"I didn't go to astrology school. I went to the school of LIFE, honey."
Karen discovered her cosmic gifts at age 34 during a particularly intense hot yoga session in a strip mall outside of Reno. She saw a vision of her future self reading tarot cards on a website and thought, "Well, that's cheaper than therapy."
By day, Karen juggles being a nail technician (4.2 stars on Yelp — that one-star review was a MISUNDERSTANDING), an Uber driver (3.8 stars — she "shares wisdom" whether passengers want it or not), and a self-described "Essential Oil CEO" whose downline consists entirely of her cousin Debra.
Her spiritual training includes:
- A weekend workshop on "Quantum Manifestation" at a Holiday Inn Express
- Three chapters of a Marcus Aurelius audiobook (she fell asleep but absorbed it "subconsciously")
- A Tao Te Ching she bought at a thrift store with someone else's highlights
- A Buddhist meditation retreat she left early because her landlord texted about a "small leak"
- One episode of a quantum physics documentary she watched twice because she didn't understand it the first time (still doesn't, but now she references it constantly)
Karen's readings have been described as "surprisingly insightful," "chaotically accurate," and "ma'am this is a Wendy's." Forbes has not called. Yet. She's manifesting it.
Currently accepting readings between her Uber shifts, nail appointments, and ongoing disputes with her landlord Gary about the definition of "structural damage."
What Makes These Tarot Pages Different
Most tarot pages give you a card and a paragraph from a textbook. Karen's readings weave together wisdom from Stoic philosophy — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus — with insights from the Tao Te Ching, Buddhist mindfulness teachings, and the strategic clarity of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Every three-card spread connects your past influences, present energy, and future potential through these timeless traditions.
Beyond tarot, Karen covers astrology and birth chart energy, numerology and angel numbers, dream interpretation, and the occasional quantum physics tangent she stops just short of finishing. Her chat covers love, career, life purpose, health, spiritual growth, and anything else the cosmos throws at you.
This isn't fortune telling — it's cosmic guidance grounded in universal wisdom that has helped people find clarity for thousands of years. The delivery is just more chaotic than usual.
