Dr. Michael Santangelo

If you're looking for answers to questions like:

Is my boyfriend or girlfriend cheating on me?

Did my boss lie to me about my raise? or,

How can I get my 25 year-old son out of my basement?

- Call a psychic hotline. My readings are not for you.

However, if you're seriously interested in spiritual growth, in getting a sense of where to look next for fulfillment, or how best to take advantage of what the next year may bring, you've come to the right place. Because these are the real questions, the big questions of life; and Tarot's purpose is to answer the big questions.

My name is Dr. Michael Santangelo and I believe that I bring Tarot readings to a new level of sophistication by using the multilevel B.O.T.A. system of interpretation to provide incredible depth to my divinations. Not your ordinary Tarot reading, this system uses the power of the Western mystery tradition to examine the question from several angles, increasing the amount and specificity of information with each step.

A full reading involves five separate stages, and takes about two hours to complete. Fewer steps can be requested, yielding just as much information as the questioner desires. This system depends upon a card (the Significator) chosen to represent the questioner, based on the individual's age and birthday. Where in the deck the Significator occurs determines how the rest of that particular stage of the reading is conducted. Below is an example of the first stage of a reading.

    The first stage establishes the "world" in which the solution resides. These worlds include the abstract world, the world of desire and creativity, the world of thought and action, and the material world. The cards are cut (picture 1) into four piles and the Significator is located. In this example, the Significator is the Queen of Cups. The pile (picture 2) in which she is found determines the world (here it is the world of desire and creativity) that becomes the focus of the entire reading. The cards are then laid out in a circular pattern (picture 3). Using a numerical system that assigns a value to each card, a count occurs (picture 4) that determines which cards in the spread are the most important. These are interpreted with regard to the world of the reading. Finally, the cards are paired in a specific manner (picture 5), and each pair is interpreted. This ends the first stage of a reading.
   
   
   
   

     Subsequent stages are similar, always using the Significator to determine the relevant group of cards to interpret. Other stages include the astrological House of importance, the astrological Sign of interest, the contributions of each 10 degrees of the zodiac, and the relevant sphere on the Tree of Life. A full, five-stage reading provides a wealth of information, including timing of results. This is a truly amazing system.

I'll definitely recommend you to others."           - B.R.                 "As a psychotherapist, I have found that referring my clients to you has allowed them to achieve new insight, which has led to breakthroughs in their process. You offer a very valuable service."                - J.S., PhD
