Tarot

A tarot reading where you draw the cards.

Most online tarot picks the cards for you. This does not. You shuffle the full 78-card deck, spread it across the table and choose the ones that draw your attention — while your reader watches it happen.

How it works

Three steps, no guesswork

1

Shuffle the deck

The deck is shuffled once, at the start, and never touched again. Your choices land where they land.

2

Choose your spread

Three cards for past, present and direction. Five if the situation has more moving parts.

3

Turn them over together

Your reader turns each card face up in its own time and reads it in the context of the ones beside it.

What comes up

How the cards get read

Tarot is not fortune telling by numbers. The same card means different things depending on what sits next to it.

Position matters

The Tower in the past is a story about something that already fell. In the direction position it is a warning.

Reversals are read, not feared

A reversed card is usually about timing, resistance or an inward turn — rarely a disaster.

The spread is read as one thing

Three cards that argue with each other tell you more than three read separately.

You can ask as it goes

If a card lands strangely, say so. That reaction is information worth reading too.

Rishishvara

Rishishvara has been reading professionally for over twenty years, in person and at a distance. The approach is plain and unhurried: the cards are laid out, what they say is said honestly, and there is room to ask questions until the picture makes sense to you.

No scripts, no cold reading, no upselling you into a longer session while you are still in it. You book the time you want and that is the time you get.

Booking

Two lengths

Each booking holds the full slot in the diary. The reading itself runs a little shorter, so there is breathing room at the end rather than a hard stop mid-sentence.

Questions

Before you book

How does the reading actually happen?

By video call, or by phone if you would rather not be on camera. You will get a link when you book. During the reading you shuffle and choose your own cards on your own screen, and your reader watches them come out in real time and turns them over as you go.

Do I have to say what my question is?

No. Plenty of people prefer not to, and the cards are read on their own terms first. You can bring your question in afterwards, or not at all.

What if the reading is upsetting?

A good reader does not frighten people. Difficult cards get read as what they are — a description of where the weight is sitting, not a verdict. You can stop at any point.

Can I record it?

Ask your reader at the start. Most are happy for you to record for your own use.

What is your refund policy?

Reschedule free up to 24 hours before your booking. Inside 24 hours the slot is held for you and cannot be refunded, since it cannot be filled at short notice.
