Woo-woo talks | Tarot and Finances? It's all about predictions...

This is perhaps not the best platform to create posts about tarot and oracles, because the use of tarot decks is intimately rooted in our subconscious with the occult, divination, and horror movies, and with ethereality... but also the financial market ends up being shrouded in the same mysteries.

The same skills are essential in both niches. A great deal of research and assimilation of concepts and correspondences, a pinch of intuition, as well as a lot of desire to evolve and create wealth and prosperity in our lives. They both sell lots of courses for beginners and help us realize it's all about recognizing that humans are naturally irrational, and actually start to improve our behavior and make better decisions. 

So, why not talk about tarot on crypto platforms?

(: This question is purely rhetorical :)

There is a huge difference between using tarot cards and oracles as divination tools, or as a tool for mindfulness practice. If we see the tarot as a form of self-knowledge that uses synchronicity to make us understand more about our attitudes, behavior, or blocks, we can understand and even match this type of exercise tool with the science of Behavioral Finance.

Both Behavioral finance and tarot can seem erratic and woo-woo as is the study of understanding the emotional and behavioral side of decision making. The best investor isn't necessarily the “smartest” but the one that behaves wisely, and the investor that makes “informed” decisions most times are actually worse off than the one that trusts the process... (Buy and hold investors tend to outperform active management, on average, over longer time horizons and after fees, and they can typically defer capital gains taxes.)

Isn't our financial system based on trust? 

Mindfulness practices increase the connections between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, making us less reactive to stressors and helping us to recover better from stress when we experience it.

So, maybe tarot it's a good exercise for traders... Aha!!
