What is a Tarot Reading?

Tarot cards are a tool used by many intuitives to tap into the prevailing energies of the moment in order to gain insight into any situation.

At its most basic, a tarot reading is a drawing of cards from a tarot deck, laid in a pattern, then interpreted by the reader to address the inquiry of the recipient. Tarot cards consist of 4 suits called the Minor Arcana that correspond to the 4 elements of Western spiritual practices, and an additional 22 cards called the Major Arcana. Each suit of the Minor Arcana represents a type of energy (earth, air, fire, water) as well as signifying more day-to-day life messages, while the Major Arcana cards represent the steps of a spiritual journey of the soul. 

The tarot is powerful when a clear question or intent is designated and yet, in a general reading, the tarot can help give us direction when we are feeling lost and just don’t know what to ask.


The Tarot can help give information to a seeker in many circumstances: 

  • During times of great change and transformation

  • When making important decisions

  • When trying to decide between seemingly competing choices

  • To understand relationship dynamics between you and others:

    • you and your shadow aspects

    • you and physical things (cars, homes, possessions of all kinds)

    • or any other dynamic like with pets, illness, purpose, etc.

  • To help pinpoint direction on a project

  • To help identify blocks to progress, growth, or completion

  • Discovery of Deep Desire and how to get closer to what you want on the deepest level

  • Discovery of Deep Fear to help you bring shadow tendencies to light

  • When you know you need a kick in the pants

  • When you know you are going the wrong way and want an unbiased smackdown to course correct

  • When you are feeling lost and have no idea what to do

  • To connect to a deeper level with anything

When I use the tarot, my intention is to bring forth a depth of information and to uncover what is underneath the surface of what is being asked.

This deeper dive helps my clients see past circumstances and into their unconscious mind, motivations, and patterns, helping them to a greater understanding of themselves and their current situation so they may make choices from a place of what they truly desire. 

We (me and my guides) are NOT about ego pacification or superficial answers. We are about honest feelings, expressions, and uncovering the most potential for growth. This sounds a bit heavy, we know. But never fear.

This work is a joyful expression of support and delivered with levity, humor, and a good deal of profanity.


If you desire clarity about your life and your path, book a reading!
