Intuitive Tarot Card Readings | Poughkeepsie & Nearby Areas

Tarot has been used for centuries as a way to access insight, clarity, and a deeper understanding of life's questions. Contrary to popular myths, tarot is not about predicting your fixed future. It is about helping you explore possibilities, uncover hidden influences, and connect with your intuition. I am Cris Fort, a tarot reader and intuitive guide offering readings that are grounded, compassionate, and empowering. Whether you have a specific question, are facing a crossroads, or simply want to understand your current path better, tarot can be a powerful tool for reflection and guidance.

 

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?
  • Am I ready to take an active role in interpreting and applying the insights I receive?
  • Can I approach the reading with curiosity rather than fear?
