Embark on a transformative journey with Namrata Singh, a seasoned former business journalist with nearly three decades of expertise, now guided by the influential touch of Tarot. Melding journalistic prowess, she has transitioned seamlessly into the realm of Tarot, which has now become a profound life's calling. Namrata firmly believes that every moment encapsulates choices that shape our life's trajectory. Our chosen direction dictates our path, and each day unfolds a diverse array of possibilities. What door of opportunity have you opened for yourself today? Join us On The Tarot Table to discover more about the transformative power of these card readings.
Namrata, who was mentored on this path by experienced Tarot reader Sapna Shahri, has developed a unique style of reading. She believes for every question that arises in the mind of a querent, Tarot is the key that will help unravel the answer. We take decisions using our self-conscious minds and find it difficult to rise above the dualities and biases. Tarot can help us tap into the unconscious, showing us the mirror and revealing the path ahead. At some level, we are all connected. The answers lie in the ‘collective unconscious’, which can be tapped into by using Tarot as a tool.
While one makes a lot about destiny, Namrata says what really matters is how we act or react in the present moment. The past is unchangeable, and the future is an illusion. Interestingly, the key to our future lies in our free will in the present. One is empowered to make informed choices under the guidance of Tarot.
Namrata has released her book of poems titled ‘The Inner Realm’ which reveals her deep connection with nature and her life’s philosophy and spirituality. The book can be purchased here.

Major transitions are likely this week (August 9-August 15), driven by sudden events that may compel one to make choices and take new directions.
The tarot card Death, which represents transformations, appeared three times.
There is awareness for those who seek it. But since the majority of the cards pulled are from the Major Arcana, this indicates a strong influence of external factors over the week.
Your inner circle continues to be the focus this week as well with cards associated with Gemini appearing four times.
Matters that come to light could get spotlighted and amplified.
Karmic forces prevail.
With the minor suit of cups entirely missing this week, emotions could run dry, though the Queen of Cups is providing soothing energy and the Knight of Cups is urging us to move on.
But one may also encounter feelings of emptiness in the heart given that cards related to Cancer are missing.
It’s when you feel the ground beneath your feet but the roots are missing.
It’s that feeling when an otherwise peppy number plays at a slow tempo in your mind.
With cards associated with Aquarius also missing, the feeling is more about being lost in a crowd__ when gains, social networks and visions don’t matter, because your cup appears empty.
Such situations facilitate change to happen faster. Transformative energies are likely to swiftly fill this vacuum.
There could be a temptation to resist the change. But the more you avoid it, the more difficult it becomes to move on.
The Kings are missing this week, so the maturity to handle such situations could be lacking.
Consciously make efforts to bring love and compassion into your dealings.
Allow change to occur and move at its pace. Surrender to the process with faith that wherever you land, you land like a feather and whatever you become it will be a better version of yourself.
Trust the process!

[Unlike other columns on zodiac signs, I make efforts every week to bring out decan-specific readings for the twelve Sun signs. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into three decans (10 degrees). This makes the reading more focused and accurate. It also provides better cues for the collective whole.
Which decan of the zodiac does your birthday fall in? Given below are the decan-specific tarot card readings for the respective Sun signs.]

Namrata prefers to have a collaborative dialogue with the querent to delve deeper into the issue at hand to enrich the readings. Namrata encourages you to provide honest insights regarding any issue you want to discuss over a Tarot reading. You can rest assured that your privacy will be protected. She is committed to read the cards for you to the best of her capabilities and will be open to follow-up sessions if required. The sessions do not end with just one question or one reading, there’s enough information that can be revealed in an hour’s time.
Cards can only offer insights and advice. The responsibility of owning up to a decision lies with the querent.
Namrata will not entertain any questions that are unethical. For instance, refrain from asking questions around the gender of a child if you are in the family way. She will not encourage questions around health issues that require medical attention or legal matters that are best settled in courts. She can, however, help you decipher through Tarot how one can cope better in life in such circumstances.
At any point, if Namrata feels uncomfortable with the question raised or the querent, she holds the right to decline a reading.
A querent will be charged a fee only after a reading is over. For any further doubts/queries, write to us at namratasingh.ns@gmail.com
