Yes/No Tarot turns over one card from the complete 78-card deck - the 22 trumps and all 56 suit cards - and reports the leaning it carries: Yes, No or Maybe. The draw is a fresh shuffle every time you press the button, so pressing it again can give you a different card and a different answer; that is the honest description of what happens, and the page says so beside the result rather than dressing a random draw up as fate. Each card arrives with its full upright or reversed meaning, grounded in A. E. Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911) and cross-read against Mathers (1888), with the source shown on the card. The Yes/No leaning itself is ours, not theirs - no handbook prints a yes-or-no column - and the page states that plainly under every verdict.
The question is for you, not for the shuffle - this draw is random, so what you type does not change the card. Drawing again can change the answer, and that is the honest description of it.
One card feeling thin? the three-card reading, the Celtic Cross or the meanings of all 78 cards.
The draw is a full shuffle of all 78 cards from which exactly one is turned over, upright or reversed. Hold your question in mind - ideally something specific that could be answered yes or no - and draw. Your typed question does not steer the shuffle; it is there to keep you reading one subject rather than re-interpreting the card until it agrees with you.
The leaning comes from the card's own divinatory meaning. Cards of arrival and success lean Yes; cards of pause, loss and delay lean No; cards of ambiguity answer Maybe. A reversed card flips a clear Yes or No, while a Maybe stays a Maybe - because the opposite of maybe is still maybe. That mechanical reversal is Mathers' rule; Waite reads reversals more softly, and the card-meanings page sets out the disagreement instead of pretending it is settled.
The verdict is one word and the card is a paragraph, which is the wrong way round if you only read the word. The deck is 78 cards in two parts: 22 trumps numbered 0 to 21, which speak in broad life themes, and 56 suit cards running ace to ten and then Page, Knight, Queen and King in each of four suits.
Because all 78 are in the pool, a suit card comes up about two and a half times as often as a trump (56 of the 78 against 22) - and that is the useful case, not the disappointing one. A trump names a theme; a suit card names the department of life the question belongs to, which is usually the more answerable half of what you asked.
Every upright and reversed reading on this page is grounded in the divinatory meanings printed in A. E. Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911), Part II, cross-read against S. L. MacGregor Mathers, The Tarot (1888). The prose is this app's own and the rules are theirs, and the source is printed on the card rather than left implied. Waite's own divinatory paragraphs are telegraphic lists of nouns that read as authority when pasted into a product, so they are written out as plain sentences and cited instead of quoted.
The trumps also carry an astrological attribution line taken from Paul Foster Case, An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot (1920), the earliest public-domain printing of the table Waite withheld. One meaning deliberately departs from Waite: the Queen of Swords, whose 1911 entry reads "widowhood". This app does not predict a death, so she carries her other attested reading instead, and the divergence is printed rather than quietly smoothed over. The deck ships no artwork at all - cards are set typographically from rank, numeral, suit and element while original illustration is commissioned.
Each of the 78 cards carries a Yes, No or Maybe leaning read off its own divinatory meaning: cards of arrival and success lean Yes, cards of pause, loss and delay lean No, and ambiguous cards answer Maybe. A reversed card flips a clear Yes or No; a Maybe stays a Maybe. The leaning is this app's own summary of the card - Waite, Mathers and Papus all give meanings, but none of them prints a yes-or-no table, and the page says so under the verdict.
No. This is a single-card draw with no birth data required - just think of your question and pull a card. It is separate from the horoscope and kundli tools that use your birth details.
Not necessarily. Every press is a fresh shuffle of all 78 cards, so the card and the leaning can change - nothing here is fixed in advance or chosen for you. If you want a reading that stays the same when you come back to it, the card of the day is fixed to you for a whole day, and the personalised tarot report is fixed to the details you enter.
Cards of arrival and success lean Yes, cards of pause, loss and delay lean No, and cards of ambiguity answer Maybe. A reversed card flips a clear Yes or No while a Maybe stays a Maybe. This three-way leaning is this app's own summary of each card's divinatory meaning: A. E. Waite (1911), S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1888) and Papus (1889) each give the cards meanings, but none of them prints a yes-or-no column, so no source can be cited for the leaning itself.
