But how does it work? Why do the "right" cards fall?

The functioning of this tool is not "magical" in the supernatural sense. It relies on a fascinating blend of psychology, interaction, intuition, the unconscious, and focus (yes, all at once!).

• A structured symbolic system: The tarot (especially the Rider-Waite-Smith, widely known globally, with its 78 illustrated scenes) is a coherent visual language. A reading is not a pile of cards; it's a "sentence" that offers a new and structured perspective on a situation.

• The projective effect (like a guided Rorschach): This is the heart of the process. As with a Rorschach inkblot, a painting in an exhibition, a movie, or even a child's drawing at a child psychiatrist's office, our brain projects our unconscious thoughts, fears, and desires onto the image. The card acts as a mirror. But, unlike a simple inkblot, the card's symbol (a character, an object, a color, etc.) guides this projection, making it incredibly relevant to the explored subject. Your brain will fetch ideas from its deepest folds. They were already there; you just brought them to light or "birthed" them thanks to these revealers and our dialogue around the card.

• "Jungian" synchronicity: The act of focusing on a question creates a state of receptivity. The cards that come out, even by "chance," resonate with this inner state. This is what Jung called "synchronicity": a meaningful coincidence. Tarot activates our ability to recognize this meaning, to make connections that our logical mind often ignores. It's not about whether another card would have been "better"; it's about working with what is there, because the important thing is the thought process triggered by the card presented. Of course, sometimes the cards fall so accurately that one can be amazed and, due to tarot's notorious reputation, wonder if there isn't something "supernatural" involved... Everyone has their own answer to this question, and it doesn't matter. What's important is to effectively advance in one's reasoning – and goals.

• The co-creative dialogue: In a tarot coaching session, the real work happens in the exchange. The role of the tarot coach is not to impose a truth, but to guide a dialogue. "What does this image evoke for you?", "In the tarot system, this image means this, and in your context, I would interpret it like that, but what does it make you think of?", "What new perspective does this open up, in your opinion?". It's a birthing of ideas, where the cards are the catalyst. The tarot, you, and I walk the path together and clear the road as a trio.

​

This method applies beautifully to creative careers, where intuition, personal vision, imagination, and meaning are essential drivers. But I have conducted sessions on all sorts of professions and subjects (including personal, family, love, or others before specializing in the professional field). And since tarot is a language, it applies and works with everything.

​

The objective of a tarot coaching session is therefore to:
> Clarify complex professional situations and blockages (like imposter syndrome, fear of disappointing oneself or others, panic when facing the immensity of tasks, difficulty making choices, etc.).
> Reconnect the person to their fundamental strengths and deep desires, often buried under obligations.
> Explore career options with a new and creative perspective.
> Build an aligned, sustainable, and motivating action plan.

In summary, tarot coaching is a strategic and intuitive dialogue that uses a proven tool to give everyone back the keys to their own journey.
