I actually asked my brother if he noticed anything about tarot at all online or off-line, he just looked at me like I was weirder then usual.
My local new-age shop stopped selling tarot decks and ONLY see Doreen Virtue decks.
Swedish e-bay is on a good day listing maybe 10 tarot decks (of which 8 are RWS) and like 15 Virtue oracles.

I would say there is a decline in tarot interest at least where I live.
I ONLY see tarot topics on my friends blogs, here and a few groups on Facebook. There used to be a lot more activity a few years back with e-mail lists, several large forums, Livejournal, you name it...
