Online Tarot: Free Card Reading
Online tarot is a reading with tarot cards drawn at random on the screen. The deck has 78 cards: 22 in the Major Arcana and 56 in the Minor Arcana, in four suits of 14 cards (wands, cups, swords and pentacles). Every card has a meaning upright and reversed; the meanings here follow the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
Tarot is a tradition for reflection, not scientific proof and not a prediction.
The cards are drawn at random from all 78 and stay on this device until midnight.

How to read tarot cards online
On this page you draw the cards and read their meanings. The interpretation of the whole spread as one text for your question is in the spread interpreter and needs a sign-in.
The question
Think about what exactly you want to know. One card is enough for a question with two outcomes; “why” and “where to” need three or more.
The draw
The cards come out at random the moment you press, from all 78. Each one can be upright or reversed.
The reading
Every card has its own keywords, and its place in the spread says which part of the question they speak to: the past, the present or the future.
- Uprighthope, faith and inspiration
- Reversedlack of faith, despair and pessimism
Example: The Star, upright and reversed, with the keywords of each side
