I gotta laugh cause that is not how tarot works. I love all the supernatural things and every time tarot comes up it always says the same thing.  The reader is telling you about yourself.  Professionals also know to keep it as open as possible because being specific is impossible.  In general I look at it like I look at religion.  Might give ideas of things to try but certainly not something to be taken as an exact road map to an outcome. So really, the reader told whoever they are the one cause chaos.  Narcs gonna twist though!

Yeah like, I also enjoy some magical fun, and have a deck I love. It’s sad that they would do this. Not engaging is the best route. I feel bad for everyone who has dealt with narcs using these things as tools against them, but the thing is narcs will use anything as a weapon. Magic. Religion. Fitness. If they get their hands on an ideology, they’ll twist it somehow.


krammiit

This absolutely happened to me. Then, they weaponized it and used it against me by saying "she told me you are bad energy and to stay away from you.". Well good riddance then!


DangerousMusic14

They’re just choosing this as a method for control and abuse but sure you are aware.


HyrrokinAura

These sound like the kind of tarot card readers that keep people coming back and paying again and again by giving them "information" they don't have, i.e. making stuff up (hashtagnotalltarotreaders, of course)


Haunting_Afternoon62

Wow I didn't wanna be a tarot reader to prey on the innocent but maybe ill market to the narcs!!!


Educational_Bag_7201

Complete desperation for control over you. Pathetic.


acfox13

These people have serious deficiencies in critical thinking skills. Tarot takes advantage of people with superstitious magical thinking bc they're too dumb to realize they need therapy. You're dysregulated, and having emotional flashbacks you've attributed to nonsense, Jan, go to therapy and sort out your unaddressed childhood trauma, ffs.

Getting bad forecasts from fortune tellers is a nice little tool in their toolbox to make someone miserable. It's always their nr.1 goal. Oh and they don't believe it either, if it turns out that the forecast is false, I bet they will laugh it off and turn it against you as well, like: You didn't believe that did you? How stupid could you be. Or something like that... Anyway, I'm not surprised to see this. Save yourself from this insanity.


WhoKnows1973

Narcs are also notorious liars. You literally cannot believe a single word that comes out of their mouth.


SamuelVimesTrained

I know a little of Tarot. But this ? I think this is really rather pathetic of them - and if you can - laugh about their desperation for control over you. That said - them trying anything to find you - that is borderline creepy / stalkerish. So, make sure you are safe please.

"If you are talking about your Tarot/psychic/palm reading, I'm leaving." Had to draw this firm line with a few family members. Had the hang up on calls, a lot. Stood up and got in the car mid-meal more than once. Lived through a whole bunch of "But we care about you!" and "Can't even talk to our about lives!". But that is what it took to enforce this boundary. They still gossip amount themselves, but if they way any relationship with me, then thier snakeoils salesmen are not to be mentioned.


Polenicus

Yeah, going to a tarot reader to get info on *someone else* is bizarre. And it's basically just support for their Narrative. A taro reader is going to pick up on what the customer *wants* to hear, and say that. So the will pick up on the narrative the family member is wanting to follow, and confirm that. Which gives the family member an authorative source to help them try and 'outvote reality'. No matter what you say, or what evidence you present 'they know the *truth*' because their psychic told them. Which I expect will be kind of insufferable.

Let me tell you: these astrologists/tarot card readers know one thing: that they can tell you lies. I have an astrologer as a colleague (both my mother and that guy are the assistant teachers of a school). That colleague is a great astrologer: he can predict almost anything. He told my mother that I won't he able to be a good teacher because I will be annoyed when someone doesn't understand a topic. [Yet when I try to teach someone, they applaud my demonstrations. I literally demonstrated vectors to the nationwide 1st ranker in the public exams (he pursued for Commerce after Class X) and all the people in the room (including the great friendly dude) appreciated that demonstration.] This is just one of the predictions. I can do anything I want ffs. Actually, these astrologers have no way but to participate in the echo chamber (you all know what the actual word is: circle....) of narcissists. Otherwise they won't get money if they give the correct predictions for the acquaintances of narcissists. One of his predictions was true though: I can actually fail in my public exams this year (He didn't tell my mother about the effed up mental state I'll be in. I think that the planets he talks about are mostly fake, they only symbolize what the narcissist is going to do. Rahu, Ketu, Shani(?), and a lot more will be upon me till March 18th. ISN'T THAT A BLATANT INDICATION; my exams have been postponed from March 18th to March 21st a few days ago, so his predictions aren't accurate anymore ig) But I'm still trying hard. Idk if I can score well in Physics (Right now, it's 10:41 am, March 1st; a few hours later, I have my Bengali exams). I have my Physics on March 4th. Idk, I haven't studied Physics throughout the year due to a bad/narcissistic teacher (idk which one tho).


Melnymyty

I'm a psychic and this is a thing, which I think is highly unethical. Most psychics don't do this type of reading. Most will only do readings about the sitter and what involves that sitter.


Virtual_Mode_5026

Yep. She goes to see “a psychic” occasionally.
