“The Why Behind the Answers”: The Positioning Statement That Separates Her From Every Other Tarot Reader in This Series
Most Tarot readers on Keen are selling answers, much like Master Sher or C Garrett. What will happen with this person. When will the situation resolve. Whether the relationship is coming back. Tarot With Meg is selling something different, and she says so explicitly in her profile: “Beyond answers to your questions, my readings show the ‘why’ behind the answers, for deeper context”. That is a deliberate departure from the prediction-first model that dominates the platform, and it is worth taking seriously as a statement of what she is actually delivering. An answer without context is information you can act on once. Understanding the why behind that answer is something you carry forward — it changes how you read future situations, not just how you respond to the current one.
What It Means to Prioritize Understanding Over Prediction — and Who Needs That More Than Answers
There is a specific client who has been to multiple psychic readers, received predictions that may or may not have materialized, and is still fundamentally confused about why their life keeps producing the same kinds of situations. They are not short of information. They have been told what is likely to happen many times. What they lack is the underlying pattern — the why that would help them understand not just this situation but the entire class of situations they keep encountering. Tarot With Meg’s explicit positioning is aimed directly at this client. The why-focused approach is not about withholding prediction — she delivers that too. It is about framing prediction within the deeper context that makes it meaningful rather than simply reactive. Knowing that a relationship is unlikely to recover is information. Understanding the pattern that drew you into that dynamic in the first place, and what it is trying to resolve in your life, is education that stays with you long after the prediction has played out.
How Hellenistic Astrology Adds a Layer of Depth That Modern Western Astrology Cannot Reach
Modern Western astrology — the system most Keen readers who list astrology as a tool are using — is primarily a psychological and characterological system. It excels at describing personality, inner dynamics, and relational patterns. What it is less precise about is timing: when specific themes activate, when windows open and close. Hellenistic astrology, the original pre-modern form that Meg has specifically studied, addresses this gap through techniques that modern astrology largely abandoned. Annual profections — the system of activating a specific house of the chart each year on the birthday — give Hellenistic practitioners a precise year-by-year timing map. The system of time-lords creates a predictive structure where specific planets govern specific periods of life with documented precision. For clients asking not just what is happening but why now, why this year, when will this shift — Hellenistic astrology’s timing systems are significantly more actionable than modern astrology’s symbolic descriptions.
The Rider Waite Smith Deck and the 26-Year Story Behind It
Tarot With Meg’s primary reading deck is a Rider Waite Smith that was gifted to her 26 years ago by her late fiancé. In a review series of eleven readers across dozens of data points, this single biographical detail stands out more than any rating or price point. Not because it proves anything about her accuracy — it does not. But because it tells you something about the relationship between this reader, her primary tool, and the weight of human experience she has brought to it across 26 years of practice.
Why the Origin of a Reader’s Primary Tool Tells You More Than the Tool Itself
The Rider Waite Smith is the most widely used Tarot deck in the English-speaking world and appears in the toolkit of many readers in this series. What distinguishes Meg’s RWS from every other reader’s is the 26 years of accumulated reading she has done with a deck that was given to her by someone she loved and lost. A tool used through that arc of experience — grief, practice, time, thousands of questions from thousands of people navigating their own losses and loves — develops a different quality than a deck purchased from a bookshop last year. The reader knows its imagery with the intimacy of something handled daily for over two decades. The associations she has built between specific cards and specific human experiences are layered with genuine depth. When she draws a card about love from a deck given by a lost love, the resonance between tool and subject is not metaphorical. It is real, and clients who have experienced it describe something in her readings that feels like genuine contact with the weight of lived experience.
What Reading With a Grief-Infused Deck Brings to Sessions About Love and Loss
The specific quality this backstory brings to her sessions is most relevant when clients come with questions about love that contains loss — relationships that have ended, people who are gone, grief that intersects with current love decisions, the question of whether to open again after having been hurt. A reader whose primary tool carries the personal history of love and loss is not approaching these questions from the outside. She has been inside them. That positioning does not guarantee accuracy, but it creates a quality of presence in these sessions that readers without comparable personal depth often lack. When clients describe Meg’s readings as deeply resonant rather than just technically correct, they are often — without naming it — responding to this quality.
