 The card I drew for today was the Five of Coins. For reasons I can't go into here, the Five of Coins, with its symbolism of hardship, loss, despair, "material and economic setbacks" is perfectly, sadly, appropriate for my mood today.
I was talking about the Tarot to Bob tonight, and trying to put my feelings about it into words. I told him that to me, it isn't really divination per se, but a way to tap into the things I already know, but that I may not want to confront, or which may not be in the forefront of my consciousness. Every reading I've done has told me things that I already know, or validated feelings that I have. There haven't been any great revelations, but I didn't expect that. What I've found has been, I don't know, comforting, I guess. Made me pay attention sometimes, made me look at things that I would prefer to ignore, but on the whole just giving me things to think about. And I like that. Even the Five of Coins.

That's exactly how I feel about Tarot. When I first starting drawing cards, it was a little startling to find out my reaction was almost always "Duh, tell me something I don't know!" I gradually got used to it, and now look at it as more of an affirmation. That's why it feels comforting, because I feel like the Tarot is somehow listening and acknowledging what's going on.
