Does He Miss Me Tarot Spread? Top Answer Update

See if you’re ready for the next step

Relationships bring us so much joy in life. Who doesn’t love meeting a new person and getting the butterflies? Or being with someone you feel so comfortable and confident with that you don’t understand how you lived without them before?

However, sometimes it can be difficult to understand what is really in our hearts. Of course, science has some answers and gives us an understanding of the chemicals that are released when we’re with someone we really like.

Yet there is a deeper spiritual side to relationships that we sometimes find difficult to understand. But tarot cards are here to help!

In this article I will teach you about the Relationship Tarot Spreads, how to use the cards to guide your heart and what different cards can mean to you!

Read on to discover the magic of the Tarot and what you can learn about your current or potential relationships.

Relationship Tarot Spreads

No matter how secure and comfortable your relationship is, it’s always good to get a second opinion off the cards. Tarot cards can highlight deep feelings and conflicts that you may be suppressing, or they can show you how your partner feels about you.

I recommend checking back with the cards every few weeks for guidance and insight into your relationship. This allows you to deepen the connection with your partner and understand your own emotions and feelings more clearly.

Here are some great relationship spreads that can help you with that.

Separation Tarot Spread

A breakup in a relationship can be a really traumatic time and you may feel like you wasted so much time with that one person! However, everything happens for a reason and there was meaning behind the relationship even if it ended.

When a relationship is over, I think it’s really important to look at what you’ve learned from the relationship and how you can grow from it.

It’s also great to celebrate the good times you had with that person. To do this, it can be helpful to turn to the maps to better understand everything.

This is a three card spread. The first card drawn relates to what went well in the relationship. The second reflects why it didn’t work out and the third relates to what you can learn from the relationship.

interpretation

Let’s say you revealed the Three of Cups for the first card. This card shows that you and your former partner had a lot of fun together! You had good conversations, you may have celebrated a lot and they may have helped you creatively. Sounds funny, but what about the bad in the relationship?

Maybe draw the Seven of Wands. When it comes to love, this card definitely suggests that emotional walls have been erected and there is a lack of commitment from one or more participants.

But everything happens for a reason, and the relationship didn’t work out. So what can one learn from the experience?

Let’s say you draw Temperance. This card relates to harmony and balance. Maybe your relationship was a bit intense, or there was an imbalance of emotions?

This card suggests that you have learned from your partner what you need and what you will look for in your next relationship to keep it harmonious!

5 card compatibility distribution

How this spread? Check out my tarot journal on Etsy

I think everyone who has been in a relationship has had this dreaded question on their minds. The one who asks: “Are we really that compatible?”.

When it comes to finding the perfect partner, you need to be compatible. You must share the same beliefs and goals in life or it will fall apart just as quickly as it started!

Luckily, you can save yourself the heartache and turn to the cards to find out just how compatible you and your partner really are. This five-card spread can be done with new relationships or long-term relationships that may be under some pressure.

The first card drawn relates to your feelings and desires in the relationship, and the second card reflects your partner’s feelings.

This simple five card relationship tarot is a fantastic way to understand you and your partner. Once you have clarity about your compatibility, it’s up to you what to do next.

Tarot Spread for the meaning of relationships

As you saw above, you can create a general relationship tarot or ask specific questions. There are so many things that tarot reading can help with when it comes to relationships. Here are just a few!

You and your partner understand

Because relationships are so important in our lives, they need to be strong. However, conflicts in a relationship are very common. In fact, I think a no-fight relationship is a red flag.

Communication is key within relationships and arguments must occur to enhance the strength and connection of the partnership.

In the face of conflict, we can turn to tarot cards to better understand what is going on in our relationship. We can ask the cards to give us insight into how our partner is feeling and how we are feeling. This means that we can work on building the relationship and overcoming conflicts.

See how strong the relationship is

Do you have doubts about your new relationship? Are you worried that your lover doesn’t like you as much as you like him or her?

A relationship tarot can give us a glimpse of how strong a relationship is, especially a new one that you may not really know if it’s real or not! The cards can give you guidance and tell you where this relationship might be going and if the connection you are feeling is real.

See if you’re ready for the next step

A relationship is defined by milestones. The first date and first kiss can be amazing experiences that create memories that will last forever. Going official is another exciting milestone, and who can forget that first time you say the words “I love you”?!

Some want to move in with their partner or get married quickly, others take it slow. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong with this stuff!

As you ponder the next step in your relationship, asking the tarot cards can really bring insight and understanding. They show you what you want deep down. Follow your intuition and follow the tarot!

Deciding if it’s time to stop

Yes, tarot cards can also answer that question you’ve been avoiding for weeks. Is it time to end the relationship?

Sometimes a relationship just isn’t right, and you might ignore the signs and pretend everything is okay. However, this will only cause greater agony when you break up for good.

Part of me thinks that if you ask the tarot cards if you should leave your partner, you probably already know the answer. However, the tarot cards can help you think clearly and understand the situation better. Only you and the cards really know what’s in your heart!

Discover what’s next for your love life with a relationship tarot spread

A relationship tarot spread allows you to understand what is going on in your love life and what you may need from your partner. It can give you answers to questions you’ve been asking yourself for ages and can give you clarity regarding a breakup!

Tarot cards are an amazing tool and I believe they can really improve a person’s life. It’s not just love and relationships that tarot cards can help with!

Check out my article on three card tarot cards that can help you understand life, career, finances and choices, or my dream interpretation spreads to help you gain useful insight into your dreams. Tarot cards contain the answer and reflect what is deep in your heart.

You have a two-card “Shall I?” Shouldn’t I?’ Tarot Reading with the Major Arcana of the Oxford Tarot (upright cards only).

This is a two card reading using the Major Arcana of the Oxford Tarot with cards only in the upright orientation.

About the Oxford Tarot Deck: The theme of the Oxford Tarot is the beautiful city of Oxford, England and its history.

Shouldn’t I? (What if I don’t?) Should I? (What if I…)

Shouldn’t I? (What if I don’t?) Should I? (What if I…)

Interpretation of the Oxford Tarot “Should I, Shouldn’t I?” Spread:

As the title of this spread suggests, the first card (on the left) relates to the situation when the first option is followed. This is often the positive possibility when the querent is considering doing or not doing something. The second card (on the right) relates to the situation when the second option is followed, which typically consists of not pursuing “Option 1”.

Card 1: What if I…?

There is a need for psychological space, personal space and self-centering.

Traditional tarot decks call this card “The Hermit” and depict an elderly wise man. This is not indicative of a hermit life, but right now it can be helpful to find some time to reflect and retune to the spiritual dimensions of the universe. meditate Enjoy the silence. Go inside. Sometimes it is helpful to withdraw from life temporarily to find your true center.

A break from everyday life may be all that is needed.

Find a way to reconnect with your universe.

Daily meditation is recommended by many authors in the fields of spirituality, spiritual and psychological development, and self-help. Some popular techniques involve quieting the mind by focusing on either a point in space, a single thought, a single thought process (which can be as simple as counting slowly), or a specific mantra. Such techniques are sometimes used for stress relief, psychological development, or other purposes. Finding out more about meditation and meditative approaches could be very helpful right now.

Card 2: What if I don’t…?

The wheel of life keeps turning, for better or for worse: nothing stays the same forever and the future is unstoppable.

Destiny brings you progress and happiness. It is said that you cannot step into the same river twice. Likewise, the seasons continue to change and as each season comes to an end, the next begins. Celebrate the changes around you, but be aware that you may have to make an important decision that will affect the unfolding of your next phase.

