Justin is an SF Mission native and professional tarot reader with over 6 years of experience. I aim to provide an ethical, client-centered space that uses the tarot for self-empowerment and spiritual wellness.
As a querent (Latin for “one who seeks”), you’re the expert when it comes to your life and your relationship to tarot. I welcome participation and authenticity, and let the querent lead as I try to meet their unique needs. Bring your expectations — we’ll work with them!
I welcome openness and vulnerability, so it’s my responsibility to create a safe and non-judgmental container for each reading. I treat the querent with unconditional positive regard, and am prepared to hold an ethical, bounded space for difficult experiences and the shame, fear, and anger that come with them.
The cards don’t have static meanings; by design, every arcanum is always up for interpretation. Each reading should conjure an idea that is relevant and “alive” to the querent’s unique history. I keep a flexible framework that tries to account for diversity in class, gender, race, age, sexuality, culture, spirituality, and life experience.
At its best, tarot is primarily a way for people to share space together. I believe that magic only emerges from interpersonal connection, and so I treat the occult with a healthy amount of irreverence. It’s important to remember that tarot originated as a deck of playing cards – it’s supposed to be fun!
