You drew your cards at the kitchen table. Now you want to know whether you are reading them right.
This page lets you check. Type the question you asked the deck, choose the cards that came out, tell us the position of each one, and see what every card means for your situation, whether it is about love, work, money, health or your inner life.
How to check your tarot reading in four steps
- Write your question. The one you had in mind when you shuffled, up to 150 characters.
- Choose the topic. General, Love, Work, Money, Health or Spiritual. The same card reads differently in each.
- Add your cards. Pick the cards you drew, up to seven, and set the position of each: Past, Present, Future, Advice, Obstacle, Hidden influence or Outcome.
- Read the meaning. Each card gets its own interpretation for that topic and that position.
Why a card does not mean the same thing everywhere
The Tower is the clearest example. In a love reading it points to a sudden break, a truth that can no longer be ignored. In a work reading it can mean a restructure, or a role that stops making sense. In the Past position it describes what has already collapsed; as Advice, it tells you not to defend something that is already falling.
That is why you will not find one generic paragraph per card here. The meaning you see depends on the topic and the position you chose, the same way a tarot reader weighs them.
What each position means
- Past: what led to the situation and still shapes it.
- Present: the energy around you right now.
- Future: where things are heading if nothing changes.
- Advice: what the cards suggest you do.
- Obstacle: what is standing in the way.
- Hidden influence: what you cannot see yet, or are avoiding.
- Outcome: where the situation is likely to land.
Tips for reading your own spread
Read the cards as a story, in the order you drew them, not as isolated definitions. Notice repeated suits: several Cups point to emotion, Swords to thought and conflict, Wands to action, Pentacles to money and the material world. A run of Major Arcana usually signals a bigger turning point than everyday events.
The meanings here are for upright cards. Reversed cards are not covered yet, so enter a reversed card as upright. The card list follows the classic 78-card structure with Rider-Waite-Smith names, so it works with any deck that has the same cards.
Want the whole spread read together?
The card-by-card meanings are free and need no account. If you want more, you can ask for an AI interpretation that reads all your cards together in the context of your question, and then ask follow-up questions by drawing three more cards from your own deck. Your question stays in your browser unless you ask for that interpretation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I check what my tarot cards mean if I drew them at home?
+
Yes. Enter your question, the cards you drew and the position of each one, and this page shows what every card means for love, work, money, health or spirituality. You do not draw cards on the site: it works with your own deck.
Is it free?
+
The meaning of each card is free and needs no account. The AI interpretation, which reads all your cards together for your specific question, is optional and paid.
How many cards can I add?
+
Up to seven, enough for a three-card, five-card or seven-card spread. For a larger spread, enter the seven cards that matter most to your question.
Does it work with reversed cards?
+
Not yet. The meanings shown are for upright cards. If a card came out reversed, enter it as upright and keep in mind that, in many traditions, a reversed card softens, delays or turns inward the energy of the upright meaning.
Which tarot deck does it work with?
+
Any deck with the standard 78 cards. Names and numbers follow the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition (for example, Strength is 8 and Justice is 11). Marseille and Thoth decks share the same structure of 22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana, although some names, numbers and court cards differ.
Why does the same card mean something different in Love and in Work?
+
Because a card's message depends on the area of life and on the position it occupies. The Tower can be a breakup in a love reading and a restructure at work, so the meaning shown changes with the topic and position you choose.
