When multiple readers are wrong

[tarotbear]

Perhaps, then - based on other's comments - you need to stop asking 'predictive questions' {Who will win Superbowl 50?} and stick to the tried-and-true Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How -type questions. Sometimes it takes re-learning how to ask your questions.

NOT: Does he love me?
BUT: What can I do to be more attractive to someone?

NOT: Will I win the lottery?
BUT: What steps can I take to insure my finances will grow?

NOT: Will I get a new car this year?
BUT: How can I get more reliable transportation?

WHO can help me achieve this goal?
WHAT can I expect if I do such-and-such an action?
WHERE is the best college for me to continue my studies?
WHEN is the best time for me to .... ?
WHY should I do this at this time?
HOW do I affect the changes I need?

Right I'll keep that in mind for the future. but I'm still curious about other people's experiences this really isn't about how many times I get inaccurate predictions from multiple readers. it's more how many times others have as well

Although do you believe the questions how you phrases it are more likely to yield accurate predictions? I ask multiple readers the same question mainly because I just want reassurance that the first reader was right before I get all excited about a predicted outcome

The readers give you a possible outcome/result at the time of the reading. As soon as you go out the door your choices and actions then effect that outcome or possibility.

For example, several readers could all say you're going to meet prince charming and get married to him, but if you then stay at home and don't socialise at all, you're never going to be in the position to meet him, let alone marry him.

Tarot can give you possibilities, but these are far from set in stone.

Also, you could be given an answer you don't like the sound of. You then have the chance to change things to make sure this doesn't happen. Is tarot then wrong because the outcome hasn't happened? Or was tarot right, and enabled you to get out of that situation before the bad thing happened?

Tbh i hear "not set in stone a lot because actions can change the outcome, etc etc" but how can one account for the accurate readings? I've gotten many accurate readings in the past and I didn't proceed to live in a vacuum after each reading just so I could make sure the prediction manifested. I went about my business and did whatever I wanted and things still happened as predicted. One can argue Some readers are simply more gifted than others. Or got lucky. Or maybe somethings are just fated and somethings we can influence so the outcome is more mailable. But that is a different subject in itself.

I feel like I'm not being very clear since some of the answers seem to be in support of tarot but I'm not asking anyone to prove or disprove tarot. I simply wanted to know if others have gotten predictions that were given by multiple readings just for the opposite to happen and if so what was the nature and subject of the reading

"Synchronicity"

First you doubt inaccurate readings - and now you doubt accurate readings? IMHO - Tarot is not for you.

Yes, it happened to me many times, that multiple readers got the outcome wrong...my explanation is that tarot simply cannot foretell the future. I opened a thread About it at the time.

Yes I read your thread and found it brilliant I hope others won't turn this into a discussion about if tarot works or not though because that's not what the question was about but I feel that is the direction this is going. I'm simply wanting to hear others experiences

Well, it is inevitable, in a way...anyway, my answer is that tarot is a brilliant tool for analyses of current energies and influences, but not a predictive tool.

Have you ever had a reading where multiple readers told you a certain outcome would happen just for the opposite to manifest? If so then what was the subject ( relationship, career, finance, etc) of the reading and what was the nature ( predictive or trying to tap into someone's emotional status)?

I ask because I'm trying to see if there is a certain topic that tarot is better at reading and im curious which topics predictions are more likely to be agreed upon by multiple readers simply to turn out inaccurately.

Some say you shouldn't ask the same question to different readers so if you feel that way, I respect that but this question isn't directed at you. This is for people who think it's ok to ask multiple readers the same question. Note there is a difference between asking multiple readers versus asking the same question over and over to one reader just because you don't like the answer. I tend to ask multiple readers the same question when I get the answer I want just because it reassures me that maybe the first reader was right. If I get an answer that I don't like, I tend to drop it and move onto something else

There is still a flaw in your thinking about asking multiple readers the same question, even if it is just for your reassurance. It implies that you don't trust any answer that you get by cross-checking the answers, which could surely have an effect on the accuracy. As a sitter, it is your responsibility to seek out the reader best qualified (in a sense) to answer your type of question best (or best spread, or best cards if you are reading for yourself). You should not compare the answers of someone who may be more gifted at healing advice, to someone who is more accustomed to answering predictive questions, for example. That is like telling the universe you want it to mop your floors, and on the one hand you give it a cigarette, while on the other, you give it a mop. Not all readers are equipped to answer predictive questions, and you shouldn't hand them a cigarette and tell them to mop your floors, so to speak.

As to why multiple readers may be wrong, there are many reasons. Human error is most likely in my opinion. It is SO much easier to be wrong than it is to be right. People may think it is a 50/50 chance, but really, for a person especially not accustomed to predictive readings, that turns into something more like 70/30 or 80/20 with 30 or 20 percent being the smaller target area they need to hit for accuracy.

Finances and Work are probably the toughest to not only make predictions, but get general present vibes on.

Love/relationships and Problems in general are probably easiest to read or make predictions on. (I think so, anyway.)

At times I really think you are right
