You know more than you let on, Pisces. Speak up and share it. And let go of the idea that money has to come from working yourself ragged.
Feel the thing all the way through, Aquarius, then put it to use. If you want love, look for someone steady with more going on than they show.
Show the work, Capricorn. Something you have been building quietly is ready for the people who matter to see, and for you to lead instead of assist.
Heal the old thing you keep stepping around, Sagittarius. Take the leap, say yes to the new thing, and still let it move slowly.
Bring some play back into it, Scorpio. Ask the dumb questions, mess around with ideas in public, and quit waiting until you look polished.
Notice how much of your day runs on autopilot, Libra. Pick one routine you never chose on purpose and change it before the month is out.
Pick one thing and get narrow with it, Virgo. Focus always costs you something else, so decide now what you are willing to cut.
What do you believe about money that you have never actually questioned, Leo? Clear out that one belief and the building part gets a lot less heavy.
Go in light instead of needing it to work out a certain way, Cancer. If it stops being fun, that is your answer, not your failure.
Study what everyone else in your lane is doing, Gemini, then do what they will not. You beat the competition by rising above it, not joining it.
Lower the pressure, Taurus. Something you are starting does not have to work, it just has to be explored, and that is usually what makes it work.
Your ideas may feel a little ahead of everyone else, Aries. That is not a problem. Stop dreaming about it and build one real piece of it.

Who’s Behind Minnow Pond Tarot
Chris Reck reads tarot the way he’d talk to a friend, direct, no fluff, no fear-mongering over hard cards. Just straight answers about what’s actually going on and what to do next.
People ask what deck he reads with more than anything else. Here are Chris’s favorites.
Before You Ask
Questions People Ask Chris
The short answers, straight from him.
Does Chris do personal or private readings?
No, Chris does not do personal readings. Every reading he does is public, right here on the site and on his YouTube channel @MinnowPondTarot, free for anyone who wants it. If someone contacts you offering a private or paid reading as Chris Reck, it is not him.
Will Chris ever message me asking for money?
Never. Chris will never message you first, never ask you for payment, gift cards, or personal information, and never offer a paid reading in your DMs. Impersonator accounts show up constantly on Instagram, Facebook, and in YouTube comments. The accounts linked at the bottom of this page are the only real ones. If you are not sure, check there first.
How do I know an account is really Chris?
Chris has four official accounts and they are all linked at the bottom of every page on this site: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Anything else claiming to be him, especially an account that messages you first, is not him. When in doubt, come back here and use the footer links.
The Ultimate Tarot Masterclass is hosted on Skool. That is the only place it lives.
What’s the difference between a collective reading and my sign’s reading?
Your sign reading is for you and everyone else born under that sign, and a new one goes up every week. Sign readings are generally for your sun, moon and rising signs, but you can watch for any of your placements.
Collective readings are not tied to a sign at all. They are topic related, whether that is a specific astrological event or a question Chris keeps seeing repeat in the comments. These tend to find you when you need them most.
Can I watch any reading even if it is not for my sign, or if it is outside of the time period?
Yes. Tarot is a read on energy and can be applied anytime. Chris always says the Universe does not wear a watch. If something resonates with you, it is meant for you to hear.
How often are new readings posted?
Every sign gets two readings a week, plus a bonus collective reading four times a week. The schedule can change at any time.
- Saturday Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo
- Sunday Taurus, Capricorn, Gemini, Aquarius
- Monday Libra, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
- Tuesday Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer water
- Wednesday Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn earth
- Thursday Gemini, Libra, Aquarius air
- Friday Aries, Leo, Sagittarius fire
I am new to tarot. Where should I start?
Start with the Fool’s Journey further up this page. It walks you through the Major Arcana one stage at a time, in order, so the cards start to make sense as a story instead of 78 things to memorize. After that, the Complete Tarot Guide has every card explained, plus two spreads so you can pull a reading right now.
Can I learn to read tarot myself?
Yes, and faster than most people think. The Ultimate Tarot Masterclass is how Chris actually teaches it. No memorizing 78 meanings by heart, no fluff. You pull your first real reading on day one.
Does Chris have his own tarot deck?
Not yet. Until then, here are the decks and books he actually uses, including the tarot and oracle decks he reads with and the one book he recommends above all others.
