All 78 cards. Plus the numerology behind them.

Most courses teach you an overview of the generic meaning of tarot cards. This one teaches you why every card carries a number, how that number sharpens your reading, and the relevance of every element inside every card. Six modules, ~6 hours of core teaching, weeks of supervised practice on top.

01 Foundation
~30 min core · Week 1

What tarot is. How the deck works. How to ask the right question.

Tarot as GPS for decisions, not destiny. The 60% karma / 40% free will frame. The 78-card system. The four suits, four elements, and the numbers that thread through both arcanas.

  • The 78-card system, broken down
  • Major vs Minor: how each layer works
  • Suits, elements, and what each suit decides
  • How to phrase a question the cards can answer
  • How to prepare yourself before a reading
  • What tarot will not do for you
Numerology embedded Numbers 1–9, planetary correspondence, and colour associations. This is the foundation that makes every later card click — because each card you'll meet is a number wearing a costume.
02 Major Arcana
~1h 50m core · Weeks 2–3

22 big life themes — grouped in 5 phases.

The Fool's journey, mapped phase by phase, so you stop memorising 22 random cards and start seeing one story. Each card paired with its numerology reduction so the meaning compounds instead of competing.

  • Phase 1 — Discovering Yourself (Cards 0–4)
  • Phase 2 — Real World Hits (Cards 5–9)
  • Phase 3 — Life Changes You (Cards 10–14)
  • Phase 4 — Breaking & Rebuilding (Cards 15–19)
  • Phase 5 — Full Circle (Cards 20–21)
  • Each card: hook, meaning, one line to carry
Numerology embedded Every Major reduces to a single digit (XVI Tower → 1+6 = 7, XIX Sun → 1+9 = 10 → 1). You'll learn the pairing — which is why two readers can pull the same card and one of them will see twice as much.
03 Minor Arcana
~3h 44m core · Weeks 3–4

56 daily-life situations. Four suits. Numbers that map cleanly.

Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles — what each suit governs (drive, feeling, thought, body) and how the number on the card decides the temperature of the situation. Court cards last, because they make sense only after you know the numbers.

  • Wands: drive, momentum, ambition
  • Cups: feeling, relationship, intuition
  • Swords: thought, decision, conflict
  • Pentacles: body, money, the visible world
  • Numbers 1–10: same number, four flavours
  • Court cards: Page, Knight, Queen, King
Numerology embedded Aces = number 1 = beginning. Tens = completion. The same number across four suits gives you four different lives of one energy. By the end you read a Three of Cups and a Three of Swords with the same numerology backbone, just different rooms.
04 Yes / No Readings
~15 min core · Week 5

Quick verdicts for simple questions.

Not every question needs a five-card spread. The yes/no method gives you an unambiguous answer when you don't have the room for nuance — and teaches you when nuance is the wrong tool.

  • When a yes/no read is the right read
  • The 3-card yes/no method
  • The single-card verdict (and its limit)
  • Common yes/no traps to avoid
05 Practice + Spreads
~10 min core · Weeks 5–6

Putting it together. Reading for someone who is not you.

Three-card spreads, five-card spreads, the crossroads spread, the year-ahead spread. Practice readings done in pairs inside the cohort, supervised, with feedback you can use the next day.

  • Past–Present–Future in real time
  • Crossroads spread for big decisions
  • Year-ahead spread (12 months mapped)
  • Reading for a friend without spilling theirs
  • Common beginner mistakes to skip
  • Building your reading rhythm
06 Cohort Capstone
Final week

Three supervised practice readings. Certification on completion.

You read for three real people inside the cohort. Lavanya and your peers give written feedback on each one. Pass the capstone and you receive the Tarot With Lavanya — Foundation Reader certificate, which links back to this site.

  • Three live, supervised readings
  • Written feedback from Lavanya on each
  • Peer review from cohort members
  • Foundation Reader certificate (verifiable URL)

Tarot you can read. Numerology that sharpens it.

