Email Tarot Reading Process
When You Book: After completing your booking, you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire. This asks about your situation, the challenges you’re facing, and the specific guidance you’re seeking. Take your time with these questions—the more thoughtful and honest you are, the more insightful your reading will be.
My Preparation: I carefully read every word you’ve written. I don’t rush through your story or skim your questions. I take time to understand the nuances of your situation, the emotions you’re experiencing, and what you truly need guidance about.
Connecting With Your Energy: At the specific date and time of your booking, I sit down in my sacred reading space to connect with your energy. This isn’t about psychic powers or mystical abilities—it’s about creating a focused, intentional space where I can tune into the energy of your situation and questions. I meditate on what you’ve shared and wait until I feel a genuine, strong connection has been established. I never rush this step.
Selecting Your Cards: Once I feel connected to your energy and questions, I select and pull cards specifically for your unique situation. Each card is drawn with intention, and I pay close attention to how the cards relate to each other and to your specific circumstances.
Writing Your Reading: I then spend time crafting a detailed, personalised written interpretation. This isn’t a quick, generic response—I carefully consider each card’s meaning in the context of your specific situation, exploring patterns, insights, and guidance that addresses what you’re really asking beneath the surface question.
Delivery: Within 48 hours (often sooner), you’ll receive your comprehensive reading via email. This becomes your permanent record—something you can return to again and again.
The Gift of Time: Unlike live readings, where information comes quickly and can be hard to fully absorb in the moment, email readings give you the gift of time. You can read your interpretation when you’re calm and centred. You can sit with the insights. You can return to it days, weeks, or even months later and often discover new layers of meaning that you weren’t ready to see the first time.
Professional Training and Ethics: My reading process follows the methodology specifically developed and taught by Biddy Tarot, one of the world’s most respected and established tarot training schools. I earned my professional certification through their comprehensive program, which emphasises ethical practices, client empowerment, and guidance-focused (not predictive) readings. When you work with me, you’re receiving guidance backed by proven techniques and professional standards.
You’ll receive your reading within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment time—and usually much sooner.
Here’s how it works: When you book, you choose a specific date and time for your reading. Think of this as your “appointment” with me. At that exact time, I sit down in my reading space to focus completely on you—reading your questionnaire, connecting with your energy, pulling your cards, and beginning to craft your interpretation.
From that appointment moment, you can expect your detailed reading within 48 hours. Most clients receive theirs within 24 hours, but I give myself up to 48 hours to ensure I’m not rushing your reading or compromising the quality of guidance.
For example: Book for Wednesday at 10:00 AM? I’ll start your reading at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, and you’ll have your completed reading by 10:00 AM on Friday (often by Thursday or even late Wednesday).
Why schedule a specific time? Because your reading deserves dedicated, focused attention. When I sit down at your scheduled time, you’re not just “next in the queue”—you have my full presence and intention. This creates a stronger, more meaningful connection.
What if I need it urgently? If you have a time-sensitive situation, choose the earliest available appointment time and mention the urgency in your questionnaire. I’ll do my best to deliver your reading as quickly as possible.

Confidentiality is the essence of the Life Tarot Advisor principles and part of our Privacy Policy. The content shared during the tarot reading sessions is secure and will not be shared with any third party without your express permission. As part of our duty of care, there is a mandatory obligation for the reader to inform appropriate authorities if there is self-harm or harm from another or is intended harm to someone else.
No. Your questions and reading remain completely confidential.
Legally and ethically:
- I am bound by professional confidentiality standards
- I comply with data protection regulations
- Your information is never sold, shared, or distributed
- Only you and I have access to your reading
This means:
- Your questions won’t appear anywhere publicly
- I don’t share anonymised versions without permission
- I don’t discuss client readings with anyone
- Your personal information is securely stored
The only exception: If legally required to disclose information (such as in cases involving harm to self or others), though this is extremely rare in tarot practice.
Your reading is yours alone. If you choose to share it, that’s your decision. But from my side, absolute privacy is guaranteed.
For additional information please read our Privacy policy and Code of Ethics.
There will always be a primary question that is the reading’s focus and purpose.
Any supplementary questions related to the main question can be considered additional information and will only sometimes be answered or covered as part of the main reading.
Don’t worry—the questionnaire is straightforward and non-invasive. During online booking you’ll be asked about:
- Your situation and what’s been happening
- The specific guidance or clarity you’re seeking
- Any relevant background or context
- What actions did you take before (if you did)
- What you hope to understand or resolve
How much detail do I need to share?
