How a reading works

Simple, and honest about the cards.

  1. 1

    Bring your question

    Create an account and tell us what's on your mind — or browse first. There's no pressure to commit.

  2. 2

    Choose how you want it

    A written reading delivered within two days, or a live video session you book into an open time.

  3. 3

    The cards are drawn

    Your reader draws from the full 78-card deck and lays the cards into the spread that best suits your question, reading each card in its place.

  4. 4

    Receive your reading

    You get the cards laid out in the spread's true shape, each position interpreted in plain language. It stays in your account.

A spread for every kind of question

Twenty-seven layouts — from a single Daily Draw to the full Celtic Cross — each laid out in its true shape.

Daily Draw Yes or No Past / Present / Future This or That Problem & Solution You & Them Situation / Action / Outcome Mind / Body / Spirit Strengths / Weaknesses / Advice Stop / Start / Continue New Moon Intentions + 16 more

A complete 78-card deck

Readings use the full tarot — all 22 Major Arcana, the great turning points and themes of a life, and the 56 Minor Arcana across the four suits of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles, each rendered as original artwork.

Cards are read in the place they land, upright or reversed, and held against your question. Nothing is rushed and nothing is hidden — the cards that come up are the cards your reader works with, and the reading you receive is theirs, written for you.