Consider all the information you have, both logically and emotionally. Then make your decision with confidence as luck smiles on you – focus on positive outcomes to pull them into the next cycle or phase.

Remember that the tarot is meant to provide useful insight and food for thought, but it cannot predict or control your future. The point of power is always in the present moment. You always have the opportunity to make changes based on thoughts, attitudes and emotions.

We all want to manifest things in our lives. Is this even compatible with tarot readings? Absolutely! Even better, you can use tarot cards to manifest whatever you want. How does it work? It’s really easy.

Tarot is all about energy. Such is the law of attraction and the very principle of manifestation. Tarot does nothing but read your energy and connect with those around you to predict what is being attracted to what is already moving. Some things are so fluid and focused on you that they are inevitable. This is how predictions are brought to us.

But most things can be changed, or at least corrected, after they happen. That’s why I always say that tarot and free will go very well together. Tarot is just your additional guide and helper on the path to what you want.

Whatever you are trying to manifest, be it a person in your life, increased income, or a new job, a tarot card can be associated with your desire. There are two main ways to do this. Use cards that came up in a reading on your manifestation (if you had one) or a card that you feel represents your desire.

Manifesto with a card from a reading

If you’ve had a reading and a card has popped up that represents your wish or gives you good news, then this is the one. For example, let’s say you want your ex back and you got the cards asking if he would come back. The sun was your answer. Fine, the cards say yes, he will. This is the card you will use to meditate and focus your energy on. This map will help you set your vibrations right where they should be. (Scroll down to learn how).

It’s perfectly fine to use two cards if you get a better connection that way. For example if you asked for a new job and the cards said you would get it through someone with an association like the Empress and the 8 of Coins. These are your cards.

Manifest with a card of your choice

If you have not used tarot to read about your desire and have decided to manifest without asking for predictions, then you need to choose a card. This is perfectly fine and can help you avoid anxiety if the cards have something negative to say.

Ask yourself which card

best represents what you are shooting for. A few associations could be the side of coins when trying to manifest money, the Emperor when manifesting a new man in your life, the Two of Cups when manifesting love in general, the Sun for a reconciliation or judgement for a message. You get the gist.

Most cards have their associations by default (zodiac signs, locations, professions, etc.), but it’s important that you relate to them at a deeper level. It has to make sense to you. Feel free to be creative. One way to do this is to lay your cards face up on the table and focus on your desire. See which card is calling you. It may not be the one you are told to select in your tarot book. But it’s the right thing.

How to use a tarot card in your manifestation process

Using the Law of Attraction to manifest things is Magic 101. That doesn’t mean it’s easy – especially if you’re a beginner. But once you get it, things start to flow. Tools can be very useful and do not have to be expensive or even new. Pen and paper can work wonders. A tarot card can do the same. Here are different ways to use one in your process after making your choice:

Stick it on your wall, next to your bed, or on your front door (so you see it when you wake up/go to sleep, or every time you get in and out of the car).

Add it to your vision board

Use it as a focus point during your meditations and affirmations

I do this by posting my card in my bedroom, usually after feeling positive during a reading. I’ll then use it as a focus before diving into the visualization. It’s an easy addition to any manifestation process, it has a lot of power when reading it tells you you will succeed. Because every time you look at the card, remember that Tarot also predicted your manifestation. This can really help you keep the faith, which is sometimes the hardest part of the process – especially with larger manifestations that can take a little longer.

Whatever your favorite way to do it, just keep at it and never lose faith. Live in the moment, trust the universe and be thankful. If you really want something to happen and you know in your heart that it is right, there is no power on this earth that can stop you. But some, like your beloved deck, can help. Good luck on your journey, I hope this little tip will help you make your dream come true ✨

Over 60 experienced tarot readers offer their best advice on what every new tarot reader should know. Not everyone will agree with everything. Add ideas that you think belong in the comments. Feel free to post this anywhere as long as you credit the source and credits (listed at the end).

The rules

• There are no rules. All rules are made to be broken.

• You will hear and read a lot about tarot, much of it contradictory. Listen, read, discuss, try and decide for yourself. Nobody but you knows how you will read the cards or work with them.

learn tarot

• The more you know, the more options you have.

• Read books, lots of books.

• PUT THE BOOKS ON!

• There is nothing wrong with books. The knowledge gained from this gives you a fantastic starting point and framework and can lead to more confident reading.

• Try reading a card first before looking it up. You’ll be surprised how much of the essence you get.

• Get to know your deck – draw a card each day and/or go through your deck and take notes on each card. Write your thoughts and feelings about each card in a journal.

• Learn the basics of Tarot history and symbolism.

• Learn the astrological and elemental correspondences. They condition the mind to think associatively and to make extraordinary connections.

• Pick a system and stick with it long enough to understand it, then branch it out. You’ll only confuse yourself trying to absorb all the different ideas being thrown around.

• The cards consist of micro symbols within a macro symbol. Each of the map’s symbols can reveal detailed, relevant and meaningful information.

• Learn what the colors, numbers and symbols tell you.

• Draw a daily card from your deck and let it speak to you. Ask yourself big questions.

• Make everything out loud, even if you’re just reading to yourself. Tarot was originally an oral storytelling skill, and speaking aloud follows its own paths.

• Assign one to three keywords to each card.

• Read the cards visually; you are the book

• Befriend your deck; it consists of 78 personalities who must be known well.

• Make friends with your cards! Sleep with them, play with them, journal with them.

• People have many levels and so do the maps.

• It helps to relate the cards to people and events you know and have experienced.

• Pay special attention to cards that don’t appear friendly.

• Read your cards daily for someone: yourself and others. Keep a journal of your tarot work, including daily readings.

• You cannot learn without actually practicing reading. . . . practice, practice, practice. Read for friends, strangers at the mall, in a bar (big icebreaker).

• As you go about your life, keep the cards in your head. See if different experiences remind you of different cards.

• Also constantly learn from others! There are tons of books, courses, online events, conferences, and meetings that can enrich your perspective.

• CONSTANTLY UPDATE and improve your own spiritual focus. Work on yourself all the time. Keep growing and never think you know everything!

tarot is. . . A reading is. . .

• A reading is a part of life. It’s a story.

• Tarot is an intuitive compass, so forget the whole idea of ​​”reading the future.”

• Tarot is a mirror.

• Tarot is like art: There is the interpretation of art critics that gives the reasons for a masterpiece versus how one personally feels about it. It’s important to see both sides.

• Interpretation is knowledge + intuition.

• Always remember that the tarot and other card oracles are pieces of cardboard with pictures on them. The magic, wisdom, information is in you, not in the cards.

‎• It’s a piece of paper with a picture on it. It only has as much power as you (or the querent) give it.

• You are the Tarot! The cards are nothing without you. They are windows into your inner knowing that everything is already there.

decks

• Choose a deck that attracts you.

• Choose a deck that feels right to you. One that you are comfortable with. Make sure it resonates with you in terms of artwork and myth (worldview).

• Start with a deck that appeals to you and live with it for a good year (at least) before moving on to other decks.

• Keep learning: Even if you have a favorite deck, look at and compare other decks and interpretations.

• If you are interested in Tarot symbolism and traditions, get at least one “traditional” deck and learn where its symbols come from.

Spreading

• Start with small spreads.

• Start with a simple one or three card spread. The Celtic cross is usually exaggerated.

• You can create your own spread as well as use traditional ones.

preparing for a reading

• Wash your hands before touching the cards.

• Center and ground yourself before a reading.

• First ground yourself to come into the moment, light a candle, and then ask for protection and guidance as you read, inviting your guides to help bring clarity to the reading and keep out all lower entities .

• Keep handkerchiefs to hand.