Share whatever feels comfortable and relevant. Some clients write a few sentences; others write several paragraphs. There’s no “right” amount—just be honest about your situation so I can provide the most helpful guidance.
What if I’m not sure how to explain it?
That’s okay! Just write what you can, and I’ll work with what you share. If I need clarification, I can always follow up.
What if my situation is private or embarrassing?
Everything you share is completely confidential. I’ve heard it all, and there’s no judgment—only compassion and support. See our privacy policy here.
Yes, and I encourage it! Sometimes after sitting with a reading, you realise you want to understand certain parts more deeply, or you’re ready to explore an insight that felt too big to process at first.
That’s why I offer 15 minutes of personalised support via Zoom to go deeper into your original reading.
Here’s what’s important: This isn’t a new reading where I pull new cards. Instead, we dive deeper into what was already revealed in your original reading. Think of it as zooming in on specific parts to see them more clearly and understand them more fully.
How it works: When you book (either with your initial reading or afterwards), you’ll tell me what aspect of your reading you’d like to explore more deeply. I’ll review your original reading before our session so we can make the most of our time together.
This personalised support is perfect when:
- A particular card or message is staying with you and you want to understand it better
- You need help seeing how different parts of your reading connect
- You want to talk through how to actually apply the guidance in your daily life
- Something in the reading felt significant, but you’re not sure exactly why
- You’ve had time to reflect and now have deeper questions about what was revealed
Not sure if you need it? Many clients find that after living with their reading for a few days, they realise which parts they want to explore more deeply. You can always book support after you’ve had time to sit with your reading.
There’s no strict word limit, but most clients write 100-400 words in their questionnaire. The key is to provide enough context for me to understand your situation without overwhelming yourself trying to include every detail.
What matters most:
- Be clear about your main question – What guidance are you seeking?
- Provide relevant context – What’s been happening that brought you to this point?
- Share what’s important – Include details that help me understand your circumstances
- Be honest – Authentic information leads to more meaningful guidance
Too short? If you only write 1-2 sentences, I might not have enough context to provide truly personalised insights.
Too long? If you find yourself writing 1,000+ words, you might be processing through writing (which is valuable!), but consider editing down to the most essential information.
Bottom line: Write what feels right. Whether that’s a concise 150 words or a more detailed 500 words, what matters is that I can understand your situation well enough to provide meaningful guidance.
No. Tarot doesn’t predict a fixed future—and here’s why that’s actually good news.
The truth about tarot and the future:
Tarot doesn’t work like a crystal ball showing you what’s destined to happen. Instead, it shows you:
- The energy and patterns currently at play in your situation
- Where those patterns are likely leading if nothing changes
- What you might not be seeing clearly right now
- The possibilities available to you based on different choices
- What needs your attention or understanding
Why the future isn’t fixed:
You have free will. Every day, you make choices—big and small—that shape your path. Other people make choices too. Life brings unexpected events. All of these variables mean that the future is constantly being created, not predetermined.
If tarot showed you a “fixed future,” it would mean you have no power to change anything. That’s not true, and that’s not empowering.
What tarot actually does:
Think of tarot as showing you the current trajectory. If you’re driving north at 60mph, tarot can say “at this speed and direction, you’ll reach the mountains in an hour.” But you can always change speed, change direction, or take a different road entirely. The reading shows possibilities, not certainties.
This is why tarot is valuable: It helps you understand your situation more clearly so you can make better choices—not so you can passively wait for a predetermined future to unfold.
For more about how I approach tarot: Why Tarot Isn’t About Predicting Your Future
There’s no strict rule, but I generally recommend waiting at least 2-4 weeks between readings on the same topic. This gives you time to absorb the guidance, implement any insights, and allow the situation to naturally unfold.
Here’s why timing matters:
Too frequent (weekly or more on the same issue): You risk becoming dependent on readings rather than trusting your own judgment. You also don’t give yourself enough time to actually work with the guidance or allow circumstances to shift.
Appropriate timing (2-4 weeks or more): You’ve had time to reflect on your reading, take action on insights, and see how things develop. A new reading at this point can provide a fresh perspective based on changes.
When more frequent readings make sense:
- You’re facing different questions or areas of life (relationship reading this week, career reading next month)
- Significant circumstances have changed since your last reading
- You’re working through a complex situation with ongoing support sessions
When to wait longer:
- Nothing has substantially changed in your situation
- You’re seeking readings out of anxiety rather than a genuine need for guidance
- You haven’t yet implemented insights from your last reading
The goal: Tarot should empower you to make your own decisions, not create dependency. Use readings as touchpoints for guidance, not as a replacement for your own wisdom and agency.
