How Our Tarot Readings Work
How Our Interpretations Are Created
At Tarotoo, our tarot interpretations combine the classical symbolism of the Rider-Waite tradition with modern artificial intelligence to support reflection, insight, and personal exploration. The Rider-Waite tarot system, first published in 1909, is one of the most widely recognized and studied tarot traditions. Its imagery and symbolism form the foundation of many contemporary tarot practices. Our interpretation framework is based on these established meanings, drawing from traditional associations of each card, including archetypes, narrative themes, and symbolic patterns.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence
Our AI system analyzes card combinations, positional context, and traditional symbolic relationships to generate interpretations that reflect established tarot principles. The system is trained on a broad range of educational and explanatory materials related to tarot symbolism, card meanings, and narrative structures.
Rather than predicting the future or offering deterministic outcomes, our interpretations are designed to:
Highlight thematic patterns;
Encourage self-reflection;
Present multiple possible perspectives;
Support personal insight and contemplation;
Human Expertise and Review.
Our content framework is developed in collaboration with experienced tarot practitioners and spiritual consultants who contribute domain knowledge, interpretive guidelines, and editorial review. This ensures that interpretations remain consistent with traditional tarot philosophy while remaining accessible to modern users.
Animated Cards
All card images and their animations are created by a talented designer and animator, adding movement while keeping the classic tarot look. The animations are not just for show. They help create atmosphere, build emotion, and make each reading feel special. We use them to make the experience fun, engaging and meaningful in the same time.
Spreads
You can choose from popular spreads like Yes/No or Past-Present-Future for quick answers. If you want something deeper, we also offer two original five-card spreads for more detailed readings. We also offer a daily tarot spread that is unique to our platform. It combines tarot with astrology and numerology, using the current date along with your name and date of birth. This creates a daily message that feels personal and connected to the moment.
Process
The reading process is interactive and simple. You type your question, pick your cards, and flip them one by one. Each card appears with smooth animations that bring it to life. Our system interprets traditional tarot card meanings in the context of your question and provides in-depth readings to help you understand your life situation from an unusual (or not) perspective.
