Cards as a Mirror
Tarot cards can't give you a reliable answer about what another person thinks or will do. Instead, they show you your side of the story: what's holding you back and what step is yours to take.
Read along
Cards won't tell you what another person is going to do. They are not a telescope you can point at someone else. Think of them as a mirror. You can only see your own reflection. The mirror shows what's holding you and what might be slowing you down. This is an invitation to see what your own next step could be. Draw your cards for free at theastroacademy.com.
A reading by email, in four steps
A reading by email is a written reading of your own cards. You draw them yourself, I read them. It takes you two minutes and me a little longer, because I read every reading myself before it goes to you.
- Your questionWrite down what is on your mind. An open question gives me more than a yes or no.
- Deck and spreadOne, three or five cards, and for Lenormand and Kipper the big spread with all 36 cards.
- Draw the cardsYou tap the cards in the fan. The shuffle is random, every card has the same chance.
- My readingWithin a day it is in your account. I answer your questions about it in the chat.
Asking the cards a question: how to make it good
People who want to ask the cards a question often ask what someone else thinks or will do. Cards give no honest answer to that. They show you your side: what holds you, what slows you down and which step is yours. That is why these questions work best:
- "What do I need to choose between the two jobs?"
- "What am I overlooking in my relationship right now?"
- "How will I notice that the move suits me?"
- "What keeps me from having that conversation?"
A yes-or-no question is still fine. Then I read what in your cards speaks for the yes and what against it, and the decision stays with you. For quick yes-or-no answers to lay yourself there is the tarot spreads directory.
Which deck fits your question
I read all four decks. They speak different languages, and the right one makes the reading clearer.
Tarot: 78 cards for inner questions
Tarot has 22 major and 56 minor arcana. The major ones stand for the big themes of a stretch of life, the minor ones for everyday life within it. Tarot fits when it is about you: feelings, decisions, what you want to let go of or start.
Lenormand and Kipper: 36 cards for everyday life
Lenormand cards show simple pictures like Ship, House or Letter and are read in pairs. Kipper cards show people and roles, from the official to the false person. Both suit concrete questions about work, family and how things unfold. In the grand tableau all 36 cards are dealt at once.
Oracle cards: a calm message
Oracle cards have no fixed order like tarot. Each card carries a message that I read for your question. They fit when you are looking for a prompt rather than an analysis.
An honest reading: how to tell
Many reading services run on phone lines with per-minute rates. The longer the call, the more it costs. With me you pay a fixed price that is shown up front and get a reading you can read and reread in peace.
- No predictions about death, illness or pregnancy.
- No statements about what another person thinks or feels.
- No fear of bad luck and no rituals that cost extra.
- A fixed price, no subscription, 14-day money back.

How often does a given card land in your spread?
With three tarot cards a given card lands in 3.8% of spreads, with Lenormand in 8.3%. With 78 cards the tarot has more than twice as many as Lenormand or Kipper with 36 each, so each single tarot card comes up less often.
Three tarot cards in a fixed order make 456,456 different spreads, without reversed cards. Two people drawing the same spread is rare, which is why I read each one on its own.

| Deck | Cards | 1 card | 3 cards | 5 cards | Three-card spreads |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tarot | 78 | 1.3% | 3.8% | 6.4% | 456,456 |
| Lenormand | 36 | 2.8% | 8.3% | 13.9% | 42,840 |
| Kipper cards | 36 | 2.8% | 8.3% | 13.9% | 42,840 |
| Oracle cards | 40 | 2.5% | 7.5% | 12.5% | 59,280 |
Method: pure mathematics. k of n cards drawn without replacement, every card equally likely: chance = k ÷ n; ordered spreads = n · (n − 1) · (n − 2). Reversed cards not counted.
Questions about personal readings online
- How does a card reading by email work?
- You write your question, choose a deck and a spread and draw the cards here on the page. You send me the cards with one click. I read them for your question and release your reading within a day; you get an email with the link.
- Is a psychic reading online legit?
- Cards do not predict the future, and I am not a psychic. A reading is honest when it says so: a fixed price instead of a per-minute rate, no fear of curses or bad luck, no promises about other people. I read your cards as a mirror: what do they show about your situation, and what can you check yourself?
- How do I ask the cards a good question?
- Open questions give more than yes-or-no ones. Instead of "Will he come back?" try "What do I need in this relationship right now?". Ask about yourself and your next step, not about someone else's thoughts.
- Tarot, Lenormand, Kipper or oracle: which deck fits?
- Tarot fits questions about you, your feelings and decisions. Lenormand is concrete and close to everyday life, good for questions about work, money and how things unfold. Kipper cards show many people and roles, good for family and relationships. Oracle cards give a calm message, good as a prompt for the day.
- How fast do I get my reading?
- Within a day. I read every reading myself before I release it, so it is not there instantly. Until then you can write to me in the chat.
- Can I ask follow-up questions?
- Yes. I answer your questions about the reading in the chat. With the card reading the whole app is unlocked for you too, for good and with no subscription.
- What do I not read about?
- I make no predictions about health, pregnancy, death, legal matters or investments. There are professionals for that. If you ask about them, I read how you handle your situation and what helps you with it.
