Spread positions

  1. 1
    The Situation (You)

    Your state and role in the relationship right now: what you feel and what you invest.

  2. 2
    The Obstacle

    What stands between you or keeps feelings from growing — circumstances, fear, things left unsaid.

  3. 3
    Future / Advice

    Where the relationship is heading and what to do so it grows in a healthy way.

How to read the spread

The second card is the key. Swords put the obstacle in thoughts and words; Cups in emotions; Wands in passion or pace; Pentacles in daily life, money or distance.

Read the third card both as a forecast and as advice: it shows the direction the relationship takes if you address the obstacle.

Frequently asked questions

Can the cards reveal another person’s feelings?
Tarot shows the dynamic between you and your perception of it, but it does not read minds. For a look at both partners, try the relationship spread.
How often can I do a love reading?
No more often than the situation changes. Asking the same thing every day makes the cards reflect anxiety rather than the relationship.
