How the Single Tarot Card Draw Works
Write one line about what is on your mind (or leave it blank), choose whether reversed cards are allowed, and press the button to draw a single card at random. You get the card name and number, its orientation, and the keywords it is commonly read with. Your line is echoed back with the result so you remember what the draw was about.
Major Arcana only, 22 cards
This page uses the 22 Major Arcana rather than the full 78, because those names are standardised and can be printed without guesswork. The numbering follows the Rider-Waite order, so Strength is 8 and Justice is 11. Marseille-style decks swap those two numbers, which is worth knowing if you compare with another deck. Orientation is decided by a coin flip on every draw, and if you switch to upright only, the result says so next to the orientation.
There is no single correct reading
The keywords shown are the widely used ones, nothing more. The same card is read differently across decks, traditions and questions. Tarot is a prompt for thinking something through rather than a way to learn the future, so treat this page as entertainment. Base real decisions on facts and on people who can advise you, not on a card.
