People come to astrologers - often - to find out "what will happen". and that's devil's arts right there
This is exactly why I stopped teaching people anything mystery school related. All they wanted to do was abuse it for their own gain, even against me who taught them. I felt like I was doing the Devil's work and stopped immediately.
because the future ISNT FINAL yet, and only Jesus decides those things.
Absolutely correct. I studied Judaism for a bit and a Rabbi once told me "We don't need to do it (astrology) because we can go directly to God."
That statement really stuck with me, and I expanded upon it more. I realized that tarot, astrology, all that other mystery school stuff might hold truths for some people, but we're really just filtering out God's message into a finite amount of symbols, and our own interpretation of these symbols.
Why not just speak to God directly, as he intended?
I used to be really into tarot readings. I would spend some hours on it trying to get perspective on situations (usually involving relationships and guys but I also treated it predictively). And then one day, I had this sudden lightbulb - the tarot readings weren't inaccurate, but they devil's tricks. Sure, that guy was super into me, but the truth was he was a total chicken shit and while I was waiting for him to come to his senses, I was missing out on making friends and meeting better men. Sure, that job paid well, but my boss was never not going to be an asshole who stressed me out daily so was the advancement the cards promised me worth it when I could be seeking better? Things like that.
The final straw was when the tarot reader I was watching used an Illumanati Deck. I immediately noped the heck out and begged forgiveness from God because I knew I'd been tricking myself and not trusting Him. I've been giving everything to Him since then and I've been the better for it.

God was trying to speak to you through the cards because it was the medium you were absorbed in at the time.
It seems like God had an advancement planned for you in life, but it required you to leave that job and grow elsewhere. What you described is a perfect example of "bottle necking" God's message through symbols.
Even with the man you were into at the time, the pattern seems to be a complacency the cards put you in. It gave you a sense of false hope - ie false faith.
If it were me, I would take that as an overall message from God to move forward whenever I felt the signs of complacency. I believe he wants all of us to carve our own path instead of waiting on others for the perfect situation.
Thanks for sharing your story, sharing our experiences will strengthen each other.
I know how you feel. I have an older family member who raised us in it. Based relationships and business deals off of it, the whole nine yards.
I'd love to share our "reasons we know it's bullshit" stories sometime! Lol.

This was one of my steps back to Christ.

what about doing a chart for a rando on the net?
I only have one rule if I do a chart with an astrologer:
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. 😉
