Tarot and Soul

The High Priestess In twenty years of professional tarot practice, I have been asked thousands of questions. Questions about love. About career. About family, health, money, timing, direction. Questions asked with hope, with fear, with desperation, with curiosity. Questions that took courage to ask out loud. But there is one question that sits underneath almost all of them — one that people rarely ask directly, but that I hear in the background of nearly every reading I give: Can tarot actually tell me what's going to happen? It's the right question to ask. And after twenty years, I have a very specific answer. It's not the answer most people expect. The Question I've Been Asked More Than Any Other "Can tarot predict the future?" People ask this in different ways. Sometimes directly — a new client sitting across from me for the first time, wanting to know what they're actually dealing with. Sometimes indirectly — through the way they phrase their questions...

Death In twenty years of tarot practice, no card has walked through my door with more fear attached to it than this one. People see it across the table and go still. Some laugh nervously. Some ask me to put it back and draw again. And almost everyone, in the first moment of seeing it, thinks the same thing: Is someone going to die? I understand that reaction completely. The card is called Death. It shows a skeletal figure on horseback, moving through a landscape where figures lie fallen. It is not a subtle image. It was not designed to be. But in twenty years of readings — thousands of consultations, hundreds of times this card has appeared — I have never once read it as a prediction of literal death. Not once. What I have read it as, every single time, is something that is both more ordinary and more profound than that: the end of something that needed to end. And the beginning of what comes next. Today I want to share what the Death card actually means — in general readings, in love ...

The Lovers In Part 1 of this series, I walked through the general method I use for yes or no tarot readings — the four steps, the three types of questions, and the cards I find most reliable for binary readings. Today, I want to go somewhere more specific. Because in twenty years of tarot practice, the yes or no questions that arrive most consistently — the ones that carry the most weight, the most hope, and the most fear — are almost always about love. "Does he still have feelings for me?" "Will we get back together?" "Is he thinking about me right now?" These questions sound simple. They are not simple. And reading them well requires something different from reading a general yes or no question about timing or opportunity. Today I want to show you exactly how I read these questions — and which cards I've come to trust most when someone's heart is what's actually on the line. Why Love Questions Are the Hardest Yes or No Before I get into the s...

The Sun The most common question I receive — not just in tarot, but as a general pattern across twenty years of consultations — isn't about love, or career, or money. It's simpler than any of those. And harder. "Just tell me yes or no." I understand why people ask this. When you're in the middle of something uncertain — waiting for an answer, facing a decision, caught between two directions — the desire for a clear, binary response is completely human. You don't want nuance. You want to know. And tarot, honestly, is not always the easiest tool for that. But after twenty years of practice, I've developed a way of working with yes or no questions that I trust — one that takes the question seriously without pretending the cards are a coin flip. Today I want to share that method, along with the cards I find most reliable for binary readings and the questions I've learned to ask before I ever draw a single card. Why Yes or No Is the Hardest Question in Taro...
