The tarot shows you what lies beneath the surface of situations and what's really going on with those shadowy realms beyond your ordinary range of vision. It lets you gaze into the future and see what's likely to happen. It shines light on murky matters - including your own subconscious motivations. It gives you a broader perspective so you can make better decisions. In short, it's your magic mirror, your wise counsellor, a scout who goes ahead to check out the lay of the land, and your brutally honest best friend.
