The best way to build your Tarot reading skills is, of course, through practice. But that's easier said than done! Reading for yourself can be a challenge. Being objective is not easy. You're likely to second-guess yourself, and that makes it hard to build confidence and develop your intuition. When you read for someone else, though, you're often able to get instant feedback on your interpretation of the cards for the querent. Knowing when you're connecting and on track is validating. It also helps to see the cards through the experiences of others. However, gaining proficiency reading for others can be difficult, as well.

What makes you feel loved and connected? Is it belly laughing over a shared joke, spending quiet time together, doing something creative, or showing and receiving kindness? The sign that Venus occupies in your chart holds some of the answers. It shows how you give and receive love, what you find beautiful, and the things that bring you joy.

This Reality is envisioned as a sacred oak tree (Drvo Svijeta in Croatian) at the center of the Universe. The Tree's middle realm is the domain of living people and the creatures with which we share this earth.1 One of the most revered creatures among ...
For years, I've had the same conversation with single clients and friends searching for love. They'd tell me about people who were interested in them, dates that went nowhere, and a general sense of frustration. When I'd ask what they were looking for in a partner, I'd get vague answers: "Someone nice," "A good person"… or silence. The problem wasn't that they were too picky or not trying hard enough. The story was written right there in their birth charts. Your birth chart holds much more than just your Sun sign personality or your Venus sign love language. It contains a complete map of your relationship story, including the patterns that keep you stuck and the keys to breaking ...
