Tarot Readings
Our Tarot readings offer a framework for understanding and clarifying where you are in the story of your life, what new directions are calling you, and what you can focus on to create the future you desire.
All of our readers connect to the cards intuitively, correlating your questions and stories with the archetypes that arise in your session. Our goal is to help you recognize and embrace your gifts, understand and navigate challenges, and step into your calling with renewed commitment and enthusiasm.
Many of our clients report that what we describe in Tarot readings (or some variation of it) does come to pass. But we’re not in the business of forecasting your future. We honor the fact that you always have free will, and that you (and the Universe) possess full agency to shape the course of your life.
Our readings are a space to explore the biggest questions and concerns you’re holding, and chart a way forward that feels aligned, soulful, and resourced.
Here’s what clients say about Tarot readings with Cecily:
“Over the years, Typewriter Tarot’s readings have calmed me, inspired me, and focused me! Cecily is truly gifted — her keen intuition brings so much to the sessions. I feel she truly has my best interests in mind, and I always feel safe in her sessions. I’ve booked readings for a variety of reasons and every time I’m better for it.”
“Whenever Cecily pulls my first card, it always feels just right. Like the bell before a meditation, it pulls me into the story we are illuminating. Her card spreads always support my growth, reveal my areas of difficulty, and bring clarity of purpose to my professional journey as a psychotherapist and author.”
🔮 General Tarot Reading 🔮
1 hour / $165
We’ll spend an hour together (over Zoom) exploring any aspect of life you’d like to bring to the table — relationships, family dynamics, work, visions for the future, spirituality, creativity, or big upcoming decisions. We can explore several themes in a single reading. We can also dedicate a full reading to a creative project or collaboration, exploring various facets, challenges, and possibilities to help you continue your work with alignment and greater clarity.
I think of Tarot readings as conversations you get to have with your soul, your ancestors, and the benevolent forces of the Universe that conspire with you to craft your life story. We’ll explore what the cards have to share with you — bringing to light new perspectives, practical recommendations, and ideas for working with the messages in the cards.
We usually begin with a brief conversation about what’s on your mind and what you’d like to explore. From there, we create your reading together, and you get to bring new questions to the table as the cards reveal themselves. You’ll receive a recording of your reading, plus three journaling prompts to help you integrate your session.
📚 Main Character Tarot Reading 📚
90 minutes / $195
For storytellers who are crafting novels, short stories, and scripts, this reading focuses exclusively on your main character — the engine and the “beating heart” of your story.
Imagining fictional characters as psychologically complete and nuanced beings is challenging work, which is why I crafted a unique 12-card Tarot spread to help writers explore their main characters as rich and textured creatures.
This spread illuminates your character’s relationship to the past and the future, their inner world, their ambitions, and the challenges they might face along their journey.
In this 90-minute reading, we’ll explore the character map revealed in the cards, and the possibilities and opportunities this might offer you as the author in terms of plot, conflict, narrative climax, and resolution.
You’ll leave this reading with new clarity around story threads, plot opportunities, and thematic through-lines, which will help you craft a stronger, more compelling narrative in the long run. Think of this reading as an opportunity to talk with the spirit of your character and understand (then write!) them more fully, with more humanity, attention, and appreciation.
After your reading, you’ll receive a one-page summary of your spread with pictures of your cards, along with an audio or video recording (your preference), so you can revisit the messages from your session over time.
💖 Couple’s Tarot Reading 💖
90 minutes - $225
Curious what the cards have to say about your coupling?? A couple’s reading is a reading-for-two, exploring the strengths both partners bring to the relationship, and how your connection enhances life for both parties.
When two become one, a third is formed — the life and energy of the relationship itself. A couple’s reading brings definition and language to the nature of your match, and how each person is challenged and expanded through the partnership.
This reading is ideal for couples who are moving into a new phase of relationship — from new-relationship-energy to more routine togetherness, or moving toward marriage, cohabitation, or procreation!
This reading is also helpful for couples who facing difficulties in their partnership. The cards will bring attention to areas where both members of the relationship can grow, shift perspective, and release old patterns that stand in the way of intimacy and teamwork — so you can move forward together with greater love and solidarity!
