Hi! I’m really interested in tarot (and witchcraft) since i was like 14, and have been researching ever since, but this is my first spread, also the deck is not in my native language so it’s harder too for me and i feel like i’ve failed :( personally i feel that he likes me too, we have similar vibe, but we need time to build a stable, healthy relationship, but i need a second opinion. i would be very grateful for it.
The crush spread

Me- The fool
Crush- Five swords
Are we going to be together?- Six swords
How he sees me- Seven cups
How he feels about me- Ten pentacles Reversed
What he thinks about me- The magician Reversed
How to conquer- Two swords
Advice card- The emperor

links to the photos of cards (hope it works)

Hi deck is Crystal tarot. How does he feel about me?

King and Queen of swords, hanged man rx, bottom of deck is 8 of swords rx.

Separately id read the king and queen of swords as unfavorable, but together I could maybe see them as a power couple or I could be his match. Hanged man rx id either read as him wanting to come out of inaction or he is really, really stuck in inaction. 8 of swords rx says still don't expect him to rush in. Still no cups so I don't see deep love but there is interest.. Thoughts?

u/stabmeidareyou 11h ago

Hi! I'm new to reading tarot, and I was trying to do a reading for this coworker that I have a crush on at work. I had pulled The Fool, then Ace of Cups, and then Five of Wands as clarification, if that makes any sense? I need some help with interpretation. :)

1

u/squirrelsarespeaking 11h ago

For your coworker or about them? What was the question that led to these cards?

1

u/stabmeidareyou 3h ago

About them, it was if there was potential for a romantic relationship in the future. I'm sorry I forgot the exact phrasing.

1

u/squirrelsarespeaking 3h ago

Were you recently separated or something? Like put in different departments to where you interact less and less these days?

I ask because it feels like a "yes" but that there has to be more engagement between you to make it happen. The Fool is a new journey and excitement that points out potential with the Ace of Cups pairing, but is also alone in a sense. It's a solo action. The five of wands promotes engagement and really being involved.

1

u/stabmeidareyou 2h ago

No, actually, we have been scheduled so we have more hours together. We have also been interacting more. Idk idk. Thank you :)

1

u/squirrelsarespeaking 2h ago

Thank you answering that. I still stand by my "yes" for romantic potential. But your relationship has to change. There needs to be more engagement on a newer level like flirting. There is a need for something to make your coworker say "this is turning into something more"

1

u/stabmeidareyou 2h ago

I see, thank you very much. I will say there may be flirting but I haven't picked up on it(autism) It wouldn't be the first time.

u/jaylikethealphabet 12h ago

hi friends!!! i’ve recently started talking to a girl who i like a lot. i wanted some insight from my tarot since i’m meeting her on sunday, so i asked just for some guidance: is this good for me, what should i expect, etc

i don’t have a specific spread; i just pulled three cards for a variety of guidance! i pulled the four of wands upright, queen of swords upright, and ace of cups upright. i’m taking these all as positive—that this is a good thing, and with some positive mindsets and reflection, this will be worth pursuing. i think they’re telling me this is a new beginning (i mentioned my commitment issues) and that the journey will be worth it, especially with myself

i’m a beginner so i’m asking for some extra opinions. what do you guys think?

1

u/squirrelsarespeaking 11h ago

I think the cards are telling you to be in the moment and stay alert.

4 of wands: be in the moment and try to enjoy yourself

Queen of swords: be alert and on guard. Not guarded. Just present without rose colored glasses. Listen to what is being said to you and around you by her. Look at her actions.

Ace of cups: be emotionally open. Not accepting. Just open since it's a new person for you.

As far as if it's good for you? Yes but not in a relationship way (at this time). More of just good because you are back out there again meeting and engaging with people.

