4 Hilariously Honest Reasons Tarot Is (Sometimes) Better Than Therapy
(Straight from our YouTube tarot community)
Recently at BoTarot, we asked our YouTube clients:
“What’s your funniest, weirdest, or most magical reason why tarot is better than therapy?”
And wow—you all delivered. ✨
The responses were insightful, chaotic (in the best way), and deeply relatable.
Sure, therapy is healing and important—but tarot? Tarot reads your soul and delivers the truth with flair.
Here are our favorite reasons why tarot just hits different, straight from our magical YouTube fam:
💘 “I knew it! He’s my soulmate!”
— Ling
“Also, when you get the Lovers card or Two of Cups you say: I knew it, he is my soulmate 🥹🥰😍”
No therapist would ever say “He’s your twin flame.”
But your tarot cards? Oh, they’ll validate your entire love story in one spread. Destiny confirmed.
🌪️ “No magical surprise like The Tower!”
— Ling
“In tarot, ‘The Tower’ means total chaos or changes—which you can’t get from therapy’s ‘unresolved issue’… No magical surprise like ‘Wow!’ Yes, it happens when people ignore the signs.”
Therapy gently guides you toward awareness.
Tarot’s Tower kicks the door in and says: “You’re done ignoring this now.”
It’s less clinical, more divine detonation.
🕵️♀️ “You can’t lie to Spirit!”
— sun
“In therapy we can influence the stories or hide stuff from our therapist, but in tarot? NOOO 😂 The reader will catch you! Probably that 7 of Swords will fly out quick once Spirit smells dishonesty.”
Therapists ask questions.
Tarot pulls receipts.
The 7 of Swords doesn’t lie—and neither does your energy.
🌌 “Just blame the retrograde!”
— Dreya
“Because you get to blame everything on the retrograde 🤣🤣🤣 and you don’t get judged on your situationship 😂”
Mercury retrograde made you text your ex?
Tarot gets it.
No shame, just cosmic chaos and cards that understand.
💫 BoTarot’s Take:
Here’s the truth: we love therapy, and it absolutely has its place in healing. But tarot speaks a different language.
It’s spiritual, intuitive, and often wildly accurate in ways that leave you saying, “How did it know?!”
At BoTarot, we believe tarot is a sacred mirror—a portal to your deeper knowing, guided by something greater. It cuts through noise, highlights truth, and makes you feel seen in seconds.
Plus, it’s way more fun to say “The High Priestess told me so” than “My therapist suggested I journal.”
