Getting Started

What do you want me to do?

1. Put both feet on the floor, breathe, tune in.

3. Shuffle the deck, images face down.

4. Fan the cards and draw the one that calls you.

5. Read the explanation and reflect.

How do I get the most out of my reading?

The more tuned in you are, the more accurate your draw will be. The more often you do it, the better you'll get at it. Intuition can be trained! 

Can I draw more than one card?

Yes. We love one-card draws for simplicity, but you can explore multi-card spreads if you want more depth.

Help, I don’t know what to ask!

Do not worry office worker. Simply draw a card without a question. It often reflects the moment you're in.

Help, the handbook explanation makes no sense!

Office Tarot is not perfect, but on the other hand: it's very likely you weren't as tuned in as you could be. What you could do is skip the text and look at the card title and the image instead. What does it say to you intuitively?

Help, I don’t like the answer I got!

You're only human and truth bombs usually aren't fun. Why not try reading between the lines? Or simply draw again. You’re in charge darling!

How come there are 79 archetypes, but 80 cards?

Sharp! There are two The Blank Sheet cards in the deck — that’s why.
