The Spanish tarot relies on the baraja española, the traditional card deck of the Iberian Peninsula. Made up of 40 or 48 cards depending on the region, it has four suits: Oros (coins), Copas (cups), Espadas (swords), and Bastos (clubs). This app lets you draw online using the Spanish and Latin American cartomancy methods, widely used in Argentina, Mexico, and Andalusia. You frame your question, you draw, and you read the cards in their most traditional form, with no needless esoteric detours.
The Spanish tarot is not a tarot in the strict sense (78 cards with arcana) but a cartomancy practiced with the baraja española. This deck, derived from medieval Latin cards, contains 40 cards (Ace to 7, plus Sota, Caballo, Rey) or 48 cards when the 8s and 9s are included. The four suits Oros, Copas, Espadas, Bastos share their symbolic meaning with the suits of the Marseille tarot. Spanish cartomancy developed from the 18th century and remains alive throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The court cards (Sota, Caballo, Rey) represent people in the querent's circle.
The app offers several formats: single card, three-card spread (past-present-future), and the classic five-card Spanish fan. You frame your question, you shuffle, and you draw. Each card appears with its Spanish name (for example "As de Oros", "Caballo de Copas"), its translation, and its interpretation. The reading combines the suit's meaning (Oros for money, Copas for love, Espadas for difficulties, Bastos for work) and the card's rank. The court cards often evoke specific people.
The Spanish tarot is very practical for concrete everyday questions: money, work, love, family. Ask a simple question, in the present. If a court card appears (Sota, Caballo, Rey), ask yourself who in your circle it might stand for: a loved one, a colleague, an expected person. Avoid drawing several times for the same question: trust the first reading. For a daily reading, a single card drawn in the morning is enough to color the day.
The standard baraja has 40 cards: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Sota (Page), Caballo (Knight), Rey (King) for each of the four suits. Some variants add the 8s and 9s, bringing the total to 48 cards. Cartomancy uses either format depending on regional tradition.
The Marseille tarot has 78 cards, including 22 major arcana, and includes a Queen absent from the Spanish baraja. The Spanish tarot has 40 or 48 cards, no major arcana, and its court cards are Sota, Caballo, Rey. The suits match up: Wands-Bastos, Cups-Copas, Swords-Espadas, Coins-Oros.
The As de Oros (Ace of Coins) is one of the deck's most favorable cards. It evokes a new material start: incoming money, professional opportunity, concrete project taking shape, major purchase, regained stability. It is an excellent card to draw for a money or work question.
Yes, especially through the Copas (Cups) suit. The As de Copas evokes a budding love, the 2 de Copas a shared bond, the Rey de Copas a loving and faithful man. For a pure love question, you can also use the Love Tarot, more specialized.
