In this first “Anatomy of a Reading” video, I’m walking you through a live tarot reading for a volunteer, focused specifically on her creativity. The whole point is to show you what it looks like when I blend tarot with the natural world—because that’s genuinely how my brain works when I read. I’m pulling in nature symbolism, a little numerology and astrology, and letting the cards build a living, breathing picture instead of a flat “meaning list.” I also introduce (and demonstrate) my Creative Ecosystem Spread, which treats creativity like an actual ecosystem with different needs and seasons. We look at the overall landscape, the “dirt” conditions she’s creating in, what “leaves” can sustain her, how the “flower” of her work feeds others, and what “stem” structure needs to be in place to keep creating. Then we get practical with “harvest” steps to do now and “seeds” to save for later. Along the way, I feature several nature-rooted decks I love for this kind of layered reading, and I share why this multi-system approach helps me land on advice that’s both intuitive and actionable.