• Let the client choose from several decks, depending on which appeals to her (him).

• Use a deck that you “connect” to. It should “speak” to YOU.

ethics

• People trust you with their secrets. Keep them and be worthy of that trust.

• Read the person you are with. Don’t be tempted to read that person’s husband/sister-in-law/boyfriend/boss/whatever unless that person is also sitting in front of you. Be ethical.

Consult the tarot

• Find the correct question – for the reading and for each card in a position. A reading is more about asking questions than generating ideas.

• Don’t keep asking the same question. If you find that you’ve become so addicted to tarot that you can’t do anything without first consulting the cards, take a break.

• Use the cards to learn more about yourself. They reveal what you already know but for some reason don’t look at.

• Don’t try to make predictions or fortune telling (you can do this later if you want).

• Use the cards for everything…past lives, channeling, and so on.

• Don’t be afraid to combine modalities: astrology, aura reading, etc.

• Concentrate on the cards; Don’t add anything else until you’ve gotten everything you can from the spread in front of you.

reading the cards

• The main thing is… just START and if you make mistakes, learn from them!

• Make a commitment to only read the cards upright until you learn the meaning of the 78 cards. Reversals become easier once you know the upright meanings.

• It’s easier if you use inversions from the start.

• Keep a “cheat sheet” in case you get stuck on a card’s meaning. Or don’t be afraid to look up a meaning in a book. Just one word or phrase can be enough to spur you on to the rest of the story.

• Preconceived notions about what each card means can block your ability to tap into the now.

• Relax, breathe, look at the map, close your eyes and feel the map affecting you. Look at what suit it is and what element it represents, look at the number, look at the colors, and then start reading, using your intuition.

• First thought, best thought; keep reading simple; make a story out of it.

• Use all your senses…pictures, words, songs, feelings. Then tell a story with these.

• Try not to think of a card as just good or bad, but with a range.

• Always intending to heal/help; it mitigates mistakes when your heart is in the right place.

• Don’t insist that you’re right or apologize when you’re wrong.

• Don’t edit yourself. Whatever comes to mind first is probably correct.

• Do not say anything that comes to your mind as this could seriously harm your babysitter. Filter everything through love (a “love filter”), and if you *have* to say it, say it constructively. First, no harm. Before you speak, remember the motto, “Love is always the appropriate response.”

• Don’t be afraid to be “wrong”. Sometimes when you’re “wrong”, stick with it, dig deeper, be patient. People will say, “No, there’s nothing wrong,” but sometimes the floodgates suddenly open and real healing takes place.

• Sometimes, when you’re “wrong,” agree with the questioner and let it go. If it’s important, it will come up in other ways. Don’t force anyone to go where they don’t want to go.

• Cards that tend to have negative connotations don’t always have negative connotations, ie. Death and the Tower. They don’t mean what they show in the physical sense.

• It is possible to inhabit a map and speak from there.

• In difficult situations, look for and discuss life lessons. Provide guidance so the person is aware of what they are dealing with and can GO OVER.

forecast

• Predictions must be made very carefully, if at all. They can come true because people put faith and emotional energy into the prediction.

• NEVER predict death, disease, disaster, and divorce…the 4-Ds!

Faith & Trust

• Always trust your intuition.

• Occasionally, as you read, you will think of something that has nothing to do with what you know. trust. Say what you see, even if it doesn’t make sense to you.

• If you see something, say it. It may be the exact answer versus the “book” answer.

• The sight is a gift; Use it with trust and faith and integrity.

• Trust your first thought – don’t doubt yourself. You can look up the meaning later if you want.

• Trust that what you say, whether the questioner thinks it is “right” or “wrong,” is what the questioner needs to hear.

• Believe in the cards. Just because you might not understand what you are being shown means there is a reason. Relax, breathe in and it will come to you.

• It’s okay to be wrong.

Doubt . . .

• No panic. Just go with the flow…

• Panic is normal. If you draw a space, just describe the card.

• Whenever you feel stuck, be literal, not metaphorical. Say what you see on the cards.

• Pick up and rearrange the cards.

• Don’t give in to your fear of not seeing… if you have sight, you can see.

• Select any “Am I doing this right” self-quiz questions while you do the reading – it will block your connection with the cards. You can question yourself after reading to improve yourself.

• If something doesn’t work, switch to something else. numbers, palms, horoscopes; Then come back to the cards.

• Don’t worry if you make mistakes while reading. Like life, it is a long journey to gain skill and wisdom. Until then: read, read, read again, pray, work and find.

• Don’t take yourself too seriously.

professionalism

• If your advice is worth taking, it’s worth getting paid for.

• Appreciate yourself and your reading, but don’t overdo it.

• Ask for money because if you don’t you end up having to do something else to make money and then you might give away your gift because you don’t have time for it!

The querent/customer

• People love to hear about themselves. They crave attention. That should give you confidence.

• Determine where a person is from and how best to communicate with them by checking their astrology, numerology or natal charts or by drawing a card before reading.

• Don’t take other people’s aggression personally. Most of the time it’s just fear. Have them look at a map and ask how it makes them feel.

• Think about what the other needs and not about how you are doing.

• Don’t try to make things up and tell people what you think they want to hear.

• Don’t let others “check” your readings. Trust yourself and remember you don’t have to prove anything.

• The querent knows himself better than you do. But you know the cards better than he/she does.

• You are there to help the client find their own truth through a relationship between you, the client and the cards. life is relationship

• If the client is calm, that doesn’t mean you’re wrong; there are many other reasons. Just enjoying the silence helps with concentration!

• Don’t read more than once in a month [a month—or even longer!] to the same person, to the same issue. Things take time to develop.

your uniqueness

• Recognize yourself.

• Each card reader is unique and brings its own gifts to the mix. Be yourself.

• The tarot communicates in different ways with different people. Notice the specific way the tarot conveys ideas to you. Your uniqueness matters and this awareness will create a deep relationship with the cards and the reading process.

A Truly Remarkable Tarot Reading (continued post on how to record and send readings via iPad, iPhone and other options)

Reading tarot cards can be fun and enlightening, and if you’re looking for answers about your love life, maybe the cards can tell you. Finding love can be a tricky and unpredictable process. So if you want a little guidance, maybe it’s time to turn to the cards.

It is important to know how to ask the tarot cards questions about love. Asking questions openly is the best way to start. Start with “Why”, “Where”, “Which”, “What” or “How” and you will probably automatically have an open-ended question.

If you leave questions unanswered, you can read the cards in a more meaningful and useful way. Most people also advise against asking “yes” or “no” questions – obtaining such specific answers is not the goal of tarot. Rather, you want useful insights and spiritual guidance that will actually help you take charge of your own life.

Many people ask the cards about their love life when the opportunity presents itself. It’s regular reading, and alongside some answers on where your love life is going, you might also get advice on how to proceed. Here are some questions to get you started.

What parts of myself do I need to work on to have a balanced relationship?

It’s the age old love advice – to love someone, you must first love yourself. Sometimes we’re not ready for love until we’ve worked on a little self-improvement, but that in itself can be a tricky process. It can be difficult to know where to start. The cards can help you identify the parts of yourself that need a little nurturing to be ready for a balanced, healthy relationship.

What is the reason I am preventing myself from new love coming into my life?

Sometimes you feel like you’ve met the perfect person – but there’s just something missing. This could be a product of your inner self not allowing you to let new love in. So why are we doing this? Well, there’s no easy answer, and it’s different for everyone. But if you ask the cards, they might be able to give you some insight as to why you’re so reluctant to let anyone in.

Perhaps the cards can help you understand why you are struggling to let in new love.

