Procedure: Step-by-Step Guide to Obtaining a Reading
The process for obtaining a reading is streamlined and typically takes less than five minutes, depending on the type of reading selected.
Access the Dashboard and Verify Credits
The user must first ensure they have the necessary resources to initiate a reading.
Log In
Navigate to the cosmicspiritguide.com website and log in to your user account.
Verify Credit Balance
Check the current credit balance displayed on the Dashboard.
New Users/Free Tier: The system automatically provides 3 free daily credits that refresh every 24 hours. These credits are typically eligible for "Standard Tarot" readings (e.g., Daily Tarot, Love Tarot, Career Tarot).
Paid Users: Ensure your purchased or subscription credits are available. If the balance is low, credits can be purchased via the "Get Credits" link in the navigation bar.
Select a Reading Service
The user selects the type of reading that aligns with their current needs or inquiry.
Navigate to Services
Access the full list of services via the "Services" link or the "Deep Dive Insights" section on the Dashboard.
Choose a Reading
Select a reading based on the topic and credit cost. For a first reading, the Daily Tarot (1 Credit) is recommended as a low-cost, immediate option.
Example Readings and Costs:
- Daily Tarot (1 Credit)
- Moon Reading (2 Credits)
- Compatibility Report (5 Credits)
- Birth Chart Reading (12 Credits)
Confirm Requirements
For astrological readings (e.g., Birth Chart, Compatibility), ensure your accurate birth data (date, time, and location) is already entered in your profile, as this data is crucial for the system's NASA-quality calculations.
Connect with the Guide (Set Intent)
This step personalizes the reading by focusing the AI's interpretation on the user's specific question or situation.
Initiate Card Selection (Tarot)
For Tarot readings, the system will prompt the user to select their cards by clicking on the card backs displayed on the screen.
Enter Intent
A prompt will appear asking, "What is weighing on your heart right now?"
Best Practice: Share a specific question, concern, or situation. The more specific the input, the clearer and more personalized the guidance will be.
Generate Reading
Click the "Reveal Answers" or "Start Reading" button to submit the request and deduct the required credits.
Review and Save the Reading
The system will process the request and deliver the final interpretation.
Wait for Generation
The system will display a "Consulting the cards..." or similar message while the AI generates the interpretation. Processing time varies by reading type (e.g., Tarot is instant, Birth Chart takes 10-30 seconds).
Review Interpretation
The full reading, including the card meanings, planetary analysis, and personalized guidance, will be displayed on the screen.
Save to Journal
Use the "Save to Journal" option to store the reading in the Spiritual Journal for future reference and reflection. All readings are also automatically saved in the "Reading History" section of the Dashboard.
