Whether you're using a free tarot card generator or shuffling a physical deck, the magic lies in interpretation. This guide introduces foundational tarot knowledge and helps you start reading today.

1. What Is Tarot?

Tarot is a symbolic system of 78 cards—divided into Major and Minor Arcana—used to gain insight into past, present, and future. Each card reflects a universal theme or energy that mirrors life’s patterns.

2. The Structure of a Tarot Deck

22 Major Arcana: Life’s spiritual milestones (e.g., The Fool, The Tower).
56 Minor Arcana: Day-to-day events, divided into Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands.

3. How to Read Tarot

Start with a question. Then draw cards—physically or with a tarot generator. Try these spreads:

1 Card: Quick daily insight.
3 Cards: Past – Present – Future or Situation – Action – Outcome.
Celtic Cross: A complex 10-card spread for deep questions.

4. Understanding Card Meanings

Each card meaning shifts with context and placement. Reversed cards suggest internal conflict or blocked energy. Our online generator includes upright and reversed meanings.

5. Practice with Intuition

Tarot isn’t about prediction—it’s about intuition. Use our generator to reflect, meditate, and explore meanings. Let symbols spark self-awareness.
