Frequently asked questions
What can Tarot Reading help me with?
Tarot can be incredibly helpful for gaining clarity on a wide range of topics: understanding relationships, navigating career changes, making big life decisions, identifying blocks to personal growth, exploring emotional challenges, or simply seeking general guidance and perspective.
What can't Tarot Reading help me with?
It's important to have realistic expectations. Tarot is not a substitute for professional advice in areas like legal matters, medical diagnoses, or financial planning. I also can't tell you exactly what to do, reveal third-party secrets without their consent, or predict lottery numbers! My aim is to empower you to find your own answers.
Do I need to believe in Tarot for it to work?
No, you don't need to be a staunch believer. An open mind and a willingness to reflect on the messages are far more important. The power of tarot lies in its symbolism and its ability to spark your own intuition.
What do I need to do to prepare for a reading?
For your reading, find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Take a few deep breaths to relax. Most importantly, think about what you'd like to gain from the reading. Having a clear question or area of focus will help us get the most out of our time together. If you're not sure, a general reading is always an option!
