Caroline's Tarot. Traditional Tarot Card Reading, Dublin.

Hi, I'm so glad you found me!

I'm Caroline, and I read the Tarot here in Dublin, and am available for Tarot Readings all over Ireland as I deliver readings over email.

Of all the Tarot cards in the traditional Rider Waite deck, I relate most to The High Priestess' intuition and The Queen of Wands' enthusiasm! I also love The Strength card's gentle strength and The Star's possibility of hope and redemption.

Oh, and The Fool and his curious little white dog!

I have been using Oracle and Tarot cards for about 15 years - using the cards as a way of confirming intuitive messages.

Caroline's Tarot Reader, Dublin - Detailed guidance based on the traditional Rider Waite Tarot.

I use the traditional Tarot as much as possible, preferring the visual clarity of The Rider Waite Deck.

The Rider Waite deck narrates The Fool's Journey beautifully.

The Fool represents the innocent, untainted soul - full of curiosity and a good dose of naivety. His path, just like all of our collective paths, is to mature and blossom whilst navigating life's important lessons.

The Fools Journey is a journey through all life stages represented by the universal archetypes of the Major Arcana.

In the Minor Arcana, The Cups offer emotional guidance, The Wands, momentum and drive, The Pentacles, concrete suggestions and plans, and The Swords, mental clarity. They tie together the four elements - water, fire, earth and air.

No matter the question, the Tarot will give you sharp insight into the conditions you find yourself in now, as well as strong guidance for the path ahead.

Tarot is first and foremost about Transformation.

The Rider Waite Tarot excels at giving powerful answers to your deepest questions.

Some of my favourite Tarot cards are The Sun, The Star, The Empress, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Queen of Wands, The Ace of Cups, and The Nine of Pentacles

 And...wait for it... The Tower, 10 of Swords and Death.

Both the Ten of Swords and Death deal with finality, or a point of no return. it is the ending before a fresh start. Although daunting, the truth can set us free.

Personally, the more challenging the situation, the more I welcome a spread with lots of Major Arcana cards. Challenging cards are always an invitation to fully integrate challenging elements within ourselves.

Importantly, there are no negative cards in The Tarot, only opportunities for growth.

In fact, the cards that may invoke the most dread - The Tower, Death, The Hanged Man, and The Devil - as well as the more challenging Minor Arcana cards - are all about transformation.

The Tower is about a breaking apart old structures that no longer serve, Death brings about renewal, The Hanged Man is a state of suspension offering reflection, The Devil is about the prisons we create psychologically and from which we can always free ourselves - with conscious effort. Notice that the people in chains in The Devil card can escape their binds, and The Hanged Man looks serene because he is only suspended.

No matter your question, the Tarot will reveal an answer closely tied to transformation, and most transformation is first and foremost about Self-transformation.

No wonder the Tarot is so closely linked to astrology - with major cards of Transformation linked to planet Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, and ultimately, an invitation towards authenticity and Truth. As with astrology, The Moon reveals unprocessed emotion, The Sun illuminates the core Self and The Empress is strongly Venusian and associated with fertile, nourishing Taurus, both Mother Earth and beautiful seductress. Like astrology, Tarot deals with the language of universal archetypes.

Much like The Hermit card, or the Wise Man archetype, the Tarot is a way to light our own lamp and look inwards.

We are master of our own destiny, and The Tarot when used well, can help illuminate the path.

Even after collapse and deep transformation, there is a new hope, a new beginning.

The Star...

Consider the double edged truth of a Swords card. For example, The Ace of Swords that delivers piercing clarity - but is it what you had hoped for? What are you not seeing?

The Ten of Swords may signal rock bottom, but from there, things can only get better. This card may herald the "dark night of the soul", yes, but it also means there is a new dawn.

Then we can consider the Tarot cards reversed...

The Empress reversed means her nourishing, abundant, resplendent, feminine energy has gone to waste - her passion has waned, her boundaries have collapsed or else have become rigid and impermeable. Abundance may have given way to excess, generosity into selfishness and even, cruelty. Her gorgeous feminine energy has been hijacked...but why?

About Caroline's Tarot Readings - What To Expect.

Rather then using classic spreads like the Celtic Cross, I pull the cards intuitively.

I often pull 3 cards horizontally to represent recent influences, the present moment, the near future and the likely outcome.

Upon the present moment (the middle card) I like to stack cards, and the number can vary. Each stacked card, from top down, represents pressure on the current moment, or the aspects activating upon, or influencing, the present circumstances. This can lead to a particularly nuanced or layered reading.

This stack can be incredibly revealing. For example, let's say the present moment is depicted by the 3 of Swords (Heart Break). The cards stacked upon it may show the "why" of this heart break, or other aspects to consider in this situation presently.

Perhaps immediately above the Three of Swords is stacked The Six of Cups (soul mates, sweetness, nostalgia) and, above this, The Knight of Cups (a quest for true love, romance) and then, finally, at the top of the stack, The Page of Wands, (a spark of desire to reach out).

 We can conclude that this heart break (3 of Swords) is not necessarily foretelling of a gloomy ending - that the circumstances around it are still, genuine heartfelt affection, and above all, the desire to reach out and perhaps to make amends. Pages are messengers after all.

I often will draw a card to the far right of the main spread - as a final outcome, or all encompassing message of clarity.

I will always pay close attention to flying cards, cards that slide out from others that are being picked, or those rare ones facing up rather then down. And, of course, the classic reversed cards. Every card has a shadow meaning.

It took me a little while to decide how I wanted to read the Tarot. Specifically, how far into the future I wanted to see for people. How much of the "fortune teller" aspect I wanted to embrace.

I prefer to look at Tarot, not as a fixed reading of the future, or a "destiny" set in stone , but as a mirror where we can see the influences upon us in the present moment, as well as the possible shape of things to come - all the while knowing we are free to change course.

In the end, I decided that the present moment always contains Grace - and the opportunity for a change of course. We can receive help and guidance at all times, even when we least expect it.

Tarot Card Love Readings

Always popular!

In a romantic love reading, The Lovers may well be the desired card to have, particularly as the outcome!

There is also the Two of Cups, Knight of Cups, and other cards that show love and passion. The Six of Cups often reflects a soul mate relationship, The Devil is a strong card of passion as well as compulsion, obsession and toxic relationships. The Devil is more a psychological prison of the mind then a literal entrapment.

However for a full story, other cards are necessary to paint a strong portrait of your relationship. Is the balance of giving and taking equal? (Six of Pentacles), is there defensiveness? (Nine of Wands), deception of some kind? (Seven of Swords). Or perhaps a celebration on the horizon?(Four of Wands)

Perhaps, it's as good as it gets for a Romance Reading...
