Astrology and Tarot are connected with each other. As many of you know, I have been flirting with astrology for some time now. Recently, I decided to learn it properly. I tend to view everything through the lens of Tarot, my first love. So, this year, I decided to embark on a journey, a “Decan Walk,” to understand astrology through the Tarot.

This is most probably because the cards have a wacky sense of humor. ?
Let’s see how we can make sense of these combinations, and do an excellent reading for our clients!
