TarotGuide is a browser-based AI tarot site where you pick a spread, draw cards by hand or automatically, and get an interpretation from a love-focused or career-focused AI reader. Guests get one free AI reading per spread each day, and credits unlock further readings.
TarotGuide is a browser-based AI tarot reading site: you type an optional question, pick a spread, draw cards yourself or let the site draw them, and get an interpretation written by AI. It is a personal project run by Chuweifeng, an independent creator who builds AI tarot and self-reflection tools. The card interpretations follow the Rider–Waite–Smith symbolic tradition and publicly documented tarot history.
Two named AI personas sit on top of the reading engine: Moonlight Yao for love and emotional questions, and Stella Rivers for career, money and major decisions. Around the readings, the site adds a meaning page for each of the 78 cards, a birth card calculator, a two-card combination calculator and beginner-level blog guides. Access runs on credits, with a daily guest trial and starter credits for new accounts.
TarotGuide combines a card-drawing interface, AI interpretation, conversational readers and study material on card meanings.
Each spread fixes the number of cards and the meaning of each position. The selector also shows what a reading costs once the free guest trial for that spread is used.
| Spread | Cards drawn | Credits after the free trial |
|---|---|---|
| One Card | 1 | 1 |
| Past Present Future | 3 | 1 |
| 5 Card Spread | 5 | 2 |
| 7 Card Spread | 7 | 2 |
| Love Reading | 5 | 1 |
| Career Reading | 5 | 1 |
| Soulmate Reading | 5 | 2 |
| His Thoughts (What Is He Thinking) | 5 | 2 |
| Yes or No | 1 | 1 |
| Celtic Cross | 10 | 3 |
| Daily Tarot | 1 | 1 |
Card count and price do not move together: the Love and Career readings use five cards at the lowest cost, while the general five-card spread, Soulmate and His Thoughts use five cards at a higher cost.
Each AI tarot reader has a declared specialty, so choosing one is mainly a choice of tone: Moonlight for heart-centred questions, Stella for practical planning.
TarotGuide's AI analyzes the drawn cards using their traditional meanings, their positions in the spread and your question, and it considers upright and reversed meanings, elemental associations and symbolic connections. The result is one connected narrative rather than separate card definitions. TarotGuide also states that its generator uses cryptographically secure randomization; no independent test of that claim was found.
The Free plan lists the birth card calculator and a basic card meanings library. The credits reference table also prices a Combination Reading at 2 credits and a Birth Card Report at 3 credits.
On the homepage and the spread pages, a reading follows these steps.
Beginners are advised to start with 1-3 cards, while the Celtic Cross is aimed at major decisions and takes more skill to interpret. For a specific topic, TarotGuide recommends waiting at least a week before asking again, to avoid over-reliance on external guidance.
The spread positions show what a reading will cover before you spend credits.
The Love Reading assigns its five cards to You, Partner, Relationship, Challenges and Outcome. A question such as "What is blocking us from growing closer?" is read through those positions, and Moonlight Yao is the reader positioned for it.
The Career Reading examines your current situation, opportunities, challenges, advice and outcome. Stella Rivers is aimed at this kind of question, and "What's my financial outlook?" is one of the quick-start questions on the reader page.
The Celtic Cross uses 10 positions: present situation, immediate challenge, past foundation, recent past, best outcome, immediate future, your approach, external influences, hopes and fears, and final outcome.
TarotGuide suggests drawing a card each morning for guidance and reflection throughout the day, and the Free plan includes Daily Tarot and One Card readings.
The birth card method adds the full date: March 15, 1990 gives 1990 + 3 + 15 = 2008, and because the sum is above 22 the digits are added again to reach 2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 10.
The combination calculator's examples pair The Sun with The Star as amplification, and The Devil with The Star as tension between bondage and hope.
TarotGuide suits people who want structured prompts for reflection and accept an AI, not a human, as the reader.
TarotGuide is a responsive website that works on mobile devices, tablets and desktops.
TarotGuide sells access through credits. Guests get 1 free AI reading per spread each day, and after that readings continue with credits. The homepage and the Free plan card promise 20 free credits on sign-up, valid for 30 days, while the Terms of Service state 3 (see the conflicts below). The "free tarot reading online" promise is narrower than the phrase suggests once those allowances are used.
| Plan | Monthly price | Yearly billing | Credits | Follow-ups per reading | Reading history |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not offered | 20 on sign-up, valid 30 days (terms say 3) | Not listed | 7 days |
| Lite | $9.90/month | $99.00/year | 100 per month (1,200 per year) | 1 | Unlimited |
| Pro | $19.90/month | $199.00/year | 250 per month (3,000 per year) | Up to 3 | Unlimited |
| Max | $29.90/month | $299.00/year | 500 per month (6,000 per year) | Unlimited | Unlimited |
The usage guide converts allowances into readings: 20 sign-up credits cover 20 one-credit readings or 6 Celtic Cross readings, and a Pro month covers 250 one-credit readings or 83 Celtic Cross readings. Yearly billing is labelled as a 17% saving, so Lite Yearly works out to $8.25 per month.
Pro adds premium AI interpretations and Duo Reading, which lets you choose two AI tarot readers for one reading; Max adds unlimited follow-ups, priority support and early access to new features. Each paid plan is marked "Cancel anytime".
| Pack | Price | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| 40 credits | $2.99 | Never expires |
| 100 credits | $6.99 | Never expires |
| 250 credits | $14.99 | Never expires |
Several free AI tarot sites cover similar ground; they differ mainly in sign-up rules, reader variety and languages.
| Tool | Access model | Reader setup | Distinguishing trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| TarotGuide | Daily guest reading per spread, then credits | Two AI readers (love, career) | Fixed spreads with listed credit costs; birth card and combination calculators |
| Tarotap | Free, no sign-up | Seven reader personalities | AI picks the spread from your question |
| Tarotoo | Free, no registration | Psychic chat option | Rider–Waite based; site in six languages |
As of September 2026, the review platforms and tech-media sources checked showed no qualifying review sample of at least 20 reviews and no independent press coverage of TarotGuide, and some channels blocked access. The limits below therefore come from TarotGuide's own terms, policy and pages.
The English page for The Fool shows a raw label ("info.keywords") and a line reading "The Fool is card number in the Major Arcana" with the number missing; other card pages were not checked line by line.
Partly. Guests get 1 free AI reading per spread each day. The homepage and the Free plan card promise 20 sign-up credits valid for 30 days, although the Terms of Service state 3; beyond that, readings use subscription or pack credits.
Interpretations follow the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition across all 78 cards, with upright and reversed meanings.
Yes, after signing in. According to the plan cards, Lite allows 1 follow-up question per reading, Pro up to 3 and Max unlimited; the reader page instead advertises up to 3 follow-up questions per reading at 1 credit each.
Its pages disagree: the privacy policy lists reading history as collected, the homepage FAQ says reading content is not stored, and the reader page says history can be deleted.
The Terms of Service say every purchase is final and non-refundable unless a refund is required by law.
