Who we are
ORAE Tarot is a permanently free, bilingual tarot website in Traditional Chinese and English, operated by ORAE 塔羅. We believe the real gift of tarot is not prediction. It is an invitation to pause and use a rich set of symbols to sort through your feelings, your circumstances and your choices.
We set out to build a calm, honest and trustworthy space: no paywalls, no inflated promises, and no selling anything by playing on your worries.
What you can do here
- Draw cards online: from a single card to advanced spreads, with questions about love, work, money, relationships and personal growth.
- Three reading depths: Basic, Deep and Expert, all free.
- A complete card library: upright and reversed meanings, imagery, numerology and elemental correspondences for all 78 cards.
- Tarot Academy: step-by-step lessons and short quizzes that help you truly understand each card.
- Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly fortunes: gentle, regular prompts for reflection.
- Your personal records: save readings, keep a tarot journal and write notes so you can look back on how far you have come.
What we stand for
Free, permanently
Every feature on the site is free, permanently. There is no VIP tier, no subscription, no points and no paid unlocks. Membership status never affects your draw.
No AI in our readings
Interpretations come from a curated, human-written database of meanings for all 78 cards, combined with a fixed, rule-based interpretation engine. The same card in the same position always gives a consistent, traceable interpretation, not unpredictable generated text.
Fair, transparent draws
Every reading starts with a fresh shuffle using cryptographically secure randomness. No card appears twice in the same reading, and each card is independently upright or reversed. The words of your question never influence which cards are drawn, and the result is saved before the cards are turned over, so refreshing the page never re-draws.
Privacy first
Your readings, journal entries and notes are private by default. They are only shared when you deliberately create a share link; you decide whether your question is included, and you can revoke the link at any time.
Honest about what tarot can and cannot do
Tarot is a tool for entertainment and self-reflection. It is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial or other professional advice, and it cannot guarantee any future outcome. We hope you approach it with curiosity and keep the final decision where it belongs: with you.
About the card artwork
ORAE Tarot follows the symbolic system of the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. Every card face on the site is an original, stylized illustration created for ORAE Tarot, not a scan of any commercial deck. See our Card Image License page for details.
