I am Ashwini Solanki, a published author, Tarot card reader, name numerologist, and an aspiring Vedic astrologer. I hold a B.Tech degree in Computer Engineering and am currently preparing for the UPSC examinations. Originally from Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, I now reside in Mumbai. At 28 years old, I am passionately pursuing my interests in spirituality, writing, and personal growth.
Where is your startup based out of ? Why do you think that is the best place for you ?
My startup operates primarily online, featuring an Instagram page called Healings With Ashwini and a YouTube channel under the same name.
How did you come up with the name for your business/startup?
As a Tarot card reader, I offer more than just readings—I also perform candle healings, cast spells, and provide crystal remedies. That’s why the name Healings With Ashwini perfectly represents what I do and who I am.
How did you decide to turn tarot reading into a business?
I am continuously learning and growing by observing my teachers and other content creators. Step by step, I am working towards expanding my business and broadening my horizons.
What were the initial challenges you faced when starting your tarot reading business?
Tarot reading is deeply rooted in intuition, as well as the activation of the crown and third eye chakras. Maintaining their activation typically requires regular meditation. However, my mutable nature makes meditation a challenge for me. Thankfully, being born on the 16th (which adds up to the number 7) has gifted me with strong natural intuition, enabling me to make accurate predictions with ease.
What types of tarot readings do you offer, and what makes them unique?
I offer all types of Tarot readings, including detailed spreads, single-question readings, and live sessions via video calls on Zoom. Clients are free to ask any questions they have, as I prioritize maintaining complete privacy and confidentiality. This ensures a stress-free experience where they can share and inquire openly without hesitation.
Why should people choose your services?
I believe in delivering honest and straightforward readings—I never sugarcoat and always call a spade a spade. Additionally, I keep my clients informed by sharing proof of the rituals I perform. For crystal bracelets, I provide lab certificates to ensure their authenticity, giving my clients complete confidence in the quality of my services.
Are there any special techniques or spreads that you use?
No there is nothing like special technique in tarot.
How do you keep your clients engaged and coming back?
Results aren't something I can promise, as they rely on the impact of my readings and healings. If my work resonates with clients, they are sure to come back.
How do you manage your appointments and client communications?
Clients can easily book a consultation directly with me on Instagram and select a time that works for them. The communication is casual and friendly—it's simply a direct, person-to-person conversation without any complex formalities.
Can you describe a typical day in running your tarot reading business?
It’s quite hectic, as I’m preparing for the UPSC exams while also managing my studies, Instagram Tarot readings, client appointments, and my YouTube channel. Balancing all these commitments requires careful time management and focus.
Talk about the biggest failure you've had. What did you learn from it?
I no longer view anything as a failure; I see them as valuable life lessons. There was a time when I was deeply disturbed by my graduation experience, as my college and the overall atmosphere there were quite discouraging.
How do you balance your personal life with running a business?
I'm still working hard to manage everything, even though it's becoming increasingly hectic with the growing workload. Despite the challenges, I'm doing my best to stay on top of everything.
What advice would you give to aspiring tarot readers or spiritual entrepreneurs?
Simply trust the universe, continue practicing meditation and spirituality, and spend as much time as you can in nature.
