Your card of the day is one card from the complete 78 - the 22 trumps and all 56 suit cards, upright or reversed. It is not shuffled: it is computed from your name and today's date, which is why it is the same card every time you open this page today and a different one tomorrow. Leave the name blank and you get today's shared card, the same one every unnamed reader is looking at. The name stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere, no birth details are involved, and the card is a consistent daily prompt rather than a prediction about your day.
The name and today's date together decide the card, so changing the name changes the card. Leave it blank and you get today's shared card - the same one every unnamed reader is getting. The name stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
The draw covers the whole deck, so you may get a trump like The Star or The Tower, or a suit card like the Six of Cups or the Eight of Pentacles. That matters: the trumps speak in broad life themes, while the suit cards land on a department of life - enterprise, feeling, thought or money - and are often the more useful daily prompt precisely because they are smaller.
Each card is shown with its keywords, its element or attribution, and the full reading for the orientation you drew. Every meaning is grounded in A. E. Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911), cross-read against Mathers (1888), and the source is printed on the card itself rather than left implied. There is no artwork: the cards are set typographically from rank, numeral, suit and element while original illustration is commissioned.
The card is seeded on your name and the local calendar date, so it does not change when you refresh, close the tab or come back at midnight-minus-one. Change the name and the card changes with it, because the name is half the seed - the page shows you the exact seed it used, so you can check that the result really is a function of those two things and nothing else.
Being fixed is not the same as being fated. The card does not know anything about your day; what it offers is a single steady prompt to carry through it, which is the one honest claim a daily draw can make. No birth date, time or place is used, so this is not a horoscope or a Vedic prediction.
The deck is 78 cards in two unequal parts. Twenty-two are trumps, numbered 0 to 21, and each carries an astrological attribution taken from Paul Foster Case, An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot (1920). The remaining fifty-six are suit cards: four suits of fourteen each, running ace to ten and then Page, Knight, Queen and King. Because all 78 are in the pool, a suit card is about two and a half times more likely to come up than a trump: 56 of the 78 against the trumps' 22.
Each suit carries an element and a department of life. Wands are fire and enterprise, cups are water and feeling, swords are air and thought, pentacles are earth and money, work and the body. That is why a suit card is often the more usable daily prompt: it names where to look, while a trump names a theme. The deck is this app's own 78-card set published under a house name, and it ships no artwork, because the illustrations usually reproduced online are not public domain in every country this site is reachable from.
No. It is computed from your name and today's date rather than shuffled, so it stays the same all day however many times you open or refresh the page. The name is remembered in your browser so the card survives a reload, and a new card appears when the date rolls over.
The name is half the seed, which is what makes the card yours rather than everyone's - two people get different cards on the same day. It is optional: leave it blank and you get the shared anonymous card of the day. Either way it stays in your browser and is never sent to a server.
No. It is fixed, which means it is reproducible - the same name and the same day always give the same card. Reproducible is not predictive: the draw has no information about your day, and the page says so beside the card rather than in the small print.
Yes, though it is uncommon. The card is a function of your name and the calendar date, and a new date is an independent draw over all 78 cards - nothing excludes yesterday's card. A repeat is roughly a one-in-78 event, not something the tool prevents, and it carries no extra meaning.
