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 (August 30-September 5) could bring intense transitions due to sudden events and revelations with emotional undertones__with cards like The Tower and Death appearing twice and The Hanged Man appearing thrice.
Anxiety is indicated because of futile attempts to fight the change.
Being impulsive may not help either. The energies are likely to amplify that which surfaces.
Moderation is necessary to maintain balance and allow positive energies to take precedence.
In the absence of Saturnian energies, matters are unlikely to take root or materialise, which offers reason to view these occurrences as mere illusions.
Resistance, on the other hand, will only prolong the process.
One is advised to surrender to the external forces and facilitate a reset.

[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.]

It’s an action-oriented week where your hard work could bring the desired results but you need to bring more awareness around how your work is perceived.
Taurus

The Tower

Gemini
First decan (May 21-May 30)

Second decan (May 31-June 9)
The Hanged Man
You need to get clarity on this before you unleash what’s bothering you from the depths of your mind. The matter may require you to let go of any hesitation and allow change to happen.
Third decan (June 10-June 20)
Temperance
You need to maintain moderation and be accommodating this week. Take it easy especially if you are travelling, which could bring stress. Stay tuned into what you need emotionally and stay grounded for stability.
Cancer
First decan (June 21-July 1)
IX of Swords
You may get a bit anxious about what you said or what your mind is ruminating on. Let go and take care of your mental health. Nothing is worth wasting your energy on.
Second decan (July 2-July 11)
Knight of Wands
You may get all charged up with a strong hold on the task at hand. Ensure you are a bit diplomatic and grounded and not one to burn bridges.
Third decan (July 12-July 22)
The High Priestess
No matter what the revelation, you must endure the repercussions based on where your mind is focused. This week could bring to the surface a matter that you thought was long done with. Don’t overreact.
Leo
First decan (July 23- August 2)
Knight of Swords
What you are looking for may not be found through brash demeanour. Calm down and adopt a focused approach to achieve the same. A situation could trigger a reaction this week.
Second decan (August 3-August 12)
Page of Pentacles
What you aspire for is within your reach. You feel secure enough to approach a person or a situation that can help you attain a better experience and thus a greater outcome as well. Be industrious.

You are blessed with unexpected gifts as you begin afresh. Keep your eyes fixed on your North Star and maintain a balance between your emotions and your expectations.
Virgo
First decan (August 23-September 1)
The Hanged Man
You may need to pause and reflect deeply on the emotions that could surface. There’s no point fighting these tides. Allow them to rise and fall as is the nature of life. Surrender yourself to the flow of life and allow change to come.
Second decan (September 2-September 11)

III of Cups
Your emotions are on a high. It could either be due to a get-together with friends and family or just a surge in spirits that brings goals closer to reach.
Third decan (October 13-October 22)
The Hermit
When your mind enlightens you on a certain matter, you shut out all outer senses to listen and gain awareness. You may want to spend some time alone to listen to your higher wisdom. This is important to get a better understanding of a certain situation.
Scorpio
First decan (October 23-November 1)
Temperance
You need to bring moderation in all that you undertake. What you blend this week, could result in better gains later. Be open to fresh energies as past experiences don’t matter.
Second decan (November 2-November 11)

Transformations bring necessary changes. Keep an open mind and go with the flow. A sunrise is at the horizon. It beckons you to elevate your spirits and rise along with it.
Sagittarius
First decan (November 22-December 1)

Capricorn
First decan (December 22-December 31)

Aquarius
First decan (January 20-January 29)
IV of Swords
Take a pause this week. Rejuvenate. Let matters wait. Refresh your mind to allow for a better perspective to emerge. This is not the time for aggressive communication or action.
Second decan (January 30-February 8)
IX of Swords
You may be stressing too much about something that transpired. It could be of importance but it shouldn’t cost you your peace of mind. Relax and sleep on it.
Third decan (February 9-February 18)
VIII of Pentacles

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
