REPLY:

Although this question may have been better suited to Tarot Transits,

it does serve to frame some differences between Astrology and Tarot.

These comments are my opinions and are open to discussion. TAROT

involves more intuitive processes early in the reading process than

does ASTROLOGY -- where intuition can be applied/used in the chart

deliniation process following the initial layout and mechanics of

chart review for significant patterns, etc.

 

Also, the TAROT seems more dependant on the Reader's frame of mind in

terms of focus, posing a question, choosing an appropriate spread and

then reading the cards. ASTROLOGY seems more of a mechanical process

in the early stages, you can always get a basic reading and find the

focal points in time when specific natal and transiting conditions are

more likely to be evident.

 

TAROT seems to me to be more spontaneous and capable of dealing more

simply (in terms of numbers of cards and thier usage) with questions

that involve amgiguities and feelings. ASTROLOGY appears to be far

more complex in its processes and ability to deal with questions from

many aspects and to define series of events and timing. Plus, its very

nature can allow it to be helpful just following the mechanics.

 

TAROT is easier to learn and faster for a reader to reach a reasonable

(but not expert) level of use. It is also, for many, a process which

is dependant upon the skill level, knowledge, mental balance and frame

of mind of the reader -- in other words, some find it works or works

less well at times. ASTROLOGY is more difficult to learn, takes

longer to learn, but seems (for me) to be mostly evenly capable of

providing answers and is not so " fluctuating " in the giving of

information.

 

Hope these views help. Dave
