Hello, lovely. I'm happy that you found your way here. I'm Ariana, also known as The Golden Venusian (formally known as My Venus Soul.) For my entire life, I've always been described as an old soul with a huge heart. Someone who has always been drawn to healing herself, as well as the world around her. From a young age, I felt a deep calling to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the world and on the people in it, but I wasn't sure until I enrolled into university. As I embarked on my journey towards achieving a BA in psychology, my goal was to become a cognitive behavioral therapist, which was inpsired by my own experiences with a *CBT* as I navigated life as a disabled person. I was determined to guide others towards positive change similar to how my therapist did for me, yet, as life progressed, so did my disabilities and my abilitiy to show up for myself in the ways that I was accustomed to. This changed everything. Despite nearing the final stretch of my university journey, I found myself feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from myself and my true passions. With the onset of the pandemic, I made the courageous and scary decision to pivot away from my comfort zone and align with my true passion and that is how my business was born. At the start of my journey, I thought this was more of a coincidence but looking back it was the exact opposite. Everything began to tie into my childhood fascination with magic 8 balls and divination tools to respecting and harnessing the power of the elements.

In 2019, I took a leap of faith and dived into the world of tarot. What began as a personal journey to uncover the depths of my soul ended up being something that I discovered that I wanted to share with the world around me. Starting with reading tarot for close friends and gradually expanding to strangers, I found joy in offering guidance and insight to others. With the launch of my Instagram account in 2020, I embraced the platform as a means of creative expression and connection. As word spread and my love for divination grew, I ventured into offering professional readings, doing collaborations, and even the birth of my very own website.

Today, I am filled with so much gratitude for the journey that has brought me here. With each reading, interaction, and opportunity, I find myself falling even deeper in love with what I do. Thank you for joining me on this journey and welcome to The Golden Garden.

With love, 

Ariana
