I'm not into astrology at all but I do read Taro. The cards aren't so much to read the future but to give you a frame work to think in and perhaps some new perspectives. For instance if I draw a card that indicates pride is standing in my way of something it gives me chance to stop and think about how that might be so even if I had never considered that pride may be part of my current issue. I assume astrology being a tool kinda works the same.
