Offering tarot reading
You offer tarot readings for parties and private appointments as entertainment and reflection. This guide covers what customers ask, how to win the booking and what to show on your profile.
What customers ask
- How do you read the cards, and what is your style?
- How long is a session, and what spread do you use?
- Do you give advice on health, money or legal matters?
- Can I see a sample session?
- Do you read at parties as well as privately?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask about the setting, the theme the customer wants to explore, the session length and whether it is a party or a private appointment
- Send a short description of your reading style and a clip from a session with permission, labeled as entertainment
- Put the session length, the spread or format, the space needs and the arrival time in the written quote
- Share a written note that the readings are for entertainment and reflection
- Confirm the table, the seating and the privacy needs with the host or client before the session
- Ask about any topics the customer wants to avoid, and confirm them in writing
- Say who covers if you are ill, and whether a session can move to a video call or another date
What to put on your profile
- Photos of your setup with the cards, the table and the seating
- A short description of your reading style and the themes you cover
- A list of the event types and session lengths you offer
- Your insurance status and any local registration that applies
Follow-up that helps the customer
- Offer a themed spread for a milestone or a new chapter, planned with the client
- Suggest a short written summary of the themes discussed, for reflection later
- Recommend a break between sessions at a party so guests can talk and enjoy the event
Licenses and permits
No state license is usually required for tarot readings, but some cities and counties regulate fortune telling or psychic services. Carry general liability insurance, any local registration or business license that applies and a written statement on how you present readings, and check local rules with your licensing office before taking jobs.
Questions
Do I need a local permit to read at parties?
Some cities and counties regulate these services. Check local rules with your city or county office and keep proof of any registration on file.
How do I describe my readings honestly?
Describe them as reflection and entertainment. Do not promise outcomes, and do not claim the cards can predict medical, financial or legal results.
What if a client asks about a serious decision?
Encourage the client to speak with a qualified professional. Use the session to reflect on the options, not to make the decision for them.
