Use this spread! Everyone falls in love. And everyone gets their heart broken. One of the most common questions you will be asked over and over is how your client can get the love they want. How can they find someone (they want) to worship them? How can they get in a relationship they want to be in?

This is what people pay for — in matchmaking services, dating apps, an endless amounts of money on makeup, fashion, fancy cards, and tons of money going to clubs. How much money do people waste on drinks at clubs trying to get people to date them?

Today's spread is called "How do I meet someone I like?"

If you learn this five-card spread (today’s spread is called “How do I meet someone I like”) and really master it, you can specialize in getting people dates, getting them business partners, getting them new friends, and helping business owners get MORE PAYING CUSTOMERS — all of the real questions people want answers to — you can make a fortune!

Most tarot readers think the hard part is getting hired.

It’s not. The hard part is sitting there for two hours with your cards laid out watching people walk by and nobody asks you for a reading. Not only is that embarrassing *and* boring, but how can you possibly make any money that way?

In today's session Dusty and Maggie break down what actually gets you hired at a metaphysical shop—and more importantly, what gets people to sit down, trust you, and pay you.

Because this isn’t about luck. It’s not about being “gifted.” And it’s definitely not about undercharging until someone takes a chance on you. This is about understanding the real job.

🔑 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why you’re not applying for a job (and what shop owners actually care about)
• How to position yourself as a partner who brings in customers
• The #1 mistake that makes readers invisible (and how to fix it instantly)
• How to create demand instead of waiting for it
• Why your setup is silently selling for you (or quietly driving people away)
• The truth about pricing—and why cheaper does NOT mean more clients
• How to structure short readings that feel valuable and lead to longer sessions
• The “souvenir reading” strategy that turns strangers into repeat clients
• What makes a shop worth working with — and when to walk away

Most people think reading at shops is about what happens at the table; but it’s not. It’s about everything that happens before someone ever sits down. It's about how you approach the shop to begin with, and whether that shop is a good fit for you. It's about the way you present yourself to the owner, so they see you as a value add-on instead of another mouth to feed. Shop owners have their own bills to pay and endless paperwork, contracts, and taxes. They have to guess what people will actually pay for, and how to get them into the shop to pay for things at all. I know from personal experience that running a shop is not as glamorous as working at one.

So we need to get you spiffed up so you can look like a real professional who will bring value and customers in to their shop to spend money on books and supplies. If you understand that — truly get that — and apply even a few of the ideas we are covering today, you won’t be the reader sitting in the corner hoping someone notices you. You will be a valuable addition to any retail environment. You’ll be the one people walk across the room to find.

Keep in mind that this is a 20 minute crash course on getting yourself into shape to read at a store. The most important steps are there, but we have an entire academy at easytarotlessons.com where we do more than teach you how to read cards like a seasoned professional. We teach you how to get LOTS of paying clients. But today's lesson is about getting you out the door and knocking on doors (of places you want to start reading at this week).

You’re not just a tarot reader. You’re an experience that brings energy, attention, and revenue into the room. And when you start presenting yourself like it, well everything changes. If you really want to learn how to be a tarot ninja, check out our textbook: Advanced Tarot Secrets and our community at easytarotlessons.com. These free lessons are just the beginning, but if you want to learn how to make $20 an hour right now reading cards, we have a lesson on that as well. It's just down the list, and it is free as well. You should check that out now.

Hi! Today's tarot spread is a binary choice spread that gives you simple, clean, clear, ACCURATE answers instantly, but also goes deep into the "how's, and why's" of each option so that you can give your client really DETAILED and highly specific answers when they want to know whether they should "do this, or that."

This spread is super-easy, but it won't do the work for you. You get three significators to help you absolutely focus on the person you are reading about "in the context of the dilemma they are facing," and even their preferred outcome. Then we cast a short spread, and then we flesh out each option. This is the secret method we use in the mystery school, and experts use for their very best executive clients who demand specificity and accuracy — but they also want depth and validation that these answers are based in reality.

Grab your cards and learn this spread. This is not a spread for casual readers or beginners. This simple spread goes deep into the cause and effect of ANY situation, and you should be charging at least $100 every time you cast it, even though it is not a large spread; but it's okay if you want to charge less so that people can afford your services. But if you do, you are giving them a real bargain price.

But we explain it all to you in today’s free lesson — and also — we give you inside secrets only in this lesson hon how to really get the most from this spread.

Today we’re digging into one of the most important upgrades you can make as a tarot reader: what actually separates a $20 reading from a $100 session. It’s not about being more psychic or more dramatic — it’s about structure, clarity, and giving your client something they can actually use.

In this episode, we break down what higher-value readings look like in practice. Whether you’re reading casually or starting to work with paying clients, these ideas apply right away. We focus on using the right spreads for the question, asking focused questions while you shuffle, and turning your readings into clear, practical guidance instead of vague impressions.

