In a typical reading, the cards are read in numerical order from 1 to 22 (the Fool). This is not required and there are no set rules for how the cards should be ordered. The reader can read them in any order they choose or rearrange them as they see fit during the reading.

There are even methods for mixing up the cards so that they appear in different orders or mixed up altogether during reading (e.g., shuffling them up or doing an “X” shuffle).

2. Only 2 out of 3 People Respond to Reading Cards

Although there are no hard and fast rules on how many people should respond to a tarot reading. It’s not like divination, in general, has high acceptance rates in the modern world.

Many readers recommend that one person responds to at least two of the three questions: past life, present life, and future life.

Tarot readers usually will let their customers add in more questions, such as romantic relationships, careers, or just simply their everyday individual problems. Since tarot reading is not a costly process, many will be interested in hearing more from the reading.

3. No Two Readers Read the Same Cards

There are no hard and fast rules on how to read the cards. You can read them any way you choose or follow a certain method that you believe is most effective for you.

For example, some readers will “split” their cards in half to have each person get one half of the spread, while others will spread the cards face down on a table or a tablecloth to allow each person to take a look at the cards before they reveal them.

It is common for readers to offer different spreads based on their preferences and reading style.

The uniqueness of each reader becomes more profound as the internet spreads. Now, we can see people offer tarot reading in the digital world. So, we no longer depend on the physical card.
