Note:  I am basing my insights here on the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck; if you are using a different deck these identifiers may be different for you.  I suggest getting out a magnifying glass and examining each card in your deck to find the hidden ‘pets’ in them!

    In general – if your client relates to their pet as their child, the pet could readily appear in their reading as one of the Pages in the d...

Tarot Tip #12 – Reading the Court Cards as multiple people in your reading

     When I teach my students to read the Tarot, I begin with the Court Cards, as most people find those the most difficult cards to read in a spread, even after they have memorized their various meanings.

     In earlier Tips I’ve discussed how to read them if they are upright versus inverted, how to derive their meanings from the quality of the suit, and how to interpret them depending if they fall into a present, past, or future position.  I even discussed some of the alternative meanings when you are interpreting them as something other than people.

     In this Tip we’re going to go deeper, and get a look at some of the biggest stumbling blocks for many tarot readers.  That stumbling block arises from the fact that one Court Card can actually represent many different people in your client’s life.  It’s also noteworthy that if my client is female, for example, all of the female cards in the reading should f...

One of my very favorite Tarot reading spreads is the 3-card spread.  I often use this to answer a question if I want a broader understanding than my 1-card simple technique can give, or if I want to take a quick look at a situation in my own, or someone else’s life, when a general overview is needed.  In fact, listeners to my Psychic Hour often ask me how I get such accurate information regarding their lives so quickly as I am answering their questions and describing their life situations.  During my Psychic Hours I often use this 3-card spread.  It’s simple and it’s brilliant.  Here’s how to do it:

If your reading is in-person you can simply fan the cards out on your reading table and have your client randomly choose three cards, face down, and hand them to you.  If you are reading for someone not present, you will need to ‘tune in’ to them by listening to their voice or focusing on their name, and then you draw the cards yourself as if you are them.  You will place them down on the ...

Hello Everyone,

Since I am launching my new Tarot Course for self-study this month, I wanted to focus on a couple of my favorite ways the Tarot can be used for Psychic Readings. 

I’m also including an overview of my favorite readings, and the costs.  Yes, I am still available for private sessions!

My very favorite use of Tarot  is to explore past lives. 

In my new online self-study program, The Tarot Part 2,  I teach my students how to use the entire deck of cards to track a karmic pattern from the lifetime of its origin all the way up to the present lifetime.  This is such a valuable reading when I do it for my clients!  Often they find the roots of present day phobias, or repetitive patterns in their relationships, or finally understand the reason they don’t like certain types of people, or have an uncanny sense of “I know you” regarding someone in their lives. 

When I do this reading the cards come alive in my hands and I see the people moving through those past lives as if i...
