Despite projections, overbooked schedules, and calendars filled years in advance, the future remains a mysterious time that escapes our control and cannot be fully predicted. It reminds us of our destiny, shaped by choices and combined chances.

Divination, horoscopes, tarot, Yi Jing, cartomancy, palmistry, and other practices seek to unravel the mystery and attempt to foresee the future, delving into randomness to find resolution or meaning. Whether it indicates a mood for the day or leads to irreversible decisions, often a word or phrase associated with a "reading" questions our destiny.

Finding the right path, discovering the true way, and orienting ourselves are all questions for which we try to find answers through various means.
