Tarot

The ending of “Tarot” reveals that the cursed tarot cards are the source of the supernatural deaths plaguing the characters. The cards are linked to a vengeful astrologer from the 18th century who performed a blood ritual after her daughter’s death and cursed the deck, embedding her spirit within it. This curse inverts the zodiac, promising that anyone who uses the cards is doomed to face tragedy. Throughout the film, the characters realize that the predictions manifest literally, often resulting in death. Haley, who initially dismisses the supernatural aspect, eventually understands that destroying the deck is the only way to end the curse. With the help of Alma, the last surviving expert who tried to destroy the cards for decades, they attempt to banish the astrologer’s spirit by severing her connection to the deck. Alma’s spirit becomes uncontrollable and is killed in the process, but before she dies, she manages to summon the spirit of the astrologer, who is trapped within her own curse. Haley then conducts a spiritual intervention, offering the astrologer a chance to heal her trauma and let go of her vengeful rage. This act of compassion allows the spirit to finally find peace, and the cursed deck is destroyed. With the curse lifted, Haley and Grant escape the mansion alive. The final scenes show them safe, with Paxton arriving in a car, having narrowly escaped with the help of his roommate. The movie closes on their survival, but the true horror of the curse is broken, ending the cycle of tragedy that had haunted the deck for centuries.**
