The question of destiny has always put man into deep confusion. In fact, the existence of destiny has remained as mysterious as the existence of divinity itself. Both aspects of human society have prevailed since ancient times, but the actual truths behind them have not dawned upon the ordinary human being. However, they have always been spiritual gurus and divine teachers who have advocated about the presence of divinity everywhere and about a destiny that influences the actions of human life.



It is the existence of destiny that has puzzled human societies about human life and they continue to seek for answers about it from spiritual gurus and fortunetellers. Various sciences of the unknown such as astrology, numerology and tarot card readings or tarot reading have been popular among the masses only because they throw light upon destiny and give indication about the presence of divinity.

If the destiny for an individual is to go through a suffering, there is also a solution from the same tarot reading, for example. The tarot card readings enlighten the individual about certain actions which can be done to avoid the suffering and take the advantage of the divinity present around. So, both destiny and divinity go hand in hand.

Sciences such as tarot card readings give a strong indication about the presence of destiny in human life. This means that a man living under a destiny has no responsible actions, since everything happens to him rather he is doing it from his own consciousness. Yet, sufferings from all actions have to be faced by man himself.

Tarot reading, in some cultures, indicates about karma, or actions of the past birth which have direct implications about the destiny of the present life. If karma has been good enough, the destiny is going to be favorable all through the life, or at least in most part of it. But if karma of the previous life is full of misdeeds, then in that case a destiny, full of sufferings, will hound the individual all the time.

Besides tarot card readings, many other occult sciences also explain this and reinforce the concept of planetary influences working on the same esoteric law of cause and effect, which follows the individual's destiny through many lives. The religions of Buddhism and Hinduism also follow the same traditions and consider destiny a result of one's past deeds.

In order to balance the misdeeds of the past life, people are advised to take up such actions to win the forgiveness of the divine powers. Tarot reading, astrological charts and other occult interpretations have devised techniques that can lessen the pain and bring about the remedy in the destiny of the individual who has committed regretful actions in his past life.

The role of divinity comes into prominence here and it is believed that by the intervention of the divine powers, the destiny of an individual can be changed. Ancient religions and cultures suggest about sacrifices, but these sacrifices do not necessarily mean sacrificing animals to please the gods. It means sacrifices in terms of giving up one's attachment towards something like wealth and stop being greedy or selfish, which could be an inherent quality of some individuals since past life.
