I am very new to learning Tarot. This course has given me the essential knowledge that all beginners need to know when starting out in Tarot. I love Linda's passion and how she interacts with everyone on the zoom calls. It's been an exciting time for me. Everything that is taught is easy to follow, and having the reference guides are really handy. This course has given me the confidence to continue exploring the Tarot, learning the many significations of each of the cards, their astrological correspondences and how I can use them as a guiding tool in my life.

The Stars and Cards: Tarot and Astrology Synergy class is an absolute gem in the realm of metaphysical exploration. Linda's passion for both tarot and astrology made this class fun and rewarding. We explored the unique history of tarot, the major and minor arcana, the relationship between tarot and astrology, and did live tarot demonstrations. Linda's insights into the astrological correspondences of the tarot cards opened up a whole new dimension of interpretation, allowing me to better interpret my tarot readings. Linda's warmth and authenticity created a safe space where we could share our insights, ask questions, and practice interpreting tarot readings. I wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of tarot, astrology, and themselves. Under Linda's expert guidance, I not only gained invaluable knowledge but also embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery.

I loved how Linda tied the tarot to Astrology, making it easier to connect to the meaning of so many cards! she provided us with excellent reference guides for both the major and minor arcana, which has helped me interpret my daily card spreads, more easily.Two of my favorite parts of her class were, our guided meditation introducing the cards meanings, and ending the class with a card spread for each person attending! I highly recommend this class!💜

Linda’s courses are always fun and entertaining yet crucially full of the most expert sought out knowledge. Linda adds the flavour of tarot to astrology and the flavour of astrology to tarot . Together they are the perfect duo. If you love either one, you’ll love adding the other. Linda always backs her topics with detailed history and this gives us a great background. She provides lots of reference material and guides. This course has given me a new understanding of tarot adding so much extra depth and precision. Not to mention introducing the decans was a huge boost as well. I can deliver readings with more zest and flavour and and a story is formed more easily. Thanks Linda. Always a pleasure. I highly recommend!!

As symbolic languages, both tarot and astrology allow us to tap into universal archetypes and patterns to reveal answers about our lives.

I'll show you how to do tarot readings with confidence and clarity, to explore insights and intuition through both of these symbolic languages.

I have studied and practiced astrology and tarot, and many other divination techniques, for over 40 years.

Many years ago, I started to explore the connections among various holistic and "alternative" techniques and practices. The deeper I went into one area, the more the synergy and harmony among other areas would be revealed.

I'm excited to share my insights and process with you, so you can read and speak both the languages of astrology and tarot in your tarot readings.

4 weekly live classes

Join these deeply interesting, fun, and interactive classes from your phone, tablet, or computer - or watch the replay! Throughout this course, you will learn how to read tarot cards and spreads, using both traditional and humanistic (astrology) meanings. Here is what Linda covers with you each week to make this come alive for you:

  • Class 1: Revealing the Meaning of Life through Tarot - We will learn the principles and history of tarot to understand its terminology and foundations. We will take the "Fool's Journey" through the Major Arcana, searching for the meaning of life. We will also reveal the traditional core meanings of each Major Arcana card. In addition, we will discuss reversals, the philosophy of question-asking, and how to pick a tarot deck.

  • Class 2: Discovering the Cycles of Opportunity and Change through Tarot: We will walk through problems and choices, questions and answers, using the cycles provided by the Minor Arcana. We will also reveal the traditional core meanings of each Minor Arcana card. In addition, we will learn, through demonstrations, how to do two simple types of tarot readings: the daily reading and several 3-card spreads (layouts).

  • Class 3: Exploring the Astrological Correspondences: We will learn which Sign, Planet, and/or Element is represented by each tarot card. We will learn how to do one of the most popular spreads, and how to integrate the astrological correspondences into tarot readings. We will walk through a process to prepare for a tarot reading.

  • Class 4: Going Deeper into Preparing for and Doing Tarot Readings: We will learn more about guiding a tarot reading, and will learn a simple system to tell a story in a tarot reading. We will practice preparing for a tarot reading, and applying the principles of interpretation. In this final class, you will have the opportunity to volunteer to do in-class practice of guiding a tarot reading.

What will you receive when you sign up for Stars and Cards: Tarot and Astrology?

  • 4 live online classes all taught by expert tarot reader and astrologer Linda Mendonsa (and you get all the replays!)
