How We Read — Methodology & Limits
How the AI readers work
- ✦Structured meaning grounding: the meanings, keywords and action guidance of 78 cards × upright/reversed × 5 languages are injected as the factual basis of every reading
- ✦Position-bound interpretation: the same card means different things in Past/Present/Future versus Obstacle/Key positions — readings always bind card to position
- ✦Reading craft: reversals read as blocked/inward/delayed/overdone (one chosen, not all); elemental interactions (Fire feeds Air, Water supports Earth); Major Arcana share signals the scale of a situation
- ✦Safety layer: questions signaling self-harm or suicidal ideation are not read — the reader responds gently and refers to local crisis resources
What tarot cannot do
- ✕Predict a fixed future — the cards show the current flow and your options; the outcome depends on your participation
- ✕Give specific dates — timing is described as phases and conditions (what needs to happen first), never as a calendar day
- ✕Read another person's mind as fact — the reader describes what the cards suggest about likely feelings, then brings focus back to what you can observe and choose
- ✕Replace professional help — readings are not therapy, medical, legal or financial advice
Our stance
Tarot offers a lens; the decision is yours. That stance is written into every AI reader's rules — and into what we refuse to do: no fear-selling, no promised outcomes, no "free" bait.
In crisis?
If you or someone near you is having thoughts of self-harm, please contact your local crisis hotline or emergency services immediately. Tarot is not a crisis support tool.
