South Koreans use tarot cards to read the minds of their pets

In South Korea, pet owners are turning to tarot card readings to understand their animals' thoughts and emotions. This practice has grown in popularity, especially in Seoul's affluent Gangnam district, where practitioners like Hwang Soo-kyung offer sessions for around 12 euros per reading. The service involves selecting a tarot card that represents the animal's current emotional state, which the reader then interprets. Some pet owners believe these readings provide insights into their pets' psychological well-being, such as identifying physical discomfort or unresolved trauma. The trend reflects a broader cultural shift in South Korea, where fewer people are choosing to have children due to high living costs, leading many to view pets as family members.
