Talkin’ Tarot With Suzi (aka Starcana)

Tarot is a splendid strategy that we use to reflect the power of our spirit. Each of us are dealt a hand in life. To be our very best, we must learn how to play our cards well. If we listen and pay close attention, the cards will teach us ‘what to play’ and ‘what to hold’. This intuitive tool stirs our imagination, daring us to think outside the box and to stray upon unfamiliar roads. Tarot will speak to us like a close friend, mysteriously ‘knowing’ what we are experiencing, while brilliantly advising us to be aware, and to choose our next step wisely. It’s a secret language, and through careful translation, we receive insightful messages to steer us onto a safer route in our relationships, profession, and inner self. Tarot is a powerful communicator that invites us to have a heart-to-heart conversation with our soul. As we thirst for more knowledge and experience enlightenment, interpretations begin to alter and branch out, allowing our spirit to do the same. Once we know its infinite depth and true potential, we can begin to understand why its messages will never be set in stone.

2. How do you feel a client might get the most out of a reading with you?

Clients want a reading, but they also want to be able to confess their soul to a confidant or best friend. They want to be themselves, without feeling judged. What good is the magic of an outstanding reading, if they are embarrassed to talk about their feelings, uncomfortable to ask the real questions, and fearful to participate in the reading? If a burden isn’t released and brought to light, their dilemma will continue to contaminate their journey and potential. When compassion is shared with a warm, fun, and friendly conversation, I hope to create a memorable welcome mat, that allows them a cool place to return. Truth and guidance are the meat and potatoes of a reading. The client will quietly listen and evaluate the reader’s sincerity and performance to determine if there is a genuine connection. I’m a problem-solver, and the only way for an issue to be truly addressed, is to approach it honestly while facing the cold hard facts. As a professional and a spiritual individual, my objective is to help others to help themselves, by locating weaknesses while generating realistic solutions. It is important to build a strong foundation of trust with expertise and integrity, so that a client not only wants to listen, but also has a desire to learn and grow.

3. What is your best piece of advice for an aspiring tarot reader?

Tarot is a tool for both intuition and awareness. It should always be used to empower and guide for a higher purpose. Honor and respect must be present in your readings, the way you treat your clients, and to yourself. Reading is an art which is based on interpretation. Everyone will always have an opinion, which is a matter of perspective only. Never let judgments get in the way of your own path. The best artists are those who stay true to themselves and their unique style. Originality will always stand out from the crowd, so when the books aren’t working anymore, trust your own intuitive technique. Research other readers and make notes as to what you like, and what you don’t like, in regards to how you would like to represent yourself and your readings. Last, to avoid those unspoken fears, learn and follow the law in your state for performing readings, always provide the client with free will, offer crisis numbers, and create your own terms of what you do, and what you will not do.
