How the 2027 cards were drawn
For each sign we drew one card of the year at random from the 22 Major Arcana, so that no two signs share the same card, and four quarter cards from the full 78-card deck, with the same method as our free tarot reading. The interpretations combine each card's traditional Rider-Waite-Smith meaning with the year's verified astrology dates, read through whole-sign houses. Tarot does not predict fixed events; use these readings for reflection and planning. How our readings work.
