Both translations can be seen: the narrow foreknowledge ("occult power"? that's one interpretation to far!) and the wider sense of false knowledge.
But let's not forget this - the founding words of the tao are not in Lao Tzu but in the Yi-Ching, which precedes Lao Tseu by a thousand years or more. As Marion has pointed out - there are translations of the proto-taoist text (excluding the moralistic confucian overlay that came later). The Yi-ching was in all times used as divination, but by its greatest practitioners, not in a narrow "tell me what my husband will look like" kind of way - rather in setting a mode of life and conduct that is very close to what Lao Tzu was talking about. I actually prefer Chuang Tzu's short stories to Lao Tzu's beautiful but often cryptic poems - I find them more illustrative of the Tao way of life.
Jumptothemoonyea - I can't agree with you when you say that Tarot is not a world view, but a world viewer. It quite clearly is both: its makers were neoplatonic thinkers who embedded their thoughts on the progression of the soul in the Major Arcana (as in all their art of the time). Tarot is an illustration of that view, and that progression. Even in modern pagan decks, the 3X7 progression is apparent and an important element of the philosophy behind the decks. Those tarot decks that are linked to the Hebrew alphabet and the Tree of Life (e.g. Thoth) have equally embedded a philosophy, a mysticism - both of which also depend on progression.
In that sense it might be difficult to reconcile the Western view of progression, as exists in the Tarot, and the Chinese Taoist view of non-naming and quietly accepting.
I too was puzzled for a long time, because both ideas make sense to me - but how to live with them both? But then I read a wonderful book about a French woman in China, who became a great calligrapher under the direction of one of the last taoist calligraphy masters still on the mainland. And reading that book I realised taoism is nowhere near as passive as it has been reinterpreted in the West. A huge amount of hard work - a huge progression - goes into losing control, into tapping into the source without seeking to name or control it, that will create a perfect calligraphied letter (or a perfect cake, or a perfect sonnet or a perfect afternoon with the kids in the park). It is not ignorance, in that sense, but it is suspending of knowledge in action - and this is strange - in reflection and thinking too.
We are already closer to some notion of progression. Taoist masters put their disciples through rigorous and long training. Fabienne Verdier was made to do the same vertical line over and over for six months until she was able to draw it without her thinking brain interfering - until she reached the fruit.
The neoplatonic idea of progression of the soul suggests progression through the stages of virtue: temperance, strength, justice, wisdom (Plato had prudence/wisdom before justice). The way one incorporates these virtues in ourselves - which articulate the progression through the Tarot as well (with Wisdom being inherent to all and visible in the Anima Mundi of the World card) - can be "taoist" in the sense that by living a taoist way of life and working hard to let go and let the source direct us will lead to temperance, strength, justice and wisdom: only without the need to isolate and pint hem down specifically - rather, the taoist comes to embody these virtues in his life (the neoplatonist too, of course).
There were several schools of thought in neoplatonism - some very controlling and directive - obviously incompatible with the Tao - and some that privileged an idea close to letting go and to a more natural harmonious progression.
I am still struggling with these two systems myself and do not want - as Marion said - artificially to impose a fusion that does not exist: but for me, the notion of "taoist progression" works at this stage of my life.
