In a post lockdown world where uncertainty rules everyone, we have seen more & more people turning towards religion, spirituality to find an anchor. Astrology, Tarot, Yogic & Pranic sciences have all become a means to find healing and answers.
In this rapidly emerging world of the above practitioners, we found one who stood out with her deep integrity, commitment & empathy…..Amee ShivRam, founder of Amee’s Tarot World. Ranked #3 among Indian Celebrity Tarot Card Readers.
She has been awarded “Eminent Tarot Reader of India 2021” in March 2021.
Her book “Auroraa – the light within” was published in 2021 and was a best seller in the inspirational and self-help books category.
WS: Your journey into tarot and healing is both unique and inspiring. Can you take us back to the moment you realized this was your true calling?
AS: It all started with a dream where I saw a bejewelled hand giving me some kind of cards. I realised in a few days that those were not ordinary cards but Tarot Cards. I followed the dream and started doing readings for friends and family. In a couple of years people started getting back testifying what the cards had predicted. I was in a corporate job at that time and this was just a hobby. True calling came in 2018 when I had another dream where I heard a voice saying I need to reach more people as they are waiting for me. Eerie as it can get, around the same two random people called me and said they had dreams of me guiding people and people waiting in a line to meet me respectively. I took it seriously and focused completely on my calling and cards blessed me abundantly. Rest as they say is history !!!
WS: Tarot reading often goes beyond predictions—it becomes a path to healing and self-awareness. How do you integrate spiritual guidance into your sessions?
AS: I think after a period of time it just comes naturally. Self awareness comes first. In a day, I speak to or meet 10-12 clients on an average. Everyone comes to me with problems and hopes to get some relief or answers. I can’t start to explain how this affects me at all levels. It starts with feeling empathetic, grateful for having a better life and then questioning the very base and need of existence. It breaks you. As years passed something kept shifting within me as well. Spirituality came naturally. Understanding life beyond the practicalities and complexities, focusing on the macros of how the physical universe works and how we are part of a greater non physical form of existence, journey of the soul spread across lifetimes etc. It was and still is overwhelming most of the days.
WS: You’ve built a strong community on social media. What role has Instagram played in growing Amee’s Tarot World, and how do you maintain authenticity in the digital space?
AS: I think I will give a lot of credit to Instagram and Social Media apart from word of mouth publicity in placing me where I am as a professional. Authenticity is the only ingredient that will build a strong base in anything that you do. It does not need any effort or special attention. In fact, lying without being genuine needs a lot of effort and planning. Till date I don’t follow the trends or post things just to stay relevant. If you are authentic and genuine you will always be relevant. It never goes out of style.
WS: Many people turn to you during times of uncertainty. How do you stay grounded and emotionally balanced while guiding others through their challenges?
AS: This needs a lot of effort and mental equilibrium. It is not easy to stay positive, grounded or even happy after you hear tragedies, emotional abuse or problems everyday for 7-10 hours. What works for me is I have a switch on and switch off mode. If I am guiding you in a session I will feel you but the moment the session is over I will not waste a minute thinking about what we spoke. Of course this has come after years of effort. Initially I used to break down at night and used to worry about how fragile and unpredictable life is. Our job is difficult. We take so much negativity that it can make us very bitter as a person. We have to constantly choose positivity over all the negativity thrown at us. It’s a full time and very exhausting job.
WS: What misconceptions do people often have about tarot or spiritual healing, and how do you address them in your work?
AS: Ohh there are many. People feel that this is magic and readings alone can change lives. No it doesn’t. Cards or spiritual guidance will guide you on how things can pan out and what you should do so it works out in your best interest. Efforts and hard work is what you have to put in. In all my sessions I always reiterate that we are not God, take this as a guidance and work your actions around this guidance. That is how it will work. You want to go to a destination and the quickest way is by airplane but there are trains, buses and cars too that will take you there. Our guidance will tell you which is the quickest or the safest way and the best time to visit but we will not book tickets for you. That’s your job. You can’t sit at home and only wish and not book tickets or plan the journey and then say that spiritual master told me I will one day go there but I am still sitting at home and nothing happened as predicted or guided. As simple as that.
WS: Could you share a powerful or memorable experience that reinforced your purpose in this field?
AS: There are so many. But one such experience gave me a lot of confidence about my work because it was the first of its kind. One client came to me and said she was heading towards a divorce with her husband. I told her I don’t see a separation because I see them living together for the longest time and having children too. A few months later she called me and said “Amee I came to you with a lot of hope but I am disappointed to tell you that my divorce just got final last week and I am separated from Ashish”. I was surprised so I again pulled out a card and I still saw them together. I told her this should not have happened and I am sorry. A year later she called me again. Her exact words “Amee I have no words to express my shock and surprise but you should know this first. After our divorce me and Ashish realised how wrong we were in taking a divorce. We are getting married again next month” This was a few years ago and in 2025 they welcomed their twin boys. This one case will always be close to my heart.
WS: As a Woman Entrepreneur in the wellness space, what advice would you give to women who want to turn their passion into a purpose-driven career?
AS: Take time to decide on what you want to do. Once decided, plan appropriately. Once planned, take small but concrete steps. Revisit and re-strategise if needed. Your greatest strength or strategy in the wellness field should always be helping people feel better and always being straight and filter free. Don’t give false hopes. Don’t judge people or their situations. Be discreet. Don’t have opinions. Focus only on how you can help. Don’t strive to be right all the time. Nobody is always right. And above all, always remember money will be a by-product. It cannot be your purpose. The day you start chasing money, you will fall. Focus on doing good, money will follow you.
WS: Tell us about your show on Finance? What is it about? Does it really work?
AS: I have been doing Stock Market predictions through Tarot Cards and Numerology through my show “Finance Vaani”. This airs on Tata Play, Dish TV and Airtel TV. The guidance is purely based on occult and not financial calculations. We will soon complete 3 years. The show predicts movements in Sensex, Nifty, Bank Nifty, Global Markets, Commodity Markets and Crypto markets.. It also guides how numbers will impact the market and your mindset in the week to follow. We also take questions from our viewers every week.
WS: You also do a show on radio? Is that reading cards & answering questions from listeners?
AS: Radio is more of a life coach and spiritual guidance based podcasts. We talk about the current topics or some news and discuss it from a psychological, spiritual point of view. Sometimes we do live Tarot Readings for our listeners.
