online tarot session

So, you want to know how online tarot sessions work?

You could be thinking of trying online tarot reading, but you might be nervous and think, what will it be like?

That is completely reasonable, and don't worry, it is normal.

These days, many people are opting for tarot card reading online, not just for fun, but also for clarity, peace of mind, and direction.

 In this blog, I will explain what online tarot card reading is like, and what happens during in tarot online, how it works, what you need to know about tarot reading online before booking one and how to prepare for a reading to get the most out of the session.

So, First off, What Is an Online Tarot Reading?

Tarot card reading online is simply a tarot reading you do via the internet (typically via video call, phone call, chat, or even an email).

You connect with a tarot reader online just like in-person, you are simply connecting with the reader virtually.

Given how easy everything has become due to technology, getting a tarot reading online is easier than it has ever been.

You don't have to leave your house, deal with traffic, or even put on real pants (just kidding... sort of), just a good internet connection and open mind!

What To Do Before the Online Tarot Session

You’ve booked your online tarot session, nice work. So, what should you do before the session starts?

1️⃣ Set an Intention

Think about your motivation to have the reading done.

Were you looking to gain clarity about a relationship? Career path? Or just general life direction? You don’t need to share the full story with the reader, but knowing your intention will lead them to assist you more effectively.

2️⃣ Create a Comfortable Space

Try to find a quiet place where you can sit at ease for your session.

If you think it’ll help, perhaps light a candle, etc.

You want to show up for your session and not have your focus on returning emails or WhatsApp messages which can interfere with your presence.

3️⃣ Remain Open

The objective of the session is not to believe in “magic”, but to display openness to insight, reflection, and a new perspective.

The cards reflect what’s occurring inside of you, including what you may know deep down inside but refuse to acknowledge.

What can you expect of the online tarot session?

Let’s talk about the actual session so you know what to expect.

Step 1: Informal Connection

The reading typically starts with a brief discussion. Your tarot reader may ask you your name, your date of birth, and what you would like to work on — but even if you don't discuss a lot, a good reader will be able to read the cards without your input.

If you are going for the best online tarot card reading, expect the reader to be friendly, calm, and non-judgmental — you should feel safe and understood.

Step 2: Shuffling the Cards

The shuffling ceremony is important even in online tarot card reading.

The reader either shuffles physically at their end, or asks you to tell them when to stop and does it virtually.

Energy exists in all spaces, so yes, this still matters.

Some readers will let you pick your own cards from a digital spread, while others will use only their intuition to draw the cards.

Regardless, when the cards are now chosen the actual reading can begin.

Step 3: Interpreting the Spread

Now comes the real work.

Based on the number of cards pulled (3-card spread, 5-card spread, Celtic cross etc..) the reader begins speaking through their interpretation.

You’ll hear things like:

“The Four of Wands is indicating a celebration or strong foundation, are you considering a new home or engagement?”

“The Seven of Cups means you’re overwhelmed with options and some of them are illusions.”

“The Judgement tarot card usually shows up when you are being called to make some big life decision with clarity.”

The Lovers tarot usually signifies some important decision in relationships or being true to your values.

If the Sun tarot is shining bright in a reading, it is one of the best signs - representing joy, success, and childlike freedom.

They’ll talk through what each card means in response to your question.

The best ones will offer a grounded, practical meaning—not something vague or spooky.

Step 3: Common Tarot Cards Meaning in Your Reading

During an online tarot reading, you’ll encounter tarot cards that reference different areas of life.

Here are some of the most common ones meaning:

✅ The Lovers tarot is not only romance - it’s also about alignment, choices, and staying true to your values.

✅ The Sun tarot represents pure happiness and success, like an epiphany after a long struggle.

✅ Death tarot (don't panic!) represents transformation, not literal endings - more like rebirth.

✅ Strength tarot reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear, but having mastery over it.

Some cards are reflections of emotional states:

✅ 10 of Swords feels like you've hit rock bottom, but it's also the bottom, the turning point.

✅ 5 of Cups represents grief, but also prompts you to pay attention to what remains standing.

✅ Three of Swords indicates heartbreak. Two of Swords represents paralyzing indecision.

✅ The Queen of Swords can make decisions and clearing out a confusion.

Some cards indicate situations outside of you:

✅ 10 of Pentacles represents family stability and generational blessings.

✅ 6 of Pentacles asks you - are you giving or receiving fairly?

✅ Four of Wands indicates celebration, - like a wedding, a new home of housewarming, or a hard fought victory.

Some cards are cautionary in nature:

✅ 7 of Swords warns of deception (or maybe self-deception).

✅ 8 of Swords shows you are feeling imprisoned by your own mind.

✅ 9 of Swords is anxiety (the kind that is worse at 3 AM).

✅ Seven of Cups reveals illusions among your options.

In the end, cards like the Judgement tarot talking about your life changing decisions, and Ten of Cups tarot promises fulfillment. And if the Ten of Wands appears?  You are carrying too much - it's time to put it down.

Remember: Cards are like mirrors, they aren't fixed fate. Their power is in how you manifest their messages in your life.

Step 5: Clarifying Questions

Don't be shy about asking follow-ups. A good reader would encourage you to dive deeper into something you're not clear about. Tarot is a dialog, not a monologue.

They may pull clarifying cards, too - like if you received the Ten of Cups next to the Ten of Wands, it might indicate happiness but also emotional fatigue. 

Or if you receive the seven of Pentacles in love, it brings attention to a pause for contemplation. 

The Strength tarot card often appears as a reminder of your inner strength, especially when things are challenging.

Post Reading: What Comes Next

You may experience a rush of emotions; relief, understanding, maybe a little emotional release. These responses are natural.

Some readers will provide you a photo of the spread, or a recap of the reading, after the session is over.

If a reader doesn't do this, take notes so you can think of these insights later.

Give yourself time to let the reading settle – especially if you had any heavier vibe cards. Remember, tarot shows the possibilities, not the facts.

Common Misconceptions About Online Tarot

Let's clear up these issues.

❌ "Isn't Online Tarot a Less Accurate Reading?"

Not at all. Energies don't have to be in front of you in order to connect with you. An online tarot card reading is just as informative as an in-person reading.

❌ "I Can't Ask Personal Questions Online."

You absolutely can. In fact, many people find it easier to dive deep and share in the privacy of their own homes.
