My Codependency With Tarot

When I was in the New Age community, I had an astrological sign. Because I had an astrological sign, I had an identity. I believe that the sign taught me not only about myself but about others. Their personalities, their quirks, and their intentions. The only way I could see a specific sign or individual's intention was through tarot readings done by either myself or other tarot card readers. Not only did I find myself in a place of codependency, but I also found myself lacking in critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. Those were only a few costs of being able to have the "spiritual upper hand" or to seek spiritual guidance from spirits that claim to be benevolent "spirit guides". These practices aren't exclusive to the New Age community, but they are deceptive in essence nonetheless.
