quantum physics tells us that the minute we look at something, we change it.
Does divining the future change the future?
I think it does, but only in the most positive ways.
I recently led workshops on prediction in divination in my StaarCon 2024 AfterGlow Lounge, and we have had some very interesting conversations.
We discussed the questions we ask tarot that feel predictive but are not. These questions we ask about our future are within our control.
Here’s the difference.
“Will my house sell soon?” is about something out of our control. When we ask that question, we assume everything we can do to help the house sell has already been done, and we want to know what potential buyers will do.
By contrast, “Will I finish my project by the deadline?” is something that is within our control. When we ask a question like this, we are looking for guidance to help us succeed.
One thing tarot readers quickly learn is how much of the future is within our control.
Yet, there is also much that we don’t control.
I believe that wise predictions, even when they don’t offer what we had hoped for, can help us create the best future possible. Knowledge is power. If we are aware of something, we can prepare, mitigate, and perhaps take steps to avoid it.
Predictions can make us feel hopeless. Or, when we use them correctly, predictions can always give us the power to meet the future with hope, no matter what.
It’s easy to fear the future, with or without forecasting. Yet, when we trust ourselves to handle whatever happens, we can also trust that our future is worth planning for. Then, we can have faith that good things are always on their way.

StaarCon 5
For the past two years, StaarCon has offered a sound bath experience. StaarCon 5 will be no different.
We are excited to welcome Sound Cascade to StaarCon 5. Sound Cascade is Alisa Picerno and Alan Giana. They will offer a Sunday morning session entitled, “Soothing Sounds to Heal Your Soul.”
At StaarCon, we are committed to offering the best and most exciting opportunities to learn, heal, grow, and experience all our community has to offer. We are very happy that Sound Cascade will be part of that offering in 2025.

Three Ways to Make Predictions with Tarot
Not every tarot reader makes future predictions. If you want to use tarot to forecast the future for yourself or someone else, you can do it in a few ways.
You can use a tarot spread that has predictive positions. Any spread with a position for ‘future’ or ‘final outcome’ will have a prediction built in. Interpret the cards that fall into those positions as possibilities for the future.
You can think about a question for the future and pull cards to answer that question. While some readers are uncomfortable with yes/no questions, many of us use techniques to answer binary predictive questions effectively.
A third way to predict the future with tarot is to ask what might happen and pull a few cards. Interpret the cards you pull to inform you about possible future events.
Obviously, never use the cards to scare anyone. If difficult cards appear to describe future events, ask questions and pull more cards to help you understand and mitigate any upcoming problems.

Liz Worth shared some timeless wisdom about predictive tarot readings a few years ago.

Making Magic
The goal of magic is often to influence future events. The worry when we do this is that our magic might have unintended consequences. For example, imagine performing magic to bring quick money and having that money come as compensation for a devastating accident.
The late great Donald Michael Kraig often suggested that we should do a divination about our magical intention to make sure our plan is wise.
We feel called to influence future events when we are trying to avoid a problem or when we are trying to achieve a goal. We might use magic to help along a positive prediction or mitigate a negative one.
Whatever tools we use in magic, the most important tool is our visualization of the future we want to create. The more clearly we can hold that vision, the more likely we are to be successful.
This is one of the reasons that I love tarot magic. Because tarot is visual, it helps us create and successfully hold our vision.

