Tarot Isn’t Memorization
Tarot is not a formula to solve. It’s a language of the soul. And that’s where ChatGPT, for all its brilliance, still can’t reach.
In a world where artificial intelligence can write essays, build websites, and even generate tarot spreads in seconds, a new question keeps coming up:
✨ Can ChatGPT actually do tarot readings?
✨ Can it truly channel divine messages?
✨ And what about astrology — can it read charts?
The answer? It’s layered.
Tarot Isn’t About Memorization
There’s a common myth that tarot is about learning what each card means — like memorizing formulas in math or facts in history.
And yes, tarot is rich in symbolism, and learning the traditional meanings is part of the path.
But if tarot were only about definitions, then a computer could read your cards just fine.
It’s not.
Tarot is about energy.
It’s about what’s not in the guidebook.
It’s about what you feel when a card lands, what you hear in the silence between words, and what your intuition whispers that the mind doesn’t yet understand.

What ChatGPT Can Do (with Tarot)
ChatGPT is like a helpful reference book — always ready with facts, meanings, and structure.
I’ve asked ChatGPT about cards like The Empress, just to see what comes through — and yes, the response can be beautiful.
But it’s not personal.
It’s not alive.
👉 What ChatGPT offers is information.
👉 What a human channel offers is presence.
A Personal Example
Once, I pulled the South Node card in a deep reading. Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT what it meant.
Its response:
“The South Node represents the past, karma, and what needs to be released.”
Accurate? Sure.
But it didn’t hit my soul.
Because what I had channeled in that moment was:
“Something from your past is returning — not to be released, but to be rebuilt. What you once lost is coming back. This time, it’s meant to stay.”
Same card. Entirely different message.
One was a description.
The other was divine timing.
Can ChatGPT Do Astrology?
Now let’s talk about astrology.
Astrology has a stronger foundation in math and astronomy than tarot does. Planetary degrees, aspects, houses — all of it can be calculated precisely.
This means AI can:
- Generate natal charts, transits, progressions.
- List planetary positions and aspects instantly.
- Provide “textbook” interpretations, like “Sun in Leo in the 10th house indicates…”
But astrology is not just math.
It’s about the weaving of energy.
It’s about the soul of the chart — why two people with the same placements can live completely different lives.
It’s about intuition, timing, and resonance.
AI can give you the map.
But only a human astrologer can guide the journey.
What Channeling Truly Is
Channeling isn’t just reading cards or calculating charts.
It’s when something beyond you begins to move through you — for someone else.
You don’t just speak the message. You feel it. You know it. Sometimes, it even shakes you.
AI doesn’t channel.
It doesn’t feel your energy.
It doesn’t notice when your voice cracks or your hand trembles.
It doesn’t recognize when the same card jumps three times because Spirit needs you to pay attention.
That’s the difference between information and intuition.
Spirituality: The One Thing AI Can’t Touch
Here’s the core truth: AI cannot be spiritual.
Spirituality is connection — sometimes divine, sometimes distorted.
Even humans must discern: “Is this message from Spirit, or from ego? Is this divine guidance, or a false voice?”
So even if one day AI becomes “sentient,” that still doesn’t mean it’s connected to Spirit. It could be channeling divine light… or negative forces. There would be no guarantee.
That’s why spirituality will always remain a human, soul-based practice — because it requires discernment, humility, energy attunement, and a relationship with the unseen.
So… Can ChatGPT Do Tarot or Astrology?
Yes — ChatGPT can imitate a tarot reading. It can calculate astrology charts. It can support your study.
But it cannot replace your channel.
Because tarot and astrology aren’t just about “getting it right.” They’re about resonance.
And resonance comes from presence, spirit, energy — and soul.
So no, ChatGPT cannot truly do tarot or astrology.
But what it can do is remind us how sacred, how human, and how beautifully mysterious true channeling really is.

No Matter the Deck: It’s About Spirit, Not Fear
No Matter the Deck: It’s About Spirit, Not Fear
Whether you’re reading from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, the Thoth Tarot deck, or even a modern artistic version, the truth is the same: a tarot deck is simply a tool.
Some still ask: “Are tarot cards evil?” The answer is no.
A tarot card is paper and ink — nothing more. The power comes from the channel of the reader, the energy of the moment, and the intention set in spiritual wellness.
It’s the same with astrology. A birth chart is a map of the skies. Planets aren’t evil or good — they simply reflect cycles, patterns, and possibilities. It’s the interpretation, the presence, and the soul wisdom of the astrologer that transforms those symbols into guidance.
One person may use the Rider-Waite deck to comfort a grieving friend. Another may use the Thoth Tarot deck to spark deep self-reflection. An astrologer may use planetary alignments to help someone understand their timing in life.
The deck doesn’t create the message. The planets don’t decide your destiny.
Spirit does.
And that’s exactly why AI can’t replace us. Because the soul of tarot and astrology has never lived in the cards or the charts themselves. It has always lived in the space between the symbol and the one who is called to interpret it.

Final Reflection 💛
Have you ever pulled a card — or looked at your chart — and received a meaning that had nothing to do with the guidebook or the standard interpretation?
That’s your soul speaking.

10 FAQs About ChatGPT, Tarot, Astrology, and Spiritual Wellness
1. Can ChatGPT really do tarot readings?
ChatGPT can provide card meanings and structured spreads, but it cannot channel energy, intuition, or divine presence. True tarot reading requires resonance and spirit.
2. Are tarot cards evil?
No. Tarot cards are simply symbolic tools, like the Rider-Waite Tarot deck or the Thoth Tarot deck. Their power depends on the reader’s intention and spiritual wellness.
3. Can AI generate astrology charts?
Yes — AI can accurately calculate natal charts, transits, and aspects. But interpreting the soul lessons behind the placements is where human astrologers shine.
4. Which tarot deck is best for beginners?
The Rider-Waite Tarot deck is the most beginner-friendly. The Thoth Tarot deck is more advanced and symbolic, offering deeper esoteric insights.
5. How is tarot different from astrology?
Tarot connects to intuitive channeling in the present moment, while astrology maps planetary cycles over time. Both are tools for guidance, but neither is ruled by AI.
6. Can ChatGPT replace a human astrologer or tarot reader?
No. AI can imitate readings, but it cannot feel energy, channel presence, or provide soul resonance the way a human guide can.
7. Is using AI for tarot or astrology wrong spiritually?
Not at all. AI can be a supportive tool for learning and structure, but it should never be mistaken for true channeling or divine guidance.
8. What role does spiritual wellness play in tarot and astrology?
Spiritual wellness ensures the reader is aligned, grounded, and clear. This alignment determines the quality and purity of the message received.
9. Can AI ever become spiritual in the future?
Even if AI becomes “sentient,” there’s no guarantee it would connect with divine light. Spirituality requires discernment — some channels uplift, others mislead.
10. How do I know if a tarot or astrology message is true?
Trust resonance. If a message feels alive, brings clarity, or stirs deep recognition, it’s aligned with spirit. If it feels flat or generic, it may just be information.
