This page is for readers who work with a physical deck. Pick a classic spread layout, mark the cards you actually drew — and AI will prepare a detailed interpretation based on the positions, card combinations and your question.
No need to flip through guidebooks and combine meanings by hand: the AI is trained on a vast body of tarot texts and will read your spread as deeply as the online spreads on StarTarot.

Why decode a tarot spread online
The hardest part of reading tarot on your own is not laying the cards out but reading them correctly. Every card changes its meaning depending on the position, the neighbouring cards and the question asked. Beginners often read cards in isolation and miss the key part — the connections and the overall dynamic of the spread.
Online decoding solves this: you transfer your spread to the site, and AI analyses it as a whole — positions, combinations, reversed cards and the context of your question. You get a structured interpretation with practical conclusions instead of a list of dictionary meanings.
How to transfer a spread from your deck to the site
Lay the cards out in the position order of the chosen layout and do not move them until the reading is done. If a card came out reversed, leave it as it is and mark it when selecting the card on the site — the orientation affects the interpretation.
Card names vary between decks, but the structure of a classic deck is the same: 22 Major Arcana and four suits of 14 cards. Look the card up by suit and rank — the thumbnails in the picker help you match the image.
FAQ: Tarot Spread Interpreter Online
What is the online spread interpreter for?
If you read with a physical deck, you can transfer the drawn cards to the site and get a detailed AI interpretation. The model analyses the connections between positions and answers your question — no need to combine card meanings from guidebooks by hand.
Which spreads can be interpreted?
All the classic layouts: Card of the Day, Past — Present — Future, the Cross, the Celtic Cross, You — Me — Us and the Decision Tree. Pick the one you used for your reading.
What if a card came out reversed?
When selecting the card, flip the "The card came out reversed" toggle. AI will apply the reversed meaning in the interpretation — as a delay, a blockage or an inner aspect of the situation.
How do I find the right card quickly?
The picker has a name search and suit filters: Major Arcana, Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. We use the classic 78-card deck structure — even if the names in your deck differ, the suit and rank will match.
How is this different from an online spread?
In an online spread you draw cards from a virtual deck right on the site. Here it is the other way round: the cards have already been drawn in real life, and the site helps you decode them. The interpretation uses the same layouts and prompts as the classic online spreads.
Do I need to write a question for the spread?
Yes, most layouts require a question: it helps AI tie the card meanings to your situation. Phrase it the same way you did while laying out the cards — the more specific, the more accurate the reading.
