How many times a day may I draw?

There is no rule about the number, and on this service the same deck on the same day gives the same card. A different subject's deck will give you a different card.

What if I draw a card with a bad meaning?

The decks on this service contain no card that only leaves you low. There are cards that mean go carefully, and they always come with something about what to do next.

Can I read without buying a physical deck?

You can. The oracle cards on this service work entirely on screen. If you own a physical deck, you are welcome to draw from that instead.

Drawing oracle cards — one card or three, and what changes

NonokaGentleAnswering questions from Yuki

YukiNonoka, I thought oracle cards were drawn one at a time, but I see people laying out three. Which is right?

NonokaBoth are right. What you can read changes with the number. Think of it as choosing by what you want to know.

One card gives you the line you need now

Drawing one card is receiving a single message for where you are. It does not break a tangled situation into parts; it suits wanting something at your back while you hesitate. It needs no preparation and is the easiest way to draw.

The oracle decks by subject on this service are single draws. For love, one card comes from a deck of twenty-four made for love, and that card is then read at four points in time: today, tomorrow, a month out and three months out. One card shows something different at each point.

Three cards show the movement

YukiWhat is different about three?

NonokaYou can give the positions meaning. The same card reads differently depending which position it lands in. One card tells you how things stand; three let you see the direction things are moving in as well.

The oracle cards drawn inside a full reading on this service are a three-card draw, with the positions fixed as where you are, how it moves, and what lights the way. The situation, the direction and a piece of advice: with those three together it reads more fully than one card can.

	One card	Three cards
What it gives	The line you need now	Situation, direction and advice as a movement
What it suits	Wanting a push while you hesitate	Wanting a situation sorted out
Meaning of position	None	Each position changes the reading
How quick	Immediate	Takes a little longer

In a three-card draw, no card can appear twice. If the same card came up twice in one spread, the positions could no longer be read apart.

May you draw again?

YukiIs it wrong to draw until I get a card I am happy with?

NonokaI would not suggest it. Oracle cards find meaning in the chance of the moment. Drawing until an answer pleases you collapses the premise of chance itself.

On this service, the same person drawing the same deck on the same day always gets the same card. The card is decided from your name, your date of birth and the day's date. Reloading does not change it.

When the date changes, so does the card. Today's card and tomorrow's are different. You cannot draw again, and you can meet a new card on another day.

Reading what you drew

Lay the message written there against where you are now. When a card does not land, there is no need to force it to fit. Remembering it a few days later is a common enough thing.

NonokaRather than checking whether it was right, what you felt on reading the words matters more. Whatever caught you shows what is on your mind.
