There are several good, don't pull punches decks out there (that I might have to do a post on, now that I think about it) that force one to read with a realistic slant. After getting used to how right they are, one can't really go back to reading in a fluff bunny fashion.
I keep coming back to the Deviant Moon deck because it refuses to play nice and fluffy (it's too creepily accurate in far too many reasons I give to myself, and perhaps others) but I am interested in the other decks that kick ass that you might recommend.
I think that the reason people go to card readers and then continue to go is because the whole point of tarot is to change the future. One wants to know the vague mutterings of the universe in one's direction.
That's a part of why I've been leaning more towards astrology and have been wanting to eventually learn geomancy as of late. Tarot can be very useful, but that really depends on the quality of the reader. Astrology and geomancy can be more objective, which is making me wonder about my relationship in the future with the Tarot.
It just seems disingenuous to not allow a person to change their habits or be cautious about an event.

I agree.
