Frequently asked questions
01Do I need a clear question before drawing?
Yes. A clear question gives the positions more signal and stops the reading from dissolving into generic meanings.
02Can I jump straight into the dedicated reading screen?
Yes. This page helps you choose the spread and understand the positions, while the dedicated reading view is better once you are ready to draw.
