In the Old Testament consulting a 'fortune teller' or even a palm reader was a capital offense that could result in stoning for both involved. The New Testament also considers such actions to be immoral and dangerous but does not advocate the death penalty for such things.
Catholic AnswerConsulting a fortune-teller is a sin against the First Commandment. The reason is because the premise of fortune-telling is to divine the future from a source other than God. Since God alone knows the future - even the angels and devils can only guess - fortune-telling blasphemes the Providence of God and is vulnerable to demonic interference.Concretely, the majority of fortune-tellers and their patrons do not see their trade in the above light, nor do they perceive themselves as treading on the rights of God or dabbling in demons. Promises of secret knowledge from sources often described as "supernatural" place the soul in a highly credulous and vulnerable state. It is no accident that the majority of exorcisms priests perform in homes are discovered to point back to a seance or oujia board experience - these hokey activities in themselves have no value, but it is the soul's state of vulnerability during them, the invitation of the supernatural when God has not been invited, that leaves one open to demonic obsession. For this reason, because of the danger, the Church forbids such activities, which also includes consulting fortune-tellers.
What if it is just for fun? Many fortune-tellers now have computer pathing, read-outs, etc., that are so mundane as to really kill any idea of supernatural. Some remain traditionally mysterious. As a rule, they should all still be avoided. This is because the soul is ever susceptible to superstition and temptation, and we should never seek to be led into temptation.

I'm a successful professional psychic and a Christian Witch. There is NO "destiny" and psychic or tarot readings should only be used to give perspective on the past, insight on the present and guide to the future. Nobody could tell the future - only give you your options and advise you what's in your best interest. Only God knows what's around every corner and what your final decision will be.
