Antoniya
Brighton · Hove · East & West Sussex
I am Antoniya, a tarot reader in Brighton. For fifteen years I have given tarot readings in Brighton to people standing at a turning point — in love, in work, in themselves. No theatre, no fear. Just the truth, laid out gently on the table.
Whether you are looking for a tarot reading in Brighton, Hove or across East and West Sussex, my door is open. I also read by video for clients anywhere in the world, so distance never has to be a barrier to clarity. Every session is private, personal and built around the question that is really underneath the question.

The reader
I was taught to read by my grandmother in a kitchen that smelled of rosewater, long before I understood what I was holding. I was born in the spiritual mountains of Bulgaria, a landscape where folk wisdom, old songs and the turning of the seasons are still part of daily life. The women in my family read cards the way others read weather: not to impress, but to help a person understand what is already moving around them.
That inheritance travelled with me when I came to Brighton more than twenty years ago. I found a city that feels like a meeting place — the sea on one side, the South Downs on the other, and people from every walk of life passing through. It is no surprise that Brighton became the place where I would eventually open my own tarot reading room. The energy here is open, curious and unafraid of depth.
For well over a decade I have been the tarot reader Brighton people quietly recommend — in front rooms, in festival tents, at kitchen tables, and now in a small candlelit room of my own near the centre of the city. My clients come from Brighton, Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, Lancing, Chichester and many small towns across East and West Sussex. Some have been coming for years; others arrive with a single pressing question and leave with the beginnings of a plan.
My work is not prediction for its own sake. It is clarity. The cards show the shape of what you are already living, and together we name it. People come to me tangled and leave able to breathe, with one clear next step. Whether you are navigating a relationship, a career crossroads, a creative block, grief or a quiet, persistent sense that something needs to change, the tarot gives us a language for it.
Everything said at my table stays at my table. I read for people of every faith and none, and I will never tell you something to frighten you into returning. A tarot reading with me is a conversation — honest, respectful and gently held — between your own inner knowing and the story the cards reveal.
How a reading unfolds
A tarot reading is not a performance. It is a quiet, structured conversation that helps you hear what you already know.
01
You come to the room in central Brighton, or join me by video. There is no need to dress up, rehearse your question or pretend to be further along than you are. We begin with a cup of tea and a few words about what has brought you here.
02
I shuffle and you cut the deck. The spread we use depends on your question — sometimes three cards, sometimes a full Celtic Cross, sometimes a year-ahead wheel. The cards do not decide your future; they map the currents underneath it.
03
By the end of the session you have a clearer picture of your situation, the real choices available, and one practical next step. For online tarot readings I send a written summary and, if you wish, a recording.
Choose your reading
Three ways to sit with the cards. Every tarot reading in Brighton is held in person in my central Brighton room, or by video across East and West Sussex.
30 minutes
One question held closely and answered clearly. Ideal if you are standing at a single crossroads and need honest direction. We use a focused three-card spread to look at where you are, what is influencing you, and the most likely path forward. Many people book this as their first tarot reading in Brighton.
£40
60 minutes
A complete spread across love, work and self. We follow the cards wherever they lead and leave nothing unspoken. This is the most popular tarot reading I offer in Brighton, giving us enough time to explore the layers underneath your question and identify the practical steps you can take.
£70
90 minutes
Twelve cards for twelve months, mapped season by season, with written notes to keep and return to. Perfect for birthdays, new years, or any moment when you want to understand the longer arc of your life. We look at themes, opportunities, caution points and the inner work that will support you through the year.
£100
Near and far
My Brighton reading room is the heart of my practice, but I also read for people travelling from Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, Lancing, Chichester, Eastbourne and Lewes. If you live further afield in East or West Sussex, or abroad, online tarot readings by video are every bit as deep as sitting in person.
Kind words
I walked in convinced I already knew the answer. Antoniya found the question underneath it. Kindest hour I have spent in Brighton.
No smoke and mirrors. She said three things about my work that nobody else could have known, and she was right about all of them.
I was nervous about tarot. She made it feel like sitting with an old friend who tells you the truth.
I booked an online tarot reading from Chichester and was amazed at how connected it felt. The recording she sent afterwards is something I still return to.
Antoniya has a rare gift: she tells you what you need to hear without making you feel exposed. My third session this year.
I came for a year-ahead reading before a big career change. The cards helped me time things right, and the written notes are beautifully clear.
Before you book
If you are new to tarot, considering your first reading in Brighton, or wondering whether an online session will work for you, these answers should help. If your question is not here, you are welcome to send a message before booking.
Tarot readings in Brighton are held in a quiet candlelit room in central Brighton, a short walk from Brighton station and the Lanes. Home visits across Brighton and Hove can be arranged, and online readings are available worldwide.
Yes. As a Brighton tarot reader I see clients from across East and West Sussex — Brighton, Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, Lancing and Chichester — either in my Brighton reading room or by video anywhere in Sussex.
Readings start at £40 for a 30 minute single-question reading, £70 for a full 60 minute reading and £100 for a 90 minute year-ahead reading.
Nothing at all. Bring whatever is sitting heaviest on your mind. If you prefer, you can arrive with a question written down, but many people simply sit and let the cards open the conversation.
No. Antoniya reads with care and honesty, never fear. The cards describe patterns and choices, not fixed fates, and you always leave with something you can act on.
Yes. Online readings by video are identical in depth to in-person readings in Brighton, and you receive a recording and written summary afterwards. I read for clients across West Sussex, East Sussex, London and internationally, so you never need to miss a session because of travel.
Open questions about relationships, career changes, creative blocks, life direction, family patterns and timing tend to open the richest conversations. Tarot does not replace legal, medical or financial advice, but it does help you understand your own position more clearly so you can make decisions from a grounded place.
Most people return every few months, or when a new situation arises. I recommend leaving enough time between sessions for life to move — the cards respond to change, and too frequent readings can blur the picture. The year-ahead reading is designed to be a single, lasting compass for the twelve months ahead.
Absolutely. Everything shared in a tarot reading stays between us. I do not share details, store recordings beyond what is sent to you, or discuss clients with anyone. Discretion is a foundation of my practice, whether you visit in person in Brighton or meet online.
Yes. A tarot reading can make a meaningful gift for a birthday, anniversary, retirement or a friend going through a transition. Vouchers are available for any of the three readings and can be used in person in Brighton or by video anywhere in the world.
Readings are held daily in central Brighton, 10am until 8pm, seven days a week. Whether you want an in-person tarot reading in Brighton, a home visit in Hove, or an online session from anywhere in Sussex or beyond, the first step is the same: send me a message with a little of what is going on and I will find you a time.
