A deterministic draw from the 22-card Major Arcana, upright or reversed, for the spread you choose.
Draws use the same seeded, deterministic engine as the rest of the site — the same seed always produces the same cards in the same order. Card meanings follow the standard Rider-Waite-Smith tradition, and a reversed card reads as blocked or internalized energy, never as 'bad'.
We don't predict a specific event — this is a mirror for reflection. We also take care that a card's name doesn't get mistranslated into a local word with an unrelated meaning.
It's seeded and deterministic rather than freshly random — the same seed always draws the same cards in the same order, the same way our rune and Ogham draws work.
No — a reversed card is read as blocked or internalized energy, not as a bad card. We never attach a guaranteed outcome to any card.
It is a small deck and there is no reason to keep it behind a tap. Both readings every card can give are set down below, in the English this section is written in: 66 phrases for the cards that come up standing and 46 for the ones that come up lying down. Nothing is written fresh at the moment of the turn, and nothing is being held back for a better day.

The row runs in the order the trumps have always been numbered: The Fool stands at the head of it and The World closes it at 21. Those numbers are names rather than ranks here. The words you get back are fetched from the one card in front of you, so a high number is not a stronger draw.
Two places in that column are worth a second look. Number 8 here is Strength and number 11 is Justice, which is the order Rider–Waite–Smith settled on; older Continental decks, the Marseille pattern among them, number those two the other way round. This deck follows one of the two orders the whole way down rather than mixing them, so a card's number and its wording always come from the same tradition.
Every card is given the same three phrases standing, so none of them is described at greater length than the rest, and a card lying down is given two or three, 46 across the deck. Not one card is left without that second reading. A card that landed with nothing to say would be the deck quietly declining to answer, and the table is there so you can see that none of them does.
With two readings to a card and no third, there are exactly 44 different card texts this page can put in front of you. A single-card spread hands you one of those 44.
Each card carries one more line of its own, written to hold true either way up, and the turn never reaches it. That line is looked up by the card alone, with which way it fell not passed in at all.
The deck is dealt into two layouts, and their seats are named rather than numbered. The free one turns a single card for Today, which stands for the mood coloring your day, and puts one question to the deck: What does my heart need to hear today? The other turns three cards, and each seat says what it answers. Past is the current that carried you here; Present is where you're standing right now; Future is where this leans, if it keeps flowing. A seat is a frame you bring rather than one more thing being calculated: the same card in a different seat gives back the same words, because the lookup is handed the card and never the seat.
