I Had AI Predict Your Future with Tarot Cards

We’re in a robot uprising! Or at least that’s how it feels for some workers because of automation. As a professional tarot reader, I wanted to see how good AI was at giving a reading.

All you have to do is scroll down to your zodiac sign or choose below.

Here I’m using the Mystic Mondays Tarot deck (this is an affiliate link that supports me if you make a purchase). All I did in this tarot reading is shuffle the cards according to the zodiac signs and then let Canva’s Magic Write do the work… with some commentary afterward!

Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading. And who knows: maybe the robots are lying to you because it’s part of a nefarious mechanical plot.

Now let’s find out what AI thinks is going to happen to you in the future.

Pile 1: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn

What AI Has to Say

The tarot reading that you have requested for your future involves the Eight of Pentacles Reversed, King of Wands Reversed, and Nine of Cups. This reading is meant to provide you with insight into the upcoming weeks and months, and the tarot cards suggest a few key themes.

The Eight of Pentacles Reversed suggests that you may be feeling a sense of stagnation and a lack of progress in your current endeavors. This means that you may need to rethink your approach and make some changes in order to move forward. You may need to take a step back from your current course of action and examine what isn’t working and what needs to change in order to get the results you desire.

The King of Wands Reversed can represent a lack of confidence in yourself and your abilities. You may be feeling overwhelmed and uncertain as you face a difficult situation. It’s likely that you need to take time to reflect on what you are capable of and to draw on your inner strength to get through this time.

The Nine of Cups suggests that you may be able to find joy and satisfaction in the near future. This card indicates that you may be able to reach a state of contentment and satisfaction with your current situation, even if it is still challenging. You may also find that you have the support of family and friends who can help you to feel secure and safe.

Overall, this tarot reading suggests that although you may be facing some challenges in the near future, you are well-equipped to handle them. You may need to take a step back and reassess your current situation, but if you do, you can use your inner strength and the support of those around you to help you find joy and satisfaction in your life.

What a Professional Tarot Reader Thinks

I think AI did a solid reading here. It implies that despite feeling low and unsuccessful, you’ll be happy and for very clear reasons: you’re going to analyze the situation and rely upon others which will help you overcome your obstacles.

As I look at these cards, I would have been drawn to a focus on career because of the first card, your life purpose because of the second, and your dreams for the future because of the third. But it’s pretty general about life projects instead of something that ignites the fire within you.

I should note that the King of Wands is a clear symbol of the cardinal signs in this spread. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. You’re supposed to initiate in life, but this spread does seem to indicate that the coming weeks and months may be difficult on that front.

AI seems in this spread that life happens to you rather than you living life. But perhaps that’s why the King of Wands is reversed here: you don’t have the will you’re used to having.

I would personally also see this spread as a possible indication that you’re burnt out at work or that you need to play more. Either way, you need to spend more of your energy right now on things that make you happy to increase your inner fire. That inner fire is what will motivate you for the bigger things in life too.

I loved reading for you! If it resonated, let me know. You can also leave a tip on ko-fi or book a private text reading and get 10% off until December 31 on my Etsy. It’s your last chance. After that, I’ll never offer them again!

Pile 2: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius

What AI Has to Say

The tarot reading for your future reveals three cards: The Chariot Reversed, the Two of Pentacles, and the Ace of Swords Reversed.

The reversed Chariot suggests that you may be feeling restricted in some way. Perhaps you feel stuck in a certain situation and unable to move forward. Now is the time to take control of the reigns of your life and be the master of your own destiny.

The Two of Pentacles is a card of balance and duality. It is a reminder that you will need to make compromises and decisions in order to achieve balance and harmony. You may have to juggle multiple responsibilities in order to achieve your goals, but with focus and determination, you will be able to find a way to make it all work.

The reversed Ace of Swords suggests that you may be experiencing difficulty in making decisions and expressing yourself. You may be feeling mentally blocked and unable to make clear decisions. This card encourages you to take a step back and look at your situation objectively. With clear thought and logical thinking, you can find the answers you seek.

