This resonates…when I worked for one of those tarot apps and Etsy this was exactly what people wanted- quick deliverables on the other person. I love the alternative questions listed here💗🙏
Okay! I’ll admit it. I have been and sometimes am still one of those girls. I’ve used tarot the absolute wrong way that encourages codependency and enables fear driven thinking. My first tarot reading ever was a tower card and a 3 of swords based on my love for a dear childhood friend. When I was in the deepest depths of love, and in the hardest part of my transition - a friend and role model of a woman gave me my first tarot deck. The traditional fairy tale way some people swear by..
Since then… I’ve used tarot obsessively to navigate love. It felt like a superpower honestly, and in my hands felt empowering. But the line is thin. And I’ve fallen deep into the depths of codependency - trapped by the shadow of my own intuition.
Somehow though… it’s all worked out. And my willingness to let myself make all of the wrong moves and act in all of worst ways was exactly what I needed to break my ego and grow.
So in defense of love readings and peoples longing for fairy tale endings - accepting this desire of myself lovingly and allowing myself to obsessively chase it through prophesy, invited more power through lived experience, and has strengthened my wisdom and resilience. I know the shape of my own shadow because I’ve danced with it and held it intimately.
Just a bizarre twisted perspective. I don’t disagree with your article either. Fantastic and insightful as always. Just wanted to share my experience into the heart of insanity and wishful thinking… and how that even in of itself can be part of the journey.

Thanks for sharing, and none of this surprises me at all
