Reminds me. Few months ago a friend was wrestling with one of those big life changing decisions everyone faces sometime or the other. He spent a whole lot of time meticulously analysing pros and cons, but just couldn't decide one way or another. Then one day he does this "remote" tarot card reading session (facepalm) and bam! Decision made. I was shocked. Don't know how many times I had to then hear, "...but dude just look at what the tarot card said". Psycologists really need to figure out how this "magic" works and how we can use it more effectively.

You don't even need tarot for such a case usually. Just promise yourself you are going to do what it decides and flip a coin. As soon as the coin falls and demands you to go particular way you will feel either joy or sorrow about the fact it has fallen this way and you are to obey. This will make it clear what do you actually want. Now you can forget about the promise and go the way you know you want now. It also doesn't take to be particularly irrational magically-oriented mind to make use of some astrology, numerology, tarot or whatever of this kind occasionally - trying these and getting some shockingly precise data about yourself and predictions about events in your life is enough for a mind that is predominantly pragmatic although rational).

One thing that is often missed about tarot is that it is not about reading the meanings of the cards in the void, it is an interpretative and reflective practice. The reading will at least push the client to fit the meanings to his problem leading to a slightly different point of view on his situation and having him considering its potential outcomes. And that's the minimum, great readers can get you to consider the emotions behind your choices and explore options you did not consider.
