Card-Carrying Monkeys You stare at your computer screen all day, as if it were a crystal ball. Why not get your fotune told while you're at it?

You can choose from 8 different decks and 7 different spreads. Or get a simple 3-card spread here. Visit the Tarot Museaum to see some cool decks. Japanophiles might enjoy The Manga Tarot. Then there's The Star Wars Tarot, The Star Trek Tarot, and my personal favorite, The Hello Kitty Tarot. Some cards even have monkeys on them! Sock monkeys, too!

  • Thanks for the nice distraction TUM!
  • Didn't give me the future I wanted, but, yeah, thanks TUM!
  • The cards think I'm a Republican congressman.
    Knight of Pentacles in the Past position. A card in the left position indicates what has happened to affect your question in the past. Hardworking young man with a traditional, orthodox outlook. Utility. An honest, responsible person. Solid progress. Methodical approach to large goals. Financial consultant. Commitment, perseverance, and stamina. A dependable man, if considered a little dull. ---------- The Tower in the Present position. A card in the middle position indicates what is affecting your question at this time. Destruction. Major change. Unheeded warnings. Greed, pride, arrogance. Revolution. Breakdown or breakthrough‹ the positive or negative implications of the card depend on the querent¹s position. If one has been living under oppression, dramatic and possible traumatic change will be freedom, but if one has been living the high life off the toil of others, expect reversal of fortune and loss. Irrepressible tantrum of change. Eruption. Triumph over enslaving, compulsive behaviours such as addiction or obsessive complexes. Collapse of the old system or lifestyle. Destruction of gains made by ill means. Clearing of the air. Cleansing destruction. Change of values. ------ The Star - Reversed in the Future position. A card in the right position indicates your questions future. Resignation. Depression. No hope or energy. Allowing others to dictate one¹s life. Not listening to inner voice. Avoiding the quiet, dark time and so missing out on its wisdom. Consulting others when a creative solution lies deep inside one¹s own mind.
  • I like the tarot packs. I owned a couple in my feckless youth, but I only used them a few times before I was put off forever by getting a really depressing reading for myself about losing my job, which almost immediately came true.
  • Yeah, I asked the Tarot "will I ever find my true love?" and got a really depressing forecast. Thanks a lot, universe!
  • Monkeyfilter: Thanks a lot, universe!
  • Sweet! It totally told me I'm gonna get laid. *sits up straight, brushes crumbs off shirt*
  • You might wanna change your socks while you're at it, petekins. And plaster down that rebellious cowlick.
  • I should change. I should stay put, let things unfold. I should make the decision now, in two days, or two months. Mmh. *looks around confused*
  • *looks at Flagpole's cards* Let's see you've got a six and a three there, and a ten . . a king of diamonds and a jack. Well, if it were me? I'd bet everything. But that's me, y'know, Mr. Vegas! heh heh. G'wan! Do it! Bet it all! That's the way! Yes!
  • Damn, TUM! I've been saving up links for a Tarot FPP. Silly of me not to post earlier, eh what? Some of my favourites: The Eighties Tarot Victoria Regina Tarot Myself, I use the good old Rider-Waite: not the fancy re-coloured version shown in the link, but the old version with no shading where everyone's face is orange. Because that's how old-school I am.
  • Hmm. That 80s Tarot may have to replace my Tarot Asterix.
  • I have been using Tarot since I was about 10. I use the Aquarian deck.
  • If it's any consolation, Pallas, your links totally kick my links' asses!
  • Fun site. My reading was surprisingly accurate as for the past and present. My favorite deck is the Haindl Tarot Deck. The imagery is pretty awesome and ties in a number of different spiritualities.
  • You buncha godless pagans.
  • Nonsense, TUM, my links love your links. They think the Tarot Card Museum is particularly fine.
  • I still like Morgan's Tarot.
  • This is my primary pack, because I love the Greco-Roman myths. Because my hands are too small to comfortably handle large tarot cards though, I find it easier to use a miniature version of this lovely Art Nouveau style tarot pack.
  • Ooooh, Prometheus as the Hanged Man! Me likey!
  • GODDAMN FUCKING CARDS DON'T KOW FUCKING SHIT!!!!!! (Hopes the fates didn't hear that.) (Yes, they spoke to me. No, I'm not telling. Nor am I listening.)
  • Dave's not here, man.
  • Accurate. Ohhh. The healer woman, the powerful man, all is there! So, I am going to get laid, but don't know if I am going to be top or bottom.
  • Do you know if it will be hetero or homo? This is important information.
  • Or interspecial. A furry, perhaps.
  • I'll bet Camilo will be under and in. Under the bed. In his dreams.
  • Skrik might be onto something here, with BlueHorse being equine and all. But I rather not be the bottom in that equation.
  • Glorious.
  • Lots of kitties in there. I approve.
  • What? The Fool isn't Mr. Toad?
  • Oo pretty. I love the Ace of Cups.
