Sanyu Estelle, the 10th Dimension's Claircognizant Soothsayer
In times of uncertainty, we look for answers, direction and stability. Claircognizant Soothsayer Sanyu Estelle strives to show you the bigger picture, provide answers and help you chart a clear path forward.
Sanyu is known for her straightforward card reading style — ”the reading you need, not necessarily the reading you want.” Her readings incorporate her love for etymology (the origins of words) and philology (how words are used through culture).
See what’s in the cards — book your session with Sanyu in advance of the October Show here. Join us in the 10th Dimension for an immersive and revealing experience.
NAME: Sanyu Estelle
CITY: Los Angeles
HOW YOU GET IN THE ZONE FOR YOUR PRACTICE: I typically wake up (naturally, or by alarm, or by outside) and allow myself to lay in bed for a while before picking up my phone or going through “next day” thoughts. Instead I just allow myself to remember as much about my dreams as possible. If I don’t remember my dreams, I ruminate over how I felt waking up and going to bed. Then I’ll greet the day, take a shower, do my prayers and asks (I like to ask Existence for what I need), wash my face, make tea, moisturize, get dressed and sit in my altar space. From there I’m pretty much ready for anything.
TAKE US THROUGH A READING WITH YOU — WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES AND THE WORLD AROUND US? The most important thing for people to know with me is that you’re going to get the reading you need, not necessarily the reading you want. Unless you want what you need. In which case you’ll get both. Either way, we will definitely laugh, be surprised and approach the topic (you) from a new perspective. “Help me help you be okay with the fact that you’re alive” is one of my taglines. My readings are life affirming. They will show the bigger picture or the lay of the land. They will empower you to center yourself in your life with refreshed equilibrium and intention.
I read in what I call “The Deluge” style. Which means that I deliver a lot of information throughout our time together. This is why I have begun recording all of my client’s readings unless they request otherwise. This way you can listen back on yourself and me and reflect upon new things or old things from a different perspective. My goal is to put myself out of a job. Because if I’m good at my job you will no longer need me to read for you. And if I’m great at my job you can give the advice I gave you to others. I live by example, I keep my words and my life in as close alignment as possible. I help you do this in your way and ideally with a lot more joy.
WHAT’S IN THE CARDS FOR 2022? Being a Soothsayer means knowing there are many dimensions of truth(s). There are many different types of cards (tarot, oracle, playing cards) and there are many different types of people. We aren’t all going to end up in the same place. Even if we do, each of us is likely to interpret the circumstances of arriving and being in that place very differently.
I write like this not to be evasive, but because I’m what you might call a Quantum Witch. I know that Existence is both theoretically and actually infinite. And since the infinite holds the finite, I understand that all time exists at once. There are no past lives outside of younger versions of yourself. There are not future lives outside of older versions of yourself. There are only simultaneous parallel lives. It is becoming much more obvious that time and space are multidimensional. It is becoming clearer that there is no singular hierarchal narrative.
What is true is highly contingent on what people believe to be true. This means that we will continue to see the world go disparate ways. I wouldn’t call this bad or good, so much as transparent. We are recognizing how many realities exist and how many people exist from different realities. How each of us chooses to show up for what is taking place will strongly influence where each of us ends up personally.
The most evergreen advice I can give you that will prepare you for any dimension of Earth you find yourself an inhabitant of is, “If you were the version of yourself that you most preferred to be, how would you be acting differently as that version of you in EVERY SITUATION YOU ARE IN? Or would you be acting differently at all?” If you would act differently as your most preferred self in any situation, then you should act differently as your current self in all those situations.
WHAT YOU’VE BEEN WEARING LATELY: These days I’ve been wearing Kiki the Brand, custom pieces of clothing made from African textiles that I inherited from my late father, House of K, Oak + Fort, my Fenty Puma Creepers, my Sam Edelman lavender booties and a few other favorites.
WHAT YOU NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT: My mini backpack(s). Other than for formal occasions, and sometimes even for formal occasions, it has replaced my purse(s). I need something with pockets, I need something that can carry an odd assortment of belongs such as tarot cards, singing straw, talismans, external chargers, etc. I need something I can carry on my back, across my chest or in my hand. A mini backpack does all of these things while being very cute in the meantime.
