About Cheryl Kerr: 34 Years of Tarot Experience
A Life Rebuilt More Than Once
I’m Cheryl Kerr, based in Liverpool, UK. I’ve worked with Tarot for 34 years, read professionally for 15 of them and built a reputation backed by more than 600 five-star reviews.
In February 2026, I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer that had spread to my liver. It has changed what I can physically do, but it hasn’t erased what I know.
This website is where I’m bringing that knowledge together - directly, honestly and without pretending that Tarot is 78 separate meanings to memorise.
How It All Started
My mum gave me my first deck of Tarot cards in 1991. I began by reading for friends and family and quickly realised that the cards made sense to me as a connected system — not as 78 separate definitions from a book.
Over the years, I’ve studied Tarot, astrology and personal development while continuing to learn through real readings and real people. I’m also a qualified Spiritual Life Coach, Heal Your Life teacher and Law of Attraction teacher.
But qualifications are only part of the story. Most of what I know about Tarot has come from 34 years of using the cards, noticing their patterns and seeing how they behave when life is complicated, contradictory and rarely as tidy as a textbook suggests.
I Know What It Means to Start Again
I left school with two GCSEs and joined the Civil Service at 19. Ten years later, I got bored, moved into sales and relocated “temporarily” to South Wales — where I stayed for the next ten years.
I started a company, employed 40 people and became very successful. I bought the big houses, drove the fancy cars and had the life I thought success was supposed to look like.
Then the economic downturn hit. Our funding was pulled, I had to lay everyone off and put the company into liquidation. I filed for personal bankruptcy and lost everything, including three properties.
I returned to the Civil Service.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. I moved home to Liverpool while I was still receiving treatment, but ongoing complications and other health conditions eventually meant I could no longer continue in that career.
I’ve had to rebuild my life more than once. Tarot has never been about escaping reality or pretending everything happens for a lovely spiritual reason. For me, it has always been a way of looking directly at what is happening, understanding the forces at work and deciding what to do next.
When my Civil Service career ended, I trained as a Spiritual Life Coach, Heal Your Life teacher and Law of Attraction teacher. I began running personal-development workshops around Liverpool and built Cheryl Kerr Tarot Readings into a successful business.
I couldn’t afford to pay somebody to build my first website, so I taught myself. I’ve since built more than 40 websites and used those skills to establish my own business online.
Alongside giving professional Tarot readings, I’ve taught workshops, written extensive Tarot material and co-created four books and daily planners exploring basic witchcraft, astrology and the cycles of the Moon.
I’ve never followed a conventional route. I learn what I need to learn, build what I need to build and find another way forward when the original plan falls apart.
Building a Different Kind of Career
What Happens Now?
Stage four cancer has forced me to reconsider how I work and what deserves my limited energy. I don’t want every good day to be swallowed up by deadlines or work that requires me to be constantly available.
My priority is making memories with my daughter and building a life around my health - not pretending my health can fit around a business.
I’m now using this website to bring 34 years of Tarot knowledge together properly. I’ll be writing about card meanings, combinations, Court Cards, numbers, elements and the patterns that connect the entire deck.
There will be no dramatic promises and no punishing publishing schedule. I’ll add to the site when my health and energy allow.
This is more than another business project. It is my legacy - somewhere for everything I’ve learned to live beyond my head and remain useful long after I’m gone.