We also cover how to think about card positions as part of the answer, how to guide the flow of a session so it stays focused, and how to deliver insight your client can walk away and act on. This is what turns a reading from “interesting” into something genuinely valuable—and worth paying for.

Grab your cards, pay attention, and let’s level this up.

Today we're kicking off a new series called Spread of the Day — short, focused tarot lessons built around a single spread you can actually use. No fluff, no filler. Just the cards, the layout, and everything you need to walk away ready to read.

This episode covers one of the most requested tarot readings out there: how does a specific person feel about you — or about a proposition you're putting on the table? Whether you're asking about a romantic interest, a raise, or a business deal, this four-card spread delivers the kind of specific, actionable insight that separates a good reader from a great one.

We walk through the full layout, how to use two significators to sharpen your focus in a small spread, and what each card position is actually telling you — what they like, what they want, what's holding them back, and the direct advice that ties it all together. This is the kind of tarot reading you can do in five minutes or stretch into a full client session, and it's versatile enough to keep in your core rotation for years.

Grab your cards, download the free PDF handout at AdvancedTarotSecrets.com, and let's get into it.

In today's episode, we take a practical look at the four “Three” cards in the tarot: Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups, and we explore what they reveal when viewed through an astrological lens.

As tarot cards are visual in nature, we look at what’s actually happening in each image, from posture to movement, color, weather, setting, and so on. From there, we connect each Three to its elemental nature (fire, earth, air, or water) and its quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) so you can feel why these cards illustrate what they do.

This isn’t about doing complicated calculations or turning tarot into homework. It’s about learning to see what’s already there in the cards, and letting that understanding quietly sharpen your readings.

If you’ve ever felt that some cards speak more clearly than others, or wondered why similar-looking numbers behave so differently across the suits, this episode will give you a helpful way to organize what you’re already sensing—without forcing anything.

Grab your deck, pull out the Threes, and read along with us.

Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversalsrights activists.

Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why.

What We're Covering:

Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess.

Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning. That's an extra interpretive step you're doing in your head. With reversals, you skip that step entirely. The card does the work for you. If you're reading a Celtic Cross, that's 10 steps you don't have to take. You can spend that energy feeling into the spread instead.

Reversals Reduce Reader Bias: This is huge. I've read for tens of thousands of people, and I'll admit—sometimes I've twisted an interpretation because I emotionally didn't want something bad to happen to my client. Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking.

Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening.

But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes. Most people come to us because something's wrong. We can't just have unicorns and rainbows. Cards have to reflect real life. And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate.

What We're Covering:

Moving Beyond Kindergarten-Level Tarot: Astrology isn't just for measuring people's personalities. It's a framework we can use to measure anything—including tarot cards. Each card has an inherent nature, and understanding whether it's mutable or fixed (not just what element it is) changes everything.

Breaking Down the Four Twos:

Pull out your four twos and follow along.

• Two of Wands (Mutable Fire - Sagittarius): This guy's elevated, looking out over the horizon with a globe in his hand. He's not taking action—he's planning, brainstorming, imagining possibilities. Look at all that variety in the background: mountains, water, village, bridge. Sagittarius energy is all about that far-range vision, that "what if?" quality. There's even playfulness here—like maybe he's going to drop that globe just to see what happens. Mutable fire isn't settled. It's exploratory.
• Two of Pentacles (Mutable Earth - Virgo): The whole thing looks unsettled, which is weird for earth, right? His body's at an angle like he's catching his balance. That infinity loop, the moving water in the background, maybe he's even standing on a boat—everything about this image screams constant adjustment. Question everything. That's Virgo. Mutable earth means you're balancing, weighing options, never quite stable. Even that ridiculous hat at an angle adds to the sense of "oh my God, what about this? But then what about this?"
• Two of Swords (Fixed Air - Aquarius): She's sitting on a stone bench. Arms crossed. Blindfolded. The water behind her is flat and calm. This is opinion. This is "I've made up my mind and I'm not changing it." Fixed air equals closed-minded—not in a bad way necessarily, just firm. She's blocking the ocean. You shall not pass. Very impersonal, very unemotional. The crescent moon shows there's no emotional bias here. It's just no. That's it. No.
• Two of Cups (Fixed Water - Scorpio, though it can read as Libra): Intense bonding. Look at how they're gazing at each other—it's almost voyeuristic to look at this card because it feels so private. She's wearing masculine garb, he's wearing something almost like a dress. They've opened up completely to each other. That caduceus symbol, the winged lion, the isolated house in the background surrounded by trees—this is sacred, ritualized, deeply intimate connection. Scorpio dream: your own home, lots of space, only your people. Forever.