Overall, this tarot reading suggests that you will need to take control of your life and make compromises in order to find balance. You may find yourself feeling mentally blocked, so it is important to take a step back and look at the situation objectively. With focus, determination and clear thought, you can make the decisions you need to help you move forward.

What a Professional Tarot Reader Thinks

It took me multiple tries to get a long reading with this card combination and it seemed as if AI had trouble putting the pieces together into one whole.

Overall I think AI got the individual meanings right, but couldn’t find the central theme of the spread. I think this makes sense as even normal tarot readers may focus on one card and not think of relational meanings between them.

It’s really difficult for the second card to connect with the first and third. Tangentially it connects, but AI’s interpretation leaves something to be desired.

If I was reading this spread, I would want the person to know that they’re stuck and unable to move forward because they have more than one possible option – and both are good! They’re having decision paralysis and don’t know which one is best. Spoiler: you could flip a coin and the result would be the same because they have almost equal value.

The problem with AI’s reading is that you may feel encouraged to abandon perfectly good projects permanently. I think AI is right that you need to be more balanced, but it seems to be implied that you’re making the wrong decisions right now.

Instead, I would want you to know that you’re doing most things right… but you need to do one project at a time before moving on to the next. It doesn’t matter which one you should choose, so if you can’t decide, flip a coin.

I think that focusing on one project will help you think more clearly. It’s not that you can’t do everything you’re doing right now, but it’s getting harder and harder for you to see the big picture. You see the trees, but not the forest. And you’re trying to pick your favorite tree when every tree is meant to be there.

Pile 3: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces

What AI Has to Say

The tarot reading for your future begins with the Page of Swords (Princess of Swords in this spread). This card symbolizes the need to make a tough decision, and it can indicate that a challenge or difficult situation is coming soon. You may feel overwhelmed by the situation, but this card encourages you to think clearly and carefully about your options and make a wise choice.

The next card in the reading is the Six of Swords Reversed. This card is a warning that you may be heading in the wrong direction. It suggests that you are either making poor choices or have taken an ill-advised path. You may be avoiding a difficult situation, but in order to move forward, you must face the problem head-on and make the necessary changes.

Finally, the Judgment card indicates a time of inner reflection. This card encourages you to look deeper into your own feelings and come to terms with the situation. It suggests that you must make peace with the situation and accept any consequences that may come your way. This card is a sign that you must take responsibility for your actions and move forward with courage and determination.

To conclude, the tarot reading for your future is a reminder to take a moment to reflect and make wise decisions. You may be presented with a challenge or difficult situation, but it is important to think carefully and face the situation head-on. Once you make peace with the situation and accept the consequences, you will be able to move forward with courage and determination.

What a Professional Tarot Reader Thinks

I think that AI really struggled with the connection between the first and second cards. To put it simply, you’re going to face a difficult challenge in the future, but it’s one you must take on and can succeed in overcoming. You aren’t running away even if you aren’t 100% prepared.

However, AI seems to push you to avoid this challenge and see it as going in the wrong direction. Yes, you must accept what you end up encountering, but it almost seems to admonish you for even trying.

I also think that AI fails to see the universe as work in your life too. As Judgment is upright in your spread, it seems like the challenge will end in your favor and you were always meant to take it on.

One of the other problems with AI is that it only uses common tarot card meanings for its interpretations and can’t analyze individual cards from a variety of decks. This one in particular alters the meaning of the page to princess, giving it a royal flair.

That royalty is also one of inheritance: it’s your privilege and your inherent responsibility to take on this challenge. I can’t help but think of heroic stories which usually feature a character of royal pedigree. They’re usually reluctant, but always victorious.

I also get the sense from your spread that what you’re taking on may be something you aren’t inspired by, but must still accomplish. You may be tempted to let it fail or abandon it for that reason, but this would be a mistake.

You were meant to succeed in your endeavor and it’s going to have positive consequences down the road. If not for you, then someone you care about.
