Hey everyone, I can’t access my physical cards right now and I’m looking for online sites that do single card draws with interpretations. I’ve got some big decisions coming up and could use a card pull to help me think things through.
I know meetup groups and reading circles are an option, but that’s not possible for me at the moment. Has anyone used websites that feel genuine? Not just those random generators that don’t give you any real connection to the cards.
I’m still learning the meanings, so sites that explain the card would be helpful. Any recommendations?

I did a reading for your question and got the Magician.
That’s one of the major arcana cards that deals with taking action and bringing ideas into reality. The Magician suggests you already have the tools and abilities you need. It’s that card where the figure has one hand pointing up and one down, connecting intentions with actual results. For your situation, it’s pointing toward things working out.
If you’re sure you just want a site to do it for you then you could just use the Tarot Guru one. I’m not a fan of anything that isn’t a human but it’s probably the best one.
Jung wrote about synchronicity and I think it applies to digital tarot too. The algorithm picks cards but maybe that’s just another way the universe works through technology. I use BiddyTarot sometimes for daily draws. Clicking the button feels different from shuffling cards but you’re still focusing on your question.
The cards that come up can be just as relevant whether they’re on a screen or in your hands and there’s a bunch of Tarot apps you could use.
Been procrastinating on Labyrinthos all morning. Keep clicking ‘draw another card’ instead of working.
The interpretations are pretty good though. Funny how I was using tarot to avoid my actual problems and the cards straight up told me to stop avoiding my responsibilities. My report’s still not done but hey, at least the cards were honest.
Been on Labyrinthos for a while now. They’ve got different decks - Golden Thread, Luminous Spirit, and the vintage Arcana Iris Sacra one 
I switch between them depending on my mood. The one-card readings come with explanations which is helpful if you’re still figuring out what the cards mean.
A lot of folks worry that computer-generated randomness isn’t the same as shuffling cards by hand. Digital shuffling, however, relies on sophisticated algorithms, providing randomness on par with physical methods. The cards you see online are just as fitting as any you’d draw yourself.
Hey! If you want to practice readings, check out Fools Sampler and Labyrinthos. They’re both free apps with all the card meanings included.
I like having them on my phone for when someone at a party asks about tarot but I don’t have my physical deck. You can do readings for friends without having to remember every single meaning. The apps are handy for learning since you can practice whenever. I’ve done readings at coffee shops, birthday parties, even on lunch breaks.
Just pull out your phone and you’re good to go.
I really hate digital Tarot stuff like this. It’s one thing to have an app for reference or to pull your cards, but anything that tries to tell you what your reading means…
I’ve been messing around with the Golden Thread app. It’s convenient having tarot stuff on my phone when I’m trying to learn more about it.
I like using Mystic Mondays for quick morning card pulls. The minimalist designs help me focus on my intuition rather than getting lost in complex imagery.
The site also timestamps your draws, so I’ve been able to spot patterns with cards that appear often. It’s pretty cool to see those trends over time.
I had a tarot teacher who went to Japan to study their practices. She mentioned they’re really into digital divination tools over there. They basically treat online readings the same as in-person ones, which I thought was cool. Different from how some people here see it.
Online readings can be just as meaningful. I know it seems weird getting cards through a screen, but I’ve had some pretty accurate pulls that way.
Digital tarot cards take way longer to connect with than physical ones. At least for me.
I used to get that instant recognition with my physical decks - pick them up and boom, there’s the connection. But with digital decks I have to keep coming back to them over and over. Sometimes it takes weeks before I start feeling anything from them. The screen definitely changes things. You need more time and patience than I initially thought you would.
There’s this old belief that intuition gets stronger without physical distractions, kind of interesting when you think about online tarot.
The weird thing about digital decks is you don’t get that feeling of shuffling real cards. You just have to go with what feels right. Facade is decent for beginners because it has the traditional imagery plus interpretations right there. Not the same as a physical deck but it works.
I like Labyrinthos but noticed they’ve tweaked a bunch of their interpretations over time. If you’re using an old version of the app, some of the meanings might be different now.
