Here is a rambly video on what to do when you receive cards that don’t make sense. Two takeaways: stop, drop, and lean into your intuition; and when the cards do not make sense, it may be a signal from the Universe that you are not meant to know the answer.
We will be exploring how to sit with the cards that come up in a reading during this coming Saturday’s Reading Lab. Whatever the 1-3 cards that come up for a querent’s question will be what it is. There will be no clarifying cards allowed for this Reading Lab. We will learn to identify where our Intuition really speaks from when we are doing our readings.
Join Poised to Leap to join the monthly Reading Lab sessions. If you want to work with me more closely, consider the Moon Dancer, Cosmic Seer, or Rebel Soul tiers.

Have you reached a plateau in your Tarot studies? Are you struggling to connect the dots in your Tarot readings? Would you like to learn from someone who lives and breathes Tarot?
We will start with the suit of Cups. I will share tips and tools to help you unlock the magic of the Cups in your readings. Whether you are new or seasoned, there is something for you in this workshop. Become confident in your readings and learn how the Cups inform a reading or “talk” to the other cards on the Reading table.
There comes a time when things need to shift and change in order to move forward with ease and for me, that time has come. I am embracing the Death card period and leaning into saying goodbye to Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection, at least in its current form. No worries – you can now access much of the content on my YouTube channel playlist and for a small fee, you can receive the worksheets and PDF Tarot spreads in my Ko-fi Shop.
There are additional videos that are available to those who pay for the spreads and worksheets that are not fully accessible on the YouTube channel playlist.
I will still host periodic live streams discussing the various topics that were covered in the course – so stay tuned! We will still keep the discussion of curating our collections and practicing mindfulness in procuring new decks.
There will still be ways to LEARN and GROW in TAROT with me, by joining me over on Ko-fi, where my Poised to Leap Coaching/Mentorship resides, as well as upcoming courses and workshops for you to participate (whether or not you are a Poised to Leap member).
WHY THE CHANGE?
The time has come for me to close down the Abundant Life Tarot Academy on my website and move much of the learning/teaching environment over to Ko-fi. With this change, I will be closing the free Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection course. This course was born out of my 2020 Depth year experience and I still plan to make sure the content remains available for those who wish to watch it.
Thanks to all those who took and completed the free course, participated in the lives and Zoom calls, and were so supportive of the message I was conveying to the tarot-collecting community.
My deck wishlist has grown to a whopping 24! I used to only manage to keep about 2 to 3 decks on the wishlist when I was in my waxing phase of my collecting. Now that I am not buying as many decks, the wishlist has grown, yet I still aim to be quite discerning on what I ultimately add to the collection.
Some honorable mentions not included in this video, but are hanging out in my Amazon cart are:
✨The Unfolding Path Tarot
✨Rebel Heart Tarot
✨Fifth Spirit Tarot
✨Dream Ritual Oracle Cards
Do you keep a deck wishlist? What is on it at the moment? What has hung out on your wishlist, but you then ultimately decided to take it off the list? Share in the comments section!!
Here are some of my favorite ways to predict timing in Tarot and Oracle Readings. What is your favorite way to predict timing in readings?
I mainly use Tarot for timing or to get a general understanding of when something may or may not happen. I then refine the information with my Divinatory Dice or timing Oracle decks.
Thanks so much for watching!

A viewer asked the question – how to read Tarot and Oracle cards together in a reading. In this video, I’ll share a bit about my card reading style and demonstrate how I read Tarot and Oracle cards to answer a querent’s question.
What is your reading style? Do you combine Tarot and Oracle? Do you use Oracle as just a clarifier in a Tarot reading? What works best for you? Do you have questions? Share in the comments section!

Here’s a video giving you the latest on ALT channel updates, giveaway coming soon, MMM videos, and more. Many of you have seen a drop in my video content over the last month or so and that’s because I have been doing a lot behind the scenes. The Everyday Enchantment Tarot study in the Facebook group has kept me quite busy – but I am loving every minute of it. I also have been working closely with my Moon Dancer and Rebel Soul members in our mentorship/membership program Poised to Leap over at Ko-fi.
I am looking for case suggestions for Mystery Mystic Mondays. I will be resuming MMM readings on Monday, August 1, 2022. Submit your case suggestions here: https://forms.gle/x2Qbd3iyL9CYttg49
Tarot Love Clinic (TLC) livestreams will be resuming in August, too! We’ll be doing collective readings, catching up, and I’d like to do a Q&A session, too.
As we near 3500 subscribers on the channel and 500 Facebook group members, I am thinking we celebrate with a giveaway and a virtual party. My channel anniversary is coming up and I can’t think of a better occasion than to offer a giveaway – stay tuned!
Readings
Did you know I offer readings here on the website and in my Etsy shop? Check them out! I have been adding reading listings to both sites and I would love to do a reading for you. The ways to work with me are down below.
Abundant Life Tarot Academy
I’ve decided to retire one of the two courses I offer on my website and wanted to keep you all in the loop about the upcoming changes. I do still plan to offer live Zoom webinars where we can interact in a live setting.
The Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection course will be retired as of August 9, 2022. I will be creating a tab for it on the site, so that you an find the videos, spreads, and worksheets easily.
The Discover YOUR Reading Style course will be offered, but in a different format after August 9, 2022.
Sometimes you just need a little help in interpreting the card meanings. After you’ve studied several books, watched countless Tarot videos, participated in a few Facebook groups or even taken a course, give this video’s tip a try.
