At the beginning of a reading we will discuss what area of your life you’d like to know more about, and come up with a question you'd like to ask. I'll write this down as it helps to keep us on track during the reading, making sure we haven't deviated away from the question partway through.
Once we have a specific question in mind I'll shuffle the cards, which may take a few minutes. I won't talk during this time as I'm mentally going through each of the card positions in the spread, thinking about different aspects of the question.
I'll then cast a spread and go through each of the cards, reading intuitively what I see. I'll check in with you during the reading to see if I'm on the right track or to clarify any details.
At the end I'll try to summarise the reading and answer any questions you might have. Ideally at the end you should feel you have some practical information to take away.
Example questions could be:
* I'd like to get a promotion at work, what does the situation look like for me in the next six months?
* I'd like to move in with my partner, how will it work out?
* I'm trying to change my career path, can you tell me what are the likely outcomes for me if I decide to do X or Y?
* Am I a good match with my partner? Is there longevity in the relationship?
* What does my love life look like in the next six months?
Other Questions You May Have:
Are there any questions I can't ask?
For ethical reasons I don't read on matters concerning health or finance. I would also recommend not asking 'yes' or 'no' questions as the Tarot is less adept at this kind of divination – it's much better at painting a picture and providing a narrative to an open question.
How does Tarot reading actually work?
While I don't claim to fully understand the mechanics, my personal belief is that we exist within an interconnected universal energy. Tarot serves as a tool to access this energy field, allowing us to pose questions and receive answers in a form that resonates with our subconscious mind.
Why are readings a minimum of 30 minutes?
Unlike shorter 15 minute sessions offered elsewhere, I believe in taking time to connect with you and fully understand your situation before consulting the cards. We'll discuss your question thoroughly to ensure clarity, and then I'll carefully shuffle while focusing on your concern. This approach simply requires more than 15 minutes to provide meaningful guidance that truly serves you.
Should I be worried if the cards show a negative outcome?
Not at all. The cards reveal likely outcomes based on current circumstances, but many aspects of life remain within our control. A primary benefit of getting a reading is to gain insight into actions you can take to change course if needed.
For example, if you're seeking a promotion but the cards suggest challenges, such as your colleagues don't perceive your ambition. We could use this information to discuss positive steps you could take to alter this, such as developing cost-saving strategies to demonstrate your value or discussing new responsibilities with your boss.
Are you psychic?
No! I work as an intuitive reader, interpreting what appears in the cards rather than accessing psychic abilities. The cards only reveal what you're open to exploring – and won't show me anything you don't want me to see.
