Twelve concise answers about how Vaticinator works, what the cards mean, and how to read responsibly.
Is the card shuffling process mathematically truly random?
Yes — 100% cryptographically random. Vaticinator uses the Web Crypto API (CSPRNG) with hardware entropy and 7 rounds of Fisher-Yates shuffling, so every draw is tamper-proof and unpredictable.
Do reversed cards always mean bad luck?
No. In the modern depth-psychology tarot tradition, reversed cards signal internalized energy, an unconscious aspect, or an invitation to patient self-reflection.
Are my questions stored on your servers?
Never. Vaticinator follows a strict Zero-Log architecture. Your questions and notes stay exclusively in your local browser storage.
How are credit points consumed?
Points are consumed only for deep AI analyses (1 point per reading) and never expire. There are no automatic subscriptions.
How does the deeply customized large model ensure reading quality and security?
The platform combines domain-adapted fine-tuned large models with proprietary multi-card synergy matrices and zero-log privacy guarantees, delivering accurate, non-fatalistic psychological analysis.
Is this a superstitious fortune-telling tool?
No. Vaticinator is an instrument for cognitive self-reflection and decision-making that fosters inner clarity instead of fatalistic predictions.
Which AI models are used for synthesis?
We use leading models from Google Gemini and OpenAI, structured through 1909 RWS iconography and depth-psychology principles.
How can I request a refund?
Unused credit packages are 100% refundable within 14 days of purchase (processed in 24–72h via our ticket system).
How many cards does the deck contain?
A complete 78-card deck: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana following the classic 1909 Waite-Smith canon.
Can I draw a free card every day?
Yes. Every visitor can draw a free daily meditation card and earn free bonus points.
Can I save or share my results?
Yes. You can export high-resolution parchment posters or copy structured text summaries.
What happens if I clear my browser cache?
Because we work locally, local notes are deleted when the cache is cleared. We recommend exporting important readings first.
Which reading is best for relationship questions?
Use the 5-card Love & Connection spread: it maps your inner state, your partner’s perspective, interaction patterns, shadow blocks, and the relationship trajectory — free, with upright and reversed meanings.
Is there a personality test?
Yes. Draw a daily archetype card and explore the 16 court-card personalities (Pages, Knights, Queens, Kings) in the Academy — a Jungian mirror of your character strengths and blind spots.
Can tarot analyze how an event will unfold?
Yes. The Situation & Advice and Trinity of Time spreads trace causes, present dynamics, obstacles, and likely outcomes, ending with concrete action counsel.
Does Vaticinator offer fortune analysis?
Yes. Daily single-card draws plus Past-Present-Future timelines give structured fortune insight — reflective guidance, never fatalistic prediction.
