Editorial & Sources Policy

What card meanings are based on

All 78 upright and reversed card meanings follow the conventional Rider–Waite–Smith system, and every card page names the system it follows. Iconographic readings of the Major Arcana follow the compositional tradition of Pamela Colman Smith's artwork.

Source quotations

Card pages quote passages from A.E. Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (published 1911, now in the public domain) as a source layer. Quotes are kept verbatim and unedited, trimmed only to the passages directly about that card.

Correspondences & data

Elemental and astrological correspondences use the conventional Golden Dawn table; Hebrew letters and numerology follow Western esoteric tradition. Moon phase data is computed in real time with the Meeus astronomical algorithm (moon age ±0.1 day, syzygy dates ±1 day) — never cached or estimated.

AI-generated content statement

Readings are generated by large language models. They are entertainment and self-reflection content, not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Model output is grounded in the structured meaning library and spread position semantics above, and runs behind a safety layer that recognizes self-harm crises and refers to local help resources.

Updates & corrections

Meanings and tool pages are revised continuously with product iterations; the five languages are cross-checked against the Chinese and English baselines. Found a factual error? Write to support@tarot.baby with the page URL and the issue — we verify and fix.
