Why I Stopped Watching Tarot Videos

Pick-a-card tarot readings are super popular on social media platforms like Youtube and Tiktok. If you've ever had a tarot reading you know they can be addictive and not the best for mental health, but that's not the main reason why I stopped watching tarot videos. Today I share why I no longer watch tarot videos and why they are not always accurate.

However, like with everything in this reality, we can never know for sure, so exercise your own discernment and only take on as truth that which resonates for you as truth. Keep an open mind, but if something doesn’t resonate, please honour that.

I'm tired of the " they love you and are coming back" messages for the past 3 years. I'm done

I feel that it really depends on how we use tarot and divination methods. If we use it more for confirmation of our intuition rather than finding answers, it can be incredibly practical and useful. Tarot is a guide to push us in the right direction but if we're using it to limit our own free will, that's when it becomes unhealthy.

I’ve honestly decided to stop all together. Try to trust myself more. Because I know what’s best for me more then anyone else.

When I was super heartbroken, I listened to many different pick a card readers and was so comforted by their readings. As time progressed, however, I began to realize that they almost ALWAYS said the same things. While the 'details' of the reading might resonate, the results were always, "They love you, they miss you, they regret what they did, they really do want union!" And this led me to believe that a man who was actually horrible for me was just struggling to express himself.

I ONLY listen to one or two readers now, on select occasions, and I feel so sorry for so many people in the comments who are clearly holding onto toxic exes because their daily/weekly reading says they are coming back and they're just misunderstood.

EDIT: All the people in the comments going off on a tangent about how I'm wrong and "it's just a general reading" and "don't be so negative, " I appreciate your optimism, but not everyone out there is reading tarot on YouTube with perfect, good intentions. The ENTIRE point was that the endless optimism can contribute to trapping people in a toxic cycle. There's shade and light in every situation, and telling me to stop with the criticism shows how blinded you yourself are.

We become addicted to the possibilities instead of focussing on the reality. Natural gut feeling, your faith and personal beliefs and your own intuition should guide and take you to the correct path

Tarot is a divination tool. It is merely reading energy. No one can ever predict free will. So in my opinion if tarot helps you, use it as a lesson in intuition. For me it helped me understand the difference between intuition and trauma. Each to their own at the end of the day 😘💕

Just don’t get so caught up in it. Some tarot readers bring a lot of positivity to their readings. Some give off a different energy. Protect your energy. And don’t forget to check in with yourself.

As I was so heart broken the tarot readings I watched very much comforted me and kept me going. I’m now healed but tarot readings was there for me for a year and a half as I healed. It was company and therapy. I’m all for it !!

[aasthagawali]

When I started watching tarot I was in such a bad place, it was the only thing that gave me hope. Honestly it kept me alive. I am thankful to all the readers but I do agree with what she said. I became so obsessed with these readings that I would watch them everyday. Slowly I realised how toxic it was as I would waste my time on it. It also controlled my mood if something bad came up I would be upset for the whole day. Now I have become conscious of it and hardly watch tarot readings that to for fun and from only the trusted readers. There are some readers I don't trust anymore because they don't seem geniune to me who I feel mislead people

*Too much of anything is a bad thing. Even drinking too much water can poison you. Do everything in moderation. When it comes to Tarot/Divination, use it to validate/confirm what your intuition is already telling you. If you become “obsessed”, then that’s when it becomes a problem. Just like being obsessed with anything else.*

[holychirp]

The most amazing things in life happen when you don't know about them. That's the real magic of life.
The more I watched the more I lived in illusions narrated through those videos, and I couldn't accept the reality for what it actually was. So
I wasted lots of time and energy on something that was not worth it from the very beginning.
I realized, the most vibrant things unfold when you don't overthink nor expect them ♥

Tarot is a guide. If it become an obsession is not the faut of the tarot, is the problem of who have the obsession.✨🙌🏻❤

[BreathingMagic]

It depends on your attitude towards the matter. If you put other people's opinions on pedestals or get emotionally over-attached to what others say, you're essentially giving away your power. On the contrary, if you know your values, honor your feelings, and trust your intuition, you claim your MAGIC. When you are centered, watching such videos can be a way to practice differentiating whether things resonate with you and maybe spark new insights.

Tarot reads our energy, and can be a tool to help us with some decisions. Ultimately we choose our present and future, not Tarot.

[gratiella]

When you're heartbroke watching tarot readings can be comforting, gives you hope, keeps your attention on a possible bright future. In time you learn to accept the truth and move on. I think no therapist can compete with these readings.😂
It helps a lot.

Nice explanations 🙂 I am a male tarot reader and I watch tarot videos. When I first got into it I was obsessed. My "trigger" to turn to tarot was a separation. I was lost, I wanted answers, and I didn't trust the answers that I concluded on my own. I was constantly trying to seek answers to the same questions and trying to find answers for every single thing. I also didn't want to share my issues with anyone else for advice. I could do that privately on my own with tarot.

Thinking about it, I found that I only turned to tarot when something was wrong. But when things are good and going well, and when I don't have any or many doubts, I don't have that same urge to turn to tarot so often.

Personally, I found that tarot can (but not solely) create obsession and it can trap you in the same mindset, especially if you are constantly troubled. When a reading does not resonate, I had the habit of trying to fit the messages into my situation, because I was troubled, even though it is advised that you don't do that. But it's hard not to when you're trying to seek divine answers. When a prediction didn't come true, I thought to myself that I must have done something wrong. I did not shape my own future believing this.

Like you, I have trusted myself and my own intuition more. I still watch tarot videos, though, mainly because it feels good hearing a positive message or confirmation. I don't let it rule my life or my decisions anymore though, so why not.

I won't lie, though, I believe that tarot helped me resolve some issues in the past. It helped me look into different possibilities and see situations differently.

Nobody but yourself should determine your reality, and you should always be careful of what you let in. Meditation is all the guidance you need. Everything is in the silence.

[dreamrocker]

Tarot readings from the start, ,, saying my twin flame soulmate is coming, you're about to be a millionaire, gifts are coming, doors will open > someone from your past seeks my attention, None of this BS ever Happened !!! Wasted 2 years of my life on these things Nothing but heartbreak and panicking wondering what's wrong with me ... That's why I quit watching ... No One Can Tell The Future

[melissaclair]

I've been reading tarot cards for over six years, and in the beginning, I always wondered where the messages come from.
After doing a lot of research and trusting my own intuition I have found that the answers come from whoever you ask to help you on the other side, as well as from our own higher selves.
If you see a pick a card reading that doesn't resonate with you, then all you have to do is disregard it.
That is where your own intuition and inner knowing comes in.
If a reading feels off, or if the advice someone is giving from a reading seems harmful in any way, you do not have to listen to it.
Creating fear around the tarot cards seems like it's coming from a lower frequency.
Fear creates fear.

I stopped watching them as well because i started watching them obsessively and begin to have full blown panic attacks. I stopped watching them and tapped back in to my own intuition and inner being abilities and got reacquainted with my own energy instead of other’s that i dont even know. ❤️❤️❤️
