Andrea Angelique: Medium along with Tarot Master
As a teen, Andrea delighted in reading books by Edgar Cayce on reincarnation. In San Francisco as a “love child” inside early 1970’s, she discovered her intuitive powers along with supplemented her income by doing Tarot readings for urbanites, gays, genteel couples, hippies in Haight-Ashbury along with suit-along with-tie businessmen coming from the Financial District.
A natural intuitive, Andrea has been studying along with reading the Tarot for most of her adult life. Painting, singing, writing poetry, raising Persian cats for fun along with profit, playing “stage mother” as a karaoke host, along with doing a fool of herself in an Ubud comedy improv group are just a few of her hobbies.
Andrea took graduate courses in counselling psychology at Ohio State University, worked for more than 20 years as a professional counsellor, has authored two books, been ordained as a lay minister, along with taught numerous workshops on Tarot, relationships along with male/female compatibility factors.
With her counselling background, her spiritual orientation, her psychic abilities to see past lives, Andrea feels certain that will a universal consciousness, a sublime energy connects all of us. In a recent interview, Andrea chronicled her path to becoming a professional clairvoyant.
What’s your professional background?
After a stressful career as a journalist/feature writer for the Scripps-Howard Newspapers, I established the SoulMates Centre in La Jolla along with Newport Beach, California for twenty years, which specialized in matchmaking along with relationship counselling. I wrote a book, “What’s My Type?” about male-female compatibility issues along with taught all over California for the Learning Annex, a “university without walls.” Today I live along with work in Ubud reading Tarot cards for both individuals along with couples.
What can be the Tarot?
Tarot can be an intuitive art. Most psychics use some kind of tool to harness along with focus their energies, such as astrology, palmistry, a crystal ball, the I Ching, etc. Tarot can be the language I use to communicate with Spirit. I love counselling along with helping people, so the item was a joy for me to learn the symbolic language of the Tarot. When you learn the many meanings of the cards, the item becomes a visual language that will stimulates psychic connections.
How do you prepare for a Tarot session?
I generally do my readings in my home, in a reverent, private space. I do This specific for the confidentiality of the client, along with also, because I am so sensitive, to keep external interferences coming from distracting me while listening to along with perceiving the communications coming from my Third Eye through visions, internal hearing along with empathic emotion. As I’m only a channel for Spirit, I always begin every reading that has a prayer along that has a blessing to surround the reading with the protection along with to enlist Spirit’s help in allowing me to become a channel for light, wisdom along with clarity.
How does a reading work?
A reading generally takes an hour or longer. The more time, the more detail I’m able to give. After a prayer, I shuffle the cards, the client divides the deck into three packs along with then chooses one of the packs that will I will work with. I place the cards in a complex structure where each position represents an aspect of the Querant, the person who can be asking the questions. For example, one position represents the client’s home, another their past, another present conflict along with yet another, aspects of the future as the item will develop. I read each card as a sentence in a paragraph, in a story of the Querant’s life, weaving a metaphorical story. When I have completely read the structure (there may be 30-40 cards to read), I turn all the cards over, along with my client along with I ask further questions for clarification. Usually, within the hour, I can answer all the client’s questions.
What sort of counselling advice do you give?
People come to see me because they need assistance, more information, direction, clarification of values along with goals. Because I have a professional background in counselling psychology, many clients prefer to seek advice coming from a psychic like myself, rather than coming from a psychotherapist. If they are open to counselling, I offer them suggestions before, during along with after a reading. I try to help them think more clearly about a situation, attempt to assist them in looking at options, encourage them to think “outside the box,” along with allow them to validate what they are feeling. I help clients make difficult decisions, enable them to move forward in their lives with greater clarity along with insight.
I get many emails coming from clients confirming my predictions. I also occasionally send out emails requesting feedback, which confirm that will what I foresaw was 80 to 90% accurate.
Do you also read for couples?
Sometimes a couple will want to know important things to prepare themselves for coming events: a move, a job opportunity, a return on an investment. Sometimes they want to know if they will stay together. In such cases, the Tarot will assist me in seeing if there are significant problems inside relationship. Usually I ask my clients if they would likely like to work with me on addressing these issues along with discovering solutions so they can be happier together.
Do you still use a Ouiji Board?
The Ouiji Board became my favourite “toy.” I was having a wonderful time telling the fortune of the kids on my street. Then my lovely, concerned mother hid the board away. I didn’t find the item again until after she had passed away in old age, hidden away at the bottom of an antique chest.
