How is my spread decided?

Your cards are drawn deterministically from your question and date, so the same question gives you the same spread — a stable reading to sit with rather than a slot machine.

What do reversed cards mean?

A reversed card turns its meaning inward or dials it down — a blocked, latent, or more reflective form of the upright card's theme.

How a tarot reading works

Ask one clear question. The reading is an answer — the sharper the question, the sharper the mirror. Your question and your birth details seed the shuffle, so the same question with the same birth details always meets the same cards — ask something new and they change.
The deck is shuffled and three cards are drawn from all 78 — the 22 major arcana (life's great archetypes) and the 56 minor arcana in four suits (daily life's textures).
Each card lands in a position Past, Present, Future — and the position frames what the card speaks to.
Upright or reversed matters. A reversed card isn't 'bad' — it's the same energy turned inward, delayed, or out of balance.

The major arcana

The Fool
The open first step — trust before proof.
The Magician
Every tool already on the table — the only missing part is intent.
The High Priestess
A closed door, not locked — some answers arrive only in stillness.
The Empress
A field left to grow wild — care shown by what is allowed, not forced.
The Emperor
The frame that lets everything else stand upright.
The Hierophant
The rulebook everyone already agreed to before you arrived.
The Lovers
Two paths that only look identical from far away.
The Chariot
Two forces harnessed to pull the same direction at once.
Strength
A hand resting on something wild, not to cage it but to calm it.
The Hermit
A lamp carried alone, up a path no one else needs to walk yet.
Wheel of Fortune
The wheel keeps its own schedule — you only ever notice it moving.
Justice
The scale settles at exactly the weight it was given.
The Hanged Man
Upside down long enough for the room to look completely different.
Death
Not an ending inflicted — an ending that finally makes room.
Temperance
Two cups poured slowly into one, until neither is recognizable alone.
The Devil
A chain loose enough to slip, worn out of habit instead.
The Tower
The structure was already cracked — the lightning only finished the sentence.
The Star
After the storm, the clear sky — hope with its feet on the ground.
The Moon
A road seen only by moonlight — real, just harder to read.
The Sun
Nothing hidden left, and nothing hidden needed.
Judgement
The trumpet sounds for the life already lived, asking what comes next.
The World
The circle closes exactly where it opened, changed by the distance travelled.

The four suits

Wands — Fire and will — projects, passion, the spark that starts things.
Cups — Water and feeling — relationships, intuition, the heart’s currents.
Swords — Air and mind — clarity, conflict, truths that cut both ways.
Pentacles — Earth and matter — work, money, the slow build of real things.

Each card's full keywords appear in your reading above.

About the three-card spread

The three-card Past–Present–Future spread is tarot's most direct layout: one card for what led here, one for the present moment, one for where the current is heading. Upright and reversed cards shade the meaning.

The 78 cards of the Rider–Waite–Smith deck are a language of images and archetypes for reflecting on a decision — not a forecast. This page draws the cards; the app reads their story for your question.