Golden Moments
This week, we discuss the special moments that bring us healing, inspiration, and joy.
A happy woman with colorful balloons.
We are often urged to consciously make memories with friends and family by traveling and planning special events. So often, it feels like the measure of the success of these events is how good the resulting pictures look on Instagram rather than how much fun we had.
At the same time, we all have special memories of spontaneous moments with loved ones that were neither orchestrated nor expensive.
When times are hard, we might experience momentary respites when we find humor, fun, or inspiration that surprises us.
Whether planned or unplanned, we all treasure the moments that leave us with good feelings and good memories. We sometimes forget how important and healing these moments are and how often they can pop up, even amid difficulty.
When we are young, we envision our grown-up lives full of joy, productivity, and inspiration. What we discover is that adulting can contain a lot of drudgery, some misery, boredom, and fear.
It is often not until we have been adulting for a while that we understand the power and meaning of those joyful moments. Perhaps their fleeting nature is part of what makes them so powerful.
When we realize that even in the deepest darkness, we can find moments of light, we learn to look for those opportunities. We find they appear more often when we look for them.
Adulting isn’t easy, and life is challenging by nature. Yet, for all of us, those golden moments of fun, joy, and connection allow us hope, happiness, and gratitude.

Finding Joy with Tarot
The Ace of Cups is my favorite card for heart-healing. I sometimes hold this card to my heart chakra and breathe its energy into my heart center. This sort of tarot magic can be quick and helpful.
In readings, we can ask questions that help us process the things that hurt and worry us. This allows us space to find the joy available to us.
When we spend time with our tarot friends, we find the joy of connecting with those who speak our language.

In honor of the late Rachel Pollack’s birthday, Mary Ellen Collins did a reading using Rachel’s Shining Tribe tarot deck and shared it on her blog. Very insightful!
The Guardian shared this interesting article about the problems we tarot readers face with online impersonators, and a possible solution.
We knew this was true. Yet, it is interesting to see a press release confirming the rise of tarot accessibility and acceptability.

Making Magic
Last week, we discussed the grounding and healing that can come from working with the first three chakras.
This week, let’s focus on the heart chakra.
When we breathe into our hearts, we make room for our feelings.
When we exhale from our hearts, we release our pain.
When we focus on expanding our heart center, we make room for the joy that is healing and motivating.
Green stones, rose quartz and rose oil can support the heart chakra. Lavender is also supportive of heart healing.
When we work on healing our hearts, we make ourselves available for joyful moments.

People-Pleasing Isn’t Pleasant
Many of us are people-pleasers. This week we talk about what people-pleasing is, and how to heal.
A man overwhelmed by demands.
We often describe people-pleasers as those who prioritize the needs of others over their own to their own detriment.
I do not think this is an accurate description of people-pleasing because there are many times when it is appropriate to make the needs of others more important than our own, even when that incurs risk. Parents, soldiers, and first responders regularly sacrifice themselves for others because it is part of the job.
People-pleasers will often think of themselves as kind and generous and may indeed be so. Yet, people-pleasing is not helpful to anyone in the long run.
I believe that people-pleasing is very often borne of trauma. People who need to do for others constantly may be driven to prove their worth to themselves and others. People-pleasers may not have felt unconditionally loved as children, so they must do whatever it takes to get love and approval. People-pleasers may not have learned to have boundaries and say no, and thus are always at the mercy of the whims of others.
It is uncomfortable for people-pleasers to change their habits, but it is also very healing.
The first important step is to understand that when we do for others in a people-pleasing way, we aren’t being genuine and authentic. We often resent and wish we were not compelled to do all we are doing. When we go overboard doing for others, we are not trying to please anyone; we are trying to fill an empty place within ourselves or trying to avoid our own responsibility to heal by helping others instead.
When we do too much for others, we place an unfair burden on those we think we are pleasing. The only people who will be pleased by our ministrations are those who are empty inside and hoping to be filled by our attention.
We often try to please others because we feel guilty when we focus on our own needs.
It is easy to see how these behaviors and thought patterns might develop in certain family systems. When we look past the behaviors and find the wounds from which they spring, we have the opportunity to heal and to create healthy and mutually beneficial relationships.

A Two-Card Relationship Spread
Here is a simple two-card spread to help see whether we can help each other appropriately and whether a relationship is balanced.
Focus on any relationship. The first question is, “What does this person need from me right now?”
When you pull the card and interpret it, give some thought to whether this need feels reasonable and whether you want to be available to fill this need.
The second question is, “What do I need from this person?” When you pull and interpret this card, consider what you know about the history of the relationship and this person’s proven ability to fill this need.
Look at the two cards and see how they work together. How does that reflect the energy of this relationship?