‍

What is the most important lesson I need to learn from my breakup?

Most of us have been through a breakup. And we know how messy they can be. At the time of the breakup, it can seem like you just learned how much you loved the person and how sad you are that they left. But every relationship can teach us something, good or bad, and if you’re having trouble identifying that lesson, the cards can help.

What would be a good type of date with my crush?

Deciding what to do on the first date can be one of the worst parts of dating. There are so many options – miniature golf, a walk in the park or the classic dinner and a movie. But there could be a specific type of date that will benefit you and your potential partner in ways only the cards can know.

What are my strengths when it comes to relationships?

As humans, it can be easy to jump to self-criticism and focus on our negative traits. But an important part of being a good partner is knowing what you bring to the table — maybe you’re a great communicator, or you’re an empath attuned to your partner’s emotions. Realizing what that strength is so you can remind yourself in times of doubt that you’re good at it can be a huge asset in your romantic life.

If you feel stuck in your love life, a tarot reading may be the way to go!

What does the universe want me to know about my love life?

Sometimes it can help to ask more general questions – you may get answers you weren’t expecting. If the universe is trying to tell you something specific about your love life, the cards can help you find that out.

How is my love life going?

This is probably the question we all want to ask ourselves when the opportunity presents itself. Whether you’ve just got out of a relationship or have been single for years and ready for love, it can be tempting to know what’s next and how much longer you have to wait. If the maps can help you answer that question, then they certainly will.

What new activities/hobbies could lead me to my next love interest?

Taking up new hobbies can be good for many reasons, but one of those reasons could be that you might meet someone new. If you feel like trying something new, like a cooking or art class, maybe the cards can give you a little guidance on what to try that could lead you to love.

Why am I holding on to this relationship/crush?

Letting go of our love interests can be extremely hard, whether it’s someone you’re actually in a relationship with or someone you have a crush on. If you’re having a hard time letting go, no matter how much you want to, maybe it’s time to ask the cards for some insight. Hopefully the answer will help you understand why you are holding on so tightly and what you can do to let go.

What type of personality should I avoid in love and relationships?

You won’t be compatible with everyone – if you were, finding love would be a lot easier. But if you find that incompatibility is a recurring problem in your love life, maybe there’s a certain personality type that you don’t realize you need to avoid. Ask the cards for guidance on what type of personality to avoid to save time in the future.

Where is this relationship going?

It’s a question people usually shy away from asking their partners, but putting the cards could be a little easier. Whether you’re struggling to decide if you want the relationship to last or you’re desperate for it to last, some helpful pointers for the future are always welcome.

An important part of the Tarot is to gain insight into your future.

What blocks are there in my relationship?

Relationships aren’t meant to be 100% easy, and every couple goes through periods of tension and questioning. But if you believe the relationship is meant to last and you don’t want to throw in the towel, maybe it’s time to do some work and figure out what could be preventing your relationship from thriving.

How can I become more confident when it comes to finding love?

The world of dating and looking for love can be a scary place. You may cancel before a first date because you’re too nervous, or ghost someone because you’re afraid they don’t really like you. Instilling a little confidence may give you the nudge you need to take the next step, and the cards can help with that.

How can I better support my partner?

Relationships are not a one-way street, and many of us know how it feels when your partner doesn’t support you the way they should. It’s important to be aware of this, and if you feel like you haven’t supported your partner enough or in the right way, ask for the cards.

How can I dress my target?

You can’t force love out of thin air, but you can actively try to attract the person you want to be with. There are different ways for different people to attract love, and if you should do something specific to attract your persona, let the cards tell you.

‍

Love is one of the driving forces in the world, which is why so many tarot card readings focus on it. Tarot can be overwhelming at first, with so many questions to ask and so much information to gather. These 15 questions are a good place to start, and you’ll likely come up with them over time.

To truly benefit from a tarot card reading, it is best to focus on yourself. Be open and always keep the intent of your questions in mind. Tarot cards are all about predicting the future. And if the cards are telling you something you don’t want to hear, that’s okay too – you can take or leave what feels right.

Love is one of the greatest, maybe even the greatest, human mysteries we wish to experience. And of course, due to its elusive and coveted nature, it is also one of the most common topics that readers are asked to provide an answer for. Whether for yourself or for others – there are so many situations in which we are looking for answers.

How to use these love tarot spreads

The spreads that we are focusing on here today are meant to be used to get a different perspective on the love and relationships in your life. For the most part we will focus on romantic relationships, but some of these can also be used for relationships in general, or adapted to be used in this way. We will list these in order from the simplest to the most complex.

We hope these spreads are readily used to help you on your journey!

3 card tarot for love/relationship

As the simplest of these tarot readings, we recommend this for a quick diagnosis of relationship dynamics between two people. After you’ve shuffled your cards and focused on your questions, place the leftmost card first, then the rightmost, making room for a third card in the middle.

You – What is your role in this relationship? How do you perceive yourself and how does that affect your partnership? Lovers/Partners – What is their role in the relationship? How do you perceive your partner? And how does that affect the partnership? Dynamic – How would you describe this relationship? What are the characteristics of it?

5 Card Clubs Love Tarot Spread

This is similar to the 3 card love tarot, but aims to provide more detail on how the relationship has evolved over time and the direction your relationship is taking following its current trajectory. Instead of having a single card in the middle, draw 3 cards from top to bottom in the middle.

Your Role – What is your role in your partnership? Partner’s Role – What is your partner’s role? Former Foundation – What was the basis of your relationship? How did you two get together? What originally connected you? Current Status – What is the current status of your relationship? What are the current dynamics? Looming Future – Where is this relationship headed? What kind of feelings/partnership can you expect to develop together?

Compatibility Love Tarot Spread

This tarot reading focuses entirely on the dynamics between two partners, analyzing various aspects of your relationship that could be points of contention or unification.

Your Desires – What are you looking for in a relationship? What do you need from the relationship to consider it successful? Partner Desires – What does your partner desire in a relationship? What would you need to be successful? Differences – In which areas of life do you two find differences? What are possible points of contention? Similarities – Where in life do you find similarities? What brings you together? Emotional Compatibility – How compatible are you emotionally? Physical tolerance – How well tolerated are you physically? How would you characterize your physical relationship? Mental Compatibility – How compatible are you mentally? Do you find similar things intellectually stimulating?

The best thing about the Tarot is that you can honestly ask these cards A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. There is no question too remote for the tarot – and better yet, there is no judgement. There is literally no limit to the problems Tarot can help you solve and understand. As a tarot reader, I personally avoid questions about health (I believe these are better answered by a medical professional) but embrace any other topic. The answers are all already out there, waiting – you just have to access them. If you’re using Tarot to help you make important moves in your life — or just helping you figure out which TV series to binge watch next — here’s how.

But first, why would you want to see a professional reader?

When you’re first learning the meaning of the cards and practicing making spreads, it’s a good idea to get some professional reading. A professional tarot reader gives you an outside perspective—plus you can watch how it’s done and maybe get a few tips.

Over the years of conducting professional readings for clients around the world, I’ve found common questions: Everyone wants to know if they’re on the right track and if they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Everyone doubts that their life is going as it should. By the way, this Saturn return is REAL! Around the age of 30, those doubts and self-inquiries really start to surface, and I read a lot of readings for people about their careers and purpose at that age.

Everyone is also obsessed with their relationships — overthinking things, projecting their private and past fears onto other people, and idealizing people they shouldn’t. Even when all other components in your life are in overdrive, when your relationship landscape is challenging or empty, it’s hard to feel secure and valued.

