Except it (rather) does not. It is helpful to have a concept of transderivational search [0] handy when thinking about interactions between mind and world external to body/mind. When you draw cards in tarot you search for meanings inside mind and you find them (meanings) fit so well, that you think that Universe chose those cards (events, etc.) for you. We are weavers of meaning.

Usage of 'Tarot' in the way presented is rather benign and creative.