Four Decks, Three Abilities, and a Dream Specialist: The Breadth of Meg’s Toolkit
Beyond the RWS, Tarot With Meg works with three additional decks — Lenormand, Queer Tarot, and Thoth — each of which operates differently and serves different types of questions. Her abilities span clairaudience, clairsentience, and mediumship, and her specialties include dream decipherment and astrology transits alongside core Tarot work. This breadth is not a marketing list. It reflects a reader who has spent half her life in genuine study of multiple divination systems and has developed real fluency across them.
Lenormand, Queer Tarot, Thoth, and RWS: When to Use Which
Each of Meg’s four decks addresses a different register of question. The Rider Waite Smith is her primary deck — the foundational system she reads most naturally, carrying 26 years of personal and professional practice. The Lenormand is a 36-card system distinct from Tarot, rooted in practical everyday situations rather than archetypal narrative. Where Tarot describes the energetic and symbolic landscape around a situation, Lenormand tends to deliver direct, situational messages about concrete circumstances — particularly useful for timeline questions and near-term practical outcomes. The Thoth deck, developed by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris, is the most symbolically dense of the four — incorporating Kabbalah, astrology, and advanced esoteric correspondence. It is the deck best suited to questions about deep spiritual pattern and soul-level purpose, though it requires a reader with genuine Thoth literacy to use it without imposing surface-level interpretation. The Queer Tarot is a modern reimagining of the Tarot tradition through an explicitly LGBTQ+-inclusive lens — designed to make the archetypes accessible and resonant for people whose lives do not fit the heteronormative assumptions baked into most traditional decks.
Dream Decipherment: The Specialty No Other Reader in This Series Offers
Dream decipherment is listed among Meg’s specialties, and she is the only reader across this eleven-review series who offers it. This matters because a significant number of clients who seek psychic guidance are doing so partly because their subconscious is clearly trying to communicate something through dreams that their conscious mind has not yet processed. Recurring dreams, anxiety dreams, dreams about deceased loved ones, dreams that feel like visitations or warnings — these are not random noise. They are the mind’s symbolic processing of unresolved material. A reader who can connect dream imagery to the Tarot archetypes and life patterns she is already reading creates a bridge between the subconscious work and the conscious situation in a way that most readers cannot. For clients who arrive carrying a vivid or recurring dream alongside their question, naming that dream as part of the session frame is worth doing explicitly.
Who Comes to Meg and What They’re Really Looking For
The LGBTQ+ Client Who Has Felt Invisible in Traditional Tarot Readings
The experience of receiving a Tarot reading as an LGBTQ+ person using traditional heteronormative decks is specific and worth naming. When the imagery of a “relationship spread” defaults to a King and Queen, when the Lovers card is depicted as a man and a woman, when the reader’s default pronoun for a love interest is the opposite of what is relevant — the reading begins to feel like it is describing someone else’s life. This is not a small thing. It erodes the accuracy of the session because the client is constantly translating rather than simply receiving. Queer Tarot was developed specifically to address this — to make the archetypes feel inclusive at the level of imagery rather than requiring the client to do interpretive translation. Meg’s active use of this deck is not a passive tolerance of LGBTQ+ clients. It is an active provision for them. For queer clients who have previously had readings that felt like they were designed for someone else, she is one of the very few Keen advisors who has built genuine inclusion into the tool rather than leaving it to conversation.
The Client Who Has Had Readings Before and Still Doesn’t Understand Why Things Are Happening
The clearest target profile for Tarot With Meg is the client who has accumulated readings without accumulating understanding. They know what various readers have told them will happen. Some of it did. Some did not. But they still find themselves in similar situations, asking similar questions, and getting similar information without ever breaking the pattern. This is the client whose need is not more prediction — it is pattern recognition. Why do I keep attracting this type of person. Why does this dynamic keep showing up. What is the theme that connects these different situations that seem unrelated on the surface. Meg’s why-focused approach, combined with Hellenistic astrology’s precise timing systems and her half-lifetime of study of universal archetypes, is specifically designed to address this need. The session she provides is not a one-question-one-answer transaction. It is a context-building conversation that gives the client a framework for understanding their situation that they carry forward independently.
