Frequently Asked Questions

Tarotoo offers free AI-powered tarot readings and Psychic Chat. In interactive tarot readings, you choose cards online and receive a written interpretation based on your question (if provided), the selected spread, card positions, structured card meanings, and symbolic relationships. Psychic Chat combines open-ended conversation with spiritual tools and readings.

Tarotoo is designed for entertainment, self-reflection, spiritual exploration, and personal insight. It does not claim to predict the future with certainty or reveal objective truths.

No. The Tarotoo website and mobile apps are separate experiences under the same Tarotoo brand and may differ in features, tarot spreads, reading methods, and safeguards.

Tarotoo combines interactive card selection, animated tarot cards, structured Rider–Waite–Smith meanings, session-specific AI interpretations, multiple languages, and public documentation of its dataset and reading methodology.

The website is free to use, requires no registration, and its reading methodology, prompts, symbolic framework, tone, and safety approach were reviewed by a professional tarot reader.

Inbaal Honigman, a professional tarot reader and astrologer with more than 25 years of experience, reviewed Tarotoo’s reading methodology, symbolic framework, AI prompts and interpretation logic, spread structures, tone, and responsible presentation. Learn more about the review process.

Dr. LeMeita Smith separately tested and reviewed selected website safeguard responses. Her published assessment explains the scope and findings. Neither role involves approving each individual AI response before it is displayed.

We use AI to help draft, revise, and translate website text. Yaroslav Kyrychenko, Tarotoo’s founder, manually reviews and edits the original AI-assisted drafts before publication for clarity, factual accuracy, and consistency with how the service works.

Descriptive text on tarot-reading pages and the Psychic Chat page is additionally reviewed by Inbaal Honigman for symbolic consistency and clear presentation. These credits concern the page text actually assessed. Our Editorial Policy explains AI assistance, review roles, sources, translation, contributor requirements, and corrections.

People use Tarotoo for self-reflection, journaling, mindfulness, exploring emotions, considering relationship dynamics, thinking through decisions, spiritual curiosity, or entertainment.

Tarotoo is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, mental health, or other professional advice.

Yes. The Tarotoo website is intended only for people aged 18 or older.

For more information, read our Terms of Use.

Yes. The Tarotoo website is free to use and does not require registration. Tarotoo earns revenue through optional paid subscriptions in its separate iOS and Android apps. Tarotoo may also receive compensation from affiliate partnerships when users visit or purchase services through certain partner links, at no additional cost to them.

These sources of revenue help support the operation and continued development of Tarotoo while keeping the website free. For more information, read our Affiliate & Revenue Disclosure.

No. Affiliate relationships, affiliate compensation, and revenue from Tarotoo’s apps do not influence card selection, Tarotoo’s tarot card meanings, symbolic framework, reading methodology, AI prompts and logic, individual reading results, or Psychic Chat responses.

Affiliate promotions appear in visually separate promotional sections and are not included in tarot reading text or Psychic Chat responses. For more information, read our Affiliate & Revenue Disclosure.

For interactive tarot readings, Tarotoo matches your selected cards to their records in its structured tarot dataset. Relevant card meanings are combined with your question (if provided), selected spread, card positions, symbolic relationships, and interpretation instructions.

An AI language model provided through OpenAI’s encrypted API connection uses this information to generate the written interpretation for your session. The dataset supplies reference meanings; the completed reading is generated for the request.

For more detail, learn how our tarot readings work. See the Psychic Chat section for readings within a conversation.

No. Tarotoo does not simply display the same fixed reading for every card. Structured tarot meanings provide the symbolic foundation, while the written interpretation is generated for the current session using your question (if provided), selected spread, chosen cards, card positions, and relationships between the cards.

Before an interactive tarot reading, Tarotoo digitally randomizes the deck. You then select the cards yourself. Randomizing their order serves the same practical purpose as shuffling a physical deck.

The AI does not control the shuffle, choose your cards based on your question, or measure your intuition. It receives the selected cards and their relevant meanings to generate the interpretation.

In Psychic Chat tarot readings, code draws the cards randomly for you, and the AI interprets the result.

