Closure.
Ugh.
The desire for closure is a main reason people book Tarot clients readings with me. “Why did they leave?” “Why did they die?” “Will I ever get answers?” and the more direct: “Will I ever get closure?”
The closure question makes me cringe, but I also deeply empathize with it.
I’ve asked that same question many times myself—of other readers and of my own tired Tarot deck. My own need for closure has kept me up many, many nights. Wanting closure is yet one more thing that makes us human.
Human beings crave answers.
We’ve created whole religions and ideologies around finding answers to such nebulous questions. Some might even argue that we have invented whole pantheons simply to answer the wrenching question: “Why did it happen?”
When we lose, we want it to mean something.
