After fifteen years of reading tarot in New York City, I've seen thousands of people from all walks of life. CEOs worried about major business decisions, artists blocked creatively, people navigating relationship transitions, individuals facing health challenges. The questions vary, but there's something deeper happening in these sessions that most people don't understand.
What People Don't Realize About Readings
Most clients think they're getting a static snapshot of their future, like looking at a photograph. But that's not how this works at all. The moment you sit down for a reading, you're already shifting energy. By bringing conscious awareness to whatever situation you're asking about, you're changing your relationship to it. You start seeing patterns you hadn't noticed, possibilities you hadn't considered.

The Energy of Awareness
Here's what I've observed: when someone asks about a stuck situation, just the act of looking at it through the symbolic language of the cards begins to move things. Maybe they realize they've been approaching a problem from the wrong angle, or they suddenly see an option they'd overlooked entirely. That recognition alone changes how they move forward.
Why Readings Change
If you had two different tarot readers do a reading on the same situation just ten minutes apart, you'd get different results. Not because the cards are random, but because that first reading already shifted something. You've focused your attention, gained new perspective, maybe even made some internal decision. The energy around the situation has moved.

The Timeline Effect
People don't realize that divination isn't just revealing what will happen, it's participating in creating what happens. When you become conscious of certain patterns or possibilities, you naturally start making different choices. Small shifts in awareness create ripple effects that can completely alter outcomes.
This is why the real value isn't in prediction, but in the moment of recognition that happens during a reading. That's when people remember their own power to influence their circumstances.
