How to Pull a Card

Tarot meets you where you are. The way you pull a card can be simple, yet powerful—what matters most is your presence and your intention.

Begin by bringing a question to mind.

It can be specific.

What insight do I need about this decision?

Or open.

What energy is guiding me today?

Hold the question gently, like a whisper in your heart.

Close your eyes.

Take a breath.

Allow yourself to feel grounded.

Then, when you are ready, you may:

Press pause randomly if you are using the tarot video trusting that the moment you stop, the right card will reveal itself.
Take a screenshot if you’re working with the tarot video—capturing whichever card appears at the instant of your click.
Or, with a physical deck, simply shuffle until it feels right and draw the card that calls to you.

The method is less important than your openness. The card you draw is a mirror of the question you carried in, and of the energy surrounding you in that moment.

Once you’ve pulled your card, simply click on the icons below to explore the basic meanings.

These give you a starting place—upright and reversed interpretations—to help you begin your reflection.

Let the meanings spark your intuition, not replace it.

Your Tarot Guide

This guide is meant to be a starting point—a simple foundation. It is not here to replace your intuition. You are the expert.

When you pull a card, your first impression—the image that catches your eye, the feeling in your body, the word or memory that stirs—is just as important (if not more so) than any written meaning. Tarot speaks in layers, and your own resonance is the key to unlocking them.

Tarot is layered and deep. Each card offers more than its keywords. Meaning comes through the imagery, colors, and symbols. Through the way a figure is turned—face-forward, looking away, to the left or right. Through the position of the card in a spread, and through the question in your heart when you draw it.

Think of this guide as scaffolding. It gives you a frame. But you fill it with your own perception, story, and knowing.

The Structure of the Tarot

The tarot is made up of 78 cards, divided into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

The Major Arcana (cards 0–21) tell the story of the Fool’s Journey.
It begins with 0: The Fool, the leap into the unknown, and travels through archetypes of growth, challenge, love, transformation, and awakening until it arrives at XXI: The World, the completion of a cycle. These 22 cards are the “big picture” archetypes of the tarot, revealing spiritual, universal, and life-changing themes.

The Minor Arcana are the everyday reflections, the details of daily life, divided into four elemental suits:

Wands (Fire): Passion, inspiration, creativity, action, swiftness
Cups (Water): Emotions, intuition, relationships, love, healing, the heart
Swords (Air): Thoughts, communication, beliefs, conflict, clarity of mind
Pentacles (Earth): Health, wealth, education, work, property, the material world

Each suit runs from Ace through Ten, telling a mini-story of beginnings, development, challenge, and completion.

Ace (1):
New beginnings, potential, seed of energy
Two (2):
Duality, balance, choices, partnership
Three (3):
Growth, creativity, expansion, expression
Four (4):
Stability, structure, foundation, endurance
Five (5):
Change, challenge, conflict, movement
Six (6):
Harmony, adjustment, alignment, resolution
Seven (7):
Introspection, investigation, reevaluation, tests
Eight (8):
Achievement, mastery, transformation, momentum
Nine (9):
Culmination, attainment, nearing completion
Ten (10):
Fulfillment, wholeness, endings that become new beginnings

The minors are followed by the Court Cards: Page, Knight, Queen, and King.

The Courts often represent people, roles, or aspects of yourself—ranging from the Page’s curiosity and openness, to the Knight’s active pursuit, to the Queen’s mature wisdom, to the King’s steady authority.

The tarot is both mirror and map. Use these meanings as doorways, but let your intuition walk you through. Your connection with the cards is the most important guide of all.

Origin Story of the Rider Waite Smith Tarot

In the early 20th century, a current of esoteric revival ran through Europe. One of the most influential groups at that time was the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society devoted to the study of magic, astrology, alchemy, and the mystical arts.

It was within this circle that Arthur Edward Waite, a mystic and scholar, collaborated with Pamela Colman Smith, a fellow member and visionary artist, to create what would become the most widely recognized tarot deck in the world. First published in 1909 by the Rider Company, the Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot (sometimes shortened to RWS, though many modern practitioners emphasize Smith’s name to honor her artistry) marked a turning point in tarot history.

Unlike earlier decks that left the numbered Minor Arcana mostly as decorative pips, Smith’s illustrations filled every card with symbolic scenes, rich with narrative and emotion. These images made tarot more accessible—suddenly, even a beginner could enter the story of each card without needing years of rote memorization.

But the Rider–Waite–Smith was more than just a new look. It carried the Golden Dawn’s esoteric blueprint: a web of correspondences tying tarot to astrology, Kabbalah, numerology, and elemental theory. Each Major Arcana card was linked with a planet or zodiac sign; the suits were aligned with the four elements; and numbers connected to both mystical and practical cycles.

This fusion created a multidimensional system of insight—where pulling a tarot card could also gesture toward an astrological archetype, a path on the Tree of Life, or an alchemical principle. The deck was both mirror and map: a tool of divination and a language of the cosmos.

That is why the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot has endured. It is not only iconic artwork—it is a living synthesis of mystical traditions, one that continues to guide seekers more than a century later.
