Welcome!

Each reading is personal, each reading is yours, not mine. When I read the story of the cards you picked you know the characters, I just tell you about them.

I do not need psychic skills to consult the Tarot so they can be done long distance. I pray that I my intuition aids me, of course. I always try to be in a peaceful space when i am consulted (even in the most hectic surroundings). However, you can email me the cards you chose and the order that they ended up and I will answer.

Here is a sample reading for myself so you can see how easy the cards are. I did it with a regular poker deck. Clubs are wands / staffs and represent fire. Spades are swords and represent air. Hearts are cups and represent the water element. Diamonds are the earth element and are called coins or pentagrams in Tarot decks.

Below is a seven card spread I specialize in (this is an abbreviated reading).

1st) Ace of Clubs: Past -- Jonathan has recently found a fresh start, one that has inspired him to take action, move toward spiritual goals in this world and has also caused him to accidentally push to hard and he possibly started arguments.

2nd) 5 of Spades: Present -- Jonathan is finding a plan of his failing and is discovering that the best laid plans come to waste. He was obviously working toward an overblown goal or trying to make a project come together -- a project that had been more inspired by the impressive stories and tales of friends and associates in society, but that isn't really what he wants.

3rd) 6 of Spades: Future -- his purpose and actions will be toward finding answers and interesting things to do. It's a little like walking around a busy street and accidentally listening in on coversations that don't really relate to you but are answers to a question you carry in your head. That is a bit what the six of swords is about. He is seeking answers and will not stop until he is granted them. He is seeking out the mosting interesting events to do it in. He will seek his goals through talking, writing and working with others in the near future.

4th) Jack of Hearts: he is trying to live up to his most romantic notions and ideals and is focused on love in his life. His emotions are somewhat fickle and he is probably vacillating between over-stating his love and understating it. He is liable to cause confusion with others -- women and some friends, as his intentions are not yet clear to him or to others. He has offered his life or energy to another and not seen the true depth of what the commitment is. He probably is lustier than usual in his interests, or is making work and home decisions based on his attractions and .romance

5th) Queen of Swords: his mind is focused on a woman, probably. She would be a person of honesty and straightforward demeanor. She is not overly emotional and she doesn't lack compassion. She says her piece then lets it be. It also talks about him learning to accept timing in his life -- he is intelligent, honest, not willing to hide things but unwilling to be wholly exposed. He has learned a certain amount of balance. He is definitely learning or strenghtening his experiences as an intellectual so that ideas are stated and followed through in there own time, not on a forced schedule.

6th) 2 of Swords: He is getting out of bed in the morning to make choices. He has probably agreed to disagree with someone and is trying to make peace and make choices all the while keeping himself and friends on track in their lives. His spirituality is about making choices and having goals. Every idea and act in the world has its opposite event. He is seeing this more clearly than usual and finds himself surrounded by these sometimes obvious choices.

7th) 2 of Clubs: He is focused on sexual chemistry and communication in his relationships. He is finding a number of people who interest him and cause his energy levels to jump. He is focused on the long-term goals and who he voluntarily chooses to walk with toward those goals. His discussions are probably about religion, sex and politics. He is starting arguments that he doesn't intend to cause. He is testing his partners and friends to find if they are as strong in there beliefs as he is. He doesn't want to be tied to someone weak in beliefs, or who is in opposition to him and definitely not someone who is trying to overcome his beliefs.

And that is a basic reading.
