HIGH TOWER ARCANA

tarot readings and mentorship

My name is Sydney Madison, and I am the tarot reader behind High Tower Arcana.

The Tarot is a deck of 78 cards that, in its entirety, captures the whole of the human experience through symbols and archetypes. It is a book without a binder that can understand and give insight into any question or situation.

The purpose of my tarot readings are to  see one’s life and decisions from a broader, healthier perspective. My readings seek to bring clarity to the emotions, experiences and struggles one is facing- even those they have yet to realize or acknowledge- and to advise on the best way forward. My readings aren’t just about the present, but gaining tools and insights to navigate the future with deeper self understanding.  A core part of my practice is to create a compassionate, private space for you to be vulnerable and open about your life without judgment. 

I was introduced to tarot for the first time when I was twelve years old, and over the course of my life it has been my greatest teacher. After over 2,500 readings, I've taken my cards to two continents and thirty states. I have an extensive education of the tarot tradition across cultures and time periods, and it guides me to interpret the mysteries and symbols of the tarot into applicable life guidance. I have read tarot for people in all walks of life; from psychiatric patients, academic professionals to school children, I have seen how tarot can help anyone seeking a better life. It would be a privilege to share this offering with you.

My Services

  • Each tarot reading is $100 for a one hour reading. Currently, readings are virtual through Zoom. I will get to know you and why you are seeking a reading, then pull a six card spread with additional clarifiers. Readings will look at all angles of the situation, and deliver accurate and understandable wisdom to guide you in the best path forwards.

  • ​​For $110 an hour, I teach all and any different parts of tarot reading. Currently, mentorship sessions are virtual through Zoom. Catered to each student’s goals and questions, we’ll go in depth into the tarot’s wisdom, card meanings, different spreads, and card interpretation. We’ll also explore the ethics and approaches to being a powerful reader.

    Common tricky tarot subjects I specialize in teaching include how to master court cards, see the deeper meanings and mysteries behind the Major Arcana, and find the story within tarot spreads.

  • “Sydney’s tarot readings are unique, insightful and profound beyond expectations. She combines deep intuition, extensive knowledge of the tradition and interpretation of the Arcans with an understanding of the human condition that transcends her age.

    When a card comes to her, she reads it with the devotion of a scholar who has studied in depth the meaning and the hidden messages that surround that symbol and pairs it with an uncanny ability to translate its meaning into concrete, modern guidance of the experience of life. She will help you to see not only the primary message that the card is offering but the interplay of the cards, and of their secondary and sometimes tertiary attributes.

    Her choice of words is accurate, her intuition astounding, the depth of her knowledge and her ability to weave together teachings from multiple traditions unparalleled. Her readings are never predictable- they are unique and profoundly moving. She will help you see your soul, and will respectfully translate the cards' messages in guiding your transformation with wisdom and compassion.”

  • “I cannot recommend this tarot reading experience highly enough—it was truly life-changing. As someone who had never had a tarot reading before, I approached it with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. However, within moments of the session beginning, all of my doubts and concerns melted away. 

    Her insights were nothing short of astonishing. She tapped into the core of my experiences, emotions, and struggles with such precision that it felt like she was holding up a mirror to my soul. The cards, and her interpretations of them, spoke directly to issues I had been wrestling with, even those I hadn’t fully acknowledged myself. It wasn’t just her accuracy that left me in awe—it was the gentle, compassionate way she guided me through the reading, offering clarity and support with every revelation.

    I cried more than once during the session, overwhelmed by the truth and resonance of what she shared. She helped me see my life and decisions from a broader, healthier perspective, and I left feeling both inspired and empowered. If you are considering a tarot reading but have doubts, as I did, I urge you to take the leap. This was more than a reading—it was a transformational journey.”
