Over the years I have found use for automated tarot readings, when I didn't have easy access to a deck but could get to a PC. In my first steps on the Tarot journey, I wanted access to as many interpretations as I could find (I still find a fresh perspective can jog my intuitive abilities). Needless to say, your results may vary, but here's a list of sources for free readings and my previous experiences with them.
Online generators can be a helpful tool in learning divination, but I do not recommend relying on one or many online sources exclusively, since nothing really compares to working physically with the divination method.
I would love to hear about your experiences with these sites and any other online resources you have found helpful. Good luck!
Facade (http://facade.com) was the first site I ever found back in 2000 when I began reading Tarot, to give me discreet online readings from my parents house. This Site offers possibly a fairly comprehensive collection of divination tools available for free readings: Tarot, runes, I Ching, numerology, bibliomancy (divination through randomly selected passages of the Bible), stichiomancy (divination through randomly selected passages of books), and biorhythms. Their algorithms generate seemingly random readings, i.e., no normative repetition. This is the first source I found, early on in my experimentation with the Tarot, and I have been using their service with general success for almost as long as I've been working with the Tarot. The Seeker can choose from a dozen spreads and over a dozen decks. Be advised, the interpretations of the cards are not specific to each deck (with a few exceptions for the more non-traditional decks, such as the Haindl, H.P. Lovecraft, and William Blake Tarot decks). If you are a beginner, you might also want to look at the interpretations at Crystal-Clear Reflections (keep reading for further info/review on that site). The site lists interesting elemental correspondences for the Court Cards (for example, Queen of Wands is described as "The essence of fire behaving as water, such as a rainbow."
E-Tarocchi (http://www.e-tarocchi.com/) provides a slew of free oracle, horoscope and tarot readings, including "fortune teller" readings with regular playing cards.
Crystal Clear Reflections (http://www.crystal-reflections.com/tarot5/tarot5.htm) is somewhat difficult to navigate as a Web page, but if you run a Google search such as "Ace of Wands (R) crystal reflections" you will find philosophical depth and some questions to, erm, reflect on.
Albideuter.de http://www.albideuter.de/html/liebende.html is a great source for comparing art work from many decks. It is all in German, but if you're familiar with the Tarot format at all it's still relatively easy to navigate (and maybe a good tool for learning how to count in German). Also, Google chrome has a built-in translator, if you're just feeling lazy. ;)

Healing through the Emotional Freedom Technique
I have been struggling with how much information I can share with my readers while ethically protecting others' privacy, but the truth has to come out somewhere, somehow. This particular website is indicative of a particular relationship, so I will say this web site could apply to any relationship, but was particularly relevant to my own healing. My discovery of this web site coincides with revelations about my own behavior that I wish to enact changes with. Add to this the fact that the woman who runs this site shares her name with a patron goddess of mine (Danu, a mother goddess, at that, though it's not clear what faith she holds), I'd say I'm working with some serious synchronicity.

You might ask, how does this tie in with my tarot practice? Well, in further understanding our relationships and the reasons behind our behavior in encounters with certain behaviors from another, we empower ourselves to make choices towards our highest and best, and open up opportunities to reveal better choices for the person whose behavior is triggering our own previously unconscious patterns.
My job is to recognize this synchronicity not only in my life, but help others examine the patterns in their own lives. I help people interpret signs in their own lives, as I study my own. In a way, we are all deciphering our inner cryptographic language.
Tapping is a method of gaining freedom of distressing, persistent and potentially harmful emotions. It is not denial of the emotions or their power, rather, it is an acceptance of the power and the emotions' lessons for us. I believe that tapping enables our bodies to physiologically process the emotions we seek to free ourselves of. In any case, I'm trying it, and I feel more at peace and am engaging more productively in my life already.
