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.

This week (April 19-April 25), the ego surrenders to the higher power.
Elements continue to move towards attaining a balance that makes the operating environment easy to navigate.
Fired by Mars (cards associated with the planet appeared five times), new beginnings continue to influence the collective which appears to be drifting towards some closure.
Supporting Mars is the expansive energy of Jupiter. Turning points, transitions, and sudden events are likely to push the collective into a new realm that demands a structured, systematic approach.
The cards reveal that there is no personal power unless the collective makes a choice that is backed by awareness; one that busts any illusion that has lingered long enough for it to sustain.
Transformations do not happen smoothly unless one surrenders to the process and is awakened to the truth.

[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.]
Here we go…

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
