Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If you’re considering getting an online tarot reading, you may find yourself at the crossroads. For example, you might notice some signs from the universe before you contact a potential online tarot master. We can feel you!

So, let’s talk about how to actually find a good online tarot reader and make the right choice for you, your vibe, your situation, and your energy. Everything must match. Read our guide to get equipped with working hacks.

Clarify your purpose

First, you need to get clear on why you want a reading. Before you even start the internet search, ask yourself: what’s my main goal? For example, you might feel stuck and be looking for clarity. Or you might be dealing with a painful heartbreak or relationship concern. Maybe you need to make serious career choices or decide to start your own business. And also, you might be just curious about what the cards might tell you and what they might bring to brighten your life.

Knowing what you want helps to filter the types of tarot readers you need. For example, some of them might specialise in love and pregnancy, others might be focused on career readings, and others might be more universal.

Second, the format matters. Do you want a written reading that you can come back to later and analyze? Or maybe you prefer a live chat where you can ask questions to your reader in real time. Some people go for voice messages as this format makes them feel more personal. Understanding your purposes and preferences will help you narrow things down.

Read the energy

Vibes don’t lie. Start by looking at a potential reader’s website. Go through their Instagram, watch Reels or TikToks if they have them. Does this person feel real? Do they talk in a way that resonates with you? Maybe something feels a little too scripted or off? Pick someone who feels like a real human being to you, not just a character on a show.

Also, try to tune into your emotions while watching or reading their content. Are you feeling calmer, more seen? Or do you feel confused? Analyze those feelings.

Good readers often:

• clearly explain the terms of working with them
• have several examples of spreads, interpretations, or readings
• have some taboos – what they won’t do for you with the help of tarot
• don’t promise 100% accuracy

Check out the feedback

Readers often register on specialised websites that allow people to leave reviews. Go through the feedback from other clients who worked with this person. See what other customers are saying about their experience.

For example, pay attention to the following: do people say the reader was respectful and patient? Do they mention feeling understood and heard by the reader? What strengths are mentioned – for example, clarity of readings, accuracy, working with practical advice, and so on.

Also, don’t worry if your reader has some not-100%-positive reviews. It doesn’t mean they’re bad readers. People are different, and sometimes they have too high expectations – not everyone can meet them.

Compare prices

Yes, prices matter in any service type – but a higher price doesn’t always mean better service. Some well-experienced tarot readers make their prices competitive to be able to help more people. And other readers may charge more because they add something to the reading, like long-read follow-ups, additional readings, or deep customisation. We recommend you always discuss what’s included in the price and then decide which offer matches your energy better.

Also, consider the terms of a payment. Is it a one-time deposit? Do they offer packages or monthly guidance subscriptions?

Avoid those who scare you on purpose

Watch out for readers who guide you through fear. The thing that distinguishes a good reader is that they make you feel empowered and understood, not sad or frustrated after you get an interpretation of a spread.

If you hear something like “some bad things might happen to you soon” or “you’ll never get together with your partner again,” it sounds like a red flag. Better go find another reader who follows the right tone and working ethic.

Look for a mini reading opportunity

Some readers may offer mini sessions, and it’s a great way to understand their approach to readings.

Such quick spreads or one-question formats usually cost less than a detailed Celtic Cross spread, but they let you understand the style of interpretation and experience a reading process in a test session.

Mini readings are also great if you’re on a budget or not yet ready to go deeper, but still want to see how it will work for you.

Consider readers who empower you

The magic of tarot cards is that they can guide us towards a better understanding of ourselves. An experienced tarot reader online will help you hear your inner voice and empower you to listen to your intuition.

The rarest and powerful readings are those that help you reconnect with your true nature and desires. Look for an open and supportive reader who leaves you with a thought: “Yes, I knew that deep down.”

Trust your gut

Maybe a reader has many followers on Instagram or TikTok and has excellent reviews from other customers, but something might feel wrong for you. Trusting your gut is what you have to do when choosing a tarot expert.

For example, if you don’t like their way of communication, the way they answer your questions, or the timing of their response, maybe you just don’t feel that your energies are matching. It’s okay to pass and go find another reader for you. Trust your intuition, because tarot is all about this.

Wrap up

It’s not that easy to choose the right tarot reader online, like the ones offered by TarotAtlas. This person must match your energy and fulfill your expectations. Finding someone you will trust takes time, but when you contact one whose energy feels right, it changes a lot.

The main piece of advice is trusting your gut. Explore available options and ask questions to several readers. Don’t worry if you just feel that this isn’t the one for you — it doesn’t mean you’re rude if you pass and go find someone who’s on the same page as you are. The right reader will come into your life at the right time. You’ll feel it.
