Tarot Snooping: Stop Being a Psychic Creeper (Because Karma's Watching, and She's Pissed)
If you, the querent, have been desperate for intel on an ex's whereabouts, their new partner's feelings, or whether your boss secretly hates you, you need to stop. Right now. If you, the Tarot reader, have been enabling this garbage by providing these "third-party readings," you need to stop. Right now. Seriously, put the cards down, step away from the spiritual peephole, and take a long, hard look in the mirror.
For the Querent: Karma's Got a "Due-Upon-Now" Bill with Your Name On It
You think you're just getting "answers" when you decide to snoop on an ex with Tarot? Oh, you sweet, naive, energetically invasive fool. If you trespass into someone else's energetic space without their explicit permission, Karma isn't sending a polite reminder email; she's delivering a hefty, non-negotiable invoice for spiritual harassment. And the payment is often due upon receipt, in forms you definitely won't like.
Would you enjoy being secretly spied on, having your emotional state dissected, and your next moves predicted by someone you dislike, or someone you broke up with? No? Then maybe stop being a psychic creeper yourself. What goes around, comes around, and the universe has a surprisingly efficient spiritual subpoena service.
1. The Privacy Violation: It's a Psychic Peephole, Not Insight
Let's cut through the spiritual bypassing: Your ex, your estranged partner, your annoying boss, or that person you have a crush on did not consent to have their emotional state accessed, dissected, and analyzed by a deck of cards you're holding. This isn't insightful Tarot guidance; it's psychic voyeurism, plain and simple.
Tarot cards are not a peephole into their brain, their bedroom, their bank account, or their new dating app profile. You are effectively attempting to hack into their energetic firewall. This isn't helping you; it's keeping you stuck in an unhealthy obsession. Instead of trying to crawl back into their energetic space, how about you focus on your own damn life? Move forward and actively search for your own happiness, rather than trying to steal glimpses of someone else's.
2. The Uselessness: You're Just Reading Your Own Delusions
Here's the brutal kicker, the uncomfortable truth about all third-party Tarot readings: The cards can ONLY read your energy. They are reflecting the energetic landscape around you and within you.
That "insight" you think you're getting about your ex's true feelings? It's not their feelings you're seeing. It's your projection, your wishful thinking, your unresolved trauma, your paranoia, or your desperate need for closure. You're just looking into a mirror and pretending it's a window into someone else's soul.
Your Hope: You pull The Lovers and immediately think, "He misses me!" when the card is actually reflecting your lingering hope and desire for reconciliation.
Your Fear: You pull The Devil and interpret it as "They're trapped in a terrible new relationship!" when it's actually reflecting your own fears of abandonment or your shadow aspects that keep you stuck.
Your Obsession: You keep pulling cards about them, and all you see are echoes of your own obsession, feeding the very addiction you need to break.
Tarot cards are phenomenal tools for self-reflection and personal growth. They illuminate your path, your obstacles, your power. They are not a crystal ball for other people's unsolicited dirty laundry. Focus that potent energy on your own journey.
For the Tarot Reader: The Enabler, The Ethically Dubious, The Addiction Dealer
Now, for those of you who call yourselves "readers" and are actively facilitating this energetic trespassing, listen up. This isn't just about a client's bad karma; it's about yours.
1. The Ethical Scolding: You're an Enabler, Not a Healer
When you agree to do these third-party readings – when you happily pull cards to tell a querent if their ex's new partner is miserable, or what their boss really thinks of them – you're not offering guidance; you're encouraging dependence and feeding an unhealthy obsession. You are actively participating in unethical Tarot practices.
You're Not Helping: If your client can't move on without constantly stalking their ex's aura, you're not helping them heal; you're enabling their addiction to pain, delusion, and external validation. You're giving them a hit of psychic fentanyl instead of a roadmap to sobriety.
You're an Addiction Dealer: You're dishing out doses of false hope, feeding their obsession, and prolonging their suffering instead of promoting genuine self-reflection and personal growth. You're a spiritual drug pusher, peddling illusion instead of empowerment.
2. The Energetic Fallout: You're Inviting Trouble (And Bad Karma)
Every time you actively participate in Tarot snooping, you are consciously creating an energetic imbalance. You are lending your own energy, your own spiritual tools, and your own reputation to violate someone else's energetic sovereignty.
Opening a Portal: You're essentially opening a backdoor into someone's life for your querent, and guess who holds the door open? You. This creates a direct energetic conduit that is ripe for negative attachment, backwash, or blowback.
Attracting the Wrong Clients: Consistently offering unethical Tarot readings will attract more clients who want exactly that. You will become known as the "snooping reader," drawing in energy vampires and drama addicts who will exhaust you and further compromise your Tarot ethics.
Karma's Receipt for You: Just as the querent gets a "due-upon-now" bill, so do you. Your own boundaries become porous, your own luck and fortune can become entangled, and your spiritual practice will lose its integrity and clarity. The universe has a way of balancing the scales, and you don't want to be on the wrong side of that ledger.
Stop. Just Stop. Learn Your Boundaries and Start Saying NO.
This isn't negotiable. This isn't "up for interpretation." This is fundamental Tarot ethics.
For Querents: Focus on your growth, your healing, your next steps. Ask questions about your feelings, your actions, your potential. The only person you can genuinely change or truly understand in depth through Tarot is you.
For Readers: Develop a clear ethical Tarot policy and stick to it. Learn to say "NO" firmly, kindly, and without apology. Explain why you won't do these readings – because it's disrespectful, unhelpful, and ultimately damaging to both parties. Offer to reframe their question to focus on their energy.
Tarot is a powerful, sacred tool. Don't cheapen it by turning it into a psychic reality show for the obsessed. Honor its purpose, honor energetic boundaries, and honor your own integrity. Karma is always watching, and she has excellent vision.
