AlfaProtekTarot, plainly

Reading types

Three spreads. Pick the one that matches the question.

All three are three-card spreads and all three are included in the subscription — the first one is included in your $0.50 week. The difference is what the card positions ask and how long the report runs, so it's worth a minute of thought before you choose.

600–800 words

The Situation

The plainest spread. Three cards on one thing that's already happening: what it is underneath the description you'd give a friend, what's keeping it stuck, and what the next honest move looks like.

Who it suits

Someone in the middle of it, not at a fork. The argument that keeps restarting. The job that's fine on paper. The friendship that went quiet.

In the report

  • Three-card reading written in full
  • Card photographs, spread and close-up
  • Two or three concrete next steps
  • One follow-up question included

700–900 words

The Crossroads

Two real options, each read on its own, then a third card on what you'd be choosing between them for. It's the spread for the decision you've been carrying around for weeks.

Who it suits

Anyone with two named options and a pros-and-cons list that came out even. The offer, the move, the conversation you can't un-have.

In the report

  • Both options read separately, in full
  • What each option costs and protects
  • Card photographs, all three
  • One follow-up question included

900–1,100 words

The Month Ahead

Not a forecast of events. Three cards on the shape of the coming four weeks: where the weight sits, what's building, and the month's one recurring temptation. Sent on request, or automatically as part of the subscription.

Who it suits

People who like a map more than a snapshot. Also the right choice when nothing is on fire and you want to notice the small drift before it becomes one.

In the report

  • The month read in three movements
  • Two checkpoints with what to watch
  • Card photographs, spread and close-up
  • One follow-up question included

Start with this spread

Choosing wrong isn't costly: your first reading is part of the trial, and you can switch type on the brief form before sending. Changing after a reading has been written counts as a new reading.

What all three have in common

Whatever you pick, the structure underneath is the same. That's deliberate — a spread is only a set of questions, and these are the questions worth asking.

Three cards, fixed positions

No free-form draw. The positions are decided before the cards are turned, so the reading can't be bent after the fact to fit a preferred answer.

Read against your brief

The cards are interpreted in relation to what you wrote. A good brief changes the reading more than the deck does.

Written, not spoken

You get a document. Read it once fast, once slow, a week later. Nothing depends on your memory of a call.

Steps attached

Every report ends with things worth trying. They're suggestions with reasoning, not instructions.

How to pick, if you're torn

Ask what you'd do with the answer. If the answer would tell you how to handle something already in motion, take The Situation. If it would break a tie between two named things, take The Crossroads. If you're between situations and want to see the terrain, take The Month Ahead.

And if none of the three fit, write it anyway. Briefs that don't fit a category are usually the most interesting ones, and Mira will suggest the closest spread in the narrowing reply.

Length isn't quality

The Month Ahead is the longest report and not the best one. A tight 600 words on the right question beats 1,100 on a vague one, which is why the brief matters as much as the spread.
