Tarot Card Meanings: A Complete Guide

Most tarot guides online sound the same because they were written the same way: someone Googled a card, summarized what was already there, and added a few keywords. We're doing this differently. Every guide on this site is written from the perspective of one of our four readers — Luna, Mama Celeste, Raven, or Jade — in their actual voice. The Death card guide is written by Raven, our truth-teller, because she's the reader you'd want to walk you through endings. The Lovers is written by Mama Celeste, our warm-hearted mediumship reader, because she's the one who can hold the question of love without making it small.

This is a working library. We're adding new guides regularly — when one is published below, you can click it. When you see a card with a soft glow but no link yet, that one is being written. Bookmark this page if you want to come back as more are added.

How to Use This Tarot Library

If you just pulled a card and you want to know what it means, scroll through the lists below and find it. When the guide is published, the card name will glow gold and you can click into it.

If you don't have a specific card in mind and you want a reading right now, you don't need to read all 78 cards. Start a free 5-minute reading — pick a reader and tell her what's on your heart. She'll pull the card for you and tell you what it means in your specific situation. Reader-led readings are always more specific than generic card guides, because the meaning shifts depending on the question and the spread.

Every guide on this site has the same structure: upright meaning, reversed meaning, love, career, and what to do when the card shows up. The voices vary because the readers vary. Raven will tell you the hard part first. Mama Celeste will hold your hand through it. Luna will translate it into poetry. Jade will make you laugh while still saying something true. Pick whoever resonates.