Since Tarot is the product of 500 years of humans shaping these universal card meanings, it is a collective repository of human wisdom.

What if I do my own tarot reading?

The hardest part about reading tarot is learning how to create a full, well-rounded reading from a scatter of individual cards. The cards are greater than the sum of their parts, and learning how to interpret them takes time and practice. There is also a unique magic that YOU bring to the process, as no one’s interpretation will be the same as anyone else’s. You can stare at the cards, take notes, and look them up for as long as you like – but at some point you’ll need to combine their meanings into a coherent answer or story for your questioner. This is why tarot reading requires so much practice and perseverance.

Questions for a Tarot Reader

Many people go to tarot readers and just say NOTHING, as if testing the tarot reader’s ability to see if they can guess the question you want to know the answer to. But would you go to a doctor or other professional and pay them money to try and guess what your problem is without giving them any information about your symptoms or concerns? It’s a waste of time, and it’s possible to completely miss what you’re trying to find out.

Not all tarot readers (like me) are psychic or clairvoyant, so they can’t read you ~cold~. Give your reader a brief synopsis of where you are and what you want to know so they can tailor their reading to you. Treat your tarot reader like any professional – tell them what you need and what your expectations are. This way you’ll get a more specific answer – and it’s worth your money!

How to formulate questions for the tarot cards

Whether you’re seeing an expert or reading your own maps, take a few minutes to think about what exactly it is you want to know. Then follow these steps:

Break your questions up into smaller pieces

Generally, an in-depth tarot reading involves at least three cards. If you’re reading your own maps, break your main question into three or more smaller parts that add up to a rounded answer. Arrange your spread in chronological or logical order. In this way, the cards form a path that you can “walk”. When you see a tarot reader, this thought process can also help you know exactly what you want to know.

Think about the past and the future

A common tarot deck is the past/present/future deck, in which three cards are drawn to represent the past, present, and future. Many other spreads are variations on this basic format, with additional cards giving further insight into your situation. With spreads like this, consider what actions got you where you are now, what your past might be the root cause fueling your current situation, and what steps you need to take next. Finally, think about what follow-up actions or further thoughts you might have once you know the answer to your main question.

Make your questions specific

The narrower your individual questions, the easier it will be to answer them – whether reading your own maps or consulting a professional reader. Tarot cards often have multiple, sometimes abstract, meanings, making them difficult enough to relate to your question. If your question is already multi-layered, it just adds another layer of confusion. For example, don’t ask, “What are her true feelings and will this make her want to get back in touch with me?” Instead, break that into two separate questions and draw a card for each: “What are her true feelings for me?” and then “Will you contact me again?”

You can ask WHEN something will happen

Don’t be afraid of when questions! The cards all have time periods or limits associated with them, so it’s okay to ask questions like, “When will you get in touch with me again?” Your tarot reader or tarot book will have more details, but each of the four colors tied to a period. Wands indicate days or spring, swords indicate weeks or autumn, goblets indicate months or summer, and pentagrams indicate years or winter.

Think carefully before asking a yes or no question

Tarot can be used for yes or no questions BUT it is not as simple as it might first seem. Sure, the question structure is simple, but none of the cards specifically mean “yes” or “no,” so the cards can be difficult to interpret. And TBH, you’re probably already struggling to interpret this situation, which is why you ended up asking the tarot! You could overcome this by pre-selecting two cards and deciding which represent “Yes” (perhaps the Ace of Wands) and which represent “No” (perhaps the Ten of Swords), then shuffle those two cards and draw one or the other .

It’s also okay to NOT ask any questions

If you want to know something specific, please ask! But sometimes you don’t know what you’re looking for and you just want to see what the cards reveal. If so, tell your reader a little bit about your own background (like your relationship status, job, home, and any burning issues) and say that you would like to be inspired or updated on your current life.

Questions for your tarot pad

After a breakup

If you recently broke up with someone and want to learn more about why — or find out if you’re getting back together — draw a card for each of these questions:

What is the current energy of the relationship?

What is the root cause of the breakup?

What are your true feelings for me right now?

What are you going to do with me now?

What is the future nature of this relationship?

What is the best move for me now?

When looking for a job

If you are feeling uncertain about your career path or considering a new job, you can lay out this page and see what kind of career advice the Tarot can offer. Again, draw one card for each question.

What is my current career energy?

What obstacle do I have to overcome?

What is my professional calling?

How do I get closer to this calling?

Who can help me?

What is the best step for me in the coming month?

When deciding between two options

When you use the tarot to choose between two options (two job offers, two apartments, maybe a love triangle???) this card can reveal the pros and cons of each choice and help you make the right choice. You get the deal: ask one question per card.

What is the underlying cause of this crossing?

What is the most likely outcome for Option A?

What is the most likely outcome for Option B?

What else should I pay attention to that was overlooked?

What is my next best step today?

When something is wrong with a friend

If you’re concerned about the state of a friendship—perhaps you feel things aren’t right but can’t figure out why—you can see the insights and corrections this spread reveals. Yes, again: ask one question per card.

Why is this friendship important?

What is the root cause of this recent shift in tone?

What do I think has changed?

What can I do to fix this problem?

How will this friendship develop from here?

What should I do now?

The major arcana

There are two main types of cards in a classic deck: The Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Major Arcana cards are also known as Trump cards. Beginning with “The Fool” at zero and ending with “The World” at 21, the Major Arcana represent the Fool’s journey as he learns lessons along the way. When drawn during a tarot reading, they represent an overarching theme and encourage us to think about the bigger picture, explains astrologer and tarotist Bess Matassa. Here is a brief overview of each:

The minor arcana

There are 56 Minor Arcana cards and they are divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentagrams. Within those four are court cards (king, queen, knight, and page) that can be interpreted as people and personalities, but they can also represent “parts of ourselves that we are meant to reclaim,” says Matassa. While the Major Arcana present broader issues, the Minor Arcana are more concerned with your day-to-day circumstances. That doesn’t mean they are less important! If the major arcana is the season, the minor arcana is the weather. Here’s what each suit speaks for:

wands

The wands are associated with the element of fire and relate to our passion and energy. Wand cards relate to creativity, purpose, and how we impart our individual power, Matassa explains, and “brings a higher meaning to a worldly experience.”

cups

The row of cups is associated with water, which is associated with emotions, feelings and intuition. “For me, it’s about those inner waters,” says Matassa, “about the inner, emotional experience.”

swords

The Suit of Swords is associated with the air and the mental realm, whether it be the intellect and thoughts or how those thoughts manifest. With this suit, Matassa often ponders what the cards reveal about “getting caught up in thought patterns and stories we tell ourselves.”

pentagrams

Pentagrams are connected to the earth and as such have to do with the material world. They are often associated with money but can also symbolize our values, worth and sense of security.

What does it mean when your card is upside down?

As the tarot has evolved over the years, many of the standards have been reversed, making way for a more intuitive style of reading. As such, many tarot readers – including Matassa – do not read inversions (meaning they do not necessarily interpret a card differently if it is inverted, as is the standard). “An inverted card doesn’t necessarily invert the meaning,” she says. “It textures and customizes the experience. It may prompt you to actively work with this card to turn it right side up and may signal resistance to the energies of the card.” In the end, reading tarot is always a personal process, and each one Map is open to your own unique interpretation. Once you get the basics down, you can let your intuition run wild. So now you’re ready to go out and find a deck that speaks to you, ask it big questions, and get advice on everything she is. search again.

Manifesto (2018–) Sarah Folkins: Tarot Reader #2

It looks like we don’t have any photos or offers yet.

Be the first to contribute! Add a photo or add a quote.

