1. The querist has a seat and rest in order to calm down and relieve his tiredness
2. Prepare a calm and silent place for divination. There should be a dry, flat and smooth table for spreading the cards. Moreover, velvet should be set on the table in order to protect the cards' images from being faded.

1. The Tarot reader shuffles the cards gently for several times. (Some Tarot readers may ask the querist to shuffle the cards. But most people are unfamiliar with the size of Tarot cards which is larger than the ordinary playing cards. So the cards often fall off or are crooked)
2. The querist focuses his mind on the cards and asks the question while cutting cards.
3. The Tarot reader lays the cards face down in a half-moon shape (or other shapes.) The span between each card should be equal.

4. The querist selects the number of cards according to the reader's layout (often uses the left hand because it is believed that the left hand is the hand of fate.) When selecting the cards, the querist should focus on his question and not speak with others.
5. The Tarot reader places the cards into the correct layout.
6. The Tarot reader interprets the cards and describes them to the querist.

1. The querist should not ask the same question repetitively in order to get the expected card.
2. The Tarot reader should honestly interpret the cards. and not tell lies to get money or fame. Furthermore, the Tarot reader should regard and abide by "The Ethics of Astrologers."
