Tarot card readings have enjoyed popularity since the 15th century, and many online psychics offer Tarot card readings from the comfort of your home.
How much does a tarot reading cost? The answer can vary from pocket change to hundreds of dollars depending on who you hire. Keep reading to learn how to assess the value of a Tarot reading and budget accordingly.
Types of Tarot Readings
Tarot readers use the imagery and symbolism of the Tarot cards, along with their knowledge of the Major and Minor Arcana, to interpret your reading and provide clarity and guidance. Tarot readings vary on their intended purpose and the number of cards you can expect to discuss. Here are some common types of Tarot readings:
The Success Spread
This situational spread is a go-to reading when you want advice on navigating an obstacle or problem. The success spread highlights the true colors of the challenge you face and points you in the right direction to positively impact your future.
The Celtic Cross Spread
This advanced reading utilizes 10 cards and is influenced by the direction the cards fall as they are flipped. Not for beginners, this complex reading, when done by an expert Tarot reader, can delve into the full depth of intricate situations. Its popularity is undeniable!
The Three-Card Spread
Many Tarot readings follow the simple three-card spread: one card signifies the past, one the present, and the other the future. The three-card spread is the most straightforward reading, and, for some, the most useful.
The Value of a Tarot Reading
Unlike products like vegetables or oil, a tarot reading is a highly subjective service that leads to a wide variety of prices. Some storefront readers may charge you as little as $1 per card, while celebrity readers may be booked for months in advance and charge nearly $1000 per reading.
But have no fear! These factors will influence how much you pay for a Tarot reading:
Location
Where are you going for your Tarot reading? In-person readings can be more expensive than an online reading. Psychics and readers who invest in storefront locations have more overhead costs and can’t guarantee foot traffic. The flexibility and convenience of virtual readings open the door to lower prices and a wide variety of options.
Experience
As readers develop their skills and perform more readings, they will likely increase their prices. It makes sense that the time and effort put into improving their readings and growing a following would translate into higher prices.
When you seek guidance and direction from a Tarot reading, consider going with an experienced reader if you have important questions. On the flip side, if you are casually interested in a reading, you may seek someone fresh on their spiritual journey who offers more competitive rates.
Time and Type of Reading
What will ultimately determine your price is the pricing structure of your reading. Our readers charge a flat per-minute fee at Keen, so customers are never surprised by the final cost. Our diverse network of psychic advisors set their rates typically between $1.99 and $9.99 per minute.
Professional tarot readers don’t always charge by the minute. For storefront psychics and readers, other types of pricing structures include:
- Charging per card (making a three-card spread more affordable than a Celtic Cross spread).
- Charging a flat rate per reading.
- Charging by the hour.
- Charging a bulk sum for a package of readings.
Tarot Reading Prices
When you choose to do a Tarot reading with an advisor through Keen, you can likely expect to pay between $15 to $30 for an initial reading unless you specify that you want a longer session to do a Celtic Cross reading or another specialized service. Depending on your budget, consider the following Tarot readers:
