Using the Noticing Tool
This is a members' feature. Join Simply Tarot to use it.
Same tool, but as a member it's yours to use as often as you like, and everything you do saves.
- Open it from Journal → The Noticing Tool.
- Pick a card, or press Surprise me. If you've added photos of your own decks, you can use one of those instead of Rider-Waite-Smith.
- Look first. Tap what you notice on the card, say what you think it means, then see the symbolism and keywords next to what you said.
- It all saves into your journal, card by card, building your own book of meanings over time.
That's the difference from the free version: your own decks, no re-entering your details every time, and nothing disappears when you close the tab. What you notice today is still there next month, sitting with your reflections on that card.
Starting from a card you're already on. Open any card in your journal, go to the Symbolism tab, and press Do a noticing on this card. That drops you straight in on that card, in the deck you were looking at, with no start screen.
Which deck it deals from. If you've photographed more than one deck, the tool asks before it deals. Your default comes from Noticing Tool deck in Settings, which follows your main tarot deck until you change it. If the deck you picked hasn't got a photo of the card that comes up, the tool says so and uses Rider-Waite-Smith instead.
Oracle cards. They work too, by name rather than picture, and your noticings save onto that card in your journal. There's no traditional symbolism or keywords waiting at the end, so it finishes on your own read.
Start again sits on every step. It walks out without saving.
Your journal home is in Using your journal.
