Everything in life is a cycle. Everything in nature runs in a cycle. My personal observations of reading the Tarot for the past several years has been that the Tarot enables us to be aware of those cycles and to work with them and to use them to the maximum. I also firmly believe, based on my observations, that the future is not set. We make our future according to the decisions and actions that we take today. Hence knowing what influences or cycles are affecting us at the present moment help us modify our lives for the better. We have a distinct advantage that we have FREE WILL -whether it is a blessing or a curse-we are responsible for our actions and can to a great extend have control on our lives.