As a tarot reader, I often get questions related to the future. For example:

is my friend coming back

When will a job call me?

When do I marry and who?

When do I get money?

when do you see me happy

The list could be continued as desired. The problem with these types of questions, however, is that they are detached from our situation. It’s as if we want life to happen to us and make everything right without our own involvement in making life happen for us. We forget that we have been given the gift of free will and the ability to direct ourselves in the life we ​​choose. Sometimes it’s not that we’ve forgotten, it’s that we don’t want to take responsibility for running our own lives. If we fail, what does that say about us?

First, to overcome defeatist thinking, we must view life as an obstacle course, not a series of failures. A powerful piece of advice that’s often heard is, “If you can’t change it, don’t do it.” Or take the advice to heart, “If you want to change it, then do it!”

This is where manifestation comes into play. To manifest means to bring about change or to bring something out of nothing. But there are some misconceptions about manifestation. Clients who consult tarot readers on questions like the above are sometimes upset when their advisor is unable to manifest the desired outcome. Some clients may honestly feel that consultants are able to get the results they want. Others would probably prefer to be lied to as long as the outcome is positive, and some simply refuse to take responsibility for their own lives.

Tarot readers cannot manifest changes in your life. What you can do is:

Help identify what is holding you back from achieving or achieving your desired outcome.

Find the obstacles on your way.

Say if you are on the right path or not.

Consider the energy of manifestation and gain an understanding of the forces you are working with.

Let’s look at some of the questions above:

is my friend coming back No tarot reader can make your friend come back. He will only come back into your life of his own free will. And think carefully whether you really want him back or not. It’s no fun having a friend around who, at heart, doesn’t really want to be with you. But let’s assume for the sake of argument that you want him to return. Consider the energy of the situation as it is now.

Is he open to a return?

Why do you want him to come back?

Look at the breakdown of the relationship.

Where did something go wrong?

What lesson did you learn from the relationship?

Take a look at if you want the relationship to be the way it was and why. Really look for the why.

What do you want and need in a relationship? You are now at a point where you can manifest your future. Are you still asking, “Will my boyfriend be back?” Or are you asking, “How can I create the relationship I want in the future?” Asking that last question puts you in control of your situation. You don’t depend on your ex to give you what you desperately need in your life. Embracing the power to manifest the kind of relationship you want and need has a huge impact on your life. You and your tarot reader can still work to ensure that your ex lives up to your expectations, but in the event that he is unable or uninterested, there is still room for you to bring the perfect man into your life through manifestation. When will the job call me? First of all, what did you do to get the job you want? Tarot cards are better used in this situation to show: What you need to work on to qualify for the job.

What is stopping you from getting a desired position?

What potential do you have to get a certain job?

What does the employer look for in a person. Manifestation is about knowing your limits, your opportunities, and what you are dealing with. Gather all your facts first, then you can manifest the desired outcome.

Now let’s apply the rules of manifesting:

Know what you want to manifest and why. Understand your motivations. When you manifest your desires you need to be aware of whether they are coming from a place of purity or neediness or anger and so on. You want to be in a grounded place. The desires should not reinforce crutches like an excessive need for money, fear, addiction, temptation, insecurity, etc. Be careful what you ask for, as the saying goes – you might get it! Sometimes you work hard alongside the universe to manifest things in your life that you don’t really want. The effects can be worrying. Understand the obstacles holding you back Obstacles are things that hold you back and keep you from realizing your potential. For example, an obstacle could be a mindset that insists you can’t do something. It could be a fear of changing your lifestyle or making a commitment. A fantasy might be a hindrance; You may miss or ignore great opportunities because you are chasing dreams that have no chance of coming true. The sooner you identify the obstacles you are creating, the sooner you can remove them. Don’t blame others for not getting what you want. Another person is not an obstacle! All humans have free will and move as they please. They are not an obstacle and do not hold you back unless you choose to let them. Get all the additional information you need to know. Look for guidance, hidden energies, or a lesson you need to learn and make sure what you are trying to manifest is the right path for you. Maybe you’re not getting what you want because you have to be on a different path. Make a plan. Write down your intentions and how you plan to achieve them. Brainstorm to find different paths to success. For example, if you want to get your dream job, think of as many ways as possible to achieve that goal. You can volunteer or do an internship. You could schedule an elevator meeting or put your resume in the newspaper. You could network and see if someone you know has a contact in your desired area. Search for job postings and visit the company with a presentation in tow. Write down exactly what you want to achieve, and then think about how to get to the top! Start Manifesting Manifesting is directing energy in a direction that will bring about your desired intent. Pushing energy involves thinking, intention and action. Put the thought of what you really want out into the universe; define, see and believe.

State your intent.

Take action – take whatever ideas you can think of to achieve your goal and act on them.

Sit back and forget your intention for a while; give your manifestation time to develop.

If you need to follow up with a reader to see how the energy went and where it’s going, that’s fine. Keep up a good and positive vibe believing and knowing that it will happen the way you intended. And when you hit another stumbling block, consult your tarot reader to find out what’s holding you back and put control back into your life.

Personally, I don’t think much of these old stories. Or rather, I think that old stories only serve a good purpose when they feel useful to you, here and now. The best way to connect to your tarot deck is the way that feels right to you. This is your tarot story and you can decide how to proceed!

If you’re looking for ideas to get you started, here are some ways I’ve associated with card games over the years. Remember, there is no right or wrong way, so take what feels good and leave the rest. Happy reading!

1. Look at the cards

Most of the time, the first thing I do when I pick up a new deck of cards is take some quiet time to look at it well. Give yourself a moment or five when you won’t be interrupted. Turn off your phone, maybe grab a notebook and pen if you feel the need to jot down a note or two. Peel off the wrapping, open the box and see what you find inside.

You can choose to look through the cards one at a time. You may prefer to find your favorite birth chart or birth chart first (see #2 in this post to learn how to calculate your birth chart). You can decide to dive straight into your favorite suit or lay out all the majors side-by-side.

Take a moment to be curious about your deck. Which cards catch your attention? Which artwork do you love immediately? What images do you find confusing or confronting? Which images are immediately familiar to you and which ones challenge your idea of ​​what a card could mean?

At this point, you might decide it’s a good time to read your deck’s book, if it comes with one. I like looking at the description of a deckmaker’s job. Each tarot creator brings a unique sensibility to their creation, and when encountering a deck for the first time, exploring the creator’s writings on their work, if they have provided them, is a great way to get a feel for it get how the deck might look, feel and act.

(As you do this, keep in mind that you will form your own relationship with those cards you choose. The creator may express their intent and offer their ideas about the meaning of the cards, but as you experience your deck, you will make your own associations and develop your own sense of the meaning of the cards. So, don’t feel like you need to take anything as gospel!)

2. Bless, consecrate, or charge your deck

There are a million and one ways to ritually prepare your deck for use, but here are just a few that I like. All of these methods are enhanced with a little intention into the process, so I recommend taking some quiet, undisturbed time to clean and charge your deck. You may want to meditate for a few minutes (or more) before you begin so your mindset is clear and fresh.

Talk to your deck throughout the process, too! What do you achieve with this ritual? What kind of relationship do you want to build with your cards? Where do you want your tarot journey to take you? As you cleanse and charge your new tarot deck, it’s a great idea to infuse it with these hopes and intentions, either by saying them out loud or just focusing on them in your mind.

FULL MOON CHARGING

Full moons are strong times of the lunar cycle to harness peak energy, and many readers also find that the moon’s bright light has cleansing and clearing vibrations during this phase. So you get two for the price of one – your deck will be stripped of any remaining dull energy and powered by the moon’s most intense light.

