To me, the tarot is a tool, report and guide. The cards are a tool that lets us contact our spirit guide, younger self or whatever you may call it. The cards report to us information as to what past, present and future influences and events are affecting the task we are undertaking now. In doing so, they act as a guide to let us know where our weakness lies if things are not going well so that we may fix them.
Remember the future is not concrete. You may believe so, but if you do then you are constraining yourself and any progress you could make to change things will not happen.
