Getting started with Redar Tarot Master: How the app works, how practice reading differs from getting a reading, and what reader ranks and question levels unlock.
How the teacher scores you: The five criteria used to check every reading, how many points each is worth, and why 80% earns a full 10.
What is tarot, and why some call it "gypsy cards": Where tarot comes from, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and how to treat the cards as a tool for reflection rather than a verdict on your fate.
Your first reading on your own: Ask a question, shuffle, draw, read the picture, pick the meaning that fits, plus reversed cards for beginners.
The 78 cards: Major and Minor Arcana: The 22 Major Arcana tell life's big lessons, the 56 Minor Arcana tell everyday stories in four suits, one for each element.
Elements, Astrology and Timing: Use each card's element and dates to answer "when?" with a sound method.
Lv1 · Read one card clearly: Answer one question with one card, giving a meaning that is accurate, concise and tied to the question.
Lv2 · Tie cards to positions and time: The same card means different things in different positions. Practise telling one story within a timeframe.
Lv3 · Conflicting cards and reversals: Synthesise cards that point different ways, and read reversed cards without simply flipping the meaning.
Lv4 · Timing and advice that works: Use elements, signs and suit pace to estimate timing, then turn the reading into a plan the querent can follow.

Money · Reading finances without guarantees: Pentacles and the cards that warn of debt and scams, reading money timing carefully, and knowing when to refer to a professional.
Health · Supporting wellbeing, never diagnosing: Read cards about physical energy, stress and recovery as encouragement, and know the lines a reader must never cross.
Family · Reading without taking sides: Cards about home, roots and expectations, reading family members through court cards, and helping people find a new way to talk.
Lost items · Using the cards to search methodically: A traditional technique: elements suggest the kind of place, cards show near or far and indoors or out, people cards hint at whether someone moved it, and timing.
