Can Tarot Predict The Future?

Can Tarot Predict the Future? What the Cards Can (and Can’t) Tell You

It’s a question we get asked at Innercosm all the time Can tarot cards really predict the future? The short answer? Not exactly but they can help shape it.

There’s a common belief that tarot readings are about telling people what’s going to happen full stop. But that’s not quite how it works. At least, not in the way Hollywood might have you think.

A tarot reading isn’t about fate being sealed or being handed a script for your life. It’s more like a mirror reflecting what’s going on beneath the surface, highlighting patterns, and pointing out the energies around you.

If you’re looking for answers, tarot is a tool that can support your journey especially when you're feeling stuck or unclear. The cards offer insights and fresh perspectives, which can help you make choices with more confidence. And if you ask us, that’s more empowering than being told what’s going to happen and having no say in it.

So... can tarot predict what's going to happen?

The truth is, the future isn’t fixed. We’re constantly making choices that shape what comes next. Tarot doesn’t predict a rigid future it shows what’s likely based on your current path. Think of it like a weather forecast. If things stay as they are, this is what could unfold. But change direction, and the outcome can shift.

At Innercosm we believe that you are the creator of your future. Tarot can help us all see what’s possible and give us clarity to move forward in a way that feels aligned. It’s less about “this will happen” and more about “if you keep heading this way, here’s what might come up and here’s what you can do about it.”

Using tarot to create the future you want

Whether we're doing one-to-one readings or offering tarot at events across London and the UK, our focus is on guidance not doom and gloom. We use tarot as a way to help you connect to your own wisdom, spot opportunities, and move towards the life you actually want.

A good tarot reading isn’t about scaring you or telling you things are set in stone. It’s about lighting a torch on your path so you can walk it with more clarity. We all have free will. And when we use tarot to check in with ourselves, we become more intentional, more aware of our choices, our patterns and the energies we’re calling in.

Final thoughts

So, can tarot predict the future? Not in a rigid, written in the stars sort of way. But it can give you a glimpse of what’s possible and help you shape a future that feels right for you.
