When I first started out as a reader, I worked at a psychic fair. People would walk up to me and ask how Tarot cards work. I would tease that there were tiny gears in among the cards…. Of course, there are no real gears, but cards do what they do for very specific… Read more »

Adventures in Tarot Cards: the 8 of Swords, reversed
Doing a reading about love I did a reading online last week for a man. He was still in love with an ex-girlfriend from two years ago. She contacts him from time to time and he still lives in the hope that they will reunite. I had to tell him differently. I did a… Read more »
Tarot optimism: Reverse your cards and reverse your fortunes
I am going to paraphrase a commercial: Change your tarot cards and change your life. Tarot cards do not (as I have said before) predict what WILL happen, things can and do change. But when you get a lot of negative cards in a reading, you can look at the cards and see what you… Read more »
Finding your Tarot community
Do you do Meetup.com? I love it. It is a great place for me to find people who are interested in the same things I am. Most are free or very inexpensive to join. There are a variety of Tarot meetups to join. I love meeting with people on Zoom and talking tarot, but there… Read more »

Are you still working on your New Year’s Resolutions? Or like most people, did you give up on them? We like to think of resolutions as 8 of Wands—resolve to do it and it will take off on its own. Instead, resolutions are 8 of Pentacles, start practicing and you will get better over time…. Read more »
There are no rules in Tarot
When I teach a Tarot Class, I get asked about how we obtain our decks. Someone usually asks, it is true you have to be gifted your first deck? Well, no, that is a myth. I bought all my own decks and freaked out my tax accountant when I went pro because I could now… Read more »

My first inclination was writing a blog entry about starting new things. An aces entry. But I think this year we need to start with what we are done with in the old year before we begin again. So instead of Aces, I will discuss 10s. 10s in Tarot are endings. Some are happy, 10… Read more »
It WILL be a wonderful life!
I doubt if there is a person in America who has not seen the movie It’s a Wonderful Life at least once. Just in case you have been living under a rock for 70 years, I will refresh your memory for a moment. A man named George is having a terrible Christmas Eve. He is… Read more »
Boundaries and the Seven of Wands
I was surfing the internet and found an article about “hard to swallow truths your therapist had told you.” The only one I really looked at was: “I am tired of being the bigger person.” “Then stop hanging out with such little people.” Brilliant! It is so easy to say, I will be the bigger… Read more »
The Moon
Beginning of this month was a full moon and lunar eclipse. I do not do astrology so I am not sure what the significance of that is, except that it can be pretty to look at. The Full Moon was beautiful. The Moon in tarot is about dreams and visions. What you want to become… Read more »
