Comments from a tarot reader:

Surprise, surprise!

I think both Trelawney and the Centaurs are full of *it*.  (whatever "it" may 
be to you ).

I read tarot, but I do not believe that any tarot reader can predict the 
future.  I use tarot to help my querants understand and put in order their 
thoughts and discover the path they are traveling.  I do come up with 
outcomes - but they are "this is where you want to go" outcomes, not "this is 
what will happen to you" outcomes.

Trelawney takes herself too darned seriously, of course.  Except that - she 
also apparently channels (on very rare occasions and not by choice).  When 
she is receiving messages that may actually have some predictive value, I 
believe she's much like the guy in 3rd Rock from the Sun who is along with 
the rest because he's got a "thing" in his head and receives messages from 
the Big Giant Head.

She's not getting it right because she's "attuned" or whatever she would call 
it - she's just being used by higher powers.

JKR seems to have what I believe is an appropriate skeptisms regarding 
fortune tellers.  

Love & Light,
