Struggling with big questions about your life? You may just find the answers in the cards and the stars. The Tarot and astrology, two potent systems for understanding our lives, have endured for great spans of history because they illuminate the deeper patterns of life…
… including the lessons, gifts, and wisdom we’re here to experience, integrate, and share with the world.
When we combine them, .
Astrologer and psychotherapist Debra Silverman’s 7-module course explores how we can harness the practical guidance of the Tarot, paired with astrology, to live each day with greater clarity, compassion, and self-authority — and embrace the divine beauty of our wholeness.
With a master’s degree in clinical psychology and more than 45 years of professional experience and private practice, Debra has helped thousands of people achieve emotional health and wisdom through their astrological charts and the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire.
Rarely taught in combination, her synthesis of astrology, psychology, and archetypal wisdom, decoded through the Tarot’s 22 Major Arcana cards and their planetary correspondences, provides us with a profound map for the soul’s awakening…
… a journey which could be once you learn to recognize yourself in the complex characters and symbolism of the Tarot.
From the pleasures and pitfalls of love and the pain of loss to the call for courage that’s rooted in the heart during your most vulnerable and life-defining moments…
… you’ll discover how the Tarot reveals each twist and turn of your life as a necessary initiation for growth and the fulfillment of your true life purpose.
Debra guides you in contemplations that help you understand your blocks, release what no longer serves you, and embrace the path of least resistance to self-actualization with more wisdom, trust, and joy.
You’ll begin recognizing how love, loss, fate, and transformation speak through symbolic language — inviting you to feel a deeper connection to cosmic cycles, the rhythm of your soul, and the unseen order of life.
Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to develop your own sacred practice of reflection and inquiry — perhaps by pulling a card each morning.
To enrich the learning journey, each session is also accompanied by the soulful presence of musician and poet Ash Ruiz, whose live music and spoken-word artistry create a heart-opening field where the archetypal wisdom of the Tarot and astrology can be felt on an emotional and spiritual level — .
Whether you’re standing at a crossroads, unsure of your next step, seeking deeper meaning and purpose, or curious about how Tarot and astrology can illuminate your life’s path...

Module 1 Understand the Archetypal Wisdom of The Fool, The Magician & The High Priestess - the Foundations of Tarot & Your Human Journey
In order to incarnate you have to be “a fool.” Who else would choose to come down to this planet with no instruction manual?
Explore how the first three cards of Tarot — The Fool (card 0), Magician (card 1), and High Priestess (card 2), symbolize your incarnation and innocence, gifts and wisdom, and inner silence that connects you to higher guidance.
Our first stop upon arrival in this journey is The Magician who is sitting at a table with four elements. Studying with The Magician can reveal what your life mission is — making it a key to your success in life. Mercury, the planet of communication, is associated with The Magician, illuminating how when the mind is under the influence of a conscious soul, magic begins.
Lastly, you’ll enter the temple of The High Priestess who elicits sacred energy brought to you by incense, chanting, and the quiet doorway of prayer.
These three cards in unison set you up for the rest of your journey of life.
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover the innocence of a child reawakened with The Fool
- Explore the wisdom of The Magician informed by the elements as a practice
- Understand how the silence of The High Priestess connects you to the other worlds
- Receive a well-packed suitcase for life that sets you up for success with innocence, wisdom and prayers
- Use a short questionnaire to feel how connected you are to the 4 elements
- Be guided in a contemplative experience to assess how much of your inner child is activated, how are you tuned into the elements, and how much of The High Priestess you are engaging with
Module 2 Balancing Pleasure, Rules, Decisions & Love - The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant & The Lovers
After all that spiritual training, The Empress is hungry for pleasure. She calls to her Emperor and says, “Will you assist me in serving the kingdom?” “Your wish is my command,” says The Emperor. Isn’t this every woman’s dream — a partner who responds to their desires?
All the jewels, wealth and indulgences that The Empress (Venus) can imagine show up. This is the Emperor (Aries) revealing his manifestation power in full glory until The Hierophant (Taurus) arrives who stops everything and asks “where is the budget, I need some receipts.”
The Hierophant, in charge of holding down the fort and making sure everything is stable, brings government, laws, and religious orders.
And then comes the greatest distraction of all: The Lovers. In the story of Lancelot and Guinevere (Emperor and Empress), the human drama begins.
This is the card of the ultimate decision maker that understands the values that were put in place by The Hierophant…. or do they?
Explore how these four cards help us find balance between pleasure and responsibility….
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover through The Empress why it’s your divine right to experience the pleasures of being in a body
- Explore The Emperor as a willing partner who is ready to give you the answer to your dreams
- Learn to trust The Hierophant’s moderate leadership, structure, balance, and deep consideration
- Understand The Lovers card as the compelling influence of attraction — and the ultimate decision maker to maintain practical focus so we don’t let love distract or hurt us and take us out of the game
- Be guided in a contemplation to understand what distracts you in a relationship and what serves you? How focused, grounded, and in touch with your heart are you?
