Can Tarot cards predict stock price movements?

From the perspective of someone who has been playing Tarot for a few years, my answer is: No, you cannot. Seriously, don't believe it.

Let me give you an analogy, and you'll understand.

What is Tarot like? It's more like a psychological counselor or a friend who helps you "look in the mirror." When you have something on your mind that you can't figure out, or you're confused about a situation, you draw cards. The images and symbolic meanings on the cards act like a mirror, reflecting your subconscious thoughts, details you might have overlooked, or your current state of mind. It helps you clarify your thoughts, see yourself clearly, and is a tool for inward exploration.

For example, you might ask Tarot: "How is my current work situation?" The cards might tell you whether you're full of drive or feeling tired and needing a break.

But what is the stock market? It's an extremely vast and complex system, influenced by the global economy, political news, company financial reports, public sentiment, and even a single word from a major figure. It's a chaotic collection of thousands of variables, something you look at externally.

Using an "inward-looking" tool to predict a "chaotic, illogical, outward-looking" system is like trying to listen to a song with a map – they are completely unrelated.

So, if you ask Tarot: "Should I buy this stock?" It might help you analyze whether your current decision-making mindset is driven by greed or rational analysis, but it absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot tell you whether that stock will rise or fall tomorrow.

Putting money into the stock market relies on market research, company analysis, and a bit of luck, not mysticism. Using Tarot cards to predict stocks is basically like throwing darts blindfolded to pick stocks – extremely high risk and very unreliable.

Just remember one thing: Tarot is for understanding people's hearts, not market trends.

To put it directly, the answer is no. At least not in the way you imagine, like "accurately predicting which stock will hit its daily limit tomorrow."

Let's just say, it's like asking a psychologist if they can help you guess the next lottery numbers – you're using the wrong tool for the job.

Let me explain why:

1. What are Tarot cards for?

Tarot cards are more like a mirror. They reflect not the distant future, but your own inner self. When you draw a card, its symbolic meaning can activate your subconscious, allowing you to see thoughts, fears, hopes, and potential blind spots you might not even be aware of.

For example, if you're anxious about an investment and draw a "Three of Swords" (which typically represents heartbreak, pain), it might not be saying, "Your stock is going to drop!" Instead, it could be reminding you: "Your anxiety and fear about this investment are already causing you a lot of pain. Isn't it time to examine the source of these emotions?"

So, Tarot cards are a tool about "people," about the inner world.

2. What is the stock market for?

The stock market is an extremely complex external system. Its ups and downs depend on thousands of factors completely beyond your control: international policies, national economic data, company financial reports, industry developments, technological breakthroughs, or even a single statement from an influential figure.

It's a chaotic system made up of countless human decisions and vast amounts of information. It has little to do with your "personal subconscious." Your mood, good or bad, will not affect the market's trend.

A simple analogy:

Using Tarot cards to predict the stock market is like trying to measure the length of a room with a thermometer. A thermometer is a good tool, but its function is to measure temperature, not length. If you force them together, the result will naturally be meaningless.

So, are Tarot cards completely useless for investment?

Not entirely. You can rephrase your questions and use them in the right way. Don't ask:

• "Will stock X go up or down next week?" (This is predicting an external system)

Instead, ask questions about yourself:

• "Is my current investment mindset too greedy/too fearful?"
• "What blind spots do I have regarding my financial planning that I'm not aware of?"
• "What is my biggest obstacle to long-term holding?"

You see, these questions are all about you. Through Tarot cards, you can better understand your state as an investor, help clarify your thoughts, and make calmer, more goal-aligned decisions.

To summarize:

Trying to find stock codes and predict price movements with Tarot cards is essentially a fantasy. It falls into the realm of pseudoscience.

However, if you want to use it to examine your investment mindset and avoid being swayed by emotions, it might help you become a more clear-headed investor.

Ultimately, investing in stocks still relies on solid research, rational analysis, and a fundamental understanding of the market. Leave professional matters to professional methods.
