I would like to know how many children i am likely to have. Some people i have heard of have been told this by tarot readers. What i don't understand is how would you get this type of info from the tarot. could it be that the reader would have to be pyscic or maybe the ones that give out info like this are just making it up?

Most likely the readers were psychic... or lucky... or simply putting on a good show and saying whatever came off the top of their head when they looked at the cards. Laurel

My guess would be that if they pulled a card (or the querent did) and it had a number on it, that would be how they did it. Or made a guess based on the Major they drew. I don't know how you'd do that. But it would seem like it would be a self-fufilling prophecy subconsciously for the querent. A palm reader told me I'd have four kids and I did------the fourth wasn't planned and was conceived on April Fool's day. LOL But ultimately she was wrong because I'm now raising numbers five and six, even though I didn't give actual birth to them----they're grandkids I've had since they were newborn.

If they were doing it by going with the number on the card, it would be a real bummer if they pulled a high pip like a ten or, even worse, the world - 21!!!!!!!!!!! Apart from that I agree with Laurel and Teal, but on the whole it sounds like a bit of hogwash to me, sorry. NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FUTURE, as the smallest change of mind can change EVERYTHING, should be the motto carved above every oracles door, or forehead. Having children is really a matter of commonsense and logistics - can you both have children, yes? then how many do you want? that should be your most likely amount. If you put a number on only having one child and you hated the experience or were satisfied completely, that would be a self fulfilling prophecy. If you put a number on only having one child and then found you wanted more, then that would blow the prophecy out the window... by nothing more than a change of mind. Just my opinion ;) allibee
