Basic Tarot Spreads

Types of Online Tarot Reading

If you haven’t had a tarot reading previously, you might imagine a darkened room and a mysterious practitioner drawing multiple cards onto a velvet tablecloth and telling your fortune.

The modern world of psychic readings and tarot card interpretations is far more diverse.

Professional tarot readers study the symbolism and various meanings of each card and the Minor and Major Arcanas – these divinatory meanings dictate how the card relates to your life, energy, emotions, and future.

You can book a tarot reading to get a general idea about the direction you should take, consult an advisor to ask specific questions, or explore a particular part of your life where you need to make meaningful choices or feel unsure of the best route for you.

Some of the popular tarot card readings are listed below.

Celtic Cross Spreads

A Celtic Cross tarot card spread is among the best-known tarot readings and involves ten cards, each drawn one at a time and affecting the relevance of the meaning of the cards before and after and in the rest of the draw.

This online tarot reading is complex and unsuitable for beginner advisors, so you would expect to pay more for an experienced practitioner to perform a Celtic Cross spread and understand the messages it provides.

Celtic Cross tarot readings are designed to provide more in-depth answers and responses to complex scenarios. Every aspect of the draw is meaningful, including the direction each card falls when removed from the deck.

Three-Card Spreads

As you would expect, a three-card spread involves three tarot cards. It is one of the quickest and least skillful types of tarot reading – but even highly experienced practitioners offer three card spreads as they provide quick answers and useful insights.

The three cards are thought to each represent the past, present, and future.

Success Spreads

A success spread helps an advisor to provide advice and information for customers who have a problem, issue, or obstacle in their path that they are unsure how to overcome – or what the ramifications may be.

Tarot cards read in a success spread are thought to indicate the underlying colors of the challenge, assist people in choosing the right direction, or make proactive decisions towards a more positive future.
