In a semi-virtual world where ChatGPT is getting dumber by the day, there’s a whiff of mysticism in the Montreal air. People no longer date those with incompatible zodiac signs—they don’t have time; it’s a full moon. More and more cafés, pop-ups, and shops are offering Montrealers the chance to have their futures read in the cards.
Montrealers are getting their Tarot readand learning to decipher its medieval-style imagery, and it’s all happening in thecity’s trendiesthotspots… And at the new downtown social sauna, ASTRO TAROT nights blend Tarot, thermotherapy, human connection, and astrology.
The JOY Wellness Club
Living in the city is inherently uncomfortable. Packed into Aritzia suits, pressed up against one another in tiny elevators and on tiny, slippery, shiny plastic subway seats.At JOY, for the vagaries of modernity, there are modern solutions. There are guided meditations—today’s theme is positive thinking—andlight therapy, and a way to soothe the nervous system based on scientific principles.
JOY is the brainchild of Anne Joyal (Strøm Spa) and her sisters, and is located right in downtown, where the former café of the luxury department store Holt Renfrew used to be.
By adding the “alternative medicine” of tarot and astrology, JOY lives up to its name. It promises “astrology, tarot, thermotherapy, and human connection.”
