Tarot for Transformation
What is Tarot?
Tarot comprises a deck of 78 cards that are packed with rich, multi-layered symbolism, meaning and mysticism that have a universal appeal as they tap into the human condition, life processes and natural phenomena that cut across time and space. Tarot, which dates back to the 14th century, first began to be used as a divinatory tool in the 18th century, in a form of divination called ‘cartomancy’, i.e. the use of cards for predictions/fortune-telling.
Even though Tarot has become popular in the modern times primarily for its divinatory or predictive potential, it has also been discovered to be a very versatile tool that can be used in a wide variety of ways, from psychotherapy and meditation to marketing and manifestation (and even in academic research although it is yet to be mainstreamed). It is in fact a magical medium that can aid us in all different aspects of our daily lives, from the mundane to the mystic.
Overall, Tarot is used to gain insight into the past, present and future of an individual (or a collective), based on that person’s current energies or the present path. Similar to any other tool of divination, Tarot operates based on the principle of synchronicity, a concept first introduced by the father of analytical psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, who used it to describe “circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection”, i.e. ‘meaningful coincidences’.
Tarot for Transformation
Tarot has an uncanny, seemingly magical ability to tap into the divine which can take the form of our own unconscious or the ‘higher self’, as well as the greater cosmos or ‘spirit’, bringing what is invisible to our conscious awareness through a captivating intuitive process. Consequently, a ‘reading’ using the cards shows us what we need to know as opposed to what we want to know, enabling us to become more conscious and perceptive, and work with the deepest (and often hidden) aspects of our selves and psyches. Hence Tarot provides us with an incredible tool for self-introspection, self-development and self-transformation, as it empowers us to take more conscious decisions about our lives, and guides us to make the choices that are in our highest good, instead of becoming victims of circumstances or worse, living life on autopilot.
While the predictive aspect of Tarot is useful and is certainly alluring, I believe that the real magic lies in its ability to give deep insights into our inner/outer realities, in particular the unconscious aspects that are not readily accessible yet are powerful drivers of our decisions and actions, and ultimately our destinies.

What I Offer
In my psycho-spiritual work, I combine Tarot with Oracle cards, a modern version of cartomancy, for greater insight and validation.
I currently offer 2 types of services based on card readings:
Tarot Readings: These are readings for providing guidance regarding any aspect, relationship or situation in your life. These can be done for both individuals and couples and are one-off readings (i.e. reading is completed in one session).
Tarot for Transformation: These are psycho-spiritual coaching/counselling sessions where Tarot is used as a tool for accessing information at conscious and unconscious levels, along with other tools where required, for deep inner healing and transformation. Therapeutic in nature, these require several sessions depending on the nature of the requirement and the goal that will be determined during the preliminary session. These sessions are more interactive and require the active participation of the client, and involve reflective exercises and integrative practices between sessions. Hence this method is recommended for those who feel the need for and can commit to a serious process of self-exploration and transformation. This method can be used for individuals, couples and groups, however, currently I am taking only individual clients.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Fleur (UK)
I received several tarot readings from Chathuri earlier this year and was amazed by her intuitive insights. She was able to give me a lot of clarity and help me make sense of a number of different areas of my life. In addition to her strong intuitive abilities, Chathuri is extremely kind so I felt safe throughout the whole process. Chathuri also made me a beautiful mandala which provides me with strength and guidance every time I look at it. Thank you Chathuri for sharing your gifts with me.
Mihiri (Sri Lanka)
I was very new to tarot and i got to experince my very first session with Chathuri. During the session she repeatedly said that this is a self-empowering process and not a future prediction. What she told was very true. During my very first session i understood my abundance blocks and she told me how to overcome the same, which was very empowering to me.
Its the same reason I wanted to do my 2nd session with her. This time I had one of the biggest dilemmas in my life and it was an emotionally and mentally challenging time for me. Her reading precisely explained my situation and she clearly explained to me how to overcome it, with a personal experince from her life, which gave me a lot of hope and im so greatful to her for the same.
Since she is very kindhearted, patient and empathetic its very easy to talk to her and also that builds up a very friendly, welcoming, safe space which is a must when you are in to spiritual work.
I’m so glad that I met her which brought up so much love and light to my life, when I was passing a very dark period in my life. And I’m recommending her work to anybody who is ready for self-transformation. Wishing you nothing but the best in what you do Chathuri, so greatful to you and your gifted talents!

Chathuri did a tarot reading for me as I feel stuck in a situation and she gave me some clarity. She also saw me clearly, even though it was a remote reading! Without knowing much about the situation she had a good grasp of it. She was warm and benevolent - it was a pleasure to listen to her - and she was very encouraging in her expression of the cards’ signs, including how to approach the situation and even some ideas on what to work on. This was such a nice experience, thank you Chathuri!
Priya (Sri Lanka)
I first got a Tarot reading done by Chathuri on my general life, based on which I decided to explore some of the triggers in my life deeper. I was shown that it is possible to engage in a deeper exploration of myself using the insights gained through the reading, through her Tarot for Transformation psychospiritual process. In this process, different tools such as grounding meditations, visualizations, Timeline Healing, Inner Child Healing and Sacred Geometry were used alongside introspective exercises such as journaling inspired by Tarot and Oracle cards which in this instance were used as a projective tool to access my inner wisdom. As I progressed in this journey of self-discovery, certain deep-seated wounds surfaced to my consciousness, to be resolved and healed.
I have listened to hundreds of Tarot readings online and had even got 2 personalized readings earlier from other readers and those readings gave me a lot of clarity about what is happening in my life and in my own mind, which helped my inner transformation. It helped me really speed up my psychospiritual development at both conscious and unconscious levels. The general readings have a predictive value as well, which really helped me in anchoring myself in times of great uncertainty and insecurity in my life.
What I received from Chathuri’s Tarot for Transformation process in particular was the spiritual dimension, beyond the 3D situations. For instance, I always identified myself with the energy of the Hight Priestess (in Tarot) and in one of her readings it was clearly shown how I can integrate that energy through the alternative perspectives that come through the energy of the Hanged Man (in Tarot). It was like seeing a story – the story of your life and your potential – unravelling in front of you. It was that kind of psychospiritual potential that got unearthed. At the time of the card readings the insights we gain are very significant but we tend to forget things with the erosion of time. However, since it has already made a change and an impact in our cognition, you start living like the message that you received.
And when she used Inner Child and Timeline Healing tools, I saw a vision of a Deva (God) which is Arc Angel Michael in combination with Lord Vishnu, who I still bring to mind particularly when I feel low or used by someone or when my wounds are triggered. That’s very soothing for me. Going back to what happened in my childhood and seeing how it relates to what is happening in my life right now, then going into the future and seeing myself as a self-reliant person, with that Deva figure to guide me, was very powerful.
If there’s anyone who wants to really transform themselves and their lives, and do this kind of deep inner work based on card readings, this psychospiritual process gives the motivation to really make those changes. I would recommend Tarot for Transformation service that Chathuri offers to anyone going through an existential crisis, e.g. those who have been diagnosed with a serious illness, experienced the loss of a loved one or a major break up, exposed to trauma, or any life situation which gives rise to questioning the meaning and purpose of life, leading them towards transformation.