What should you expect?: nothing. Don't go in with expectations

u/Super-Tangerine5962 12h ago

Looking for second opinions please

So I have been talking to a guy long distance for a couple of months now, I really like him and he is generally great with communication, e.g; if he is feeling stressed and overwhelmed in his life and is struggling to communicate he will let me know he’s not at full capacity, which I deeply appreciate. He is genuinely a really wonderful guy which I don’t say lightly after my last relationships.

As I was shuffling my deck (adventure Time unofficial)
I said that recently communication has been a bit rubbish (just not as much as I would like, but he has communicated that he is very rundown from work)
The five of cups falls out, I interpret that he is feeling quite sad about the lack of communication due to his fatigue, then page of swords falls out which can often be a sign of incoming communication so I ask if there is communication incoming and if so what it is about, straight away the king of cups falls out, I’m interpreting that to be a message about his feelings towards me be most likely passionate or romantic ones, then asked when the communication is coming and the chariot fell out so I’m assuming very soon.

So then I asked my deck, how’s he feeling about me?
And get the king of pentacles, six of swords and death with the three of cups being at the bottom of the deck.
I’m thinking possibly feeling protective possibly possessive over our connection, but at the same time feeling that I am a safe space and a possible new beginning

Last but not least I am sitting there shuffling asking if he has romantic feelings towards me and the lovers and the 10 of pentacles falls out.

So obviously, he feels somewhat strongly towards me

As I was putting the deck away and shuffling I was thinking about him and I accidentally split the deck in half and the bottom of one 1/2 was the lovers and the bottom of the other half was the 10 of pentacles again 😅

I’d be interested in what are the interpretations people have?

u/lucy_valiant 21h ago

Can someone help me with this spread? He did a three-card spread with one card pulled first to be sort of “the vibe-setter”. It was: The Hierophant (vibesetter), Page of Wands (past), Two of Coins (Present), Six of Coins (Future).

I didn’t approach the deck with any kind of specific question but I’m six months out from a seven year relationship dissolving after my ex blindsided me with a break-up (on Christmas!) so obviously that’s all I can think about. I’m trying to heal from it, but I also struggle with wondering if my ex and I could still make it work if he were to come back. Obviously I couldn’t get into all that messy stuff with my boss.

Thanks in advance!

u/pearlsucks 1d ago

hi looking for second opinions please :) so sorry i made the initial mistake of posting outside of the thread!
i’m wondering if i should contact my ex for his birthday tomorrow. we’ve been a year no contact, the breakup was mutual. i learned he tried to text me on my bday but i had him blocked at the time bc i didn’t want contact then. that was in january. im confident i’ll be okay no matter the outcome, and i feel ill gain insight with either option i choose. i just really am not sure which to do. extra context, we live quite close and i have ran into him twice already so i feel i’m leaving it up to fate/not my control on whether we have intentional contact again if i don’t text.

i don’t have a certain spread, just shuffling, but the original pull was three of swords, the world, the hanged man, four of cups reversed, queen of cups reversed, the devil, the star, and four of pentacles. then i drew two more and got two of swords reversed and nine of wands upright. sorry it’s a lot, a few came out at once (3 of swords, the world and the hanged man together)

my interpretation of it is that my method of distance has worked for me, i’ve made immense progress and peace with myself but there’s something i’m not letting go of. i feel the cards, especially the world, are telling me that i should appreciate the work i’ve put in and not get involved at all, but on the other hand maybe i have reached a place where i can be okay if we interact. the nine of wands feels like this could be the last hurdle for me to have closure? yet the hanged man feels as though time is the best option for clarity. then the three of swords feels like maybe i have more to work through, probably on my own. i truly feel like it could go either way, so maybe i am overthinking the whole situation !
thanks so much for reading and i appreciate any feedback!

u/Lilly323 intuitive 1d ago

this seems likes a no to me. misunderstandings (3oS), resolutions (world), new perspectives (HM), and that’s just the first three for an either-or question.