Yes. Tarotoo considers more than the meaning of each card on its own. Depending on the reading, the interpretation may consider card positions, relationships between cards, repeating themes, contrasts, supporting symbols, and the overall structure of the selected spread.

No. Individual tarot interpretations and conversational replies are generated automatically and are not manually written, approved, or reviewed by a tarot reader or another person before they are displayed.

Specialist review concerns the methodology, instructions, selected safeguard responses, or published page text described in the relevant review credit. It does not guarantee the accuracy, suitability, or safety of every generated response.

Tarotoo may review and update its reading framework when AI models change, prompts or interpretation logic are revised, tarot spreads are added or modified, safety requirements change, expert feedback is received, users report concerns, or new features are introduced.

Significant updates may also be reviewed for symbolic consistency, relevance, clarity, tone, and safety. A page’s update date reflects substantive editorial changes; it does not by itself indicate a new specialist review. See our Editorial Policy for how published text and corrections are handled.

Different card selections, spread positions, question wording, session context, and AI-generated wording can produce different interpretations, even when the general topic is similar.

You can repeat a question, but doing so many times within a short period may create confusion. It is usually more helpful to reflect on the first reading and return later or ask a clearer question if your situation changes.

Choose a tarot spread, enter your question or select “Skip question” where available, and pick your cards during the interactive reading experience. Tarotoo uses your question (if provided), selected spread, chosen cards, and their positions as context for the interpretation.

You may choose cards intuitively, but Tarotoo does not measure or evaluate your intuition.

Yes. Select Skip question where available to continue with a general tarot reading. The interpretation is based on the selected spread’s theme, the cards’ traditional meanings, their positions, and connections between them, without assuming a question for you.

Daily Tarot uses its separate name and birthday form instead of a question.

No. Tarotoo is designed for both beginners and experienced tarot readers. You do not need prior knowledge of tarot cards or symbolism to use the platform.

Clear and specific questions usually provide more useful context for the interpretation. Instead of asking an overly broad question, focus on a particular situation, emotion, relationship, choice, or area you want to consider.

Open-ended questions focused on your own perspective and possible actions are generally more suitable than questions that ask Tarotoo to reveal hidden facts or guarantee an outcome.

Read the interpretation again while considering each card, its position in the spread, and the question you asked, if you provided one. Some parts may be more useful when viewed as themes or possibilities rather than literal statements.

You do not need to force a reading to fit your situation. AI-generated readings may sometimes be unclear, overly general, inaccurate, or not personally relevant. Consider returning later with a clearer or more specific question.

Yes, but it is better to frame the question around your own perspective, choices, boundaries, or relationship with that person.

For example, instead of asking what another person is secretly thinking, you could ask what you should understand about the relationship or how you can approach the situation more clearly. Tarotoo cannot access another person’s private information, read their thoughts, track their actions, or verify their feelings or intentions.

In an interactive tarot reading, once your cards have been selected and the reading has been generated, you cannot edit that completed reading. To use a different question or choose different cards, start a new reading.

In Psychic Chat, you can add context or ask follow-up questions about an existing reading. This continues the conversation rather than changing the original cards.

Daily Tarot combines tarot symbolism with the name and birthday you provide, your zodiac sign, numerological context, and the current date to generate a personalized daily interpretation.

This information provides context for the reading. It does not allow Tarotoo to discover private facts about you or predict future events with certainty.

For information about how submitted data is processed, read our Privacy Policy.

Tarotoo follows the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition for its tarot symbolism and card meanings, one of the most widely recognized and influential tarot systems.

Yes. On tarot reading pages, open Settings → Card design and choose Original or New design. Both designs use the same 22 upright Major Arcana cards and card meanings; the choice changes their appearance.

You can choose a design before entering your question or before picking cards. Once you start picking cards, the design is fixed for that reading.

To keep your choice for future visits in the same browser on that device, select Remember my deck and sound settings on this device in Settings.

The interactive tarot pages currently offer a general five-card reading, a five-card Love Tarot reading, Yes/No Tarot, Daily Tarot, a one-card reading, and a three-card Past–Present–Future reading.

