Kittycorn Tarot: All 78 Card Meanings Explained

Half kitten, half unicorn, entirely magical — the Kittycorn Tarot by Deckstiny takes 78 cards of traditional tarot wisdom and wraps them in rainbow horns and tiny paws. Created by a Thailand-based team of artists including JUJIIR and Petpodpot Pettoonza, this deck reimagines every archetype in the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition through adorable cat-unicorn hybrids navigating the full spectrum of human experience. First released in 2022, it has become a favorite among readers who want their daily pulls served with a side of sparkle.

What sets the Kittycorn Tarot apart from other cute decks is its commitment to genuine RWS structure underneath the whimsy. The compositions mirror classic tarot scenes — you will recognize familiar poses, suit symbols, and narrative arcs — but every figure is a round-eyed kittycorn with expressive ears and a glowing horn. The result is a deck that reads with real depth while making you smile every time you shuffle. Even the deck’s playful renaming of The Hanged Man to “Hanged Meow” signals its philosophy: tarot does not have to be solemn to be serious.

Tips for Reading with the Kittycorn Tarot

Follow the expressions. The kittycorns in this deck are remarkably expressive. Ear position, eye shape, horn glow, and body posture all carry meaning. A kittycorn curled up with closed eyes tells a very different story than one standing tall with a blazing horn. Let the art speak before you reach for a guidebook.

Use any RWS reference. Because the deck follows Rider-Waite-Smith structure so faithfully, any standard tarot book or course works as a companion. The cute imagery actually helps lock in traditional meanings — once you associate The Tower with a startled kittycorn tumbling through the sky, you will never forget what that card means.

Let the lightness lower your guard. Heavy cards like Death, The Devil, and the Ten of Swords can trigger resistance in readers. The Kittycorn Tarot delivers those same messages through soft, approachable art that lets you sit with difficult truths instead of flinching away from them. The wisdom hits harder when you are not bracing for it.

Trust your first reaction. This deck was designed to spark immediate emotional responses. If a card makes you laugh, pause, or feel a pang of recognition before your rational mind catches up — honor that. The kittycorns are doing their job.
