I read Tarot as a mild hobby - I love collecting decks and paraphernalia and then using them. But for me it’s like any other creative impetus randomizer machine (scenes from a hat in improv, the artists way, oblique strategies…) - you pull a series of images and then talk about how it makes you feel.
And I wholeheartedly respect that - I know people who view it as a means to enable meditative reflection on their actions, and people who hold to the messages in the cards as truth from the universe. But either way you should be straight with your friends when you see them making a bad call.
I mean, if they’re doing what the meme depicts, they’ve probably already had that conversation in a straightforward way. It does say “the 8th time” after all. If someone is repeatedly asking for your advice and then ignoring your advice, I think a little snark is reasonable.
That’s certainly a valid interpretation - though in that case I’d question why they’re resorting to snark while continuing to treat with their friend on the issue.

it’s not spiritual at all for me.
