A command line tarot reader.

Project description

Command Line Tarot

This project is meant to be a nerdy convenient way to get a tarot reading via the command line interface!


🚧 This Package is Under Construction 🚧

This is a beta/test version 0.1.1 of the Command Line Tarot CLI tool!

Currently missing most card interpretations. However, the ASCII art is fully accessible and complete.


Instructions for Installing from PyPI

Create and activate a virtual environment or a conda env that has Python 3.9, then run the following:

$ pip install cli-tarot

To ensure that the package is properly installed, run:

$ cli-tarot --help

Basic Commands

Single Card Readings

To do a basic single-card reading, type in the following command:

$ python3 -m cli_tarot

Sample output from the above:

 Your single card drawing is:     (26) Five of Wands

Querying the Meanings (and/or Artwork) of Specific Cards Via Index Number

If you forgot to pass in the -i / --interpretation flag even though you wanted to know the meaning of the card, that's ok; that's what the -cm / --card_meaning flag is for! The number listed before the card name (in the case of the example above, 26) is the index number for the card; pass that in after invoking the Card Meaning functionality, like the command below:

$ python3 -m cli_tarot -cm 26

...looking up meaning for:

    (26) Five of Wands


    How to interpret the Five of Wands:

    [ meaning ]

If you'd also like to see the ASCII art for a specific card along with its meaning, add the -a flag like so:

$ python3 -m cli_tarot -cm 26 -a

Displaying card art for:

    (26) Five of Wands

    How to interpret the Five of Wands:

    [ meaning ]

Output Readings to a File

In order to output/save any particular readings, invoke the -o/--output flag. Certain features such as "card meaning" do not have file output as an option, but this is a useful option for longer free-draw readings and multi-card readings such as the Celtic Cross.

When using the -o / --output option, there will be a new file created and saved into the current working directory. The name of the file will consist of the reading type + datetime (e.g., Seen_Heard_Held_Interpreted_20220319-123727.txt, Free_Draw_Art_and_Interpretation_20220319-123929.txt).
