    Step by Step

    How to do a tarot card reading

    Perform a single-card or Past/Present/Future Major Arcana tarot reading.

    Approx. 5 min

    1. 1

      Center your question

      Phrase a question that invites insight rather than a yes/no answer. Hold it in mind while you shuffle.

    2. 2

      Choose a spread

      Single card for a focused prompt, or three-card Past–Present–Future for context and direction.

    3. 3

      Draw the cards

      Tap the deck. Cards are drawn without replacement and may appear upright or reversed.

    4. 4

      Read each position

      Consider the card's meaning in light of its position. Reversals often signal blockage, delay, or an inward expression of the card.

    5. 5

      Tell the story

      Connect the cards into a narrative. The reading is the relationship between cards, not any single image.
