The Arcana Gauge allows astrologians to keep track of which card (arcanum) is currently drawn. An arcanum is drawn by using the action Draw, and is placed in the middle of the gauge. Using the Play command executes the arcanum's corresponding action.

Upon learning the action Divination, the Divination Gauge will be displayed. Depending on your drawn arcanum, a Lunar, Solar, or Celestial seal will be added to the gauge. After acquiring three seals, you can execute Divination.
