The daily pull, a card page and the spreads with the moon, filmed in the real template.
What it does that most tarot templates don’t
We read the reviews of 20 tarot templates in Notion. Most buyers are still learning the cards, and what they praise is having the meaning right in front of them. The one complaint is too much going on. This one keeps it to three lists and one button for your daily pull.
-
Pull today’s card
One click opens a new reading with today’s date and moon phase. Pick the card you drew and answer a few short questions.
-
All 78 cards explained
Upright and reversed keywords and a short meaning on every card, in plain words, plus My meaning for what a card means to you.
-
Looking back
A few days later, mark a reading Spot on, Partly, Not yet or Missed. It’s how you learn what the cards mean for you.
-
Your patterns
The cards that keep showing up in your readings, most pulled first, and a view by suit.
We set it up from a fresh copy, the way you’ll get it: pulled a card, picked The Fool and saw its picture on the reading, cleared the samples and checked that our reading stayed and The Fool showed up in Your patterns.
What’s inside
The main page has Pull today’s card, Today’s card, Recent readings with a calendar, Your patterns, the spreads and the card library. Every reading, card and spread has its own page.
Card pages
Keywords for upright and reversed, a short meaning, the element and how many times it came up. Add your own meaning and a photo from your deck.
Spreads
Eight of them, from one card to the Celtic Cross, each on its own page that explains every position.
Your patterns
Your most pulled cards with a count on each, and the same cards grouped by suit. Sample readings stop counting once you clear them.
Week ahead
A seven card spread with a card for each day and a line about it. New Moon intentions and Full Moon release work the same way.

Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You’re learning tarot and want each card’s meaning in front of you.
- You pull a card most days and want to write about it.
- You want to see which cards keep coming up for you.
- You read with a tarot deck, an oracle deck or no deck at all.
Look elsewhere if
- You want an app that shuffles and deals whole spreads. Today’s card changes once a day, and for readings you draw from your own deck.
- You read for paying clients and need bookings. This is a personal journal.
- You want another deck’s pictures built in. The cards show the 1909 art, and you can add photos of your own deck.
Questions
Does it work on the free Notion plan?
Yes, all of it. Photos of your own cards can be up to 5 MB each there, and phone photos are usually smaller.
Do I need a tarot deck?
No. Today’s card on the main page changes every day, and every card has its picture and meaning. With a deck of your own, pick the cards you draw.
Can I use oracle cards?
Yes. Set Deck to Oracle deck on the reading and write the card names on the page.
Is this fortune telling?
It’s a journal for reflection. It doesn’t predict anything, and it isn’t medical, financial or legal advice.
Where are the card pictures from?
They come from the 1909 deck drawn by Pamela Colman Smith, now in the public domain. We wrote the meanings ourselves, in plain words.
Where does the template go after I pay?
You download a Start here PDF from Etsy with the template link. Open the link and click the Duplicate icon at the top of the page, and the copy is yours to keep and change.

- Moon
- Works out the moon phase for the reading’s day by itself, in eight phases from New Moon to Waning Crescent.
- Times pulled
- Counts the readings each card appears in, leaving out the samples once you clear them.
- Clear sample data
- Hides the sample readings. Your own readings, the 78 cards and the 8 spreads stay.
