How it works

A date in, a whole reading out

The short reading is free and arrives in a few seconds. The full one runs to seven parts and about two thousand words, and costs €12.99 once, for that one date.

  1. Type the date

    Day, month, year, and you are straight through to the reading. A birth date is the whole of what Dolya asks you for, and there is nothing to sign in to afterwards.

  2. Dolya draws the chart

    Your date turns into nine numbers and they are drawn as a chart. Each one is one of the 22 major arcana, read differently depending on where it lands.

  3. And then it reads them

    A whole short reading of the person those numbers describe: how you operate, how feeling moves through you, the pattern that repeats, and the two lines of family behind you. Free, and yours to keep as a picture of your chart.

The chart

Nine numbers, and the cards behind them

The figure is an octagram: a straight square and a diamond sharing one centre, with nine numbered points on them.

The four corners are read as two pairs, the father's line and the mother's line, which is why each of those names is on the chart twice.

Every number opens, on this chart as much as on your own: what the card is, and what it was written to mean in the seat it landed in. The chart beside this is a real one, for a real date. Open a number on it.

The deck

Twenty-two drawings, a hundred years old

Dolya numbers them the Marseille way, which is what the chart uses: Justice is 8, Strength is 11, the Fool is 22, and no card is 0. Three of the twenty-two are printed with a numeral that is not the one under them here, and their own pages say so at the picture.

  1. 1. The Magician
  2. 2. The High Priestess
  3. 3. The Empress
  4. 4. The Emperor
  5. 5. The Hierophant
  6. 6. The Lovers
  7. 7. The Chariot
  8. 8. Justice
  9. 9. The Hermit
  10. 10. Wheel of Fortune
  11. 11. Strength
  12. 12. The Hanged Man
  13. 13. Death

  17. 17. The Star

A real reading

Read a whole one before you type anything

Below is the free reading for 23.08.2005, whole. It was not written to sell anything and it is not the best of a batch: it is Dolya's reference reading, written to the same rules and out of the same source text as the reading your own date will get, and the text every one of the product's own quality checks is run against, word for word.

The free version23.08.2005

Seven shows up twice in your chart: once as the work of these years, once handed down your mother's side. So the drive was in the house before it was ever yours. You move, you finish, you win, and then you start again without stopping to notice what the last thing cost. Your people did the same, with their hands and their feet, and never got asked why.

Your center runs on structure. You cannot settle in a room you have not put in order, and order is how you show care rather than how you control people, most of the time. When it hardens, it turns into checking every hand and treating a surprise as a problem. Nothing rests then, including you.

You explain well. Half the people near you navigate by something you drew them, and that same instinct means you often hear the mistake before you hear the person. Your feelings run on fairness. You notice the unfair split before anyone names it, and when someone slips, you go quiet and let them guess the charge.

Behind all of it stands a family story you keep bringing into rooms it was never invited to. One side of your line ends things early and leaves the boxes unpacked. The other side wants out loud, or pulls a lever instead of asking, and knows how to close a door without raising its voice.

You hold the pen on all of that. You did not inherit a burden. You inherited the books and the keys.

A different birth date makes different numbers, and different numbers get different words. This chart holds 7 twice, on the year point and at one end of the mother's line, which is why the reading opens where it does. A chart with no repeat in it opens somewhere else entirely.

The full version

And what €12.99 adds

It continues from the free reading instead of repeating it, in seven named parts. This is how the first of them opens, for the same date.

The paid version, part one of seven23.08.2005

The core self

Your character teaches. That is the first motion, before you decide anything: someone has a problem, and you are already breaking it into steps they can follow. The knowledge behind it is real, and that is exactly why the correcting reflex fires so early. You hear the error before the sentence has finished landing, and your certainty comes in fully dressed. What gets lost is not accuracy. It is the person who was still talking. Lessons demonstrated hold; lessons performed empty the room.

Your feelings work differently. They run on balance, and they are quick. You register the tilt in a room before anyone finds words for it: the credit sliding to the wrong name, the split that is not a split. People trust that read because it is not being performed for them. The trouble is inward. When two of your own feelings both want the ruling, the scale wobbles, and instead of saying so you go still. Warmth gets loaned and hurts get dated, and the schedule for both stays somewhere nobody else can see.

It runs on for one more paragraph, then closes the way all seven parts close:

What it gives you you make hard things plain, and you build arrangements other people can live inside.

What it costs when you go quiet instead of naming the imbalance, the other person is left guessing what changed.

The seven parts, in order

  1. The core self
  2. The lesson you carry
  3. The money line
  4. The love line
  5. What holds them together
  6. Your two family lines
  7. The tasks of these years

It is written when you ask for it, so it takes about a minute and a half, and the parts arrive as they are written.

Two voices

The same reading, told two ways

The full version comes in two voices. €12.99 buys it in the plain one. Dolya's own telling of the same chart is €4.99, and it is offered at the foot of your finished reading rather than before it: you read the whole thing first, and decide about her afterwards.

The two say exactly the same things about the same person: the same chart, the same seven parts, the same claims. Only the telling differs, which is the whole of what the second one is for.

The fate spirit this product is named for. She has read these 22 numbers longer than anyone alive, knows you only from your chart, speaks to you rather than about you, and says once in every reading that she cannot see forward.
