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.
