Tarot readings
Hold the question in mind. Shuffle the deck, turn it if you want to, and stop when you feel ready - where you stop is what you draw.
For example: “What is actually going on with me?”
Shuffle, or turn the deck

How it works
Four steps, and you do two of them
Choose the question
Seven areas, twenty-five spreads. Each one asks something different and reads its cards accordingly - two seven-card spreads never mean the same thing.
Shuffle, and stop
You start the shuffle and you stop it. Turn the deck if you want to. Where you stop decides the draw, which is why no two readings here are the same.
Watch them land
The cards fly out and settle into the spread, face down, some of them reversed. You turn them over one at a time, or all at once.
Read it
Every card is read for the place it landed in. Then the whole spread is read together: how much of it is Major Arcana, which suit leads, what is missing, what repeats.
The ones people open
Popular spreads
04.01 · Self-Discovery & Growth
My Current Inner State
“What am I carrying right now?”
Three cards, the shortest reading in the library: what you are carrying, what sits under it, and what would actually help. A good first spread.
01.05 · Love & Relationships
Relationship Dynamics
“What is really going on between us?”
Seven cards for a relationship that is already running: what each of you feels, what each of you is not getting, and the state, the tension and the direction down the middle.
02.01 · Career & Work
Should I Stay at My Current Job?
“Do I stay or do I go?”
The situation and what is under it across the top, then two columns: staying and leaving, each read short-term and long-term. The fork is the layout.
04.02 · Self-Discovery & Growth
Deep Self-Discovery
“What is actually going on with me?”
The Celtic Cross: ten cards, a cross and a staff. The longest and most demanding reading here - the situation and what crosses it, the past under it, what is conscious, what is coming, and the long outcome.
01.11 · Love & Relationships
Does This Person Remember Me?
“Am I still on their mind?”
Seven cards about someone else’s memory of you. It reads as a map of what remains, not as evidence about another person’s private thoughts - and it is worth holding lightly for exactly that reason.
05.01 · Life Decisions & Relocation
Stay in My Country or Move Abroad?
“Do I stay where I am, or go?”
You at the top, staying down one side and leaving down the other, each read for what opens, what it costs, and where it ends up - with the overlooked factor and guidance down the middle.
An honest lens
Tarot is an art of symbolism, not of fact-finding. The readings portray a scenario in which you are currently placed and help you frame your thoughts about the same. They are not evidence about anybody else’s private thoughts, and they are not predictions.
The draw is genuinely random: cryptographic randomness from your own browser, mixed with how long you shuffled and the moment you stopped. Nothing is weighted toward a nice answer, and nothing about your reading is sent anywhere - it is composed in your browser and kept in this tab only.
The same account of how everything on this site is calculated is on the method page.
Questions about tarot readings
Are these tarot readings free?
Yes. Every spread, the full 78-card deck and the whole written reading are free, with no account and nothing to unlock.
How are the cards chosen?
Your browser generates cryptographic random bytes, which are mixed with how long you shuffled, the exact moment you pressed stop and how many times you turned the deck. The deck is then shuffled completely and dealt in order into the spread. Nobody, including us, can predict or repeat a draw.
What does a reversed card mean?
A reversed card is the same card at a lower ebb: blocked, turned inward, weakening, or on its way out. It is not the opposite of the card and it is not a bad omen. Roughly half of the cards in any draw come out reversed, the same as a physical deck that has been shuffled and turned.
How do I pick the right spread?
Start from the question rather than the number of cards. Choose the area of life it belongs to, then the spread whose question sounds most like yours. If you are new, My Current Inner State is three cards and takes a minute.
Can tarot tell me what someone else is thinking?
No. Spreads that name two people are written to read the situation between them, and we deliberately avoid claiming to know anybody’s private thoughts or what they will do. Read those spreads as a map of what you are carrying, not as evidence about another person.
Can I save a reading?
A reading stays in your browser tab, so you can refresh or come back to it from the menu until you close the tab. Nothing is stored on our side, because nothing about it ever leaves your browser.

What is your question about?
Not “pick a number of cards” - pick what you actually want to understand. Twenty-five spreads across seven areas of life, a full 78-card deck, and reversals, because in a real deck nobody knows which way up a card is until it lands.
