Prices and plans
How much does a tarot reading cost?
It depends on how you want to ask

Tarot readings are priced differently depending on length, whether you talk in real time, and whether it's written out. This piece puts Pentacles Studio's plans side by side.

30 minutes or 60?
If you only want to talk about one thing, such as whether to change jobs or whether a relationship should go on, 30 minutes is usually enough. To compare two or three options, or when work and love are tangled together, 60 minutes gives you more room.
When preparing questions, aim for about 10 for 30 minutes and about 20 for 60, with the most important first. That's only a guide; some things need more talking.
One-on-one or written?
If you like to sort things out as you talk and ask follow-ups on the spot, choose a one-on-one reading. If you'd rather not set a time, want to read slowly on your own, or want a record you can look back on, choose a written reading. Within 7 days of receiving a written reading you can ask one follow-up question. How online one-on-one and written readings differ is explained here.
When is a year-ahead reading a good idea?
Around a birthday or the new year, many people want to know what to watch for in the year ahead. A year-ahead reading, NT$1,800, covers the whole year; year ahead + month by month, NT$4,200, adds a reading for each month. If one specific thing has you stuck already, asking about that is more direct. Details of the year-ahead reading are here.
Payment and rescheduling
Deposits for one-on-one readings are paid online through Portaly; the balance is paid in cash after an in-person reading, or by bank transfer before an online reading starts. Each one-on-one booking can be rescheduled once; if you cancel or don't show up, the deposit isn't refunded. The full rules are in the booking and rescheduling terms.
