Tarot is a tool for reflection and guidance. A reader uses a 78-card deck and a structured layout, or “spread,” to explore the energy around a question — not to predict a fixed, unchangeable future, but to reveal what is really happening and what you can do about it.
The two halves of the deck
The Major Arcana (22 cards) covers big life themes and turning points. The Minor Arcana (56 cards) covers day-to-day matters across four suits — Cups (emotions), Pentacles (money and work), Swords (thoughts and conflict) and Wands (energy and drive).
Common spreads
- Single card — a focused answer to one question
- Three-card — past, present, future or situation, action, outcome
- Celtic Cross — a ten-card deep dive into a situation
How to ask a good question
Open, specific questions get the clearest readings. Instead of “Will I be happy?”, try “What do I need to know about this job offer?” A focused question gives the cards something to answer.
Frequently asked questions
Is online tarot accurate? Yes — the reading responds to the energy of your question and the moment, not physical distance. Book a tarot reading to try it.
