Phases of the Moon - A powerful reading for those who feel an affinity to moon energy.  The reading starts at the next new moon and covers one full moon cycle. One card is drawn for each moon phase, approximately a week, to give you an idea what to focus on over the next week and what energies you can draw on to accomplish your goals. This reading can be sent in four installments coinciding with each moon phase, to allow the reading to adjust to what has happened during earlier phases. (4 cards) Example Copyright©2000, Roy J.

tarot card the magicianCustom Readings

Every question and client is unique, and you may not find a spread that exactly addresses your situation.  Custom spreads can be developed for no extra cost to specifically address your particular set of issues and circumstances. The size and complexity of the reading is your choice – I recommend you choose a mini-reading if the question is fairly simple, or choose a standard or large reading if there are many considerations and complications to your situation, if there are more than two alternatives, or for analyzing several interrelated questions.  You can choose any size reading that you want, but at your request I will advise you on the size and design that I think would be most appropriate. To be conscious of your budget, I will choose the smallest size that I think will give you a complete answer to your question, normally from 3-10 cards.

If you would like a custom reading, send me an e-mail before filling out the order form, and let me know your question or situation and any circumstances surrounding it that would help me design a custom spread for you.  Also please give me a sense of your preferred price range. I will send you back my recommendations on the design. Once we have agreed on the layout and price, fill out the order form as usual.

 

Price Information

All readings are priced by the number of cards in the reading, whether they are regular readings, custom-designed readings, or gifts.  Reading prices are based on $5 per card. After many years of doing written readings, this the best approach I have come up with to reflect the time and care that is put into each one.

Many readings can be made larger or smaller, so please don't feel constrained by the sizes listed.  If you would like to modify a listed reading to a different size/price, just send me an e-mail and we'll work it out. One thing I have noticed over the years is that many clients believe that larger readings are better - yet often larger readings can provide so much information that they are difficult to process and fully evaluate. Smaller readings can often provide the same information in a more concise, direct, and to the point format. If in doubt, you can always start with a small reading to focus the issue, then explore additional areas you might be interested in.

All prices are in US Dollars.
