MIDNIGHT ARCANA
Set your question,
and turn the card
You shuffle, spread and choose all 78 cards yourself. Each card is read from the traditional Rider–Waite meanings, by the position it lands in and whether it falls upright or reversed.
Choose a spread
Five layouts, from a one-card answer to a ten-card look at the whole situation.
One Card
One card, one answer, straight away
The simplest reading. Decide on one question and draw a single card. It suits advice for the day, or a question that needs an answer right now.

Three Cards
Past, present and future in order
The most widely used spread. Three cards read how things got here (past), where they stand now (present), and how they are likely to go (future). It fits almost any question.

Love Cross
My feelings, their feelings, and where the relationship goes
A five-card spread for questions about a relationship. It sets the two sides’ feelings next to each other, then reads where the relationship stands, what is in the way, and which direction to take. It suits questions about unspoken feelings, dating and getting back together.

Yes / No
Settles a should-I-or-shouldn’t-I
For questions that can be answered yes or no. It reads the card’s traditional positive or negative leaning together with its direction, and answers yes, no, or not yet.

Celtic Cross
Ten cards for the whole situation
The most detailed spread, in use since the early 1900s. Ten positions cover the heart of the matter and the obstacle, what is visible and the cause underneath it, past and future, yourself and your surroundings, hopes and fears, and the outcome.

Traditional Rider–Waite meanings
All 78 cards have separate upright and reversed meanings, and the reading uses them as written.

A reference, not a forecast
A reading is reference material for thinking something through. It does not predict or settle the future.
