So my question is, how much do we rely o

I'll check the tarot skill's guidance on this kind of question about how readings relate to decisions.

A reading is a mirror, not a verdict — it reflects what you already brought to the situation, and the *real* question then becomes one you can go and check.

That's how this skill is built on purpose. The judgment is always conditional ("if the written scope matches the week you'd actually live, then this; if it doesn't, then that"). The reading names where to look — the document, the conversation, the record — and one solo step that brings back something the cards can't supply. The deck sharpens the question; it doesn't decide for you.

There's also a hard line drawn around it: tarot doesn't issue verdicts on medical, legal, investment, gambling, or death questions. Those go to the people who can actually settle them — a doctor, a lawyer, a licensed adviser. The reading can still name your worry and your conditions, but the call is theirs and yours, not the deck's.

How much to rely on it, then: as much as a good question in a journal — enough to *see* the situation clearly, not enough to *settle* it. The decision is still yours, and the cards work best when they make you braver about going to find out.

If you want, I can pull a card on a specific decision you're weighing right now — that's where reading + your own check works best.
