Tarot Tap is your personal tarot deck — one that gets to know you over time. Ask a question, draw a card, and let Spirit interpret it in the context of your life, your patterns, and your chart. CARD OF THE DAY A daily pull for perspective — small, steady, grounding. Share it or keep it private. YOUR CHART, DECODED Spirit reads your natal chart and weekly transits alongside your cards, so guidance is never generic. It's for you — and only you. ADD YOUR PARTNER'S CHART Bring their chart into your reading and ask Spirit anything about them — the vibe, the timing, what's really going on. CAST A SPELL Set an intention and cast a spell to manifest what you're really after — love, clarity, a new chapter. SPIRIT REMEMBERS Your feelings, patterns, and questions carry across sessions. Readings pick up exactly where you left off. YOUR SOUL CARD Drawn from the major arcana and your astrological chart, then illustrated from your own selfie — a touchstone for your core nature, and how you show up to others on Tarot Tap. COLLECT YOUR CIRCLE'S SOUL CARDS Save friends' Soul Cards and see how your charts play off each other — where you click, where you clash. READ TOGETHER, EFFORTLESSLY Invite friends, pull cards side by side, trade interpretations, and ask Spirit follow-ups together. YOUR ARCHIVE, BEAUTIFULLY KEPT Revisit past readings and trace your patterns across time — especially in love, work, and the questions you keep returning to. Begin with a free trial, then continue with a subscription for unlimited access. Invite five friends for a complimentary month.
