Reflections

I’ve had a bit of trouble writing up the 6 of cups and I realized I felt locked in.  I want to stress that while all the cards have stand alone meanings, it’s when find their place in the layout that their true significance comes out. I’ve read the 6 of cups in so many different ways, depending on where it was placed and which cards were sitting next to it, and that is true of all the cards.  I love sending these links to people after a reading,  but sometimes what I've said to them,  and what the blog says,  are subtly different.

So that’s what I want to write about today – that while I explore meanings here, it’s really how the cards blend, how they reflect upon each other that affects the reading. I’ve had cards come up in what I think of as ‘common distributions’ - situations that I've seen before. And then I’ve had cards come up in pairings I’ve never seen before, which makes me look really deeply at what the cards are trying to tell me. So, like the beams of light falling on each other, causing different colors to appear, the cards reflect against each other, giving different shades of meaning.

A new year, a new endeavor

Hello. I know it's February, (rather than January fifth, when I was thinking of snapping into action) but it's still early on, and here is my personal new year's resolution - I've been reading Tarot cards forever (over 25 years) but have decided to start a tarot blog which I'll update weekly or thereabouts and find new people to read for.

What is special about my readings?

I'm accurate, perceptive and will tell you what I see, good or bad. I use my skills as a qualified psychotherapist, (I couldn't use my tarot there - though I often wished I could) and I can discuss with depth and understanding any issues that may come up.

When I do a reading I often use 2 packs. I find this adds to enormously to the insights, as far more often than you would believe identical or very similar cards fall into the same places, which just helps clarify so much!

Also, I'm as the blog title says, I'm based in Tribeca, in New York city. Sadly I can't do phone readings - I've tried, and all I get is mud! But face to face, after you've shuffled the cards... it's amazing what is revealed.
