Daily tarot reading one card for today

One card while you get ready in the morning. The daily reading sets today's card from your birth date and today's date. It stays the same however many times you open it today, and a new card comes after midnight Japan time.

How to read the card of the day

With one card there is no layout to learn. Take the card's meaning and translate it into how you spend the day.

  1. Card of the day

    The mood of the day and what to keep in mind. Upright, you can use the card's strength freely today. Reversed, you tend to hold it back. Looking at it again in the evening shows what fit, and your reading gets better the next day.

Cards to welcome and cards to heed

  • The Sun

    A day that tends to feel bright. Good for meeting people or sending an important message.

  • The Magician

    A good day to begin. Start what you have been putting off and it goes smoothly.

  • Temperance

    A day not to push. Leave gaps in your schedule and take breaks to keep your balance.

  • The Moon

    Watch your assumptions today. Anything unclear can wait until tomorrow to be checked.

  • The Tower

    Plans may change. Leave extra time and you will not have to rush.

  • Strength

    Calm is on your side. The more heated a moment gets, the more one breath helps.

Sample reading: a weekday morning

TemperanceTemperanceCard of the day

Today's card is Temperance. Keep your feelings and your plans a little lighter than usual and the day stays balanced.

If requests start to pile up, put them in order before you accept them all. In conversation, hear the other person all the way through before you answer.

In the evening, something warm to drink will keep today's tiredness from spilling into tomorrow.

Making the daily card a habit

The daily card is most useful when you look back at the end of the day. Jot down the morning's card and what actually happened, and you start to see how each card shows up in your own life.

After a week or so, your reading of a repeat card gets much more specific. The basic meaning of all 22 cards is on tarot card meanings.

Can I see tomorrow's card?

The daily card is tied to the date, so tomorrow's card becomes available after midnight Japan time. If there is something important tomorrow, write a question about it in the one card tarot reading.

Daily tarot questions

When does the daily card change?

At midnight Japan time. If you are abroad, it still changes by the date in Japan.

Is it the same card all day?

Yes. With the same birth date and date, the same card comes up. The written reading is new each time, so the wording changes.

How is the daily card different from the topic readings?

The daily card reads the mood of one day. For a specific worry, three cards on love or career are more concrete.
