How Major Arcana Works

What is Major Arcana?

Major Arcana is a free AI-powered tarot reading app that generates personalized card interpretations based on your specific question. Unlike generic tarot sites that give the same meaning for every visitor, Major Arcana creates a unique, multi-phase reading that responds to what you actually asked and follows up based on what the cards reveal.

How does an AI tarot reading work?

You type your question in your own words — no categories to pick, no forms to fill out. The app draws cards from a full 78-card tarot deck and generates an interpretation that speaks directly to your situation. Each reading includes multiple card spreads, guided follow-up questions, and a closing summary that ties everything together.

The AI reads the cards the way a thoughtful, perceptive friend would — warm and direct, never vague or mystical. It challenges what you might want to hear rather than just confirming your existing beliefs.

Is the free reading really free?

Yes. Every visitor gets a full free reading with no account required and no credit card needed. The free reading includes one three-card spread (Reality, Distortion, Shift), one guided follow-up, and a closing summary. It takes about 5 minutes and is completely private.

What are the paid readings?

Paid readings go deeper with multiple phases, each with its own card spread. Five types are available; current pricing is shown when you choose a reading in the app.

Connection — Explores relationship dynamics across four phases: the field between you, what you each bring, where tension lives, and what's realistically possible.

Situation & Clarity — Maps what's really happening in a confusing situation, the emotional weight, the hidden pattern, and how to hold it.

Inner Landscape — A guided descent into what's present, what's shaping it, the vulnerability underneath, and how to carry it differently.

Decision — Clarifies what's driving a decision, maps the full terrain, then explores each option on its own cards.

Path & Direction — Reveals where you actually are, what's in motion, what the timing looks like, and how to walk the path from here.

What makes Major Arcana different?

Most tarot apps generate a single card meaning pulled from a database. Major Arcana builds a full conversational reading that adapts to your question, challenges your assumptions, and evolves across multiple phases. The AI has an anti-bias system that prevents it from just telling you what you want to hear — if the cards push back on your framing, the reading says so.

The app features a custom-designed 78-card tarot deck with dark navy monochromatic artwork, hand-crafted for this experience.

Is this a real tarot reading?

Major Arcana uses real tarot symbolism from the traditional 78-card deck, interpreted by AI. The readings are designed for reflection, self-exploration, and entertainment — not fortune telling or professional advice. The cards won't tell you what to do. They'll help you see what you already know.

Is my reading private?

Yes. Free readings don't require any personal information and aren't linked to any account. Paid readings are associated with an email address for access to your reading history, and you can delete your data at any time.
