Choose a spread, ask your question, and turn the cards yourself. When the last card is up, the reading is written for you — free, with no account.
Pick a spread below. Type a question if you have one — or leave it empty and draw for what the day holds. Then shuffle: the deck riffles, the cards glide face down into their positions, and the table waits for you.
Turn the cards in any order. Each one carries its meaning into the reading as it is turned, with about a third of cards landing reversed. When the last card is up, a short written interpretation reads the spread as a whole — the cards in conversation with each other, and with your question. The whole thing takes two or three minutes.
The reading is yours to keep. Its link lays out the same cards and the same words for anyone you send it to.
The simplest reading and often the most honest. One card, drawn for the day ahead or for a single question that can bear a single answer. Many readers draw one each morning and let it colour the day.
The three-card line is the workhorse of tarot: quick to lay, easy to read, and flexible. Read here as past, present and future, it gives a situation a direction of travel.
The spread was set down in print by A. E. Waite in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1910) and was already old in practice. It is the reading most people picture when they picture tarot: a small cross of cards with a column standing beside it. Its strength is that it separates the layers of a question — what is happening, what caused it, what is pressing on it, and where it tends — so that a reader is not asked to draw everything from a single card.
You turn the cards. Nothing is revealed until you choose to look. Hover or tap a card before turning it and the table tells you what its position asks.
The interpretation is written, not templated. Beyond the meaning of each card, the reading is composed for your particular spread and your particular question — how the root feeds the present, where the line is heading. It is included, free, with every reading.
A deck of its own. The Dream Logic deck is the traditional seventy-eight cards drawn fresh, plus one card that belongs to this deck alone. Every card has its own page with the upright and reversed meanings.
Reflection, not prediction. An outcome card is a forecast if nothing changes, never a sentence. We would rather the reading gave you a clearer look at the question than a false certainty about the answer.
Yes. Every spread on this site — one card, three cards, the horseshoe, the Celtic Cross and the rest — is free, including the written interpretation of your cards. There is no account, no email, no trial and no card to enter.
No. Open a spread, type a question if you have one, and shuffle. Nothing is tied to your name; a reading exists only as its link, which you can keep or share.
The deck is shuffled with a fair random draw and the cards are dealt face down into the positions of the spread you chose. You turn them yourself, in any order. Each card's meaning appears as it is turned, and when the last card is up a short written interpretation reads the whole spread together, in light of your question.
You can, and a single card is the traditional way to do it. The cards rarely answer with a bare yes or no, though — they tend to say what the question is really about, and what to weigh. That is usually more useful.
Tarot is a way of looking at a question from a different angle, not a prediction of events. We say it plainly on every reading: readings are for reflection, not prediction. A good reading gives you language for something you already half know.
One card for a clear question or a daily draw. Three cards — past, present, future — for a situation with a direction. The Celtic Cross when you want the whole picture in ten cards. The spread guides explain every position.
Yes. After the cards are dealt the address of the page becomes a link to that exact reading: the same cards, your question, and the written interpretation. Copy it, or send it with the share buttons under the reading.
It is saved with the reading so the link works, and it is not connected to a name or account. Leave it blank if you would rather not save it — the reading works just the same. Details are on the About page.
