Non-binary & Gender-Inclusive Tarot Decks

Non-binary &
Gender-Inclusive Tarot Decks

Gender-inclusive tarot decks treat a range of identities and gender expressions as part of the art. This guide stays with what our two studio decks actually show—and how non-binary, trans, and allied readers can use them without inventing a new system.

What “gender-inclusive” means at this table

Non-binary and trans readers often arrive at tarot with the same skill as anyone else and a quieter extra task: recasting the people on the cards. Kings default to men. Queens default to women. The Magician, the Empress, the Lovers, the courts—all of it can work, and still feel like a costume you did not choose.

A gender-inclusive deck does not throw away those archetypes. It draws them with a wider cast. Rosario’s New Voice copy is explicit: figures reflecting a range of identities, genders, abilities, and ethnicities, in a tone that aims to feel more open-hearted than a sombre Rider–Waite default. The Marseille copy is explicit in a different way: traditional symbols stay; characters and scenes take a contemporary, queer-inspired turn.

This page does not invent card-by-card gender labels. We do not publish a list that says “this Empress is non-binary” or “this King is a trans man.” What we can say, because it is in the studio text, is that diverse gender expression is a design goal of both decks, and that trans readers are named among the people the art is meant to welcome. That is the honest brief.

How to judge a deck

Gender on the cards, not only in the booklet
Gender-inclusive tarot starts in the drawings. Look for a range of identities, genders, bodies, and presentations in the Majors, courts, and everyday scenes—not a single androgynous figure asked to stand in for everyone else.
Courts you can actually sit with
Traditional courts (King, Queen, Knight, Page—or TdM equivalents) can feel gendered in a way that does not match how you live. Inclusive decks keep the roles and meanings, and change who is allowed to hold them. You should not have to mentally recast every court before the reading can begin.
A guidebook written for these images
When the art moves, the book has to move with it. A foldout of generic keywords will fight a gender-inclusive deck. Prefer a full-colour guidebook that talks about the figures you are actually holding.

TdM · queer-inspired courts and majors

New Choice Tarot de Marseille

Traditional TdM symbolism is preserved while characters and scenes are reimagined with modern, urban, and queer-inspired aesthetics. The court and major-arcana world-building leans on fashion and the feeling of a night out—music lovers, artists, and misfit kings in the looks they love. 78 gilded cards, 70 × 120 mm, 80-page guidebook, third edition of 500 numbered copies.

Best for: Readers who want gender-inclusive energy inside classical Marseille structure, not a new esoteric system.

Reading with courts when gender is not the point

You do not have to discard King/Queen language to read as a non-binary person. Many readers keep the traditional titles as job descriptions—authority, nurture, movement, study—and let the picture tell them who is in the role. That is easier when the drawing already shows a range of presentations. The New Voice Tarot is built for that glance: scene first, keyword second, as the New Voice reading guide describes.

Tarot de Marseille asks a slightly different skill. Pip Minors speak through number, suit, and, in this edition, flower language. Gender shows up more in the courts and trumps than in a Three of Coins. If that is your lineage, the 80-page booklet and the TdM flower language guide are the tools; you are not required to map every pip card onto a binary court.

Gifts: if you are buying for a non-binary or trans reader, look at the card imagery on each product page before you check out. The decks are intended for adult readers and celebrate diverse identities and contemporary life. We do not claim they will match every person’s gender; we claim the art was drawn so that matching is possible.

FAQ

What is a gender-inclusive tarot deck?

A gender-inclusive tarot deck draws a range of identities, genders, bodies, and presentations into the Majors, courts, and everyday cards—so non-binary, trans, and allied readers are not recasting every figure. The New Voice Tarot and New Choice Tarot de Marseille are the two studio decks we sell with that art direction.

Do you have a non-binary tarot deck?

We do not sell a separate non-binary-only product, and we do not publish invented gender labels for each card. Both signature decks are designed with a range of identities and genders in the figures. Shop The New Voice Tarot for RWS scenes or New Choice Tarot de Marseille for classical TdM structure.

Do I have to drop King and Queen titles?

No. Many readers keep court titles as roles—authority, nurture, movement, study—and let the drawing show who holds the role. Inclusive art makes that easier. The systems stay Rider–Waite–Smith or Tarot de Marseille.

Which deck is better for a non-binary beginner?

The New Voice Tarot is usually easier to start with because every Minor shows a scene and the 120-page guidebook matches those pictures. New Choice Tarot de Marseille suits readers who want pip cards, flower language, and an 80-page TdM booklet.
