There are plenty of places to get a free online tarot reading. Whether you come away with a clear answer usually depends less on the site than on how you ask and how you read the result. This guide covers how to get an online reading you can actually use.

Before you click: prepare three things

• One question: a single topic, about your own life. For example, "Should I accept the new job offer?"
• A little context: two or three sentences about the situation, such as how long you have been in your current job and what makes you hesitate.
• A time frame: do you want to know about this week, or the next three months?

Match the spread to your question

• Want to know which way to go: a yes or no question, 1 card.
• Want a message for today: daily reading, 1 card.
• Want to see where something came from and where it is heading: a lingering issue, 3 cards for past, present and trend.
• Want a way to act: "What should I do?", 3 cards for situation, what to do and outcome.
• More complex questions, such as choosing between two paths, a relationship between two people, or a 3-month or 1-year outlook, use more cards.

At Redar you do not have to choose yourself. Type your question and Redar works out what kind of question it is, suggests a spread and tells you why. If you would rather use a different one, you can switch.

Draw with intention, and finish reading before you ask more

1. Keep your question in mind as you draw. At Redar you pick the cards yourself, one at a time.
2. Read each position in turn, then the overview and the advice at the end.
3. Ask follow-ups on the same cards to go deeper, such as "If I take this job, what do I need to prepare?"
4. Write down one thing you will do. You do not need to remember the whole reading.

Weaker answer: I did not like the cards, so I drew again for the same question three more times.

Stronger answer: I did not like the cards, so I asked a follow-up on the same cards: "What would make this better?"

Redrawing again and again gives you answers that contradict each other, and the confusion grows. A follow-up on the same cards gives you more information without leaving the topic. At Redar, follow-ups on the same cards do not use any paws.

What does the free tier include?

• Without an account: 1 readings to try.
• Free members: 2 paws every day, stacking up to 10 paws. One reading question costs 1 paw.
• Free members can use spreads of up to 3 cards: yes or no, today's reading, a lingering issue, and "what should I do?"
• Spreads with more cards, such as the 6-card love spread or a 1-year outlook, are available on the Plus plan or higher, or with a one-time reading pack.
• The daily card on the home page, the 78-card library, lessons and guides are free to read and use no paws.

Tip: If your question is very personal, try Secret mode on the reading page. Your question and reading are not saved on the server. They stay on your device and delete themselves after 24 hours.

Summary

1. Prepare one question, a little context and a time frame.
2. Match the spread to your question, or let Redar suggest one.
3. Ask follow-ups on the same cards instead of redrawing.
4. End with one thing you will do.
