I seem to have inadvertently poked something sensitive with this question and I apologize; this was never my intent.
Actually, you created a WONDERFUL discussion topic that has everyone very engaged. This was a great question and a wonderful thread.
But Saskia has brought up a very important point: do you believe that you are destined to live out the future you see? I would find that very depressing to believe I was fated to actions that I may not want. Myself: I believe that the future is ours to create so all I can see in the cards is INFORMATION the querent may find useful. So if the cards say, watch for this or that, I take it as a WARNING not as gospel truth. And work with it accordingly.
When I was just a beginner, I read for someone who was thinking about trying to buy a house. I kept saying, "watch out for creative financing." The house buy (a friend of mine) called a few days later. The seller had tried to convince her to use his brother to give them a secondary loan to cover the part they could not get a mortgage for. So he could get the price HE wanted for his house. My friend started to laugh to herself saying, "Barb was right!" They did not buy that house.
I did NOT see that they would be stuck with a bad deal, they did not feel they were FORCED into a bad deal. But forewarned was forearmed and they were not swindled. THAT is what tarot is good for.
