In the directions is this passage: Make no mistake. The Housewives Tarot can't give you direct answers to all of life's problems. Though the cards are quite powerful and seem to possess an uncanny knowledge, they can only empower you to find your own answers, and inspire you to make your own fortune.
They cannot foretell or control your future. The only power they hold over destiny is how they cause you to act. They invite you to take a look at yourself and your life, and motivate you to reach for the stars.
According to gossip, The Housewives Tarot was introduced by housewife extraordinaire Marlene Louise Wetherbee in the early 1950s.
