Tarot reading guides path through difficult circumstances in life

Sindhu Thapa, the founder of Kenaztarot, has been into tarot card reading for two to three years.

Thapa says, “When I started this journey, I was really in a bad phase of my life. After I got into Tarot reading, I learned about my transformation journey and was aware of things that were happening in my life and I found out why bad things were happening to me which made me interested in reading Tarot cards more.”

Always having a strong intuition, she could not ignore her ability. She says, “After getting to know Tarot reading, it became like a tool where I could use my intuition. I inclined with spirituality, a kind of awareness which not only helped in my profession but in my personal life as well.”

When Thapa first started tarot reading professionally, she never thought it was going to be a long-term profession. But at the ‘New Year Bazaar’, an event at Outdoor Adventure Centre Nepal she got the opportunity to keep her stall for a tarot reading.

“When I went to register my stall, the organisers asked me the name of the stall and also my Instagram page. I wanted a name that did not only represent my profession but also the reason why I chose tarot reading. And as tarot reading was a transformation phase for me, I came up with the name, ‘Kenoztarot’. Kenaz has a spiritual meaning saying ' ‘fire of transformation and regeneration," reminisces Thapa.

The event became a turning point for her profession as she met clients who were really interested in tarot reading. And as she got really good, her following in social media increased, she began interpreting more for clients.

Tarot readers believe that the universe is driven by a really strong force. They say every human being is connected and that’s how people can feel each other’s energy if they try.

Thapa explains, “Tarot reading is based on a person’s energy. It is based on one’s present energy and the same energy level that predicts the past, present and future. So, the Tarot card answers are based on a person’s energy level.”

Thapa further explains that the energy of the person who is reading and the person who comes to do the reading, are both important. A card has 5 to 6 meanings, so the tarot card reader gives their answer on the basis of their intuitions and the level of energy they are getting.

“Tarot reading is not quite popular in Nepal as people have a misconception that Tarot cards can predict their future. It does talk about the future but most importantly, it focuses on the subconscious mind and what one should be aware of in their life. It provides guidance to people if they have any confusion and what could be the right path related to their love life, and career choices.” Thapa says.

Thapa has been receiving a lot of new clients including regular ones who keep coming back to her for readings.

Yubika Shrestha, 27-year- old social activist and the CEO of Pokhara Group Investment Pvt Ltd, has been a regular customer for Kenoztarot after she met Thapa at a clubhouse.

Shrestha says, “I got attracted to tarot card reading because my experience with it has always been accurate. But when a reader predicts someone’s future, that doesn’t mean the person will get what the prediction is without working on their energy.”

Sanchet Pokhrel, a 28-year-old salesperson at a supermarket in Australia, who is also one of the regular clients at Kenaztarot says, “The first time I got to know about Kenoztarot was from Reecha Sharma’s vlogs where she also did her reading from Thapa. After seeing that, I made an appointment with her.”

However, he says that his first reading did not feel like it was 100% accurate but he felt related to most of the things she said.

“Everyone is curious to know what is going to happen in their life. So, the tarot reading guides us the path where we can be aware of the circumstances in our life, and we can make our own decisions which is the reason why I do it again and again” Pokhrel adds.
