You're not alone

Choose whatever helps right now.

If a life is in danger

Call the local emergency number, or ask someone nearby to call. If you have already hurt yourself or taken something dangerous, call now, even if you feel all right.

Where are you right now?

Help numbers depend on the country you're in, not on the site's language. We never ask for access to your location.

What you can do right now

  • If anything nearby could be used to hurt yourself, put it out of reach or ask someone to stay with you.
  • Message someone you trust: “I’m having a hard time. Can you be with me?”
  • You don't have to solve everything now. Getting through the next few minutes is enough.

Talk to a person

If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or of not wanting to live, call a support line. They will listen without judgment. You can also call when things simply feel too heavy.

Choose your country above to see its support lines. Lines in many countries are also listed in the Find A Helpline directory.

Tarot spread · 3 cards

Three cards

Three views of one story: what shaped it, what matters now, and what is still taking shape.

By Tarot tradition: a mirror, not a verdict

  1. PastWhat has already shaped the picture?
  2. PresentWhat is worth noticing right now?
  3. PotentialWhat is taking shape, and what could you support?
Open this spread

The cards open right on your device. The spread is shared by everyone for the day.

When it fits

When you want to see a situation as a whole: what led to it, what matters in it now and where it could develop.

It suits a calm conversation with yourself about something that has been dragging on: work, a relationship, a habit or a decision.

Positions of the spread

Past

What has already shaped the picture?

Here the card shows what has already taken shape: experience, habits, earlier choices. It is not read as a verdict on the past, but as what you carry with you and can look at with care.

Present

What is worth noticing right now?

Here the card highlights a feeling, a need or a tension asking for attention now. It is the centre of the spread: the question to stay with comes from it.

Potential

What is taking shape, and what could you support?

Potential, not the future: what is only taking shape and what your own steps could support. In this position the card says nothing about events or dates.

How the spread goes

  1. Think of the situation you want to look at, or simply open the cards.
  2. Read the cards in order: past, present, potential.
  3. At the end, look at the summary: it holds a question to stay with and a practice, if you would like some support.

What this spread does not do

  • It names no events or dates: the third position is about what you could support, not about what is coming.
  • It does not judge the past: there are no mistakes in the first position, only experience.

In the tarot tradition, for reflection. The card does not know the future and is no substitute for professional advice.
