You have more proof than you are giving yourself credit for. Look at what you already pulled off, then make the bolder call.
Follow the small clue that made you curious, even if it looks like nothing. Then clean up your space and who you spend time with.
Do not rush a new connection, and do not read a quiet stretch as rejection. Look for people building toward the same thing you are.
Learn the method from someone who already did it, then add your own twist. You are more ready than you keep telling yourself.
The answer you have been waiting on is close. When it lands, do not sit on it. Make a plan and walk through the door.
Watch how you talk to yourself, because that voice sets your ceiling. Do the research before you decide, and skip the reckless leap.
Do not argue with critics. Let your results do the talking, and cut the one worry loop that has been eating your mornings.
Momentum beats planning right now. Pick the idea that excites you and move on it in a way nobody around you expects.
Make the extra work you do impossible to miss. Ask to be paid for it, and if the answer stays no, start looking around.
Where have you been settling for crumbs and calling it fine? Name what you actually want, then start acting like that is normal.
If you are forcing it, it is probably not the move. Try the thing again, but add a twist instead of repeating the old version.
A past flop is not proof of anything. You are in a different position now, so run the experiment again and let the new result speak.

Collective Readings
Sometimes a reading isn’t about your zodiac sign at all. It’s a message for whoever needs to hear it, and it tends to find the right person at the right time.

Before You Ask
Questions People Ask Chris
The short answers, straight from him.
Does Chris do personal or private readings?
No, and he never has. Every reading Chris does is public, right here on the site and on his YouTube channel, free for anyone who wants it. If someone contacts you offering a private or paid reading as Chris, 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.
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. A collective reading is not tied to a sign at all. It is a message for whoever needs to hear it, and it tends to find the right person at the right time. Plenty of people watch both.
How often are new readings posted?
New readings for all twelve signs go up every week, and there is a fresh card pulled every single day on this page. Collective readings are posted regularly throughout the week on the YouTube channel.
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.
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, these are the decks he actually reads with and recommends.
Heads up: these are affiliate links. If you buy through one, Chris earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep the weekly readings free.
