Psychic Aster Soluna Brings Tarot and a Little Magic to Lee Street This Halloween
From Tarot readings to Reiki and ancient mysticism, Old Town’s resident psychic invites Alexandrians to explore a little magic this Halloween.
ALEXANDRIA, VA — This Halloween, a little magic is coming to Lee Street. Psychic tarot reader and healer Aster Soluna will be offering readings in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday, October 31, giving curious visitors an opportunity to explore the mystical world of tarot.
Ever since moving to Alexandria several years ago and deciding to make spirituality his life’s priority, Aster Soluna has found himself in high demand. He can often be found leading private parties or even at Art in Bloom DC!
A Lifelong Fascination with the Mystical
At the age of 13, Aster received his first tarot deck for his birthday. Since then, he has immersed himself in mythology and esoteric practices, studying not only tarot but also astrology, numerology, ritual leading, Reiki, and even perfumery. He believes that “everything goes back to the spirit of connecting to something bigger than oneself.”
Aster is also co-founder of Three Cups Circle, a monthly online digest for those curious about metaphysics, spirituality, and philosophy. Together with his co-founders, he explores the elements, planets, tarot, and the ways we navigate reality through the lens of spiritual practice and personal stories.
“We share a name [Alexandria] with the famous city where a great library filled with esoteric teachings burned. Perhaps it’s our job to recover that knowledge, recreate that wisdom, and resurrect that magic. That’s why we started Three Cups Circle.”
On November 3, the publication will begin a new series exploring the chakras.
Translating the Language of the Spirit
In a recent interview with VoyageBaltimore, Aster described his unusual profession with a refreshing sense of humor:
“I give Psychic Tarot readings. (I know. You don’t hear that every day! It took me a while to get used to saying that without feeling a little crazy).”
His specialty, he explains, is translation.
“Using multiple tools and perspectives, I translate messages from your physical body, mental field, emotional self, and spiritual guides. Using this information, I can help you lock in to your highest timeline, make a decision, or find alignment and healing within the self or situation.”
Sometimes, he says, that means offering reassurance. Other times, it means helping someone navigate the possibility of a major life transition.
Aster describes his work as helping people reorganize their perspectives, understand their emotions, and recognize possibilities they may not have considered.
“There are many experiences around you, all a half-step away. Think Everything Everywhere All at Once. All of your experiences are in one room at all times.”
He sees himself as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, helping clients find meaning in the energies and experiences surrounding them.
“I do my best work at the intersection of reality and potential,” he says.
Tarot, Reiki, and the Mind-Body Connection
His readings are holistic, drawing on different disciplines depending on the needs of the client. A session might begin with tarot, shift to astrology to explore questions of timing, or incorporate Reiki when emotions arise.
Aster has also recently launched a new signature offering called Somatic Tarot, blending hypnosis, subtle-body yoga, tarot, and guided meditation. The experience is designed to help participants explore and mend the relationship between mind and body.
He also offers monthly Reiki sound baths at Refresh in Old Town. His next gathering, on November 1 at 7:30 p.m., will celebrate ancestors, an especially fitting theme for the Halloween season.
Making Magic in Alexandria
And what does Aster think of his adopted hometown?
“I jokingly say that Alexandria is home because I used to live in Egypt in another life. The older I get, the more I think that it may be less of a joke than I think.”
“It just seemed like the right place to make magic happen in our world.”
Perhaps there is no better time than Halloween to find out what the cards have to say.
Aster Soluna will be reading tarot on Lee Street in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Visitors can stop by to witness a little magic in person.
For private readings and additional information about his offerings, Aster can be found online at @AsterSoluna.