Most tarot courses skip the numerology. The numbers are right there on the cards, untranslated. This cohort hands you both. By week three, you read a Three of Pentacles and a Life Path 3 client and you see the same energy, just in different lives.

1

Number 1 — The Beginning

New starts, identity, leadership. Aces in tarot are number 1. The Magician is number 1. Anyone on Life Path 1 carries this energy as their default frequency.

Tarot pair: The Magician (I), Aces of all four suits
2

Number 2 — The Pair

Choice, partnership, balance. The High Priestess (II), the Lovers when reduced (VI → 6 / paired energy), and every Two card across the four suits.

Tarot pair: High Priestess (II), Twos in every suit
3

Number 3 — Expression

Creation, voice, growth. The Empress (III) is the headline 3, but every Three across the suits carries some form of expression — emotional, mental, physical, financial.

Tarot pair: The Empress (III), Threes in every suit
4

Number 4 — Structure

Stability, work, foundation. The Emperor (IV), and every Four. When you pull a Four for someone on Life Path 4, the reading doubles in weight — that's the bridge in motion.

Tarot pair: The Emperor (IV), Fours in every suit
7

Number 7 — Inner Work

Reflection, faith, search. The Chariot (VII), and the heaviest of the Sevens. The Tower reduces to 7 (XVI → 1+6). When you see 7 dominating a spread, the answer is rarely outside.

Tarot pair: The Chariot (VII), The Tower (XVI → 7), Sevens
9

Number 9 — Completion

Endings, fulfilment, release. The Hermit (IX), the Sun reduces to 1 but its sister Nine of Cups is the wish card. Anyone closing a chapter pulls Nines.

Tarot pair: The Hermit (IX), Nines in every suit

The full mapping (1 through 9 plus master numbers 11, 22, 33) is taught across the cohort. To go deeper before you apply, read the numerology pillar pages or try the free Life Path calculator.

Who this cohort is for.

Apply-only because the cohort is small. Both lists below are honest — if you read the second list and nod, save your application.

Apply if you

  • Have learnt tarot before but still can't read fluently or confidently
  • Have looked into numerology, tarot, or both, and want a real teacher
  • Are okay with two live calls a week for six weeks
  • Want to read for friends and family, or eventually take paid clients
  • Prefer a teacher who says "I don't know" when she doesn't know

Skip if you

  • Want a quick certificate to put on your bio
  • Want a teacher who promises specific dates and outcomes
  • Are looking for crystal remedies, ritual upsells, or paid mantras
  • Cannot make at least 80% of the live calls
  • Want the cards to tell you what to do, instead of what to consider

The "typical" column reflects the format of most well-known online tarot courses sold in India. Specific courses vary; a small number of teachers do match some of these standards. None we've reviewed match all twelve.

Six weeks. Live. Small group.

No assistant trainer. No pre-recorded substitutes for the live calls. Lavanya runs every cohort herself, and the materials are yours forever.

Live cohort calls

Two live group calls every week on Google Meet. Recorded if you miss one. Lavanya teaches, then takes questions for the second half.

1:1 mentorship

Two private 30-minute mentorship calls with Lavanya, scheduled where you need them — usually around weeks 3 and 6.

Practice pairs

You're paired with a cohort partner from week 2 onwards. Read for each other, swap notes, send recordings. Practice is the only way it sticks.

Certification

Pass the capstone (three supervised readings) and receive the Tarot With Lavanya — Foundation Reader certificate. Public verification URL on this site.

Numerology workbook

A printable workbook covering Life Path 1–9, master numbers 11/22/33, and the tarot–numerology pairings for each. Yours to keep, edit, mark up.

Private Whatsapp group

One group, your cohort only, for the six weeks. Ask questions between calls, share spreads, swap practice. Lavanya is in it daily.

Decks & resources

Recommendations on starter decks (Rider–Waite is the default — clear pictures, widely taught). Reading list, journaling templates, spread library.