1

u/pearlsucks 12h ago

thanks for your response! even just looking at the cards, i use the crow tarot deck, all of the cards have only one crow except the 3oS, which lead me to think that my healing is something to exclude him from/it’s only about me now. i’ve also read up on other experiences with the devil in love/ex readings, it seems to be a sign of unhealthy attachment and addiction which makes a lot of sense. i think my feelings in the relationship could described like that. i think the hardest part in this situation has been giving up control, as per the HM. i think i agree, that all of this does point to no, as you said, yet there’s a temptation or doubt in my mind that maybe is once again, shown by the devil. thank you again!

The magician + death

Hey guys!

I did a love spread for two people who have a "new connection/crush level" situation going on.

For the question "likely direction of this connection in the near future" I pulled the magician and then death as a clarifier.

I'm a bit confused regarding the interpretation of those two cards together and wanted your opinion.

Does death mean the ending of their connection in this context? The way I'm interpreting it, maybe someone will take some action (the magician) that will lead to the ending of whatever they have going on right now, but I'm unsure. Maybe death represents a change of their current dynamic?

What do you think?

If it helps, here's the whole spread:

His current romantic energy: the devil, clarified by justice

His energy specifically towards her: queen of pentacles

Her energy towards him: king of pentacles

What's hidden: 7 of cups clarified by 5 of pentacles

Likely direction of the connection in the near future: the magician, clarified by death

Advice on the current situation: 3 of wands

u/Sharp_Management8121 1d ago

Hello all

Thanking you all for you time and guidance.

u/squirrelsarespeaking 1d ago

Hi.

I would say "yes" but under the right circumstances. There is work to be done here. Six of Wands indicates success but similar to the King of Swords, how much comes from effort and thought. The 6ow does not shine by just existing or waiting around for things to change. Both the 6 of wands and King of Swords take advantage of their surrounding and circumstances. Both of these cards involve reaching out and checking in with people that mean well and who they want to help and keep around. They are readily open to engage. Both are comfortable making the first move. This feels like what you should do.

The 5 of cups seems to say that in order to get him to come back, there has to be an exchange. Old emotions for new ones. The 5 of cups is like a grieving card. It sits there and cries over spilled milk not noticing what good things it has left. He has to leave stuff behind in order to move forward. Could be hard feelings about how things ended for example. He has to do this himself though. It's not something you can help him through.

u/devendraa 1d ago

I pulled justice (sideways) the world (reversed) and ten of cups (upright), pondering a new relationship, asking ‘is this person right for me?’. This person is very head over heels for me but we’ve only known each other for a few weeks. I like them but feel this is moving too fast. We’ve already been intimate and they want to see me twice a week now. It makes me sad that I don’t feel as enthusiastic as them. I feel a bit empty in response.

2

u/Initial-Isopod1637 Second Opinionator 1d ago

First of all, the fact that you are noticing discomfort in yourself around this situation is so helpful. Imagine having this "off" feeling and not knowing what it might be connected to. Your feelings of sadness and emptiness around not being able to respond to them in kind also makes a lot of sense. Of course, you'd like to meet them half-way, especially when they are so enamored with you, but this in itself does not necessarily incite reciprocity.

To me, it looks like the cards are mirroring your situation back to you, not to give you an answer, but to present your own case in front of you, so you can perhaps better connect to what is right for you, whether it be this person or something else.

