You get the whole natal chart report — positions, houses, aspects and about 12,000 words of interpretation — without paying or registering.
Sign-up
None; no email or account needed.
Best for
Anyone who wants the most readable free natal report in English

What we like

  • A very long free report with no sign-up
  • Daylight saving handled automatically for our Shanghai birth
  • One named author's readable, thoughtful writing
  • Sun, Moon and Mercury matched other sites to the minute or nearly so

Watch out for

  • Heavy ads, including a misleading download box
  • Dated layout that's tiring on a phone
  • The report is too long to take in at once

Tarot.com's free reading stops at the sign-up box — here's what you actually get.

Cost
Free + paid extras
Without paying
You see three card names and pictures; the reading text itself needs an account.
Sign-up
Required to see the free reading: email and password, or Google, Facebook or Apple.
New-customer offer
The sign-up box offers 50% off a premium reading.
Best for
People who already like Tarot.com's reports and don't mind an account

What we like

  • A wide range of readings and horoscopes
  • A choice of decks
  • Well-known and long-running

Watch out for

  • The sign-up wall arrives after you've drawn
  • A store currency makes costs harder to compare
  • Urgent sales wording and heavy ads

Which one should you pick?

Pick Cafe Astrology if you are: Anyone who wants the most readable free natal report in English. A generous, well-written free birth-chart report, if you can put up with the ads and the length.

Pick Tarot.com if you are: People who already like Tarot.com's reports and don't mind an account. A solid name with a wide range of readings, but the free reading isn't free until you sign up, and the coin store nudges you toward the biggest pack.
