hi! my name is cassiopeia, but my friends call me cas! i'm a tarot card reader originally from santa barbara, now based out of ventura county. i'm a proud taurus sun/rising, libra moon.
while not a psychic, i'm a queer indigenous/jewish practitioner with a penchant for grounding my craft in where i've come from,
and where i'm going.✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡

i guess it's a given, but i absolutely LOVE tarot. astrology is great, palms are beautiful, tea leaves are fun, numerology is neat, but the tarot enchants me like no other. my brain loves the linear story, the rich symbolism from cultures around the world, the references to other divination systems, and the tangibility of it. i can hold the cards up to my face and admire the gloss of them, smell the cardstock, hear and feel the shuffle beneath my fingers.i'm very proud to carry my maternal great-grandmother's cards with me. she was the last to read in my family before me. i found them one teenaged summer solstice, candles lit on my bedroom floor for my own little solstice celebration. i have no idea what urged me that night to go upstairs and rifle through my mother's drawers, but since finding them i haven't put them down.since then i've had 10 incredible years with the tarot, trying to learn its secrets, buying WAY too many decks than is ever really necessary, and finding the cards everywhere in life. as a double Taurus, i pride myself on never letting something revealed in a reading feel too lofty or disconnected from the here and now. i like to keep my feet firmly planted.tarot to me is not fortune-telling, it's story-telling, a tool to give us insight into many perspectives on any given situation. tarot should never feel scary or feel unreachable in any way. i fill every card with intention and love for your highest self. ♡

when i'm not reading cards, i'm probably on stage! here is me as ophelia in hamlet! i'm a dancer and a singer, and a born & bred thrifter/antiquer. i love hiking and dancing danza azteca, and watching anime and playing dungeons & dragons with my partner nicolas.
i'm so glad you asked!tarot represents a slew of universal archetypes. if put in order, tarot tells a linear storyline that reflects almost every human experience. victories, losses, relationship building, temporary failures, all of it is in there somewhere.
everything i'll tell you about a card has a clear, explainable reason for that meaning. through a system of major/minor arcana, numerology influences, and four suits connected to elements, tarot offers a way to lay out a story in front of us and ask, where do i play into this? it's a way to find yourself in it and see through its eyes into a new perspective on a situation.i ultimately started reading in the style i do now because of the huge influx of performative tarot content i kept seeing online. in my early days of reading cards, i met a lot of people who told me similar stories about seeing tarot content creators/going to readers who claimed that '"he DEFINITELY wants you back!" / "you have a curse placed on you. i can remove it for an extra fee!" and other hyperspecific claims, usually linked to an extra price tag on more information.if a reader claims these things, they are usually FRAUDULENT!if the reader is the only one who can access the information being conveyed in a tarot reading, they have power to tell you whatever they want.my number one priority in my readings is reaching an understanding together about what the cards pulled mean, and why. i want you to feel empowered during the reading every step of the way. i take the trust you put in me extremely seriously. you deserve a legitimate, objective, and honest answer to your question. all messages given are ones backed up by hundreds of years of evolving tradition, artistry, and storytelling. nothing brings me more joy than tapping into ancestral wisdom, your highest self, and translating it through this powerful tool to create positive change for you.

I am not a lawyer, financial consultant, medical practitioner, or therapist. I will not give financial, legal, medical, or other sensitive types of counsel. I do not answer questions about birth, death, lottery tickets, health issues, legal problems etc. I can only offer spiritual guidance on your own actions. If I feel that you are using tarot readings to substitute, not supplement, professional mental health counseling or other medical treatment, I reserve the right to withhold further readings, and I will refer you to seek out qualified professional support.
I treat all my clients with an equal amount of respect, no matter age, race, sexuality or gender identity, or religious/spiritual beliefs. I will not treat you or your reading differently based on any of these factors.
Everything divulged during a reading will remain 100% confidential. I will not repeat anything myself or my client said during a reading, unless requested by the client or required by a court of law. I do not take the level of trust put in me lightly.
I will never reach out to you asking for payment for a tarot reading. Scam accounts abound in this community who impersonate established readers. My only account is @starlit.cas on Instagram.
I do not do third party readings. If asked a question about another individual, I ask that it remains relevant to you. If your question involves, "how does Jenny feel about Sally," I will ask you to reframe the question to something more like "how can I best approach the situation with Jenny and Sally." Additionally, I do not do readings concerning outcomes of current political/global events.
I cannot predict events. To do this is antithetical to the nature of the tarot. I can provide guidance on how to deal with events as they come, not the exact details of what will happen. I do not claim to have matter-of-fact communication to, access of, or knowledge of supernatural phenomena. I will never guarantee any one outcome, positive or negative. I cannot and will not make contact with the deceased deliberately or upon request.
I reserve the right to deny a reading to anyone at any time. If you have submitted a payment, I will refund you, and if applicable try to refer you to a reader I think you would be better suited to.
If it has been within 48 hours of purchase and you change your mind about getting a reading, send me an email or a message and I will refund you in full and cancel your booking. Once the reading is received, I cannot issue a refund. Readings are not a tangible or consumable thing, and part of the price is for my time.
I am obligated to report unlawful activity, or if yourself or others are in danger in any way.
By law, I have to state that readings are for entertainment purposes only. I am not to be held responsible for anything that could happen once the reading leaves my hands. I do not take any responsibility for any choices you make; the choices are personal and your responsibility.
By booking me, you agree to these terms and to being at least 18 years of age, or having received parental permission.
