INTUITIVE TAROT READINGS

I am 100% focused on a personal understanding and interpretation of the cards within the context of your unique situation. I am grounded and down to earth, easy to talk to, and gentle. I am also powerfully insightful into what you need and do not hesitate to speak clearly and honestly. That said, my delivery is compassionate and kind, so you feel supported and heard. My goal is to help you access deeper insight and greater joy.

You will be welcomed warmly into the virtual meeting place. I will check in with you and you can let me know how you are feeling. I will ask you to discuss what is going on that you wanted a reading about, and through that preliminary conversation I will begin to clarify your question(s).

After that, I will start to draw some cards. I will show them to you, let you examine them closely via the video screen, and then ask you to say anything that comes up for you when you look at them.

Then I will start to discuss the cards and the meaning she intuits for you personally and your situation. Readings with me are collaborative, and you will be asked to participate fully.

I will always ask if my words resonate with you, take your clarifying questions and comments, and respond authentically and honestly. As the reading continues, I may pull additional cards for more layers of meaning and clarity.

No matter what the cards indicate or how you feel about them, I will always stay present and grounded with you throughout the session. There is no right or wrong way to receive a reading.

As the end of the session approaches, I will ask for any last comments or questions, make sure you feel complete, and then the meeting will end.

When it is over, I will send you photos of all your cards and send you a link to the audio recording of your session so you can download it and listen again. You also have the option to decline the recording in which case, I will not record your session (the Zoom interface always lets you know if a meeting you are attending is being recorded).

Absolutely. It just requires you to start drawing cards and playing around with a deck (or decks) that you resonate with. Most decks come with a book that tells the basic meanings of each card. There are also courses and books you can study. However, most professional tarot readers will tell you that the best way to learn to read tarot is to do it. Always remember to trust your intuition about what a card means within the context
of the question being asked. Your intuition must be used in conjunction with any published information about meaning of a card. To get started, you can enroll in an Intuitive Tarot class or workshop with Uma. Check the Event schedule to see what’s

No.

The purpose of tarot cards is not fortune telling, as some seem to mistakenly think. Instead, a tarot reading is an exploration of your question or issue, using the symbolic meaning of the card or cards that are drawn to delve deeper into what is going on, what it means for you, what is called for from you and what you can learn from the situation. Oftentimes, a certain outcome may be indicated if you successfully meet your challenge, but this is much different from a prediction. It is always important to remember that the future is unwritten, and nothing can change that fact.

Tarot cards are a tool for self-understanding using symbolic imagery and words and consisting of two parts – the Minor Arcana and the Major Arcana.

The Minor Arcana is just like a deck of playing cards, with 4 suits and 14 cards per suit (ace through king). The Major Arcana usually includes 21 cards that are numbered Roman numerals I through XXI.

These days, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of tarot decks available. Many artists and writers have made their own decks and there is a plethora to choose from. There are also different kinds of “oracle” decks that are not tarot decks. What makes it a tarot deck is the structure described here.
