When it comes to Tarot Reading most people still see it as Fortune Telling where your future is determined by "the energy" and "the fates." I view Tarot Reading in the light of Fortune Casting in which we learn the lessons presented to us by the Tarot Cards and then proactively take that information and use it to build a better future for ourselves.
To me it's all about free will and self improvement. We don't have to tolerate a negative outcome. Instead we can work to build a more positive one.
