Janet Berres has been studying astrology since the mid '70's, when she decided that in order to understand what her friends were talking about (who were astrologers) she would have to learn the language. Until the advent of the computer, she was mathematically challenged, and unable to construct a chart. A Level 1 certified NCGR member, Janet humorously  says she "channeled" the right answers for her test. However, her ineptness did not stop her love of astrology, and Janet has been a big promoter and advocate of NCGR for almost 30 years.

During 1992-1995 Janet co-owned a metaphysical bookstore that sponsored many events for astrologers and hosted speakers and workshops to further the enlightment of the astrological community. Her bookstore was the bookstore for the 1994 ISAR convention, and she is an avid reader on all esoteric and occult subjects.

Janet was President of the Northern Illinois Chapter of NCGR from 1995-1997 and expanded the membership to the second largest NCGR chapter at that time.

Her other great love is the tarot. Janet was Founder and President of the International Tarot Society, which she incorporated in 1997 and closed in 2003. As originator and chief organizer of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd World Tarot Congresses (1997, 1999 and 2002), Janet did the groundbreaking work of uniting tarot enthusiasts and professionals together to exchange ideas, build community, and create a forum for networking during these bi-annual events. Ten countries were represented at the conferences, along with 42 states from the U.S. Out of her inspiration, many other tarot conferences have since been produced.

Janet Berres has been a professional tarot reader since 1975 and the author of the recently published Your Guide to the Tarot, included in Llewellyn's Tarot Kit For Beginners.

Janet resides with her family in Morton Grove, IL.
