A 10-minute reading typically gives us time to explore three cards—perhaps looking at the energy surrounding the past, what’s present now, and a possible path forward.

Choose 20 or 30 minutes if you’d like more room to explore your question, pull additional cards for clarity, or follow the conversation wherever it leads. There’s no wrong choice: a short reading can be surprisingly illuminating, while a longer one gives us more space to dig deeper.

Not at all. You’re welcome to bring a specific question, a situation you’d like to think through, or simply your curiosity. If you aren’t sure what to ask, we can begin with a general reading and see what the cards spark.

I don’t treat tarot as a fixed prediction or verdict. I use the cards as a tool for reflection—a way to notice what’s present, consider different perspectives, and uncover possibilities you may not have thought about.

The future isn’t written yet. Your choices still belong to you.

Then you’re very welcome here. You don’t need to know anything about tarot or the cards, and there’s nothing special you need to do to prepare. I’ll explain what we’re looking at as we go.

Absolutely. The cards give us images and ideas to respond to, and that conversation works just as naturally over video as it does in person. You’ll be able to see the cards as we talk, ask questions, and explore what comes up from wherever you feel most comfortable.

Online readings take place on Zoom. You’ll receive the meeting link after your payment is complete.

Yes, in-person readings may be arranged in the Olympia area. Email hello@tarotwithkaren.com to discuss the details.

In-person readings will typically take place in a public setting, so please keep that in mind if privacy is a concern.

Tarot can be useful when you’re facing a decision, moving through a transition, feeling stuck, exploring a relationship or creative project, or simply wanting to look at your life from a different angle.

The most useful questions focus on you: your experiences, your choices, and your role in the situation. I won’t use the cards to look into someone else’s private thoughts or predict another person’s actions. I’m not here to tell you whether so-and-so loves you. We’re here to explore what’s happening for you and what you might do next.

We’ll begin with your question—or with whatever is on your mind—and draw cards to explore it. I’ll talk through the images, patterns, and possibilities I notice, and we’ll consider what they bring up for you.

It’s less like receiving a pronouncement and more like having a focused conversation with the cards—and with yourself.

That’s completely fine. There’s no pressure to make every card fit. We can look at it from another angle, pull a clarifying card, or simply notice that it isn’t resonating. The reading is a conversation, not a test.

Yes. You’re welcome to record the Zoom session or take photos of the cards for your personal reference.
