I have a strong goal in my mind of which to achieve, I have to get out my comfort zone and do new things actively.
Every once in a while I have consulted tarot to see wheter I reach my goal.
So far, all the outcomes have always been very positive.
In real life, I have also worked towards my goal actively doing the things that take me closer to what I want to achive.
For the last several weeks I haven't been able to actively do much considering "the goal." I have been busy with other things and also sick that has taken my energy levels down. Now when I consult the tarot, all the outcomes have been negative, basically telling "no, your goal won't happen."
This has been confusing.
Well, no it really isn't confusing.
Tarot shows you what is happening. As long as you are actively working towards your goal, the cards were telling you it was gong to happen. Sometimes if you actively work towards something it may not happen. In your case, the cards reflected a reality that at that stage, given what you were doing at that stage, things WERE going to work out for you.
When you stopped actively working towards it, the cards told you it wasn't going to happen. It is vary rare that something positive happens in your life if you don't work towards it, so the cards reflected the changed reality that unless you start working towards it again, there is little chance it will work out for you.
I think you were expecting Tarot to make your life happen. Tarot doesn't do that. Tarot just shows what is likely and probable if you don't change direction. So while you were still working towards your goals, Tarot showed the success that lay in front of you. When you stopped working towards your goals Tarot reflected your changed reality, and quite rightly gave you a warning that failure was likely in your future if you stayed on this path.
My day-job *is* being a public reader. I get a lot of people who rock up saying things like "do you read my mind" and "can you tell when people are going to die" and "can you tell everything in our futures". I tell them, and I'm telling you now:-
No.
It doesn't work like that.
The more effort you put into your life, the better the rewards you will get from life.
A reader I used to work with put it into these terms: "A Tarot reading is a snapshot, a photograph of how you and your future look like NOW. If you don't like it, make an effort to change it."
Another reader in the same venue (me, when I was a lot younger), used to say: "Having a Tarot reading is like jumping into a fast-flowing river. If you make no changes, you will be washed downstream. If you don't like what you see downstream, all you have to do is make a big effort to start swimming against the current."
Nowdays, I say to these people: Tarot shows you the trends in your life. It shows you your opportunities, and how to make the most of them and make sure you don't miss them. It shows you also the risks and pitfalls you face, and how to minimise the harm the will cause you, or avoid them altogether. But YOU are responsible for listening to the reading, and taking advice on what you need to do to improve your life."
Several years ago I had a client. I don't remember the original reading, but apparently I turned up the Chariot card in the health area of his spread and pulled a timing card, and told him "in about seven months, you are likely to have an accident in your car. Be careful about driving, and cars in general." He poo-pooed what I said (his wife had insisted on him having the reading, and he really didn't believe anything I told him). But he made an effort to look me up a year later and every year since, because seven months to the day after that reading, he was talking to his friend. His friend was sitting in the car, and he was standing near it, chatting. Standing too near it, as it happens, and when his friend drove away he drove over both his feet, breaking many bones. He immediately remembered the reading, and thought I was a brilliant reader. I really wasn't. If I had been a better reader, I would have pointed out to him that he needed to be careful. A better reader would have had him being cautious about cars, and NOT standing so close to them that they would roll over both his feet! A better reader would have got him to prevent the accident happening at all. It was down to him whether he got injured or not, and as a reader I failed him. Nonetheless, after that, he always comes to me in July or August for his "annual checkup reading", and recommends me to everyone.
It wasn't set in stone that he was going to be injured by a car in that time-frame! If he had remembered the reading and been extra-careful, his outcomes would have been much better, and he probably wouldn't have been injured.
And the same with you. Tarot showed you a positive future while you were working to make it positive, and when you stopped putting effort in, it showed you what would happen because you stopped putting effort in.
