Houston – April 1 is known for pranks and surprises, but on Houston Life, we looked a little deeper. Professional tarot reader Amber Ambrose came back to Studio B to explore the meaning behind tarot and how it can be used for self-reflection.
The timing was fitting. In a tarot deck, the very first card is the Fool, a symbol that often gets misunderstood. Ambrose explained the card is numbered zero, representing unlimited potential and possibility before any direction is set. Rather than something negative, the Fool reflects a sense of curiosity, innocence and the idea that we are always learning as we move through life.
For those who may feel hesitant about tarot, Ambrose addressed a common concern. She said her readings are not about predicting the future or delivering bad news. Instead, she uses tarot as a tool to help people take a step back and better understand what may be happening beneath the surface, from emotions to thoughts that might not be fully processed.

“It’s really about self-reflection,” she shared, describing tarot as a way to explore what’s going on in your heart and mind.
That perspective is part of why tarot has become increasingly popular, both at private events and online. Ambrose regularly appears at gatherings and celebrations, offering readings that many people find empowering. She also shares daily birthday tarot readings on Instagram, giving followers a chance to see what themes may show up in their year ahead.
Rather than being told what to do, people connect with the imagery of the cards in a personal way, often finding validation in what they are already experiencing.
During the segment, the team put tarot to the test with a live birthday reading for Derrick. Ambrose pulled the King of Cups and the Page of Pentacles, watch the video plater above for Ambrose’s full reading for Derrick.
For anyone curious about tarot, Ambrose encourages keeping an open mind. Whether it is a daily reading online or a session in person, she says the goal is simple: to help people pause, reflect and better understand themselves.
