Having an open mind and sanity/reality checking things against the models and evidence available are not mutually exclusive. Some people's minds are so open that they will believe in any old rubbish regardless of the evidence.
Personally I disagree with most legislation designed to protect grown adults from their own stupidity, greed, gullibility etc. Obviously minors are a different matter and I never made reference to any of the sorts of things that you mention above so I'm not sure what prompted you to go off on that tangential rant. Ultimately I believe that grown adults should be allowed to do whatever they choose as long as it does not harm the person or property of other non consenting individuals. It may harm themselves but that is their choice. However I realise that we live in a society that does not generally hold the same views as me so I accept the laws that have been enacted that may circumscribe such freedoms and work to change those that I feel are objectionable.
It was tangential in that it was a total non sequitur to what I posted.Sorry if you didnt' like my post but I think what I wrote wasn't tangential at all.

Mmmm...the moon appears to be in Sagittarius...
Agree 100% with this too.
Astrology is absolute nonsense.
How can the same reading apply to 1/12th of the worlds population at the same time. Tripe.
No its definitely in Uranus.
Because there is no independent, objective evidence of any note supporting any claims that astrology "works" perhaps?However - on the side of skeptism - I would be inclined to ask:
How come identical twins born at the same time in the same place dont have exactly the same important events happen on exactly the same dates in their lives?
A quicker way is to look at the available evidence supporting claims of efficacy and then draw conclusions...A quick way of getting rid of an opponent's assertion, or of throwing suspicion on it, is by putting it into some odious category.
A good odious category is "superstition".

OP, you should ask yourself, if these people genuinely have some special gift how come they're not fabulously wealthy and famous?
Surely easier dosh for them to put their lot on the 3.45 at the races ........ if hey can forecast the future. These guys are charlatans - feeding off gullibility.
Surely the tarot card is merely a tool of the tradeTotal rubbish, no such thing as anyone predicting the future.
However - I do think that perhaps when people go with a problem that the whole ceremony of clairvoyance (perhaps reading the palm, or using tarot cards) can help focus the individuals mind on their own issue and they end up dealing with their issue or feeling better about it because they use the session as a tool to gain answers from within.
Other than that its total poppycock.