From Around the Web
I was interested to find this in-depth article about cultural and literary references to tarot.
I truly dislike seeing misunderstandings of divination in popular film and television. I was happy to see this article from People magazine about what the movie Tarot got wrong about tarot and astrology.
Emerald Lotus has a tarot spread to help us stop people-pleasing.
The seven chakras are shown on a woman at the beach.
Making Magic
People-pleasing is essentially a self-esteem and self-worth issue.
There are many magical ways to help bolster our self-esteem and understand our value. One of the simplest is to work with the first three chakras.
The first chakra, often called the root or base chakra, deals with our most essential connection to earth. This is where we recognize our right to be where we are and that we deserve and can find the resources we need.
The second chakra, or sacral chakra, is where we are connected to family. It is generally our family that inadvertently trains us to become people-pleasers. Here, we can understand and heal family traumas and learn to feel safe with trusted people.
The third chakra, or solar plexus, is the seat of our will. When we are constantly motivated by the will of others, it is hard for us to know our own will. When we can acknowledge our goals and desires and feel confident to pursue them, we act from a place of self-esteem and self-worth.
There are many ways to support, heal, and strengthen the chakras. A simple daily meditation to bring energy and awareness to your first three chakras will help you quell people-pleasing tendencies and encourage your personal strength and determination.

Reframing Guilt
Guilt and regret are not the same thing!
A lawyer with a gavel at her desk, looking unsure.
In criminal law, a person can be found guilty or innocent of crimes. In our own minds, we are constantly trying ourselves for crimes, real and imagined, and always finding ourselves guilty.
I learned to believe that guilt is a necessary emotion that provides guardrails to keep people from doing bad things.
As I deconstruct many of the things I learned in childhood, I now believe that guilt outside the courtroom is useless, irrelevant, and harmful. We do not avoid doing bad things because we fear guilt. We avoid doing bad things because we generally don’t want to do bad things.
As children, we were trained to feel guilty when we did something different than the adults wanted. Guilt became a weapon that others could use to control us and that we used to justify feeling bad about ourselves.
The truth is this. People who do bad things never feel guilty, and people who feel guilty usually haven’t done bad things.
We all make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes hurt others. When that happens, we feel a great deal of regret, and we work to make amends. But guilt and regret are not the same thing.
When we do not have the energy, time, or ability to help someone in need, we may experience feelings of guilt. What we are truly feeling is, once again, regret. We regret that we are unable to help.
When we reframe guilt as regret, we can relieve ourselves of negative feelings and do what is needed to help others in difficult times. When we refuse to allow others to use guilt to control us, we heal from unhealthy relationships.

Cards for Guilt and Closure
Which tarot cards can indicate feelings of guilt? The High Priestess reversed is the first that comes to my mind, quickly followed by the Seven of Swords. The Three of Swords, Eight of Swords, and Nine of Swords could all indicate the self-torment of guilty feelings.
For me, the card that most clearly speaks of closure and the healing that comes from it is Judgement.
When you see these cards in a reading, you might discover you are dealing with feelings of guilt.

StaarCon 2024 headliner Benebell Wen is an interesting blogger because she goes deep but is also culturally current. You can see this clearly in her most recent blog post comparing trad wives and girl bosses with the Eight and Nine of Swords as she draws her Ettiella deck.
Mercury is now in retrograde! Cosmopolitan has the rundown on what that could mean for you.

Making Magic
When we need to reframe our feelings, water magic can work wonders.
We can wash away feelings of guilt in the shower and when we wash our hands.
A visit to the beach can become a cleansing ritual.
In its simplest form, water magic requires us to focus on what we wish to be rid of and visualize the water washing it away.
We can enhance this with special soaps, candles, incense, and prayers.
