Free tarot card reading
Choose a spread, hold your question in mind and pick your cards from the shuffled deck. Every card is read in its position, with what it means for love, work and money, followed by a summary of the whole spread.
Your question stays on your device; it is not saved or sent anywhere.
How to get a good reading
Settle on one clear, open question before you begin. "What do I need to understand about my work right now?" works better than "Will I get the job?". Choose a spread, press Shuffle, take a breath and tap the cards that catch your eye. Read each card in its position, then read them together as a story: the summary at the end shows which suits and themes dominate.
The spreads
- One card: a single card of guidance for the day, or a quick focus for any question.
- Yes or no: one card with a yes, no or maybe answer, and the reasons behind it.
- Past, present, future: the classic three-card spread showing how a situation developed and where it is going.
- Love, career and money: three cards each: your situation, the challenge or the other person, and the way forward.
- Life snapshot: six cards on how you feel, what you want, what you fear, what helps, what blocks and the likely outcome.
- Celtic Cross: the traditional ten-card spread for a full, detailed look at a question.

In the Western tradition (the Golden Dawn system, using the tropical zodiac), each Major Arcana card is linked with a planet, sign or element. The links are a different system from Jyotish, but the planets will be familiar.

Questions
Is this tarot reading free?
Yes. Every spread and every card meaning is free, with no sign-up. Your question stays in your browser.
Should I use reversed cards?
Reversed cards add nuance: blocked or inward energy. Beginners often prefer to leave them off; turn them on when you want a more detailed reading.
Can I ask the same question again?
It is better not to. Draw once, reflect on the reading, and return to it later. A link to your reading is in the address bar after the cards turn over.
Is tarot part of Jyotish?
No. Tarot is a European tradition of symbolic cards. For a reading from your birth chart, see the Kundli and the daily horoscope.
