Tarot doesn’t predict the future—your brain does. One of the brain’s main functions is to use its vast life experiences to predict what might happen next. For example, when you see a chair and decide to sit in it, your brain makes countless micro predictions to ensure it’s safe (the chair won’t break, it’s clean, etc.). We’re not aware of these tiny decisions, but they’re happening.
That gut feeling of “this feels right but I can’t explain why” is intuition. It’s your brain tapping into all your stored memories, which your conscious mind can’t fully access. Tarot cards don’t predict anything by themselves, but they can help your intuition tap into that stored data, acting like a creative prompt.
So, while I believe tarot aids in divination and predicting the future, the cards are just tools. The real magic happens in your brain.