Alumni access

After the cohort ends, you keep access to the materials and the alumni group. Future cohort drop-ins at no extra cost during the first year.

Rated 5 out of 5.

I walked in curious and walked out convinced. Lavanya delivers precise, grounded, results-based readings. She identified real situations and predicted with unsettling accuracy. She asked no leading questions and created no emotional dependency. She practices with old-school integrity: calm, honest, and effective.

Whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever of predictions or tarot reading, you must speak with Lavanya at least once. The amount of clarity, understanding, and depth she brings is unmatched. She doesn't sugar-coat anything — she tells you what's there.

Rated 5 out of 5.

So I had a very insightful session with Lavanya. What was most unique is that instead of using tarot as a predictive tool or declaring something set in stone, she explains what each card represents and lets you make your own decisions. That's the teaching mindset.

Questions before you apply.

If your question isn't here, drop it inside the application form — the answer comes back with your acceptance email.

Do I need any prior tarot experience to learn tarot reading in this cohort?
No. The cohort is taught from absolute zero. Half of every cohort to date has been first-time learners. The other half tend to be self-taught readers who want to fill gaps — usually around the numerology and the Minor Arcana.
Why teach tarot with numerology — what's the link?
Every tarot card carries a number. Major Arcana 0–21, Minor Arcana 1–10, court cards by their position in the suit. Numerology is already inside the deck — most courses just don't explain it. Once you learn the link, you read faster and more accurately, and you read across both systems for the same client. More on the numerology side here.
What if I miss a live call?
Every live call is recorded and shared in the cohort group within 24 hours. The cohort still works best if you make 80% of the calls live, since the second half is Q&A — but life happens, and you won't be left behind for missing one or two.
Is this an online tarot course or in-person classes?
Online — fully on Google Meet. Cohorts have included students from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Gurugram, the Gulf, the UK, the US, Australia, and Singapore. The 1:1 mentorship calls are also on Google Meet, scheduled in your timezone.
What language is the cohort taught in?
A mix of Hindi and English — naturally, the way Lavanya does her readings. If you understand either, you're fine. The workbook and slides are in English. Past cohorts have included students whose first language is Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, or Punjabi, and none have struggled.
Do I get a certificate at the end of the tarot reading course?
Yes — if you pass the capstone. The capstone is three supervised practice readings done in cohort weeks 5 and 6, with written feedback from Lavanya on each. Pass the capstone and you receive the Tarot With Lavanya — Foundation Reader certificate, with a public verification URL on this site.
Can I take paid clients after the cohort?
Most graduates start with friends and family for the first three months, then move to paid readings around month 3–4. Lavanya covers the practical side in the final week — pricing, ethics, what to never promise, and how to write a client brief. The certification helps with credibility but the practice is what builds the reputation.
What deck should I buy?
Rider–Waite. It's the default for a reason — clear pictures, widely taught, every later deck builds on it. Once you've finished the cohort, switch to whatever deck speaks to you. Lavanya recommends one Rider–Waite from a specific publisher (shared in the welcome email after acceptance).
What if I don't get accepted?
Applications are reviewed within 48 hours. If the fit isn't there — usually because of timing, language, or the fact that you're looking for ritual remedies rather than reading skills — you'll get a personal email back with the reason and a recommendation for what would suit you better. No money is taken until you're accepted.
How is this different from other tarot reading courses in India?
Three things. One: Lavanya teaches it herself, every cohort. Two: numerology is taught alongside tarot, not as a separate course. Three: the cohort is capped at 5 — you actually get seen and heard. Most online tarot courses in India are pre-recorded, taught by an assistant, and run with 200+ students. This one is the opposite of that.

Apply for the cohort.

A two-minute application. Lavanya reviews every submission personally. You'll hear back within 48 hours either way — with cohort dates, investment, and the start week. No payment is taken until you're accepted.
