Tarot card meanings

A tarot deck has 78 cards. The 22 Major Arcana speak to the big themes of a life; the 56 Minor Arcana split into four suits and deal with everyday matters. Every card below has its upright and reversed meaning, with a page of its own.

Upright and reversed

  • A card that lands the right way up is upright and reads with its core meaning.
  • A card that lands upside down is reversed. It usually means that energy is blocked, overdone or not ready yet. It does not make it a "bad card".

Drawing on STARLOT

Hold your question in mind, shuffle, and draw three cards by intuition for past, present and future. When they turn over you first see each card’s upright or reversed meaning, then an AI reading ties the three together around the question you wrote.
