Disclaimer
Tao Arcana is a place for reflection. The tarot draws, I Ching casts, card meanings, hexagram texts, and articles on this site are offered for insight, contemplation, and entertainment. They are a way to think about a question, not an answer handed down from anywhere with authority over your life.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site is professional advice. The readings and content are not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified professional, and in particular they are not medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. A card or hexagram cannot diagnose a condition, treat distress, settle a legal matter, or tell you what to do with your money.
If you have a question about your health, your mental wellbeing, your legal situation, or your finances, please consult a licensed doctor, therapist, lawyer, accountant, or other suitable expert. They can look at your actual circumstances, which a divination tool cannot.
No predictions, no guarantees
We do not predict the future, and we do not guarantee any outcome. A reading describes a way of seeing a moment; it does not tell you what will happen, and it cannot promise that anything will or will not come to pass. The interpretations we publish are one reading among many possible ones, drawn from long traditions rather than from any special knowledge of your life.
The tools draw cards and cast hexagrams at random. Two people asking the same question, or the same person asking twice, may see completely different results. Treat what comes up as a prompt for your own thinking, not as a fact about the world.
Your decisions are your own
You are responsible for the choices you make. Whatever you take from a reading, the decision to act on it, ignore it, or set it aside is yours, and so are the consequences. We are not liable for any loss, harm, or disappointment that follows from how a reading is used or understood. Please use your own judgment, and where the stakes are real, get proper advice first.
If you are in crisis
A reading is not help in an emergency. If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself, or worried about someone else, please reach out to a local emergency service, a crisis line, or a qualified professional right away. Real support from real people matters far more than anything a card or hexagram can offer, and it is always the right call.
By using Tao Arcana, you agree that you understand these points and that you are using the site in the spirit it is meant: as a mirror for reflection, and nothing more.