Module 3 Staying Grounded, Courageous & Thoughtful When Navigating Matters of the Heart - The Chariot, Strength & The Hermit
When the emotional body is stimulated through love, just like sitting on a chariot that’s moving quickly, you must sit in the middle and hold on tight. One move in the wrong direction and you are going to fall off.
Explore how The Chariot (Cancer), Strength (Leo), and The Hermit (Virgo) can help you remain grounded and vulnerable in your relationships — and calm, yet courageous, in matters of the heart.
Debra shares how whenever love is around, challenges can begin, which can be exhausting. And how The Hermit brings in a timeout for reflection when faced with powerful emotions.
In this session, you’ll:
- Explore how to maintain emotional balance with the elements
- Discover how to be courageous yet vulnerable in the face of love through the Strength card and Leo — and keep your heart open no matter what is happening
- Learn how The Hermit offers respite after the storm — a timeout to be alone after something tumultuous or emotionally overwhelming
- Awaken the courage to remain vulnerable, balanced, and comfortable in your own company
- Be guided in a contemplative experience to assess how much emotional balance is activated in your relationships, how well you are tuned into the elements, and how much of The Hermit you are engaging with
Module 4 Understanding & Making Peace With Karmic Agreements - The Wheel of Fortune, Justice & The Hangman
Life has a funny way of bringing people, situations, and circumstances together as if out of the blue.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how karmic agreements trump free will. Further, you’ll explore destiny through the Wheel of Fortune and Justice cards…
… and how The Hanged Man teaches us to surrender to the divine plan that is unfolding for our lives. This is what we call Karmic Law.

Module 5 Surrendering the Ego to Experience True Love - Death, Temperance & The Devil
Upon acceptance of marriage or commitment, the ego must be surrendered and this can be experienced as a death.
Explore how Death (Scorpio), Temperance (Sagittarius), and The Devil (Capricorn) cards can help you dissolve your ego and free yourself of expectation, while guiding you into transformation.
Debra shares how every relationship involves compromise, acceptance, and frustration…
… and why the greatest medicine is joy and remembering the fun factor when it comes to love — or The Devil will leave you feeling very repressed and bound without the joy.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn why you should not mistake death as something that is wrong
- Discover why the ego must be replaced with the soul
- Explore how Death, Temperance, and The Devil teach us that hard work based on love is fun
- Understand your shadow — the work you have to do — and accept your destiny, which includes letting go
- Be guided in a contemplation to assess how comfortable you are in letting go and laughing in the face of pain — and your ability to make spiritual work fun
Module 6 Turn the Poison of Pain Into Wisdom - The Tower, The Star & The Moon
When resistance continues, a storm is required to get our attention — as humans often don’t give up without a fight (The Tower/Mars).
The good news is a trained mind knows how to look up for intelligence brought forth by The Star (Aquarius).
Explore how the light that exists in the dark is simply revealed by The Moon (Pisces), who determines your emotional stability and compassion for the human condition and how after the storm, comes the calm.
In this session, you’ll:
- Understand the true value of crisis with The Tower
- Learn how The Star teaches us to digest the poison of pain — and turn it into wisdom and beauty
- Explore the power of dreams as an untapped resource through The Moon
- Discover the power in growth and letting go — and how sometimes the hardest parts of life are the greatest teachers
- Be guided in a contemplation to assess if you are in a phase in your life that required crisis, if you know how to turn pain into wisdom, and if your dreams provide direction or insight
Module 7 Embrace Your Life as a Playground for Evolving With The Sun, Judgment & The World
No one ever tells you that true partnership can create heaven on Earth. That’s what the sun and the moon are doing together, circling each other endlessly and in perfect symmetry, predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow.
Discover how The Sun reveals the laws of evolution and how we are all in this together — and how Judgment teaches us that it’s not a courtroom, it’s a classroom.
You’ll also explore how The World can help you understand who you really are and what you are made of in these times of great revelation.
In this session, you’ll:
- Explore how The Sun teaches us that after the storm there is relief
- Understand how The Sun and The World invite us into interconnectedness — your pain is our pain and we are in this together
- Learn why the new heaven and the new Earth is just a thought away
- Be guided in a final contemplation to assess how open you are to partnership — who do you dance with? (kids/boss/hubby/friends), do you feel victimized by the judge/critic in your head, and can you accept that your thread of the tapestry is as important as everyone else’s?
- Add up your score of all contemplations to discover the hot topics of your life (which card keeps showing up in your homework, what’s the theme over the last 7 modules)
