I will add a brief introduction below as well as go into some common misconceptions that are out there that may be on your mind as well. I only want to promote the best growth for all involved and to do this we need to be on the same page and clear out possible negative thought patterns connected to a reading.

What Tarot can do for you!



The Tarot is a Deck of 78 Beautiful Cards. The deck can be separated in two; 22 Major Arcana cards which represent big changes in ones life, the bigger aspects, beliefs, emotions etc... And 56 Minor Arcana cards which can resonate with the everyday challenges and experiences that we go through. The Minor Arcana can then be broken down into 4 groups. There are 4 suits in the Minor Arcana which consist of: The Pentacles, Cups, Swords and Wands. Each Suit consists of 14 Cards. The Pip cards consist of: Ace - Ten where as the Court Cards consist of: Page, Knight, Queen and King.


The Devil card is a very misunderstood card. I know that the media and even our mass perception of the energy of "the devil" is the reason behind this. I want you to have the best experience you can with my readings and to do so I think we need to clarify what this card represents and clean up any mistaken perceptions about it.

First of all the Devil card in the Tarot is not an evil card. I know that it looks dark and uneasy to some but this is for good reason. It asks us to look at limiting beliefs, it asks us to look at things that we may not enjoy about ourselves or our situations and to really understand that bit about who we are. So you can see where it may seem to be a bad card or something sinister but in actuality its a card that is trying to bring up things to the front of the mind and to help you understand what is going on so that you can move on if you choose.


The Death card is another card that cause some to fear and want to look away. I will say this is one of my favorite cards. It is another card that is not as it seems. This card does not mean literal death but actually think of a Butterfly. It is not always a butterfly. The Butterfly is what emerges after the process of death of an old self and rebirth of a new. This is what the cards energy brings forth. Shedding something that does not serve you such as an old relationship, belief, thought etc.. and using your experiences from that to create a new life for yourself.


The Tower card evokes a lot of emotion from many who come in contact with it. When clients first come in contact with this card they get a bit nervous and ask "whats wrong" what "bad" have you seen? and I have to re-assure them that while this card seems to be very unhappy or negative it really isn't. The Tower does tell you that you may be building on a foundation that has not been grounded and is not sturdy and if you do keep building upon this it will break and it will topple over and things will start to fall down. I don't see this as a negative though. Depending on where this card comes up in a reading it gives great inspiration. If its the past it gives insight on how you are in your present moment, if its the present it tells you that you may need to re-evaluate certain experiences in your life and make sure you have a firm foundation before making any more commitments and if its in the future position it tells you to make sure to take real care of your current circumstances and don't jump into things without real thought right now.


Awareness - When you receive a reading information is provided to you that opens new doorways that you may of not ever considered. It gives you the power over your reality and it can provide a wide variety of options to challenges that you thought were already set in stone. So I definitely ask that if you are ready to open up to a reading then consider all possibilities. There are those who may not enjoy having the many options and routes that are provided to them by the Tarot and there are some who will love the newfound options. I want you to consider this. Once you look into it you cant really go back the same way you came. You don't have to accept what the cards have to say but you will be aware of what they say and so you will now have that on your mind if you choose or not to choose to listen to the advice being given. So ask yourself.. Do I really want to know?


Future readings can be fun but before you ask about your future know this... Nothing is ever set in stone. Don't let the cards or anyone for that matter tell you who or what you are! I'm serious. Don't even let me tell you something in your future for certain. The future is always changing, As a Psychic and Tarot consultant I am able to look to see what probabilities are there given your current beliefs and circumstances but if you decide to change and shift things in your life, your future changes. The beauty of this though is that if something comes up in a future position that you dont care for in your reading. You are given the awareness of it so you are given the ability to change it or learn to accept and heal with it. But like I said YOU have the power to create your reality and your future is in YOUR hands so don't allow anyone to take that from you.
