Projection

Attributing one’s own unacknowledged feelings, desires, or traits to another person or situation.

Projection is the psyche’s way of externalizing what it cannot yet own. You may dislike in others what you refuse to see in yourself, or fall in love with qualities you have disowned.

Tarot can expose projections by showing you what you are casting onto people, jobs, or futures—so you can reclaim what belongs to you.