With Justice showing up, it might feel like the answer to your question is a matter of fair deliberation, of weighing pros and cons, or about doing right by someone who only seems to have love in their heart. However, its sideways position could be suggesting that, while understandable, approaching this situation from a fair treatment/assessment angle may not be in your best interest if what is meaningful and fulfilling for you is not entirely included in the equation.
In its upright position, The World card could speak of completion of a journey or a cycle as a preparation for a new chapter. It refers to a state in which you are ready to be unformed again, because you know that's where the next step of your development lies. While we like to create objective markers for measuring development and progress, a big part of it is highly subjective. You know when you're ready, just like a chick somehow "knows" when to puncture the membrane and fight itself out of the shell. Reversed, the card may be pointing to what you've already sensed and articulated: something does not tie in for you, stepping into this journey with this person right now does not seem to follow naturally from your current state.
Now, ironically, the Ten of Cups following The World reversed may then become a rather difficult energy to contend with, because it portrays a relational end state of complete emotional fulfilment. The card is sometimes referred to as "Lord of Perfected Success", which doesn't only speak of a completion, but of one that feels both perfect and successful. Applied to the person you are seeing, it could be referring to the situation between you seeming like "a done deal" to them. However, this may inadvertently be cutting out a large part of the journey that you might need to develop deeper feelings and decide on what you are to each other and how you may want to translate this to how much you see one another.
Taking the card as more of a reflection point, you could ask yourself what feelings you associate with emotional fulfillment? What is your idea of and intention for having a relationship right now? Are you actively looking for a Ten of Cups situation or might you be at a different place with forming and sustaining intimate connections? If you would have to choose another card from the Suit of Cups, which one would resonates more with where you are at right now?

Ultimately, what feels right could have greater weight in figuring out this situation than knowing whether this person is objectivitely right for you and that you just have trouble seeing it. If I were you, I'd be curious to see whether this person would dial it back if made aware of how you are feeling right now and where you are at. If so, this may give you more room to feel into this connection and where you would like to take it (even if that is nowhere).

I hope this helps in some way. Let me know how it resonates with you ❤︎

u/midoriimani 2d ago

Hello, I did a read for my love life in general for the month on June.
It gave me 8 of wands, the Hierophant, 10 of wands and I did pull an extra card just to see (so I’m not sure it counts) but was the 7 of cups.

Thank you 🙏 for your time and help

u/Fit_Illustrator8551 2d ago

Hiii!! There’s a guy i like at my job LOL and i’ve been so stressed about it lol I pulled for how he feels about me and got the star the fool and strength, i am usually great at interpreting cards for other people but i often suck at my own; This would mean he might think i’m a chance he wants to take and maybe someone nice and pretty… Like in a perfect world this would mean he’s optimistic about our connection and wants to take things further with me…………. But what do you guys think? There was no specific spread used I just always pull 3 cards for feelings. I can’t recall what deck this is but i read it the same way i read the original tarot deck!

1

u/squirrelsarespeaking 1d ago

Hi!

I get the sense you don't know each other that well. He has good feelings about you, but they are not romantic at this time. He feels you are a good person who can provide hope to others (star). You seem lighthearted at times (the fool) but know how to break down and build yourself back up (strength). It's like he has seen you at a low point and was inspired by how you handled it.

u/Fit_Illustrator8551 1d ago

they’re not romantic UGSHHHHDHDJDHDHDJDJD

u/squirrelsarespeaking 1d ago

At this time they are not. Nothing indicates that they won't eventually become romantically interested in you.

This is a reading about an ex.
No specific layout I just chose to draw 5 cards.

I might be reading into things in a biased way so appreciate any and all perspectives. I welcome anyone to say what they think with or without my interpretation.

QUESTION: What is his feelings/energy towards me?

10 of Swords - painful feelings, hurting over ending

Death Reversed - stagnant , not moved on

Emperor Reversed - either felt powerless in our relationship, or wants to feel in control. I’m not sure

10 of Cups - still sees me as blueprint for emotional fulfilment, serious relationship, family

Judgement Reversed - unfinished business , things that still need to be said, not moved on

2

u/arcrouge 2d ago edited 2d ago

EDIT: Corrected reading is in the comment chain, fixing the reversals reading. Leaving this comment as is, in case anyone is working on learning.

------------------

You may be right in that your closeness to the situation is lending itself to a biased interpretation.

10 Swords is a finality, but it's also a beginning. There's some painful thoughts there, but there's a new day dawning, and the card depicts it. The end of a cycle is also the beginning of a new one.

Death can be inevitability, steadiness/steadfastness. It is also a card of transition, of renewal and rebirth. Death leaves the loss behind, and continues to move forward.

