Tarot guide: all 78 card meanings, the Major Arcana, the four suits and spreads →
Tarot is a tool for symbolism and reflection; a reading reflects the traditional meanings of the cards, not a prediction. Cards are shuffled with your browser's random number generator, and the card designs are original to this site. For important decisions, seek professional advice.
How to use it, and common questions
How to draw
- Settle on a question. The more specific, the better: "What should I watch for at work in the next three months?" is easier to read than "Will I succeed?"
- Choose a spread. One card works as a daily reminder; three cards show how a situation unfolds or what stands in the way and what to do; the ten-card Celtic Cross suits more complex questions.
- Decide whether to include reversed cards. Beginners can start with upright cards only and add reversals later.
- Press "Shuffle and draw", then turn the cards over one by one. Each card has upright, reversed, love and work notes; "Full meaning" opens the card's page with its symbolism, money and advice.
How to read the cards
First see what each position in the spread stands for, then read the card. Many Major Arcana suggest the matter touches a deeper life lesson; many cards from one suit show where the question is focused, such as Cups for feelings and Pentacles for money and work. Finally, link the cards into a story and ask yourself where it matches your real situation.
Common questions
- Can I keep drawing for the same question?
- It is better not to. Traditionally you ask once; drawing again and again usually adds confusion. Ask again after some time, or when the situation has changed.
- Are Death and the Tower bad cards?
- No. Death usually means the end of a phase and a transformation; the Tower means breaking down an unstable structure. Both are reminders of change, not forecasts of disaster.
- Is drawing online the same as a physical deck?
- The site shuffles with your browser's random numbers, so every card has the same chance. The value of tarot lies in how the meanings guide your thinking, not in how the deck is shuffled.
- Is my question recorded?
- No. It stays in your browser and is never sent or stored.
