Reading formats
Tarot or a life-theme report?
Understand the two different formats.
A tarot report interprets a defined spread, including the cards, positions and orientations. A personal life-theme report starts with your circumstances and question without requiring a fixed tarot spread or a calculated birth chart. Choose the format whose method you want to explore.
Two starting points, not two names for the same report
| Feature | Tarot report | Personal life-theme report |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your question and selected card spread | Your theme, question and context |
| Structure | Card positions and their connections | Patterns and perspectives around the topic |
| Required method | A defined tarot spread | No fixed spread or birth chart |
| Delivery | Personal written PDF by email | Personal written PDF by email |
Both services are intended for reflection. Neither is a factual investigation into another person, a professional assessment or a guarantee of a future event. The distinction is the starting material and structure of the interpretation.
Choose tarot when the spread is part of the experience
If you want to explore why a particular card appeared in a particular position, choose a tarot report. The three-, five- and seven-card formats provide different structures for the question. In the Crossroads, the interpretation compares support and challenges across two paths; in the Inner Map, it explores a wider set of connected influences.
Before ordering, check that your question, context and revealed spread are correct. The report should explain the actual cards carried into the order rather than replacing them with a more convenient story.
Choose a life theme when you want to begin with your circumstances
The personal report offers Love & Relationships, Career & Purpose, A Difficult Decision, Self-Discovery, and Timing & the Future. You choose a theme and describe what you would like to understand. Any symbolic lens used should be explained in the report.
The free prompts on these theme pages are exercises for your own writing. They are not already a personalised report about your situation. The paid interpretation is prepared separately from the information you submit.
Depth and delivery are separate decisions
Basic, Focused and In-Depth describe the extent of the written interpretation. They do not change a life-theme service into a tarot spread or a birth-chart calculation. Review each option and the live price on the relevant order page.
If you specifically want planetary placements or a card-by-card explanation, use the corresponding service rather than assuming it is included in a general life-theme report. Contact support before purchase if the distinction remains unclear.
Questions & answers
Does the life-theme report include a fixed tarot spread?
No. It starts with the theme, question and circumstances you provide. Any symbolic perspective used is explained in the report.
Are the free theme prompts a personal reading?
No. They are self-guided exercises. A paid personal report is a separate interpretation prepared around the submitted information.
Does In-Depth add a birth chart?
No. Report depth changes the extent of the interpretation, not the service method. A calculated birth chart is a separate format.
The cards are a mirror, not a cage. These guides invite you to explore the symbols with curiosity and make room for your own choices. Read our boundaries or ask about the service.
