What To Expect From A Tarot Email Reading

The process begins when the client sends their question or area of focus for the reading.  We offer a two or three question reading – and you are asked to relay your questions when you book. Often these questions are specific to love, career, life decisions but also can be just a general guidance for a situation. This initial step helps the reader attune to the client’s energy and is important as the reader will pull specific cards for each question. The questions asked should be as clear and direct as possible for an email reading so the reader can focus on the actual message to deliver.

Before drawing the cards our Tarot readers will take time to prepare their space and focus their energy. This can involve a short meditation, lighting a candle, playing specific music or using crystals to enhance intuition. The intention is to create a calm and centred environment where the reader can connect deeply with the client’s question and the cards.
At this stage, some readers also set an intention for the reading, asking for clarity and insight from the cards to best serve the client. This ritual helps the reader enter a state of focus and openness, which is key to interpreting the cards intuitively.

Once the reader feels ready, they shuffle the deck while thinking about the client’s question. They might shuffle until a card “jumps out” or until they feel it’s the right time to stop. Some readers cut the deck into smaller piles and then draw cards from the top, while others might fan out the deck and intuitively select cards.
The number of cards and the type of spread used depends on the depth of the reading and the client’s needs. A simple three-card spread (representing past, present, and future) might be used for straightforward questions, while more complex spreads like the Celtic Cross can provide comprehensive insights into a situation. Each of our readers has their own favourite way of selecting spreads for email readings.

After drawing the cards, the reader interprets them in relation to the client’s query. Each card is analysed for its symbolic meaning, position in the spread, and how it relates to the other cards. For example, the appearance of “The Fool” in a spread could suggest a new beginning or the need to take a leap of faith, depending on its position and the surrounding cards. With Tarot the surrounding cards are often as important as the main card picked and show different interpretations of the main card.

Our skilled tarot reader combines their understanding of the traditional meanings with the intuitive messages they receive during the reading. This blending of knowledge and intuition allows for a reading that is both personalised and insightful, offering a deeper look into the client’s situation.

With the cards interpreted, the reader composes the email response. This part of the process requires thoughtful communication to ensure the client receives a clear and comprehensive explanation of the reading. The reader typically includes:

• A Summary of the Question and Focus: A recap of the client’s question to ensure alignment.
• Descriptions of Each Card: This includes the card’s imagery, traditional meanings, and how the reader interprets it in the context of the query.
• Insights and Advice: Suggestions for navigating challenges, understanding opportunities, and considering potential actions based on the cards.
• Closing Thoughts: Often, readers conclude with encouraging words or a reminder that the cards represent possibilities rather than fixed outcomes.

Once the reading is written, the reader sends the detailed response via email. The client can read the interpretation at their own pace, reflect on the messages, and revisit the email as needed. This written format provides a lasting record, allowing the client to return to the insights later as their situation evolves. A photograph of the spread may also be sent.
