If you are familiar with how tarot is read, you will know that each card has a message to it. Any specific card can actually be interpreted multiple ways, but if a person already has psychic ability and uses this as a tool, they can give further information by either validating what they already feel or recieving answers through a spread. Keep in mind that tarot reading should probably be done by professional psychics if you are seeking a high level of accuracy.....if you flip the cards and do a reading for yourself i would take it with a grain of salt.

Truth:
well, there is something called synchronicity. i believe Carl Jung brought this idea more to light or gave it more attention.
anyways, it's the idea that the universe has the answers for you, and things are connected in certain ways. like, you think about a friend you haven't heard from in 2 years, then you open up your email and there is a message from them. there is some underlying current of energy we are all riding and a part of. maybe coincidence, but why did you think about your friend that moment or that morning of all mornings? intuition, maybe.

there is also a branch of Astrology - traditional Astrology called Horary. it's based on the idea that the minute you think of a question, the stars have the answer to that question. it's not something you can ask a slew of questions about. it's 1 at a time (because the planets don't change every second. well, they do, but not where they would form different answers). so, the basis of this is - you thought of a question at that moment. so there must be an answer that moment as well. that's when you draw up a chart and find the answer to the question on your mind.

similar for Tarot. fine, it seems like the cards are coming at random. and maybe they are. but maybe your energy is focusing on the questions that are in synch with the cards that are about to come up. why did you think to ask that particular question first, second, third, etc? why did you ask - "how is his current relationship", before you asked - "how does he feel about me"? were you in tune with something that intuitively you knew the first cards laid would be positive. or negative. and the second round would be different?

all of this gets into some really deep spiritual stuff, in my opinion. but i like the Tarot. i think it helps frame situations really well. i've thought, at times, you can make almost any card to fit any situation. i think this is why certain spreads are helpful, and using each placement of the card is important. whether is past/present/future 3-card spread, a celtic-cross, or something more personal. 
also think this is why forming really concise questions is really important, esp if you aren't also using some sort of psychic gift. but i think the cards help to tap into energies you aren't necessarily seeing or wanting to see.

BellaLife:
Truth....pretty interesting stuff you just posted....this: you think about a friend you haven't heard from in 2 years, then you open up your email and there is a message from them.

I can't tell you how many times this has happened, not just with friends but with with people I do not see or have not seen in months.....and then poof there they are!

Truth:
yeah. here is a wikipedia page on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity

another good page:
http://www.carl-jung.net/synchronicity.html

i guess it's described a little differently there. but as i've studied Astrology and Tarot over the years i had the same questions and this is how it was explained to me. i also know that Jung practiced Astrology and knew about the Tarot in some way. at least symbolical meanings with the cards. 

Estrellita:
I've had some dejavu (spelled right/wrong?)  And let me tell you its weird!! 

Not that it's related, but would the ouija work the same way as tarot? Spirits coming through and answering questions when you ask.

Just wondering
