Intuitive Tarot Card Readings | Poughkeepsie & Nearby Areas
What is a tarot card reading?
A tarot card reading uses a deck of 78 cards rich in symbolism to explore the themes, patterns, and possibilities present in your life. Each card carries layered meanings that can shift depending on the question, the spread used, and the surrounding cards. In my readings, the focus is not on absolute predictions but on providing insight, perspective, and clarity that help you make empowered choices.
Most common signs you might benefit from a tarot card reading
You might be drawn to a tarot reading if you:
- Feel uncertain about an upcoming decision.
- Want clarity on a relationship, career move, or life direction.
- Sense repeating patterns but cannot pinpoint the cause.
- Are you seeking validation for an intuitive feeling?
- Wish to explore possibilities in a safe, non-judgmental space.
How do I know if I am ready for a tarot reading?
Ask yourself:
- Am I open to hearing perspectives that may challenge my assumptions?
- Do I want guidance that helps me reflect rather than dictates my future?

No. Tarot is simply a tool for reflection and insight. Like any tool, it can be used in different ways depending on the reader's intention. In my practice, it is always approached with integrity and respect.
