Tarot guide

Use Tarot one step at a time, then return to this guide whenever you need a refresher.

The instructions follow the mobile app; a label may be slightly different when your app language changes.

Start a reading

Open Tarot and choose the spread first. On its introduction, choose a topic or enter a question, then continue to shuffle and draw.
Place the cards in the shown positions, then reveal them. Use the interpretation action and review its points confirmation before opening the full reading; the completed reading can be reopened from history.

Draw a custom spread

Choose Custom on the spread picker. Add an optional question, then choose Fixed card count or Freeform draw. The mode screen comes before drawing.
Fixed card count opens the card-count choice. Freeform draw opens shuffling and lets you place cards yourself, then finish to reveal them. Custom does not generate an AI interpretation or spend points; freeform does not add a history entry.

For people who want to read their own spread. Ember will not provide an interpretation.

What would you like to ask? (optional)

Try one of seven sample readings

Open See a sample reading from a spread introduction, or the sample-list entry when available. Choose one of the seven paid spread types in the list; Custom has no sample interpretation.
Read the completed sample without spending points. Use the draw action in the sample reading to begin your own personal reading.

The sample list uses seven compact tiles in the same order as the app.

Look up the 78 cards
