tarot reading
Mystic card consultation
A tarot reading is a session in which someone interprets tarot cards—a deck of 78 illustrated cards—to gain insight into a person's situation, future, or inner state.
The reader shuffles and lays out cards in patterns called spreads, then interprets their symbolism and positions: She got a tarot reading at the fair.
Readings range from spiritual practice to entertainment.
