Tarot Cards: A Tool for Self Awareness

Tarot Card DeckMy goal in providing intuitive tarot readings is to be a source of support and serve in a counseling role for my clients. Tarot to me is a symbolic and artistic way to find answers within ourselves. The images on the cards are symbolic and ingite emotions within each person.

I am clairsentient, which means that I am empathic. I sense energies about people, things, places, and situations. I also receive flashes or visions from the other side to help individuals in a variety of difficult situations.

When performing a tarot reading, I always use my intuition and see how the image makes me feel. I teach these techniques to all my clients as we progress. I want my clients to be able to use the tarot for themselves to find their own answers and to practice using their intuition. Everyone has psychic abilities, they just have to awaken them and trust themselves.

Tarot is similar to art therapy. The use of images is the most powerful way to come into contact with powerful emotions within ourselves. Tarot really is a counseling tool. The deep, powerful answers that tarot leads us to are answers that we always have within ourselves. I am a guide to my clients and try to help them find their own answers within the images of the cards. The goal of my tarot readings is to offer a supportive atmosphere, where a client can feel comfortable sharing with me whatever issue they are struggling with. I use the tarot as a tool to help my clients gain spiritual guidance. The tarot is one of the most powerful psychological, counseling tools available.

My goal is to educate others about tarot and to show how astrology and tarot are connected. Below you can view a diagram which shows the connections.
