Generally, in a one-to-one session, there are 2 people involved: the Tarot card reader, and another one is the seeker.

Steps:

  1. Shuffle the Tarot card deck properly. Also, you should lay the deck upside down on a table and spread it in a semicircle.
  2. Depending on the nature of a query that the seeker/client places, the number of cards to be chosen is decided. It can be a 1 card solution or a multi-card solution. Generally, the client has the privilege to choose the cards.