How to Book Tarot With Meg and Frame Your Question for Maximum Depth
The One Shift That Transforms a Prediction Request Into a Genuine Understanding Session
Most clients arrive at a psychic session with a prediction question: Will he come back? Will I get the job? Will this work out? These are valid questions, and Meg will address them. But if you want to access what makes her sessions different from every other Tarot reader on Keen, reframe the question slightly before you start. Instead of will he come back, try what pattern is this relationship reflecting in my life, and what would I need to understand to break it or complete it? Instead of will I get the job, try what is blocking career movement right now, and what do the transits suggest about timing? This shift does not guarantee a better outcome — it guarantees a richer session. Prediction answers the surface question. Understanding answers the question underneath it, which is usually the one that actually needs answering.
If you have a recurring dream that feels connected to your situation, bring it. Describe it in the opening of the session before presenting your question — the imagery may appear in her Tarot draw and create a resonance between what your subconscious is processing and what the cards are reflecting that adds a layer to the reading unavailable through either channel alone.
My Final Verdict: The Reader for Clients Who Have Outgrown “What Will Happen”
There is a maturation arc in how people use psychic readings. Early sessions are usually about prediction — will this specific thing happen. Over time, clients who get genuine value from readings shift toward pattern and context — why does this keep happening, what is the larger arc, how do I navigate this intelligently rather than just hoping for a favorable outcome. Tarot With Meg is positioned at that second stage. She is not the first reader I would recommend to someone trying psychic guidance for the first time. She is the reader I would recommend to someone who has been trying for a while and is ready for a different kind of answer — one that explains the terrain rather than just predicting the next step. The late fiancé’s deck, the Hellenistic timing systems, the dream decipherment, the Queer Tarot inclusion — these are not features for a general audience. They are features for a specific client who is ready to use them. If that client is you, the $1 intro session is the most straightforward next step available.

What Is a Psychic Reading? Guide to Understanding Intuitive Guidance
Beginner's Guide to Psychic Readings. Learn what they are, how they work, and 5 types of readings to try. Updated for 2026 with preparation tips and safety red flags.
A psychic reading is a session in which an advisor uses intuitive perception — rather than the standard five senses — to describe your situation, explore possibilities, and offer guidance. That definition is easy to write and surprisingly hard to hold onto, because the industry surrounding it is full of people who would rather you never thought carefully about what you are actually paying for. So let me be precise about what a reading is and is not.
A good reading is not a prophecy delivered from a cosmic registry. It is a structured conversation in which a trained intuitive observes patterns in your energy, your situation, and the symbolic tools they use, and translates those observations into insight you can use. A useful analogy: if therapy helps you understand the why behind your emotions, a reading helps illuminate the what next. One looks backward for causes; the other looks outward for direction. Both are legitimate tools; neither is a substitute for the other.
What Actually Happens in a Reading
The mechanics vary by platform and modality, but every reading follows the same skeleton. You connect with an advisor — by text chat, phone call, or live video. You state a question or situation, ideally with minimal backstory. The advisor works with their chosen method, which may involve cards, astrology, numerology, or direct intuitive perception. And the session ends with their impressions and guidance, which you are free to weigh against your own judgment.
The modality you choose shapes the experience more than most first-timers expect. Text chat produces a permanent transcript you can re-read and audit, but it also lets an advisor compose answers slowly and hide behind the keyboard. Phone readings are immediate and vocal — you can hear hesitation and confidence in real time — but nothing is recorded. Video readings, increasingly common on modern apps, add the dimension of sight: you can watch the advisor work, observe their environment, and judge their reactions. My recommendation for a first session is whichever modality makes you most comfortable, because comfort determines how openly you engage.
