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.

Balance has emerged as the key theme for the week ahead (September 6-September 12).
Whether in partnerships, health and well-being, or day-to-day work-life, the Justice card pulled thrice is expected to regulate and restore balance.
Supporting this theme is the number two, which has appeared six times.
Furthermore, cards associated with Libra have also appeared six times, bringing the spotlight firmly on partnerships — be it at home, in business or in any sphere.
Partners play a critical role in maintaining karmic balances. They keep egos in check through confrontations.
We often reflect on our lives based on what we see in our partner's eyes.
If someone has come into your life at this point, understand the purpose they are likely to serve.
Get a sense of where you stand in the various aspects of your life. You attract the elements that you believe you lack. To feel self-sufficient is to believe in one’s worth in being complete.
Surely, be grateful for what your partners bring to your life because, no matter how bitter an association or an event involving a partner, they bring a karmic balance to your soul.
Among the court cards, the Queen of Swords appears twice, and within Libra, III of Swords also got pulled twice.
Not every relationship can be intellectualised or rationalised. Allow some room for aberrations and errors. Partnerships don’t flourish with a ‘my way or the highway’ approach.
Sometimes lowering expectations can help maintain a balance.
Further, Saturnian energies prevail this week, making one duty-bound. Along with the earth element that is dominant this week, Saturn provides a platform for outcomes based on actions.
Cards related to the Sun are missing this week. Awareness could be clouded making it even more important to rely on the higher self for answers.

[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
