About the Random Tarot Card Generator
The full deck is here: 22 Major Arcana from The Fool to The World, and 56 Minor Arcana across Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles, each suit running Ace to Ten plus Page, Knight, Queen and King. Every card arrives with two or three keywords from the Rider Waite Smith tradition, so Four of Swords comes through as rest, recovery and deliberate stillness rather than as a bare card name.
Orientation is drawn separately, giving each card an even chance of landing upright or reversed. That matters for readings that treat the reversal as a softening, a delay or an inward turn of the same meaning. With repeats switched off you get a proper draw from a shuffled deck, where a card that has already appeared cannot come up again in the same spread.
Set the count to three for the standard past, present and future layout, to one for a daily card, or to ten for a Celtic Cross. It is also handy for learning the deck, since drawing twenty cards and covering the keywords makes a fast self test. For prompts of a different kind, the Random Quote Generator and Random Proverb Generator give a line to reflect on instead of a card.
How to use
- Set the number of cards to match your spread, three for past, present and future.
- Leave No repeats ticked so the draw behaves like a real shuffled deck.
- Press Draw, then read the keywords and the orientation together.
Common questions
- Is the whole deck included?
- Yes, all 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana and the four suits of 14 Minor Arcana each.
- How are reversals decided?
- Each card gets an independent even chance of being upright or reversed, the same as turning a card from a shuffled deck.
- Whose keyword meanings are these?
- They follow the common Rider Waite Smith reading tradition, condensed to two or three words per card.
- Can two draws give the same card?
- Not within one spread while no repeats is on. Press Draw again and the deck is effectively reshuffled.