You can also request a one- or three-card reading in Psychic Chat and discuss the result in the same conversation.

Tarotoo’s website reading features currently use the 22 upright Major Arcana cards.

Tarotoo’s public dataset and interactive card meanings guide cover the complete 78-card Rider–Waite–Smith deck, including the Major and Minor Arcana.

Tarot readings are symbolic and subjective and should be viewed as a reflective and interpretive experience rather than objective truth.

Many users find tarot insightful or thought-provoking, but an AI-generated reading may also be inaccurate, incomplete, overly general, or unsuitable for your circumstances. You remain responsible for evaluating the content and making your own decisions.

No. Tarot should not be viewed as a guaranteed prediction of future events. Outcomes can change based on your actions, decisions, and circumstances.

Tarot is best used as a tool for self-reflection, perspective, and personal exploration rather than certainty about what will happen.

No. Tarotoo provides AI-generated content for entertainment, self-reflection, personal exploration, and general informational purposes only. It does not provide medical, legal, financial, psychological, psychiatric, mental health, personal safety, or other professional advice.

Do not use a Tarotoo reading or Psychic Chat response as the sole basis for an important decision. AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, outdated, generalized, misleading, or unsuitable for your circumstances. For more information, read the Disclaimer.

Tarotoo uses AI instructions and checks intended to identify questions seeking guidance on medical, legal, financial, mental health, major career, or personal safety decisions, as well as potential crises. Checks apply when you submit a question for an interactive tarot reading and when you send a message in Psychic Chat.

For a sensitive decision, the response may provide general information or encourage appropriate professional support instead of answering through divination. In interactive tarot readings, this happens before card selection. Where offered, select Continue for a reading about the displayed alternative question, or Skip question for a general reading without your original question.

These continuation options are not offered for immediate crises or urgent safety concerns; the response should direct you toward human help. Safeguards can miss or misunderstand a situation and do not guarantee an appropriate response. Read more in our Trust & Safety Center.

No. Tarotoo is not an emergency or crisis-support service. Although its AI is instructed to encourage appropriate human help when a potential crisis is identified, it may not recognize every situation. It cannot monitor users’ safety, contact emergency services, or replace immediate human support.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. Do not delay seeking help because of a tarot reading or AI-generated response. Our Get Help Immediately page provides crisis resources and other support options.

Readings and spiritual interpretations are not guaranteed predictions. You do not need to accept or act on content that feels unhelpful, upsetting, or inappropriate. If a response tells you what you must do, remember that it is AI-generated content and you do not need to follow it.

Consider taking a break and discussing your concerns with someone you trust. For medical, mental health, legal, financial, or personal safety concerns, seek support from an appropriately qualified professional.

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Do not delay seeking help because of a reading or chat reply. Our Get Help Immediately page provides crisis resources and other support options.

Email [email protected] or use the Report it link below a tarot reading or chat response where available. The link opens an email draft with reporting instructions. It does not automatically include your question, response, or conversation, and nothing is sent until you send the email.

Please describe the problem and include the relevant response or a screenshot. Remove any personal or sensitive information you do not wish to share. Reports can help us identify recurring issues and improve AI instructions, reference material, and interpretation logic.

Tarot and spiritual conversation can be useful for entertainment and personal exploration, but repeated readings or chats can become unhelpful if they increase anxiety or begin to feel necessary before everyday decisions.

If you notice that you are repeatedly asking the same questions, feel unable to make decisions without a reading or chat reply, or find that using Tarotoo is interfering with your daily life, relationships, finances, or wellbeing, consider taking a break and seeking support from someone you trust.

Tarot readings and AI conversations should not replace personal judgment, human support, or appropriate professional care.

Tarotoo uses encrypted connections to transmit information needed to generate readings, tool results, and responses. No account is required to use the website, and Tarotoo does not provide server-based website reading history.

Information needed for AI-generated features, including relevant conversation context and calculated results, is transmitted to OpenAI for processing. Birthplace searches and birth-chart calculations also use a calculator service hosted on Vercel. OpenAI and other service providers may process technical information under their applicable policies.