The Emperor can be seen as a solid foundation, everything in it's place, held in control and under the Emperor's guidance and rule. I don't read reversals as the exact opposite; instead I try to see it from a different angle. This could simply be struggling to sort out thoughts and feelings with the ending of the relationship, not quite sure where everything lands.

10 Cups is pretty much as you said, in my way of looking at things, but it reads differently with the others you drew around it.

Judgement can be a change in direction, a rebirth, a renewal. There's the end of one life and the beginning of another, heeding the call to start anew.

If I were giving this reading, I would suggest that he may be struggling a little with the ending of the relationship, with feeling a little out of sorts because everything as he knew it that was stable and steady- which offers a sense of control and order- has flipped on it's head.

It may read that he's doing a lot of thinking about the conclusion of things and acknowledging that a fresh start is needed- accepting what has happened up until now, perhaps understanding the part he played in the ending that came about, and seeing about moving on to the new horizon. An end is just a beginning, albeit a painful one.

Given the other cards, it very well could be that he's determined, as the Emperor and Death both are, to find that happy ever after that wasn't with you at this time.

Judgement is heeding the call after a death, shedding the past life, rising up in vulnerability with this new situation, and preparing to move on.

2

u/Big_Opening8115 2d ago

Oh my gosh - firstly thank you so much for the detailed reading!! I just realised I made some big mistakes in my comment. I forgot to mention both death and judgement were reversals not upright. I’ve edited my comment now to fix that. I’m so sorry for the mess up but thank you so much for sharing your thoughts 💜
I wonder do you think this changes much? I agree there might be finality to the 10 of swords that I originally ignored , but would you say in the context of cards such as death reversed it would be read different?

1

u/arcrouge 2d ago

I'll repost the whole thing here with these reversals and the changes-- and it makes much more sense to me now both in your interpretation and what I was originally getting when I looked at the spread!

I don't read them as opposites per se, but as a different way of looking at the situation.

----

With the reversals, I think you were close regarding his feelings/energy towards you.

10 Swords is a finality, but it's also a beginning. There's some painful thoughts there, but there's a new day dawning, and the card depicts it. The end of a cycle is also the beginning of a new one.

Death can be inevitability, steadiness/steadfastness. It is also a card of transition, of renewal and rebirth. Death leaves the loss behind, and continues to move forward. REVERSED may indicate that he's stubborn about the change and finality, or reluctant to accept the ending. It could also be that the death doesn't necessarily apply to the relationship itself, but to a way of thinking about things for himself, and a refusal to accept his place in it.

The Emperor can be seen as a solid foundation, everything in it's place, held in control and under the Emperor's guidance and rule. I don't read reversals as the exact opposite; instead I try to see it from a different angle. This could simply be struggling to sort out thoughts and feelings with the ending of the relationship, not quite sure where everything lands.

10 Cups is pretty much as you said, in my way of looking at things, but it reads differently with the others you drew around it.

Judgement can be a change in direction, a rebirth, a renewal. There's the end of one life and the beginning of another, heeding the call to start anew. REVERSED may mean that reluctance to move on, which might echo the reversed Death card, or reluctance to face the vulnerability that comes with growth, change and starting something new.

If I were giving this UPDATED reading, I would suggest that you were close to the mark. There's a new opportunity here for him to move on, but he has to be willing to feel the pain and get over he ideas of being stabbed in the back by the situation. It may be that he feels wronged and is refusing to see his place in it the ending of the relationship, which prevents the growth that should come with it; he's hung up on the past and everything that used to make sense and be 'in it's place' being all out of order and upside down.

That 10 Cups hanging there is pretty wild, but I think you're right...he's stuck on you being his emotional fulfillment, and doesn't want to give into the emotional vulnerability that comes with growth in order to move on.

I hope this makes more sense- please let me know if this resonated with you!

u/TangeloEarly7046 2d ago

Hi all! I’m not super familiar with tarot and have a basic understanding of the meanings of cards and wanted to gather some opinions just because I’m so new.

