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.

Weekly Tarot based on your zodiac sign is commonplace. What we offer you is a more focused and personalized reading for the week ahead. It’s unique because we prepare your reading not just based on your zodiac sign, but also focused on the specific decan in which your birthday falls. There are three decans (10 degrees) in every zodiac sign. By doing so, we make the reading more granular and unique just for you! Find out which decan your birthday falls in and get your reading for the Week Ahead.
Being forewarned is being forearmed. Get empowered! Make informed decisions.

The week ahead (April 26-May 2) is expected to be more talk and less action.
Delusional energies are likely to prevail, while Saturnian pressures could force outcomes.
New thoughts are being seeded but these lack the momentum to grow.
There are strong positive intentions too. But they need adequate fuel to ignite.
Perseverance will pay and that requires patience and courage.
There’s a focus on communication, but in the absence of clarity, some conversations can be difficult to comprehend.
A tussle between self-interest and humanitarian considerations could shape the week quite randomly.
Navigating inner circles may also become a challenge.
Karmic influences hold sway, a reminder that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Given this backdrop, it’s important to think before you speak. Raise your intellect to higher levels of reasoning and sensibility rather than frittering it away in gossip.
It’s best to avoid impulsive decisions.
Tapping into your awareness would hold you in good standing.

[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…
Aries:
First decan (March 21-March 30)
The World
A matter is accomplished and this brings some sense of closure. Surrounding energies could be pressuring you to move on from here. You’ve done your bit and now you can look to restart.
Second decan (March 31-April 9)
VIII of Cups
There’s enough said and done. You only want your peace of mind. Things that you would have jumped at earlier, now don’t appeal anymore. Contemplate what you want to do next. But this week you can afford to remain detached.
Third decan (April 10-April 19)
VII of Pentacles
You may have control over your actions but outcomes can vary. This season you may have to wait it out. Another option can be explored. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Taurus
First decan (April 20-April 29)
The Sun
The week comes like a breath of fresh, vitalising energy. You suddenly realise all that you overlooked so there’s greater awareness. Any negativity that’s been lingering for too long gets diminished.
Second decan (April 30-May 9)
The Magician
This is a great week to communicate and network and get your job done. You feel a surge in your confidence and your intellectual abilities to address even the remotest of things that earlier appeared to be daunting.
Third decan (May 10-May 20)
Queen of Swords
As you gear up to take charge, this week brings better awareness and a sense of astuteness in dealing with anything that comes up. Raise your ambitions!
Gemini
First decan (May 21-May 30)
Wheel of Fortune
A turning point presents a good opportunity to make that shift your soul has been yearning for. It brings better awareness about how you want your life to flow. Think positively, as the surrounding energies are expansive.
Second decan (May 31-June 9)
King of Cups
You develop good control over your emotions and it’ll be easier for you to handle your relationships as well. Handle matters with compassion. The heart may know what the mind does not.
Third decan (June 10-June 20)
VI of Cups
Sweet memories bring cheer as you reminisce about the good old days. What or who do you think could play a role in your current situation? Seek out and allow your past experiences to help you out with your present-day issues.
Cancer
First decan (June 21-July 1)
The World
A sense of closure dawns upon you. You feel liberated as a matter of fact. If something feels stifling, this could be your cue to find a way to escape the situation. Hard work can be rewarding.
Second decan (July 2-July 11)
VIII of Cups
You feel detached emotionally and you just seek some quiet time to be by yourself. Material pleasures come with boundaries. And they aren’t always appealing. Seek peace within.
Third decan (July 12-July 22)

Your ego gets a boost as your accomplishments get noticed. Take on the mantle. A big responsibility lies upon you. Lead with conviction. But be humble.
Leo
First decan (July 23- August 2)
The High Priestess
You may get an intuition about a certain matter. Do pay heed to it. It’s important to listen to what your body is sensing. Try not to get overtly emotional or moody. A revelation could come to the surface.
Second decan (August 3-August 12)
The Magician
It’s likely to be a busy week with a lot of meetings and interactions lined up. If you are not the office-going corporate kind, use this time to communicate your views and ideas in unique ways. These are likely to be met with interest.
Third decan (August 13-August 22)
The Chariot
This is a week where you make your mark. You need to ensure you are ready to strike and choose wisely between the options before you. Keep your foot on the accelerator. Some of you may undertake a short journey.
Virgo
First decan (August 23-September 1)

You’ve set the ball rolling. Keep your vision intact. Growth energies surround you. Matters could begin to move smoothly as better awareness dawns.
Third decan (September 12-September 22)
The High Priestess

Libra
First decan (September 23-October 2)
IV of Cups
Stability could make you complacent. There could be opportunities that are probably passing you by. Be open to exploring some of them. You never know what works when and how!
Second decan (October 3-October 12)
The Hierophant
There could be a tad of rigidity which you either confront or project. Learn to be more agile and adaptable. If a situation demands that you stick to the norms, do the needful. If you are the one who is not willing to change, question that behaviour.
Third decan (October 13-October 22)
II of Swords
A situation demands that you make a choice either way. Allowing a stalemate to persist may not be wise. Growth requires some action and it does not happen without making a decision.

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
