The card of the day is the simplest ritual in tarot: each morning, a single card turns over for you. It does not predict your day, it gives it a colour: an energy to welcome, a pitfall to avoid, an intention to keep in mind until the evening.
On Arkarma, your card of the day is unique and faithful: once drawn, it stays yours until midnight. No need to draw again hoping for better: the tarot is not replayed, it is listened to.

✦ How the cards are shuffled ✦
No lazy random draw: Arkarma shuffles a real deck of 22 arcana the way hands would. Seven riffle shuffles broken up by cuts, some of which turn part of the pack over: that is how reversed cards are born, in clusters, as on a real table. Your question and your day enter the shuffle: ask the same question on the same day and the deck will be shuffled exactly the same way. Only your hand, by choosing other cards, can change the answer.
The deck then spreads before you and it is your hand that chooses: the intention, the moment and the gesture. The reading that follows takes up your question word for word and answers you as a reader would, card after card.
