Meteorologists, doctors, stockbrokers and tarot readers are in the same line of activity. Predicting. And is the prediction more often wrong that they are right can be a tricky question.

Similarly, tarot readers take the known facts from what the clients tell them about their concerns and then inspect the patterns, influences and trends that appear in the tarot card spread and make extrapolations about the hereafter based on the gathered data.
Although every tarot reader struggles with how far and to what extent they are trying to predict and how detailed they are trying to be.
Straight-arrow fortune telling rarely works nowadays because of the negative associations with scams and frauds. Back in the era of the Roman Empire, there was a law forbidding anything to consult a forecaster or soothsayer. The olden civilization were suspicious of citizen who practiced forecasting. The stigma still is present in this period.
A forecast or prediction simply gives the querent or the client added facts of what is to come in the future. At the end of the day, it is their free will and how they write back to it that matters.
Being aware of the hereafter events can be empowering because it will confirm the knowledge that they are on the right path or if it is something negative gives them a warning to avoid inherent bad situation.
It can be useful for the tarot reader to match his/her chosen tarot card spreads that complements his reading style and religious doctrine about predicting the future.
