Tarot FAQ’s

Not exactly. Tarot doesn’t set your future in stone. Instead, it reveals patterns, possibilities, and potential choices based on your current path. Think of it like spiritual GPS: it shows you where you are, where you’re headed, and how to make conscious choices along the way. A common misconception is that Tarot must be either predictive or psychological – when in truth, it’s both. It offers a mirror to your inner world, helping you see possibilities, realign, and make empowered decisions.

Tarot isn’t tied to any specific religion. While some people approach it spiritually, others view it more as a psychological or intuitive tool. My personal style blends intuitive insight with grounded guidance, and I always honor your beliefs and boundaries.

Great question! Tarot has a specific structure: 78 cards divided into Major and Minor Arcana. Oracle cards, on the other hand, are more freeform—there’s no set number or structure, and the meanings can vary widely. I love both, but I believe Tarot gives us a deeper, more nuanced narrative.

Absolutely, anyone can benefit from a Tarot reading! Whether you’re brand new to Tarot or a seasoned practitioner, the cards speak to all kinds of people. My clients come from all walks of life—if you’re open to reflection and insight, you’re in the right place. While Tarot can sometimes be used to glimpse future possibilities, its true power lies in helping us connect with Spirit and our intuition, tapping into the wisdom within. A Tarot reading provides clarity, insight, and perspective, helping us move through life with greater intention and trust. In many ways, the Tarot is a mirror for the soul, illuminating what’s ready to be seen and guiding us back to our own inner knowing.

It depends on the type of reading. I might pull three cards for a quick check-in or a full ten-card spread for deeper insight. Sometimes the cards guide me to pull clarifiers, too. The number of cards isn’t as important as the clarity and depth they offer. Even a one-card reading may be packed with information!

Yes—deeply. Tarot’s rich imagery and symbolism speak to your subconscious. The colors, images, and details all contribute to the message. I read intuitively and traditionally, so I blend what the imagery says with what I feel and sense.

Ah, the so-called “scary” cards! They often get a bad rap, but they’re actually about transformation and truth. Death isn’t about literal death—it’s about endings that lead to new beginnings. The Tower shakes things up, yes, but often in ways that clear the path for growth. I always help you see these cards in empowering ways. For a more in-depth look at these cards, check out my Blog on “Scary Cards.”

Not really—just come with an open heart and a question or area of focus if you have one. If not, the cards usually know what needs to be said. A little journaling beforehand can help, but it’s not required.

My sessions range from quick check-ins to full deep dives. Most readings are 30 or 45 minutes, depending on your needs. I also offer custom readings and packages if you’re looking for more ongoing support.

Yes, energy knows no distance. I’ve done powerful readings over Zoom and phone that are just as connective and accurate as in-person. I hold sacred space wherever and however we meet.

Absolutely! I love bringing Tarot to parties, retreats, and gatherings. It adds a touch of magick and depth to any event. Just reach out and we’ll create something aligned with your celebration.

Most of the questions I receive in readings tend to revolve around the major areas where we look for clarity and direction: love, work, career, and family. The key to a powerful Tarot reading is how you ask your question. Rather than looking for simple yes-or-no answers, aim to ask open-ended questions that invite insight, reflection, and guidance.

For example, instead of asking “Will John ever propose to me?” (which limits the Tarot’s ability to show the full picture), try asking “What do I need to know about my relationship with John?” or “What energy is influencing my romantic future?” These kinds of questions allow the cards to speak more deeply and meaningfully, revealing patterns, potential outcomes, and your role in shaping the path ahead.

Tarot is a conversation with your higher self—it works best when your questions come from a place of curiosity and openness rather than control or certainty. Think of it as asking why, how, or what’s next, instead of when or if.

I always recommend starting with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck—it’s the most widely used and has rich, easy-to-read imagery. Once you get the basics down, you can explore other styles and decks that call you.

Nope. It’s helpful to learn the core meanings, but your intuition is just as important—sometimes more so. Over time, you’ll naturally build your own relationship with the cards, one that blends knowledge and feeling.

Memorization is about learning the traditional meanings. Intuition is about listening to the story the cards are telling you in the moment. When the two work together, that’s when the magick really happens.

Yes! I offer Tarot courses that walk you through everything—from card meanings to spreads to developing your intuition. Reach out to me if you are interested! As as great place to start, I also recommend “Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom” by Rachel Pollack for a thoughtful, deep dive into Tarot’s wisdom.

A: Great question! Tarot isn’t a crystal ball—it doesn’t give fixed dates or exact timelines. What it can do is offer insight into what’s most likely to unfold based on your current energy and circumstances. Sometimes it points to timing cues (like seasons, pace, or stages), but it’s more about possibilities than certainties.

Remember, Tarot is a snapshot of the present moment. We always have free will—and that’s the magic of it. The cards help you make informed, empowered choices that can shape your path forward. 

Nope! Just come with an open mind and heart. Whether you believe in energy, psychology, or just need a new perspective, the cards have something to offer you. You don’t need to label it—just experience it.

Yes, if you’re open to it. I often use Tarot as a bridge to deeper spiritual guidance, and in some sessions, I work with the Akashic Records for even more expansive insight. Each session is tailored to your comfort level and needs.

Not at all! Reversals often indicate inward focus, delays, or areas needing attention. Sometimes they simply indicate that the energy of that card is diminished.
