GET/tarot/cards/{id}

Get detailed tarot card information

Retrieve comprehensive details for a specific tarot card from the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck including complete upright meanings (card drawn normally) and reversed meanings (inverted/upside down interpretations for nuanced guidance). Each card provides keywords for quick reference, full interpretations (400+ words each for upright and reversed orientations), and guidance across life domains: love and relationships, career and professional growth, finances and material success, health and wellbeing, spirituality and personal development. Major Arcana cards (0-21) reveal deep spiritual lessons and life-changing themes. Minor Arcana cards (Ace through King in Cups, Wands, Swords, Pentacles) address practical daily situations and specific challenges. Use card ID in kebab-case format: Major Arcana like "fool", "magician", "death", "tower", or Minor Arcana like "ace-of-cups", "seven-of-wands", "queen-of-swords", "king-of-pentacles". Essential for detailed tarot study, reading interpretations, divination apps, fortune-telling platforms, spiritual guidance tools, and professional tarot learning applications.
