Im addicted to tarot. I started doing tarot readings when I was 18 and it was very accurate predicated a lot of things that came true. Not only in my life but my friends and family because of this I became so dependent on tarot. I would do readings daily, about everything and anything I couldnāt make a move without consulting my cards. It would tell me exactly how a person feels about me and it was very accurate. I canāt even express how creeply accurate it was. As time went on I realized that it was extremely unhealthy. If I got into a fight with my partner I would instantly go to my cards. I valued my cards opinions over my partners. It became manipulative I would see the outcome of all the different possibilities I could take and then act out on it. Everything became calculated. It got to the point where I would do readings all day long about all these possibilities.
Iāve gotten rid of my tarot cards and Iām extremely happier. Iām way closer to Jesus than I was before, Iām at peace, abundant, I make decisions that are best for me and not the best āoutcomeā and Iāve seen a lot of positive changes in my life.
But now that Iāve started dating someone new of 4 months. the addiction has started again. I look at tarot posts day and night, I wait for new post to come to fuel this feeling. Itās ruining my relationship because I donāt trust my partner, yes some things are questionable that he does but Iām not sure if itās because I truly feel this way or itās because Iāve seen one to many readings that he might be cheating, have other options and them telling me Iām ignoring the red flags. I feel absolutely crazy. I delete the apps and after a few hours I download them back and see what they state and every time I see a positive reading itās a hit of relaxation but if itās negative Iām filled with anxiety and rage. I know these readings are just general and on a deeper level I know they probably donāt even apply to me at all but I canāt stop. Please help.
I loved learning about Taoism and Iām gonn take this as a sign to get back to it. Thanks :)
No youāre completely right and I take no judgement in what you say. I think I need to focus on developing hobbies I find interesting.
I notice that my intuition is stronger when I believe in myself and apply Jesus word into my life. The day I stopped doing tarot. I noticed all the things I was manifesting started coming in immediately it was shocking. Tarot weakens me. Itās a safe place for my anxieties, fears, doubts and Iām done with it. Thanks for all your responses and help
Thank you for sharing your experience. Itās very helpful to me as a feel many of the same things. š
Awe thank you a lot š„ŗš. Youāre right. I need to be stronger than my fears and anxieties
Thank you Iāll try my best! and yeah I donāt think I can do anymore tarot readings. š it will just suck me back into the endless what ifs.
How did you get over it ššš and thank youš„ŗ
I communicate with him lots. But itās not enough, I always think what if heās hidden something or not being transparent. I genuinely need to work on my trust issues and therapy is something I plan to start as well but i know therapy wonāt work unless I get rid of my limiting habits. Like tarot. Thatās why Iām hoping to get advise to help me overcome it. I think the hobbies thing is something I need to focus more on. Do anything expect tarot
Hi thank you for your input! Iām curious why you think Jesus is the source of my worry? Iāve never thought of that before. I always thought it was the opposite. Jesus teaches me that all things are okay, life is a journey and his teaches help me develop my character and strength. Ive notice when I apply his teachings into my life. The things I desire and manifest come to me rapidly. Iām my happiest when Iām focused on Jesus way of living.
Yes youāre right. I do have a worry about being certain but itās deeper it stems from pain, Iām scared of feeling deeply hurt again, and I try to be certain to avoid that pain. I think thatās why I love Jesus. He teaches me that life is uncertain and thatās the beauty of it. I will be hurt again but it is okay, the hurt was never my fault or my cross to bear but even though it might come, he has made me stronger than the hurt.
my partner is a little closed off emotionally. Heās not very expressive and he has voiced thatās who he is and his kids express his level of monotonous personality. Heās not a bad guy. He has a good heart and he tries. Iām just not used to that kind of person but Iām learning to be flexible.
But then Iāll go online and see readings saying. Donāt trust him. Heās being sneaky, heās hiding the truth and I get so anxious if it applies to me. Iāll try to ignore it and Iāll see another post saying youāre ignoring your intuition. The red flags are in front of you and I start to panic and Iāll be inquisitive and confront him and he will tell me Iām obsessed with catching him lying and act more distant which makes me feel even crazier. If it wasnāt for tarot I wouldnāt have this aggravating fear.
Thank you. Iām going to turn off my phone for 24 hours and just process my thoughts without forcing or judging myself. I want to live in the moment. I just struggle to do so :(
I know. Youāre 100% right. I donāt want to participate in tarot because Iām aware of the damage itās doing. Iām aware of my life being better without it. I feel more level headed. Capable and trusting. But Iām addicted. Iām struggling to turn away from it. Hence why I needed help :/
Thank you so much! Youāre 100% right. I would love to check out your work
If Iām being honest idk what youāre talking about. I donāt think it really makes sense. Itās cool and interesting thatās your belief and I hope it prospers you. But on a personal level I disagree. I canāt speak for everyone but I can speak for myself.
You say Jesus only gives you little and itās yourself that gives you all but thatās just not true in my life. I usually try to do things on my own. Using divination, tarot, astrology and Iāve noticed the only thing it did was make me desperate and anxious af.
I was struggling to find a job for 4 months and eventually I was like just pray about it. Take it to Jesus and literally the next day I got 12 job interviews. Lmfao like 12 jobs contacted me in one day? All because I prayed for Jesus to help me? Thatās the only thing I did differently From getting 0 call backs to 12. Itās a drastic change you canāt overlook.
I was going to get expellled from nursing school for something I didnāt do, I appealed, I wrote thousands of emails. I genuinely thought I would get expelled. The last day aug 18th Iāll never forget that day. They let me know theyāre just waiting for the nurse to sign the paperwork and Iām kicked out. I got on my knees and I prayed, I begged God to help me from the bottom of my soul and I finally slept after 48 hours. I kid you not. 1 hour after I prayed. She emailed saying she changed her and she doesnāt want to sign it. AFTER A WHOLE MONTH OF FIGHTING FOR MYSELF. I submit to God and he changes my life. Why she changed her mind randomly on the last hour. Who knows but I know it was God
This is just two of many. Iām thankful for Jesus because he made me feel loved. When no one else cared to listen to me. He made me feel worthy and a person thatās kind to you is worthy of praise and being loved back. Jesus has never once made me feel bad about myself. Every time I feel bad for my actions he says youāre human, he understands.
The best part of having a relationship with Jesus is he doesnāt just tell you to praise him and leaves you suffering. He helped me grow into a woman when integrity. He chooses you first, and wants to be chosen back and I think thatās the cutest thing in the world. A God that is all powerful and the only thing he really wants is to be loved back. Itās so sweet and genuine.
Iām Not really concerned about heaven or hell or whatever those Christianās believe because I donāt really know what that even means. I care more about what I see, and feel presently and on earth and its love.Jesus tells me to focus on love and focusing on it is the best thing Iāve ever done and will continue to learn from a kind soul. Iām sorry you donāt feel the same. I hope you find your own happiness like Iāve found mine
Sorry to hear that I wish you all the best. I donāt feel abused. I feel amazing please allow me to enjoy my beliefs. And enjoy yourself too. Cheers.

I have gotten rid of my deck because I just donāt think itās healthy for me. Itās very helpful! And thatās how my addiction started but itās not healthy for me.
I struggle with other readers predictions. Does this still apply to the fear based perspective? My biggest problem is I feel if I donāt look at it constantly they wonāt pick up on my energy or what if I miss out on valuable information. š I know it sounds so crazy but this is genuinely driving me nuts.
