The Person Behind the Cards
About Selene Vale
Twenty years of reading cards for people at kitchen tables. Now I write it down instead.
Who I am
I've been reading tarot for a little over twenty years, and for most of that time it wasn't a business — it was something I did for friends, at kitchen tables, usually late, usually after someone had already told me the real problem before the cards ever came out. That's still how I think about a reading. The cards don't know anything I don't already half-know myself. What they do is slow me down long enough to look at it straight.
The Cosmic Heart is that kitchen-table practice, scaled up and written down. I built it for people who want a few honest minutes with their own heart before the day gets loud — not a fortune, not a verdict, just a mirror with good lighting. I write every reading, every sign portrait, and every essay on this site myself, and I read them again before they go live.
What this site is
The Cosmic Heart offers a daily love tarot pull, a zodiac compatibility reading, a pick-a-card practice, twelve sign portraits, and essays where the cards meet ordinary life — money, distance, endings, paperwork. Everything here is free. Nothing here requires an email address to use.
The honesty policy
This is important enough to say plainly: everything on this site is offered for reflection and entertainment. Tarot and astrology are old storytelling systems, not predictive sciences, and I don't sell certainty because I don't have any to sell. No reading here promises a specific outcome, tells you what someone else is thinking, or replaces a conversation you're avoiding. If a card or a sign portrait ever reads like a guarantee, that's a writing failure on my part, not a claim I intend to make.
For anything that touches your health, your finances, your legal standing, or your safety, please talk to a licensed professional instead of a website. See the full disclaimer for specifics.
How this site is made
Every page on The Cosmic Heart is hand-reviewed before publishing — for tone, for accuracy about the basics of astrology and tarot (elements, modalities, card meanings drawn from established tradition), and for whether it holds to the honesty policy above. If you spot an error, a broken link, or a claim that oversteps, tell me — see the contact page. I'd rather fix it than leave it standing.