The Five Main Types of Readings
Most readings fall into one of five categories, and the right one depends entirely on your question.
Tarot and oracle cards use a deck of symbolic cards, drawn in patterns called spreads, to structure an interpretation of your situation. The 78-card tarot deck works through psychological archetypes; a skilled reader uses the cards as a language, not a fortune-telling device. Tarot is best for specific questions and decision-making, and it is the most common entry point because the structure helps both reader and client stay focused.
Clairvoyant readings skip the tools. A clairvoyant perceives information through mental images, impressions, or inner knowing, and describes what they receive. These sessions feel more open-ended and depend heavily on the advisor’s skill at distinguishing genuine impression from wishful inference. They are best for general life guidance and pattern recognition.
Mediumship is the category most often misunderstood. A medium works with the deceased — perceiving messages or impressions they attribute to people who have passed. Mediumship is not fortune-telling; it is communication with a different layer of reality, and it has a much harder success condition than other reading types, because the client is looking for a connection that feels unmistakably genuine. If you are considering a medium, my guide on evidential mediums explains what to expect and how to evaluate the experience.
Astrology readings interpret your birth chart — the positions of the planets at your moment of birth — to describe personality patterns, life themes, and timing. Astrology is less about prediction and more about mapping: it gives you a structured picture of who you are and the cycles you are moving through. It is best for self-understanding and timing decisions.
Numerology works the same way with numbers, analyzing your birth date and name to reveal life cycles and personal strengths. It is the most abstract of the five and appeals to seekers who respond to structure and pattern.
How to Prepare So You Do Not Waste the Session
The single biggest mistake beginners make is walking into a session with no preparation, then spending the first billable minutes deciding what to ask. Preparation fixes that. Before you book, write down two or three specific questions. The best framing is open but anchored: “What do I need to know about my career path?” outperforms “Will I get promoted on Friday?” — the first invites insight, the second invites a guess.
Give the advisor the minimum information necessary. You do not need to recite your backstory; the reading itself is the test of whether the connection is real. And choose a quiet, private space where you can focus. A reading conducted from a crowded room is a reading half-received, no matter how skilled the advisor.
The Red Flags That Should End a Session Immediately
The industry has a reliable set of scam patterns, and knowing them is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
The curse scam is the classic: an advisor claims you have a dark cloud, a curse, or negative energy that only they can remove — for a fee, usually escalating. No legitimate practitioner sells spiritual surgeries. A reading that leaves you more afraid than you arrived is a reading that failed, and one that monetizes the fear is a fraud by design.
Beyond that, walk away from advisors who predict specific dates with absolute certainty (legitimate readers speak in terms of windows and likelihood), who pressure you to extend the session, or who tell you only what you have already revealed — the signature of cold reading. My guide on spotting fake psychics runs through the detection methods in detail, including how to test an advisor’s genuine skill in the first two minutes.
What a Reading Costs in 2026
Pricing across online platforms ranges from about $1 per minute for entry-level chat advisors to $30+ per minute for celebrity-tier readers. The realistic budget tiers: $1–5/min for solid entry and mid-tier chat, $5–15/min for professional readers with track records, and $15–30+/min for elite specialists. Most major platforms offer free introductory minutes or a heavily discounted first session — typically enough to test whether a specific advisor connects with you before you commit real money.
The number that matters is not the per-minute rate but the value delivered per minute. A $3.99/min reader who delivers a complete, specific reading in eight minutes is cheaper than a $1.99/min reader who burns twenty minutes on filler. Judge sessions by density, not by rate card.
The Bottom Line
A psychic reading is a tool for gaining clarity — about a decision, a relationship, a timing question, or simply your own patterns — when you are stuck in a perspective you cannot escape alone. Used well, with preparation and skepticism, it is one of the oldest forms of structured reflection available. Used carelessly, it is an expensive way to be told what you wanted to hear.
If you are new to this, the best starting point is a platform with strong accountability systems, where you can see or test advisors before paying. My platform reviews rank the major services by exactly those criteria, and the first reading guide walks through your first session step by step.
