Money.

For something that affects nearly every aspect of running a Tarot business, it's surprisingly difficult to talk about.

Tarot readers can spend hours discussing intuition, symbolism, spirituality, and personal transformation. But mention pricing, income, profit, or financial goals, and suddenly the conversation gets a lot more uncomfortable.

In this episode of The Business of Tarot, I sit down with Tarot author, educator, and creator Jaymi Elford for an honest conversation about money, sustainability, and what it really means to build a career in Tarot.

Together, we explore why money remains such a complex topic within spiritual communities, the beliefs and assumptions many readers carry about charging for their work, and the realities of creating a business that supports both financial stability and personal freedom.

From pricing and self-worth to abundance thinking, financial planning, and long-term sustainability, this conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and dives into the deeper relationship Tarot professionals have with money.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why money feels uncomfortable in Tarot spaces
• Common financial myths within the Tarot community
• Whether spiritual work should be free, affordable, or profitable
• What a sustainable Tarot business actually looks like
• The realities of making a living through Tarot
• Pricing, confidence, and self-worth
• Why readers often struggle to raise their rates
• The difference between abundance practices and financial planning
• Spiritual bypassing in business contexts
• Balancing intuition with practical decision-making
• Financial stability versus entrepreneurial freedom
• Defining success on your own terms

Whether you're just beginning to charge for readings, reevaluating your pricing, or questioning what a sustainable Tarot career actually looks like, this episode offers a grounded and refreshing perspective on the financial side of the profession.

Because building a Tarot business isn't just about reading cards.

It's also about learning how to have honest conversations about money.

And sometimes the most transformative thing a Tarot professional can do is stop treating money like a taboo subject—and start treating it like a tool.

Pull up a chair.

Let's make it weird.