Check the date and time of the full moon in your location (I use timeanddate.com or the Full Moon app). Before laying out my deck for a moonbath, I like to make sure all the cards are in order – majors 0-21 and minors ace-king in order of wands, chalices, swords and pentagrams (if your deck is brand new it might already be ok). Once you’re satisfied that your patio is laid out the way you want it, place it somewhere, e.g. B. on a windowsill where she can bask in the bright and powerful light of the moon.

Bonus Tip: You can also use the sun to clean up and recharge your deck! On a bright afternoon, let your patio catch a few rays of sunshine to freshen it up. However, be careful not to leave it out for too long – your deck’s print may fade with prolonged exposure to the sun.

So what does it mean when a card jumps out of the deck? Is it nothing or is it definitely something? I fall firmly in the latter camp. In this post, I’ll explain why I think jumpers are important and give you some recommendations on how to deal with them.

What falls on the floor comes to the door.

I love old witch sayings! They are part of an oral tradition that probably originated at a time when most rural people were illiterate. Before witches could write their spells in elaborate grimoires, they came up with rhymes and other catchy phrases to memorize their practices.

I could never find the origin of the old chestnut, “What falls on the ground comes to the door”, but I think it’s a keeper. Tarot readers match the spell to cards that pop out of the deck when shuffled; whether they “fall to the ground” or land on the table. If, like me, you value the tarot as an oracle, a gateway to a higher level of understanding, then I encourage you to heed each sign, and that certainly includes card jumping.

Why do tarot cards jump out of the deck?

Cards may jump due to the reader’s unconscious energy transfer, inexperienced handling, or sheer luck.

When experienced tarot practitioners handle their tarot decks, they bring energy and intention to the cards. Empaths are particularly adept at transferring energy, and if you fall into this mystical category, be on the lookout for anomalies that appear as you shuffle the deck.

Beginners at tarot reading — and nervous questioners who shuffle the deck before reading — are especially prone to clumsy shuffles that result in cards falling onto the table or floor. However, that doesn’t mean their jumpers should be discounted as “accidents”. Every card that comes out of the deck – regardless of the shuffler’s skill – should be noted.

How do cards jump?

There are several ways a card can work its way out of the deck. I rank Jumper cards in the following order of importance (least to most important):

Several cards fall from the deck onto the floor or tabletop. This situation is probably just a bug caused by clumsy shuffling. A single card falls face down on the table without much flair or fanfare. A single card falls face up on the tabletop. A single card jumps energetically from the deck and lands face up on the table. Take care, dear reader. The card reads, “Hey! Look at me! I have to tell you something!”

6 methods to deal with a jumping tarot card

Tarot reading, especially for others, is an incredibly intimate experience based on honesty and trust. If a card pops off the deck during the shuffle, pause and tune in to the vibrations surrounding your relationship with the questioner—even if you’ve just met and even if you’re reading yourself.

Here are six ways to deal with an escape card, ranked from most conservative to most important:

Push the card back into the deck and continue shuffling as if nothing happened. Memorize the jumper in your head, shuffle it back into the deck, and only acknowledge it when it reappears in the span you laid. Place the jumper face up on the table, place your spread separately on the table as usual, and conclude the reading by considering whether the jumper is relevant to the cards you laid. Only incorporate it into your reading if it “speaks to you” and makes sense in context. Use the jumper as a signifier. Treat this card as a starting point for the rest of your reading by placing it first—especially in double sheets that have a card meant to represent the querent, such as B. Map 1 in the Celtic Cross double sheet. Think of the jumper as a reading reset. Questioners are often shy when it comes to asking the actual question. They are afraid to explore their darker, more secret sides. This could be an opportunity to ask your questioner (even if you are): “Maybe your original question wasn’t quite right. What do you really want to know?” Give the jumper its own reading. Reading a map is arguably the most difficult because they lack the context gained from reading it in relation to other maps. But sometimes the things that are the hardest are the things that are most relevant. Study the jumper carefully and completely. Really dig in! Consider everything about this card, including traditional keywords, intuitive interpretation of the symbolism, color, numerology… whatever resources and knowledge are at your disposal. If your belief system involves communicating with the spirit world, ask yourself if the Jumper card could be a message from the afterlife.

Tarot reading is an exercise, not a skill that can be mastered. Every reading is different and is influenced by so many variables. Don’t limit your practice by being too rigid. Open your heart, mind, and sixth sense to make each read the most meaningful and relevant experience possible… and that includes considering lively maps that demand your attention!

Daily meditation has a variety of mental health benefits, including a variety of mental health benefits including activating your “rest and digestive” system instead of your “fight-or-flight” nervous system. A way you might not have thought of to meditate? Read tarot cards. As well as encouraging honesty, Tarot can help you to be more aware, present and active in managing things – with each card giving you a different message for a specific situation. Call me an extremely lazy mystic, but I will always draw a tarot move with a card across a spread.

If you’ve never done a one-card tarot move, you intuitively need to choose a single card to inform a question or situation. This Tarot 101 technique simply requires a little self-reflection (especially if you’re drawing for yourself) and a little research if you’re still brushing up on the meanings of your tarot cards. And according to astrologer and tarot card reader Maria Sofia Marmanides, you can use a one-card tarot train for more than yes/no questions, and you don’t have to use a whole card all the time.

“Swiping a card can offer so much clarity while also helping you sharpen your intuitive reading skills.” —Tarot reader Maria Sofia Marmanides

“Taking a card can bring so much clarity while also helping you sharpen your intuitive reading skills,” says Marmanides. “Imagine the one map describing the entirety of the situation—past, present, and future—to remind us that the solution often lies in the problem. Whatever card you draw, it’s about empowering you to use that energy to move forward or move past it with clarity.”

Aside from making people feel empowered, what other benefits does doing a tarot move with a card have?

Benefits of a tarot move using a card to read

1. They are fast

“Reading a card is one of the quickest and most satisfying ways to develop a relationship with your deck, especially if you’re just starting out in tarot learning,” says Marmanides. She adds that the speed with which you can do this could result in you doing more tarot moves on a card – which in turn will help you build your intuition and trust it more when relying on the receives messages from the deck.

2. They are easier to interpret

According to Marmanides, soul searching for answers through tarot can become more complicated as you add more and more cards. If you only have one card, you don’t have to worry about synthesizing the messages they’re all trying to give you. “The one-card method is a fairly disciplined practice because by drawing just one card, you build your confidence in the universe that the answer you need right now is the one you’re going to get,” says Marmanides .

3. You can focus on the energy of the card

When you create a multi-card tarot spread, you may miss a message from the main card, as you in turn are spending energy synthesizing what you received, rather than fully accepting a single card’s message. For example, if you draw the Justice card in a multi-card spread, it’s possible to miss its message of balance and fairness to yourself and others if you focus too much on the other card you drew and how this matches the rest of the cards when reading. It also gives you a chance to “become more comfortable,” Marmanides says, with the misunderstood cards, like the Death tarot card (which, for the record, doesn’t signal that you or someone you love are going to die).

That being said, how do you effectively master the one card pull? Below, Marmanides shares three simple steps to get the clearest answers when doing a tarot move with one card.

The right way to draw a tarot card

1. Set yourself a few simple ground rules

“Think about what your intuition is telling you about the answer before you even draw your card,” says Marmanides.

While we are meant to look to the tarot guides for wisdom or guidance, we also want to follow our gut. Whether you’re dealing out a tarot card or simply pulling the tarot, you want to do like the High Priestess and think inward. Focus on the way you want to be guided, how you already feel about a certain situation, and let that energy flow into your reading.

