Back by popular demand! Fortune's Wheelhouse brings you part 1 of a readings episode that illustrates how the correspondences are applied in real time when reading a card. Esoteric tarot reading is both an art and a science, in which the correspondences form a support for the intuitive oracular moment. We put out a call for questions from Fortune's Wheelhouse patrons, and we are happy to say that we were able to read for every patron who submitted a question. However, we had to split the episode into two separate parts in order to do so. If your question wasn't addressed in this episode, Part I, it will be addressed in the next installment, Part II, to be released June 3, 2020. Finally, thank you to all the loyal Patrons who submitted their questions - you are superheroes of the astral realm.
