Symbols we changed

Most symbols stay exactly where the 1909 deck put them. A few were swapped for Korean equivalents with the same meaning.

• The Lovers

  two unclothed figures → two figures in hanbok. The two people facing each other beneath the angel, and the two trees of fruit and flame, stay exactly as they were.

• The Chariot

  black and white sphinxes → black and white haetae. We kept the black and white pair because it stands for two opposing forces guided by willpower.

• Strength

  lion → tiger. In minhwa folk painting the tiger stands for courage and protection. The meaning of guiding gently instead of by force stays the same.

• The Devil

  goat's head and the inverted star on the forehead → a horned human face. The heart of this card, that the chains are loose enough to remove yourself, stays the same.

• The Star

  an ibis in the tree → a magpie in the tree. In minhwa folk painting the magpie brings happy news, which fits a card about hope.

About these readings

Each card page gives the traditional upright and reversed meanings, what the card says about love, work and money, a yes-or-no reading, a walk through our picture, one everyday moment when the card might come up, questions to ask yourself and the card it's most often mixed up with. The meanings follow the 1909 Waite-Smith tradition; only the art is new.

The daily draw above picks one card per day by your local date, with about a three in ten chance of a reversed card. Your card is saved only in this browser on this device, so it stays the same if you come back later that day.

Tarot is a tool for reflection, not a prediction. For health, legal or money decisions, please talk to a professional.