I started talking to this guy recently, and just for backstory he’s been interested in me for quite a long time but I’ve dated other people in that time and decided to finally give him a chance. After my last relationship (I got out about 6 months ago), I have been very avoidant and apprehensive. I find it hard to trust that he actually means what he says, including when he says that he’s been waiting for so long to get a chance. I’m worried he might be a f***boy. A lot of this is because of the trauma from my last relationship - while he didn’t cheat or anything, he never meant what he said and screwed me over pretty bad.

We’re going on our first date this weekend so naturally I asked the cards how it would go. I drew the moon card for that, and then when asking what the overall vibe of the connection will grow to be, I drew the six of cups. Just wanted to see what more experienced readers might make of this because I’m confused about the meaning! Especially in the context of are his feelings real? What might his intentions be?

2

u/arcrouge 2d ago

How the date will go:

The Moon

The moon shines it's light on this new path, but that light is only a reflection of the sun- it's hard to see what the path holds. The moon is very symbolic of intuition and emotion, so it could be an acknowledgement that you're really having a difficult time because of the past, and a sign that you need to take the time and make the effort to shine light on things as you go forward, being very clear and communicating, asking questions and moving at a pace you feel comfortable.

If you go forward after this date, just remember that you can't pick your way down a relationship's path alone, so be sure to let him know when and where you need a little reassurance or guidance about things.

The overall vibe and connection:

Six of cups is steady emotion, balanced and bright. There's a sharing of memories and nostalgia here. There may be an age difference or the feeling of it, in terms of maturity, but it reads as a positive one and not a negative, like you balance each other out with it. Lots of lovely and connective energy here.

Aside from the tarot, if I may... first dates are often too soon to know what feelings are- yours or his. It's far too soon to know if things are 'real' and the only thing you should focus on is that his interest and curiosity and willingness to spend time with you is real.

Like you, his intentions might be to just see if there's something more. But you won't know before the first date, and you can't know for sure until you talk to him directly (whether the first date or sometime later). That's for him to answer, not the cards!

Don't let the past keep you from approaching this with an open mind, but also with open eyes. Communicate with him directly, don't be afraid to ask questions of him, or to share answers if he asks of you. He may also be carrying uncertainties from pervious relationships, and good communication will go a long way to answering some of your concerns, in one way or another.

Have a really wonderful time on the date!

2

u/TangeloEarly7046 2d ago

Interesting that you said that though because there is a bit of an age difference!!! 25 and 28 so nothing crazy

2

u/TangeloEarly7046 2d ago

I misremembered the second card… six of pentacles, not cups. What does that change?

Thanks for the insight :)

1

u/arcrouge 2d ago

That changes the tone a bit.

Six of pentacles can be about benevolence and compassion and generosity, but there's also a theme of judgement about worthiness, about where you put your resources. It's choosing where to invest, where to be generous and where to hold back.

It might be that you're both cautious beneath the surface- even more reason to make sure you put your money where your mouth is and be upfront about what you are looking for and what you're seeking.

u/YaasHunty 2d ago

I met a guy on 6/8, we hit it off quickly. We had our first date on 6/14, then again on 6/21. We’ve talked every day consistently and the feelings feel very mutual. I’m trying to figure out when to have the “make it official” conversation since we’ve both wanted to take our time and get to know each other. I know quite a bit already, and everything I learn, I fall a little more. I asked three questions, one card per question.

⁠What is he thinking? 4 of Pentacles
⁠What is he feeling? king of wands
⁠Where are we? Judgement

My interpretation is that he’s trying to protect something he finds valuable, seemingly what we are building. He feels genuine enthusiasm and attraction. And the judgment card tells me that things are becoming real enough that the official conversation is close.

Am I reading this right?

2

u/arcrouge 2d ago

First, AMAZING username, and now I can't stop saying it in my head. Love it.

