Tarot Card Meanings by Position: All 702

A card's meaning changes with its job in the spread. Below are all 702 position-specific meanings — every one of the 78 cards read as feelings, intentions, outcome, advice, an obstacle, action, a person, how someone sees you, for a yes or no question — each with upright and reversed interpretations.

Also see all 231 major arcana combinations and all 2,772 minor arcana combinations.

As feelings (78 cards)

The feelings position describes an emotional weather pattern — what is felt, whether or not it has been spoken.

As intentions (78 cards)

The intentions position describes what someone means to do — the direction of their will, acted on or not.

As outcome (78 cards)

The outcome position sketches where things are heading if current energies continue — a trajectory, not a fixed fate.

As advice (78 cards)

The advice position stops describing and starts prescribing — the posture, move, or mindset the situation is asking for.

As an obstacle (78 cards)

The obstacle position names what is in the way — often an inner pattern wearing an outer costume.

As action (78 cards)

The action position points at the concrete next move — the smallest honest step that changes the pattern.

As a person (78 cards)

The person position describes who — the personality, role, or energy showing up as a human figure in the situation.

As how someone sees you (78 cards)

This position describes the impression you make — how someone sees you, which is not always how you are.

For a yes or no question (78 cards)

The yes-or-no position gives the card's direct answer — yes, no, or maybe — with the nuance the card insists on.
