How We Interpret the Cards
Last updated: October 28, 2026
The base: classic symbolism
The card meanings are built on the tradition of the Rider–Waite deck: the 22 Major Arcana describe big life themes, and the 56 Minor Arcana are split into four suits, Wands (action, will), Cups (feelings), Swords (thought, conflict) and Pentacles (work, money, body).
For each card we describe the general meaning, love, work, the reversed position and the answer in a yes or no spread. Upright and reversed positions are read as two sides of one theme, not as “good” and “bad”.
How a spread is read
Positions
The meaning of a card depends on its place in the spread: “past”, “present”, “advice”. We always name the position next to the card.
Combinations
Adjacent cards are read together: the theme of the suit and the number of the card strengthen or soften one another.
Yes or no
Each card is assigned one of three answers, yes, no or maybe, depending on its position. The result is decided by the majority of the cards.
What AI does and what it does not
The AI receives your question, the names of the cards, their positions and the key meanings from our library. It must answer the question instead of retelling a reference book, and it must not give medical, legal or financial instructions. The choice of cards is always yours: the AI does not change them.
We limit the number of requests so that the service stays free and stable, and we check answers from time to time.
The reference texts (card meanings, articles, zodiac pages) are prepared by the Nightarot editors, and the author of the materials is Max Raputum. Horoscopes rest on astronomical data: for each date the phase and sign of the Moon, the Sun and Mercury are calculated.
Limits
Tarot is a tool for reflection, not a scientific method. An interpretation does not replace a doctor, a lawyer or a psychologist, and decisions about health, money and safety must be made on the basis of facts. If you are going through a hard time, talk to people close to you or seek professional help.