For information about processing, retention, and your choices, read our Privacy Policy.

Only provide information that is necessary for your reading or question. Do not enter passwords, payment card details, government identification numbers, private account credentials, exact home addresses, medical records, or other confidential information.

Avoid sharing sensitive information about another person without their permission. Information submitted through Tarotoo’s AI-generated features is transmitted to OpenAI for real-time processing. For more information, read our Privacy Policy.

Tarotoo does not provide account-based reading or chat history on the website. During a chat session, relevant messages and tool results can provide context for follow-up replies. Refreshing the page starts a new chat; leaving or closing a page may also make your current progress or results unavailable.

Copy text or take screenshots before refreshing or leaving, and use a tool’s Download option where available. You can share a saved copy, but remove any personal or sensitive information you do not want others to see.

For details about chat-session features, see the Psychic Chat FAQ. Our Privacy Policy explains processing and retention by Tarotoo and service providers.

No. Tarotoo does not use the questions or other information you submit to train its own AI systems.

Information you submit is transmitted to OpenAI for real-time processing. OpenAI does not use API inputs and outputs to train its models by default, and Tarotoo keeps optional API data sharing disabled.

OpenAI may retain API data for a limited period for security, policy enforcement, and abuse monitoring in accordance with its data-retention policies. For more information, read our Privacy Policy.

Tarotoo does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Information may be transmitted to service providers when necessary to generate readings or responses, operate and secure the platform, prevent abuse, provide analytics where permitted, or comply with legal obligations. For more information, read our Privacy Policy.

No. Tarotoo cannot read minds, access hidden information, view private accounts, track another person, or independently verify someone’s thoughts, feelings, actions, or intentions.

The AI generates responses using the information you provide, relevant conversation context, card meanings or tool results where applicable, and Tarotoo’s interpretation or conversational instructions.

Tarotoo does not store completed website tarot reading history in a personal account. Because of this, we generally cannot locate or retrieve a particular website reading after your session has ended.

If Tarotoo holds other personal information about you, contact [email protected] to request access to or deletion of that information, subject to applicable law and permitted exceptions.

For more information, read our Privacy Policy.

Yes. Tarotoo publishes a structured open dataset covering all 78 Rider–Waite–Smith tarot cards, including upright and reversed meanings, keywords, thematic interpretations, astrological associations, and yes/no values.

The dataset can be downloaded, cited, reused in research, integrated into applications, and used in AI and developer workflows under the MIT License. It is published through GitHub, Hugging Face, Kaggle, and Zenodo.

You can browse all 78 card meanings in an interactive, reader-friendly format or visit Open Data & Developer Resources for the dataset, methodology, documentation, packages, MCP server, and integrations.

No. The public dataset contains structured tarot card meanings and symbolic associations. It does not contain users’ questions, personal information, reading history, or AI-generated responses.

Tarotoo provides JavaScript and Python packages for working with its structured tarot data, along with an MCP server that allows compatible AI assistants, development environments, and other Model Context Protocol clients to access tarot card meanings.

Dataset formats, methodology, documentation, installation instructions, and integrations are available on our Open Data & Developer Resources page.

Psychic Chat is a free AI conversation for exploring tarot, astrology, Human Design, numerology, dreams, and spiritual practices. Type your own question or choose a tool from the menu. You can also request a supported tool by typing; it asks for the details it needs and uses programmed methods to generate calculated results or oracle draws for the AI to explain.

You can add context and ask follow-up questions in the same conversation. The chat may occasionally suggest a tool or practice, but you can decline and keep chatting. Use Back to menu to browse tools or leave an unfinished input flow.

You are chatting with AI. OpenAI generates explanations and conversational replies using your messages, relevant tool results, and Tarotoo’s instructions. The chat does not possess psychic abilities or access to hidden information.

The response framework has been reviewed by Inbaal Honigman, but individual replies are generated automatically and are not individually reviewed before display. Advertised services with human readers are separate from Psychic Chat.

On the interactive tarot pages, you choose a spread and select animated cards yourself. The AI then interprets those cards using their positions, relevant meanings, and your question if provided.