2. Ask a very clear, specific, and heartfelt question

“Then you see what you need to understand about the situation that you may not be aware of,” says Marmanides.

Here are some important things to emphasize. First, you want to make sure you’re asking a question you want an objective answer to, not confirmation of the answer you want to get. Second, you want to avoid snagging another one. “What do you mean?” Explanation card (if you want to trust the deck, trust the deck). Finally, Marmanides says, it’s important to make sure you keep the questions centered on yourself.

“Of course, you can ask people in your life for advice, like a boss, a friend, a crush, a lover, or a family member,” she says, offering this caveat: Keep the questions related to your relationship with that person, instead of asking in person.

A one-card spread, according to Marmanides, is best used when you have a very simple, direct question that you want a clear answer to. Here are their examples:

can i get this job How does my boss/friend/lover feel about me? Will this person I just met be a serious relationship for me? What do I need to know about [insert situation]? What should I focus on today?

3. Meditate on the card you drew

Consider “the artwork, the symbolism, the traditional meaning, and also any personal meanings that you can think of,” says Marmanides. “I think the best thing is to then write the card and those keywords down somewhere — your note-taking app, a tarot journal, a sticky note — to go back to and see how the answer will manifest in your life.”

Working with a Solo card gives you a chance to really delve into its message. And, once again, allow yourself the kindness of being honest about what it might mean.

“Especially if you draw this card for yourself, it’s about treating yourself like a customer,” says Marmanides. “Don’t fail to fully explore the situation and explain yourself, using this card as a framework for your advice as if you were imparting it to someone else.”

When a one card tarot move might not be enough

Sometimes people are faced with problems that seem a little too complex to just pull a tarot card – regardless of whether they are tarot experts or tarot newbies. For example, let’s say you asked “What will happen to X?” in a tarot train with a card.

“Once you have your answer, you might want to know ‘why,’ ‘when,’ or ‘how,'” says Marmanides. “Subsequent cards can help detail the base card’s response.” These subsequent cards essentially make up multiple card spreads. There are of course different types of spreads – including the Celtic Cross spread – but we will focus on two, three and four card tarot spreads in this section.

Two card spreads

“I like to use two-card spreads for this-or-that situations where you have a choice,” says Marmanides. “Based on the card in position A or B, gauge how each card makes you feel intuitively.”

Regarding questions for two card tarot spreads, Marmanides suggests:

Should I quit or stay at my current job? Should I move or stay in my current apartment? Should I go to X this summer?

Marmanides adds that having two card splits is also helpful when you have a situation (representing Card A) that you want advice on (Card B tells you “how to overcome this challenge,” says Marmanides).

Three card spreads

A three-map spread is typically used when you want to know about your past, present, and future. This type of dissemination “is really wonderful because it affirms the situation, validates the current circumstances and emotions, and then provides insight into the energy shift in the near future,” says Marmanides. Of course, card A represents the past, card B the present, and card C the future.

Four card spreads

Much like the two-card spread can give you advice on how to move forward, so can the four-card spread. “Adding a fourth card to that three-card deck is also great to show if the tarot is giving you a clue as to what advice to follow,” says Marmanides. She adds that depending on the card drawn, you can act or be more passive. For example, when you draw a wand card, you know that you must actively move forward, since wands represent the manifestation and element of fire.

Sometimes it’s fun to do tarot for two!

So here is a spread to explore the energy between two people in a relationship.

You can use this for lovers, friendships, co-workers, couples, or partnerships within a poly relationship – anywhere two people are related*! You can also use this to explore your relationship with your body, with your work, with your home…anything you “relate” to.)

* My personal code of ethics dictates that I would not read “about” another person unless they consented.

The goal here is, firstly, to see you and the other person (or entity) as two separate beings, with different histories, different needs, and secondly, to understand the relationship as a unit in itself and thus also as something with a story of its own. I love using the you-me-us model with my partner because it helps us allocate time and resources and check that we are in balance and that things feel “fair.” This spread can help uncover codependency, weird power dynamics, and weird feelings of neediness — and it can also just be a really nice way to reach out to a lover or friend.

The relationship tarot spreads

I am sharing two different versions of this spread – a longer ten card version and then a shorter three/four card version.

The spread consists of three elements:

I – as in, the questioner, the person directing the reading

You – the second person (or entity)

We – the relationship itself – which is just as important here as the two individuals.

Shuffle the cards together and make sure you both give these cards a good try and can handle and shuffle them for as long as you/they want.

longer version

Lay out the nine cards in three columns, one row at a time. Start with yourself (“I”) on the left, then the other person (“you”) on the right, the relationship itself in the middle.

1. I – where I am

What I do or bring with me, what I need from this relationship

4. You – where you are

What you do or bring What you need from this relationship

7. We – together now

Where the relationship is going What the relationship needs from both of us

10. A word of advice.

Little time?

You can of course create a three or four card version of this spread and lay out the cards as follows:

1. You

2. i

3. Us

4. Consultation (optional)

That’s it! Have fun 🙂

Tips on why and how to clean tarot cards.

While shuffling the tarot deck is a way to cleanse and clear the energy of the cards, there are times when you might want to do something more specific and ritualized. Maybe you’re just starting out in learning tarot, and cleaning up your deck seems like a good place to start.

There are many reasons you might want to clean up your tarot deck, including:

Start with a new deck

do readings for others

You feel like you need a refresher

Your card readings feel “off” or a little disconnected

You haven’t used your deck for a while

Others have handled your deck

You feel like you’ve used your deck A LOT – especially for emotionally heavy readings

Why should you clean or tidy up your tarot deck?

Clearing your tarot deck can allow the energy to flow between you and your deck. Think of it as a little spiritual hygiene to keep the connection clear and well-tuned. It’s nothing you have to do, but if you’re feeling any of the above feelings, explore a few different ways to energetically clear your deck (see below) and note which ones work best for you.

How often should you clean your tarot deck?

There are no hard and fast rules here, which is another way of saying USE YOUR INTUITION. If you feel like your deck doesn’t need it, don’t worry. Or if you want to clean them once a week or once a month, great. You can even put your favorite crystal on the terrace every evening if you see fit.

If you regularly add crystals to your deck and place your deck on an altar when you’re not using it, you might not feel the need to clean it often, as this little ritual can be enough to keep your deck feeling good.

Just as there are many reasons you might want to clean up your cards, there are many ways to do it.

Different ways to cleanse your tarot deck

Use holy smoke. Light a smoke purification stick made from dried rosemary, lavender, cedar, sage, or palo santo until it smokes. With the burning herbs in one hand and the deck in the other, hold the smoke a safe distance below the deck so the smoke billows up toward the cards. Turn the deck so all sides are enveloped in smoke. Then lay down your deck and safely stop the smoke.

Place a selenite stone (or black tourmaline or clear quartz) on the deck. I like to leave it overnight, but an hour is fine.

Put them on at new moon. The new moon is bare slate energy, you can clean the deck under the new moon by placing it on a windowsill on a new moon night. You can also set a new intent for your deck at this point.

Glue the cards in a bowl of salt. Salt is a powerful and grounding cleanser. This is my go-to option for a serious clean. Leave it in a dry place for 1-8 hours (watch out for moisture!)

Chaotic mixing. Put the cards on the ground and shuffle them like a kid playing in the mud. The randomness and freedom of this method is a great reset.

The sorting and shuffling. Lay the deck out in rows of 7 cards starting with Major Arcana numbers 0-22 (see photo above). Then lay out the cards from ace to king for each suit in this order: Wands, Cups, Swords, Coins. View the deck in this form, then shuffle everything (like the chaos!) and shuffle well.
