You're not alone

Choose whatever helps right now.

If a life is in danger

Call the local emergency number, or ask someone nearby to call. If you have already hurt yourself or taken something dangerous, call now, even if you feel all right.

Where are you right now?

Help numbers depend on the country you're in, not on the site's language. We never ask for access to your location.

What you can do right now

  • If anything nearby could be used to hurt yourself, put it out of reach or ask someone to stay with you.
  • Message someone you trust: “I’m having a hard time. Can you be with me?”
  • You don't have to solve everything now. Getting through the next few minutes is enough.

Talk to a person

If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or of not wanting to live, call a support line. They will listen without judgment. You can also call when things simply feel too heavy.

Choose your country above to see its support lines. Lines in many countries are also listed in the Find A Helpline directory.

SV.LIFE Tarot · 22 cards

The Major Arcana

Twenty-two images of the classic deck: what each one highlights, what it offers to lean on and which questions it leaves with you.

By Tarot tradition: a mirror, not a verdict

Twenty-two arcana

From the Fool taking a first step to the World, where the circle closes.

Five cards with heavy imagery lie face down here: the image opens on the card's own page.

How to read these pages

These are the same texts that open in the SV.LIFE spreads. The cards do not know the future and decide nothing for you: by Tarot tradition, an image works as a mirror that makes it easier to notice your feelings, your sources of support and what you want to think about.

Read slowly and take only what resonates. Five cards carry heavy imagery: here they lie face down. On such a card's page, a line on how to come back to your breath comes before the image, and the picture itself can be hidden.

Spreads

Four ways to look into the mirror: from one card for the day to a quiet spread for anxious moments.

Only calmer cards land in the first and third places.

Card of the day

Every day one card is shared by everyone. Open it and see what this image highlights in you.

Open the card of the day

The cards are a prompt to pause and listen to yourself. In the tarot tradition, for reflection: the cards do not know the future and decide nothing for you. The texts are for reflection and entertainment and are no substitute for advice from a doctor, psychologist, lawyer or financial professional.
