One of the most common questions tarot readers get is: “How often should I get a reading?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all — it very much depends on your intention, situation, and how you use tarot as a tool.
I have gently refused to give readings to people who want follow-ups too quickly. Of course there’s a worry that they’ll go elsewhere and I’ll lose them as clients, but I’m pleased to say that this hasn’t happened. (Not that I’m aware of, anyway.) People do respect if I don’t feel it’s ethically or spiritually right to give another reading too soon after their first.
If you’re consulting tarot for insight on a specific issue, it’s best to wait at least a few weeks before asking the same question again. This gives you time to reflect, take action and allow energy to shift. Asking too frequently, especially with the same question, can lead to confusion and conflicting messages.
For general guidance or spiritual check-ins, a monthly reading can be a healthy rhythm. This allows you to stay in tune with your path without becoming overly reliant on the cards. Some people benefit from quarterly or seasonal readings, especially around big transitions like a new year, birthday or career change.
However, there’s no “wrong” frequency. The key is to avoid dependency. Tarot should empower you, not make you feel stuck or anxious. If you find yourself needing reassurance from the cards constantly, it might be a sign to pause and ground yourself before coming back for another reading.
Ultimately, it’s important that you trust your intuition. When something feels unresolved or unclear despite your best efforts, that might be the right time to check in with the cards again.
Tarot works best when approached with patience, intention and respect for the process.

Leadership isn’t just about strategy and data — it’s also about vision, intuition and timing. That’s where tarot can become a surprising asset for business owners.
Through readings with business owners – including start-ups and sole traders, I’ve seen first-hand how tarot can support them as they face tough decisions or look for clarity.
A tarot reading doesn’t predict your future, it helps you make sense of the present and determines the path you’re on. If it turns out that’s not a path you’d choose to go down, you become empowered to change direction.
A tailored tarot session can bring to the surface factors such as hidden influences, internal biases or overlooked opportunities. Think of it like a guided journalling session, except instead of staring at a blank page, you’re responding to rich imagery and symbolism designed to prompt reflection.
Business owners often carry a heavy mental load – especially SMEs, as we’re expected to deal with everything. Tarot can create a space to step back, reset and reconnect with what really matters. Whether you’re preparing for a big pitch, planning a restructure or exploring a change in focus, tarot can help reset your ‘internal compass.’
I conduct readings with busy people over Zoom or WhatsApp, making them easy to schedule into a busy calendar. They’re confidential, insightful and tailored to your professional context.

Comments Off on How Tarot Can Support Leadership and Decision-Making in Business
I’m being asked more and more frequently to support businesses’ growth and planning by asking the tarot for guidance. Many people look astounded when I mention this – especially if it’s at a networking event.
Tarot cards aren’t just for personal insight — they can definitely also offer valuable guidance for your business. Whether you’re a startup founder facing uncertainty or a seasoned entrepreneur navigating growth, tarot readings can provide fresh perspectives that help you move forward with confidence.
Each card in a tarot deck holds symbolic meaning that can reflect challenges, opportunities, or unseen influences. A well-structured tarot reading can help clarify decision-making, identify hidden obstacles, or spark new ideas.
For example, the Three of Pentacles might highlight the importance of collaboration, while The Fool could suggest it’s time to take a calculated risk.
Many business owners turn to tarot during strategic planning, brand development or even team restructuring. It’s not about predicting the future with certainty, but rather about uncovering themes, intentions and mindsets that may be shaping outcomes.
Tarot brings intuition into the often analytical world of business. By blending strategic thinking with intuitive insight, you can make more balanced, aligned decisions. A reading doesn’t replace research or logic, but it can enhance them, offering clarity where things feel stuck or unclear.
In short, tarot is a creative, empowering tool that can support business vision, alignment, and growth.

There’s something irresistibly eerie about Halloween. We fill our homes with cobwebs, carved grinning pumpkins, and indulge in horror movie marathons. But Halloween as we know it – Cadbury’s Heroes, Asda costumes, and parties – is a modern mashup. Travel back a few centuries in the UK, and Halloween was celebrated in quite a different style. So gather around the bonfire as we explore the fascinating, and often quirky, history of Halloween in Britain!
Pre-Medieval:Samhain and Bonfire Nights
The roots of Halloween are as ancient as Stonehenge. In early Britain, the Celts celebrated Samhain (pronounced “Sow-in”), marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time when the veil between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. There were no skeleton onesies or cat ears in sight, but the Celts believed that spirits could return to Earth. To fend off these spirits, they lit large bonfires and made offerings of food to appease the souls. (Actually they were called “bone fires” because people would throw the bones of animals into the flames! No marshmallows, though!
Medieval: Soul Cakes and Fortune Telling
By the medieval era, Halloween’s spooky appeal had evolved into something of a charity event. “Souling” was the thing to do on All Hallows’ Eve, where groups of poor people would go door-to-door offering prayers for deceased loved ones in exchange for soul cakes (small, round, spiced cakes with a cross marked on top). Picture it as a more sombre version of trick-or-treating, with prayers instead of sweets.
17th and 18th Century: Witch Trials and Superstitions
Halloween’s popularity took a dark turn during this period, as fear of witches and the supernatural reached fever pitch. Witch trials were rife, with innocent people accused of consorting with the devil, casting spells, and generally being too spooky. To protect themselves, many people started carving turnips into grotesque faces and placing them in windows to ward off evil spirits. Imagine trying to hollow out a rock-hard root vegetable rather than a nice, plump pumpkin – hardly Instagram-friendly!
Victorian Era: The Rise of the Halloween Party
The Victorians loved all things macabre, and by the late 1800s, Halloween parties were growing in popularity. Fortune-telling games were all the rage, as guests would stare into mirrors by candlelight to see the face of their future partner, or crack open walnuts to read their “prophecies.”
Early 1900s: Mischief Night
The early 20th century saw the rise of Mischief Night, a precursor to modern Halloween pranks, with kids sneaking around playing Knock down Ginger. Children would also dress up and go door-to-door performing a “trick” (like a song or poem) in exchange for a treat, often fruits or coins. This tradition eventually crossed the Atlantic, where it evolved into the “trick-or-treat” phenomenon we know today!
Final Thought: A Bit of Old, a Bit of New
Halloween in Britain has shapeshifted over the centuries, blending ancient superstitions, Medieval customs, and Victorian parlour games into the sugar-fuelled, horror-movie-watching, pumpkin-carving extravaganza we know today. Though we’ve swapped turnips for pumpkins, there’s something timeless about Halloween’s spooky charm.
So light a candle, carve your pumpkin and enjoy the haunted holiday, knowing you’re continuing this ancient spooky tradition, but with better treats!