Psychic Chat supports open-ended conversation and optional spiritual tools, including one- or three-card tarot readings. In-chat cards are drawn randomly by code from the 22 upright Major Arcana, and the AI interprets the result. You can ask follow-up questions about the same cards. To select animated cards yourself, use the interactive tarot readings.

Tarotoo is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Desktop: Click the language dropdown with the globe icon in the top-right corner and select your preferred language.

Mobile browser: Tap the menu icon in the top-right corner, then use the language dropdown with the globe icon below the logo.

On a tarot reading page, open Settings and turn Sound on or off. Settings is also available before you enter a question.

To keep your preferences for future visits, select Remember my deck and sound settings on this device. Your card-design and sound preferences are saved in the same browser on that device. Uncheck this option to remove the saved preferences. This setting does not save your questions or readings.

If there is no sound, check that your device volume is turned up and that the browser tab or device is not muted. Some browsers block sound until you interact with the page, so tap or click the page before enabling it.

Check that your internet connection is stable and that JavaScript is enabled. Enter a question within the displayed character limit, or select “Skip question” where available. For Daily Tarot, complete the required name and birthday fields.

If the button or question field does not respond, temporarily disable browser extensions or content blockers for Tarotoo, or try opening the page in a private browsing window.

If you receive an error or the reading remains stuck, wait briefly and try again once. Repeatedly pressing the button may send multiple requests and result in a temporary restriction.

You can also try refreshing Tarotoo or clearing its cached data. Before refreshing, copy or screenshot any reading you want to keep, as your current progress or completed reading may be lost.

Tarotoo’s animated features may be affected by a slow connection, data-saving or low-power settings, disabled hardware acceleration, an outdated browser, or a browser extension that blocks video or interactive content.

Make sure your browser is up to date and temporarily disable content blockers for Tarotoo. If you opened Tarotoo inside a social-media browser, try opening it directly in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.

If the problem continues, try refreshing Tarotoo or clearing its cached data, enabling hardware acceleration in your browser, or using another current browser.

Before refreshing or clearing website data, copy or screenshot any reading you want to keep. Your current progress or completed reading may be lost.

First, try a forced refresh. On Windows or Linux, press Ctrl + Shift + R. On Mac in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, press Command + Shift + R.

If that does not help, clear the stored data for Tarotoo only:

Chrome, Edge, or Firefox: Open the browser settings, search for “site data” or “cookies and site data,” find tarotoo.com, and remove its stored data.

Safari on Mac: Select Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data, find tarotoo.com, and select Remove.

Safari on iPhone or iPad: Open Settings, find Safari, then select Advanced → Website Data, find Tarotoo, and remove its data if shown.

Chrome on Android: Open Tarotoo, tap the site information icon beside the address bar, select Cookies and site data, and delete the stored data.

After clearing the data, close and reopen Tarotoo. Clearing Tarotoo’s site data also removes any saved card-design and sound preferences. You may need to select your language, consent preferences, and reading settings again.

For more detailed instructions, see the official guides for Chrome, Firefox, Safari on Mac, Safari on iPhone or iPad, or Microsoft Edge.

Tarotoo uses automated security protections to prevent abusive or unusually high-volume requests. A VPN, proxy, shared network, disabled cookies or JavaScript, or several requests made within a short period may sometimes trigger a security check or temporary restriction.

Wait briefly and try again. Make sure cookies and JavaScript are enabled, and consider temporarily disconnecting from a VPN or proxy or switching to another network.

If the problem continues, email [email protected] with a screenshot of the page and any Ray ID displayed on it. The Ray ID helps us identify what caused the request to be blocked. Do not send your IP address or other sensitive information unless specifically requested.

Use our Contact page or email [email protected]. For a website-text correction, include the page address, relevant passage, and explanation of the issue. A supporting source is helpful where available. See our Editorial Policy for correction standards.

For a technical problem, include the page, what you were trying to do, what happened, any error message, your device and browser, and the approximate date and time. A screenshot or screen recording can help.

Remove personal or sensitive information you do not wish to share. For concerns about a generated reading or chat reply, follow the response-reporting instructions.
