FAQ

Three Card Tarot suits all time-flow related questions. It's especially effective for questions like "How will this situation unfold?", "What's the outlook for this relationship?", "What will be the result of this decision?"

No, the same card cannot appear multiple times in a single reading. Each card delivers a unique message in its unique position. However, the same card can appear in different readings on different days.

Future cards show "possibility if current flow continues," not "fixed destiny." If negative cards appear, take them as warning messages and adjust your current actions and attitudes to create better outcomes.

Multiple readings for the same question in one day is not recommended. The first reading contains the purest energy, and repeating until you get desired answers reduces accuracy. Different questions can be asked multiple times.
