Tarot and astrology are two different different things. Both Astrology and Tarot work but you need to practice them to see it and in the case of Tarot you need to learn detachment and or looking at things objectively. The cards aren’t magical they just direct your consciousness mind to what you’re subconscious mind knows or feels. Astrology is psychology relfected on the “heavens” created by our prehistoric ancestors who first noticed the traits and cyclical nature of the world.

@Greyjedi No part of your education included fortune telling.
Which type of astrology? Way too many versions and none mesh with each other. A cheap version of psychology based on magical superstition? People get their programming from outer space? Experience over time is a non factor? Can you show it works and how?
Tarots is a card game. Not something that can be bought to give one automatic psychic ability. Ever play bridge or poker? Then you know duplicate hands are near impossible. There are no tarot reading standards and the cards don’t repeat. It would be lousy game if they did.

Games are played with Tarot cards in various countries of Europe, but nowhere is it as popular as in France. There are clubs, tournaments (including duplicate events) and an official body, the Fédération Française de Tarot. French Tarot is also played in the French speaking parts of Canada. The following description is partly based on contributions from Craig Kaplan, Michel Braunwarth and Eric Betito.
The Players
Tarot is a trick-taking game in which the partnerships vary from hand to hand. It is most commonly played by four players, and this version is described first. However it is also common for five to play, and it is also possible for three.
The deck consists of 78 cards. The four suits are the standard ones of diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs, and each suit contains fourteen cards ranking from high to low:
Roi (king), Dame (queen), Cavalier (knight), Valet (jack), 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
In addition to the four standard suits there is a extra suit of twenty-one atouts (trumps) numbered from 21 (high) to 1 (low).
Finally, there is a special card called the excuse, or the fool, marked with a star in the corner.
Three cards, the 1 of trump (called the petit), the 21 of trump and the excuse are particularly important in the game and are known as bouts ("ends") or sometimes in books as oudlers.
