Hello, I'm Adam Fernandes, and I'm based in beautiful Melbourne, Australia.
My relationship with the Tarot began over 25 years ago, when I was just 16 years old. Like many teenagers, I was trying to figure out who I was and where I belonged. I picked up my first deck out of curiosity, but what I found in those cards was something far deeper—a mirror that reflected my own inner world back at me with startling clarity.
For most of those 25 years, my practice was personal. Tarot was my private compass—a tool I turned to during life's inevitable storms, quiet moments of doubt, and times of major transition. I read for myself, for close friends, and occasionally for family, but I never imagined it would become something I would share with the wider world.
Then, something shifted.
After two and a half decades of relying on the cards for my own guidance, I felt a calling to go deeper. I made the decision to formally study the Tarot in a way I never had before—not just as a personal hobby, but as a craft I could offer to others with integrity, skill, and genuine care. That decision led me here, to you.
When I'm not working with the Tarot, I wear many hats. By day, I work full-time in project management and volunteer coordination, where I've learned the art of navigating complex systems, managing competing priorities, and—most importantly—supporting people through challenging situations. I also provide pastoral support, which has taught me how to hold space for people in moments of vulnerability with empathy, patience, and absolute confidentiality.
I am also, at my core, an activist. My colleagues and community know me as someone who speaks up for what matters. I am passionate about mental health advocacy, workers' rights, racial justice, and queer rights. These aren't just abstract beliefs for me—they are values I live by, and they shape the way I show up in every area of my life, including my readings. My table is, and always will be, a safe and affirming space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.
My life experience means that I’m able to contextualise your reading in various contexts. Whether you’re navigating a politically charged environment in the office, or you are involved in politics and activism, or you are simply looking to improve on your self-care plan.

While Tarot is my primary tool, I have a deep and growing love for Astrology. I am currently developing a new service offering for clients who want to explore the stars as deeply as they explore the cards. Whether you are curious about your natal chart, seeking insight into a relationship through synastry, or simply wanting to understand the cosmic weather influencing your life right now, I hope to soon offer you a reading that bridges the celestial and the earthly.
Keep an eye on my services page—this is a space that is evolving, just like all of us.
Life isn't all about work and spirituality. When I'm not at my desk or behind the cards, you'll likely find me doing one of a few things:
I don't believe in a fixed, unchangeable future. I believe in possibility. I believe that the cards—and the stars—are tools to help us see ourselves more clearly, so we can make empowered choices in the present.
Whether you are here because you're lost, curious, or simply ready to grow, I would be honoured to walk alongside you for part of your journey.
