Yes or No
One card, one answer. The reading tarot is worst suited to and most often asked for, done honestly rather than flattered.

Week Ahead
One card for each day of the coming week. A short, checkable spread that teaches the deck faster than almost anything else.
Every spread has a guide
Each spread page explains what it is for, how to read the positions in relation to each other, and, more usefully, when not to use it. Those pages are free and do not require a reading.

Straight answers, without the mystique.
Fewer than you want to. One card answers a specific question better than ten, and a ten-card spread on a small question produces seven cards of noise you will then find meaning in. Start with one or three.
One that starts with "what" or "how", and is about you. "What am I not seeing about this offer?" works. "Will he call?" does not. It is predictive and about someone else's behaviour.
You can turn them off before any draw. If you are new, we suggest starting upright-only and adding reversals once the upright meanings feel automatic. Plenty of professional readers never use them at all.
It is stored with the cards, their positions, the interpretation and your notes, and it counts toward your reading streak. You can add notes to it later, link a journal entry to it, or share it by link if you choose to.
