Online Tarot Card Reading Tools Pros and Cons of Using Them

Tarot card reading has been prevalent for years, and by years I don’t mean some odd 10 or 20 years. I am talking about centuries. Yes! To be precise, tarot cards are cards on which figures are drawn, which, when picked by a person, reflects what their life predicts about him. The interpretation drawn from a particular card is, all in all, referred to as ‘Card reading.’ On the internet, several services offer online tarot card reading and attract many visitors every day. In the past, people either had to visit a professional tarot card reader to satisfy their curiosity, purchase a tarot card themselves, pick the card according to the required procedure, and then read it according to the rules and regulations. However, an even easier and cost-effective way (in some cases, even free) is to read tarot cards online. There are several services available that help you read a tarot card and allow you to pick a card from your desired deck. This makes the process much easier and improves the end-user experience significantly.

What are the pros of using an online tarot card reader?

●    Removes the possibility of purchasing the cards: Given the fact that you have a deck of cards always available on the internet, of different kinds, as per your liking, it does not make sense for you to spend money if you need tarot cards just for your experience when you can get the same experience online. Hence, it does save you some dollars in this scenario!

●    You get a sense of independence: You are on your own when you are online. You do not need to be dependent on someone else. With this, you do not specifically need to look for specialized tarot card readers in your locality or anywhere else, depending on your location. All you have to do is to get online, search for your favorite tarot card reader, pick a card, and let them explain what the card means. That’s it, all that you need, sorted in a few minutes!

●    Using the internet to your advantage: You know, the internet works for you. Didn’t get it? Well, most search engines recommend alternatives to products and services that you recently searched for. Now that you have searched for an online tarot card reader, there is a great chance you will get recommended more of them. This only improves your case because the more, the merrier. You now have several options to choose from. Physically, it would be very exhausting for you to move from one tarot reader to the other just for a “second opinion,” so it saves your time to a great extent.

●    You save a lot of time: Assume that hypothetically, you are about to visit a very famous tarot card reader. The reader is very far away from your home and takes you 3 hours just to reach your destination. When you reach there, you find that there is already a long queue, and you might have to wait for another hour or so to get your job done. This makes your total time taken to and back home close to 7 hours. Now consider this scenario: open your laptop, search for an online tarot reader, pick a card, and get the result. This would hardly take 7 minutes. 7 hours v.s 7 minutes, the difference is indeed real!

What are the cons of using an online tarot card reader?

●    No surety on the accuracy of results: It is easy to maintain an anonymous identity on the internet. Similarly, it is also easy to create a website. When reading tarot cards online, there is no surety as to how genuine the analysis is and whether the analysis is correct. One can easily fake the data to give you incorrect answers, which might not be useful.

●    Your data might not be safe: Mostonline tools would require you to give some information about yourself, which might be relevant for reading or not. There might not be strict privacy policies that safeguard the data you enter. You may ask - what can they do with my data? Well, they can easily sell it to other third-party companies, which will use your data for marketing purposes, for data dumping, and for increasing their database. Your free experience at an online tarot reading session will make a lot of money for others.

●    You cannot determine the card picking algorithm: Until and unless your online card picker is open-source, meaning the code used to create the tool is made available for the public, you would not be able to determine what algorithms are being used by the developer to make you pick a card. In that case, you cannot predict the randomness in selecting the cards. The developer might have made only a few cards available to be picked, perhaps to reduce the load on the script running, in a way, fooling you. This would again not yield a satisfactory result for you.

●    Your choices are limited: You are physically interacting with an actual person when you go for an offline tarot reading session. You can feel the cards in your hands, visually see the illustrations on the cards, and talk with the reader. You can also seek guidance on other relevant details, and perhaps the reader might give you deeper insights into the card you picked. In an online session, everything is virtual. You do not have a physical sense of reality, and neither can you physically interact with someone. You do not get the chance to feel the cards, nor can you get some extra insights. Whatever information is shown to you is final. You cannot ask for more. This is a major let-down in terms of experience. 

So these were some of the major pros and cons of reading tarot cards online. Now it’s on you to decide what tarot reading method you want to opt for!