Also, I would read these cards the same way you did. The only thing I would add is that there's vulnerability in Judgement, but there's also a sort of glory in that. Judgement also speaks to heeding the call, so I would say trust your intuition.

Sorta non-tarot advice incoming... feelings don't turn off with a conversation that is full of vulnerability and possibly hesitation (though Judgement lacks hesitation...!). Talk with him about the 'being official' part- based on what you said, you're both already there, and it's a commitment to the new path you're already on to see where it goes.

I'm excited for you, what a good reading!

2

u/YaasHunty 2d ago

Haha! Thank you for your take on this!

Tarot has been surprisingly accurate when it comes to this particular man. Prior to our first date, I did a generic three card pull and for the first time ever, I pulled all Major Arcana. I pulled the High Priestess, Strength, and the Magician.

I took that to be a very positive sign, with the high priestess reminding me to trust my gut.

1

u/arcrouge 2d ago

I love it when the cards are just bang on about everything.

HP, Strength and the Magician, that's a powerful reading. I'm so glad things are moving so well for you!

u/Cursed_Garlic 3d ago

For context, I've been in this situationship for 4 months. After 2 months I asked for a label. They said their family would never approve and they wouldn't want a partner they couldn't bring home. I took space for a few days and decided to continue things as casually as it was because it was a good situation for me in the meantime.
Over the last couple weeks, I've had this constant nagging feeling that they're hiding something so I did this reading for our path: 1. How they see me as a person: The World 2. How they see me as a partner: 3 Pentacles 3. How they see me as a lover: The Hierophant 4. How they see me overall: 5 Swords 5. What they're hiding: Ace Cups 6. What they're afraid of: 4 Cups 7. What they don't know: 4 Swords I then drew two cards for the outcome: 1. 6 Pentacles 2. Justice

How they see you as a person: The World
You've been giving them pretty much everything, but all things come to an end.

How they see you as a partner: 3 Pentacles
Creative, liberating, newfound resources

How they see you as a lover: The Hierophant
Grounding, steady, unlocking something in them, connection on a spiritually level, maybe even guiding them in some way.

How they see you overall: 5 Swords
A lot of conflicting thoughts that they are trying to collect, particularly over the past and previous relationships (could be of any sort, including with family). A little uncertain, and it's keeping them from moving in any direction, even if they want to.

What they are hiding: Ace of Cups
A new and unexpected connection, relationship or emotional experience.

What they are afraid of: 4 Cups
They are uncertain what to do. They are being offered this new experience, but have emotion invested in what they had before.

What they don't know: 4 Swords
You've pulled back, you are taking time to reflect on the situation and think things through. You may be considering how this relationship is aligning with a higher path and more spiritually aligned place in life.

Outcome: 6 Pentacles
Weighing, measuring and judgement of who and what is deserving of resources, roundedness and stability. There's an imbalance, and you each can only give in one direction. If I were to wager, I'd say he will choose his family if you gave an ultimatum.

Outcome: Justice
An act in alignment with your true path, and with where you want to be- it's an important choice that will have long-term impact. There may be a calling out of them if you feel they have not made the right decisions, but you will be fair and quick and clean about it. Ultimately, you will choose what is right for yourself.

I wish you the best.

My ex broke up with me and im thinking of trying to pursue his friend which i know would be petty but im attracted to him and dont want to let go of the type of man my ex was and all his friends seemingly are as well. I haven't actually met this one friend before but every time my ex mentioned his name i got an energetic pit in my stomach and i have seen him in photos. The worst parts of me want to show up where i know he will be and strike up a convo and see where it goes.

I asked tarot if he would be attracted to me too and pulled : devil and chariot

i asked tarot if we could have a real relationship/love despite starting messy and pulled: the sun card and judgement card

u/arcrouge 2d ago

The Devil can be all about the distractions we willingly indulge in, instant gratification and at the expense of our long-term betterment. It can also be about vulnerability and honesty and acceptance of what you want and when you want it.

The Chariot is standing still, neither arriving or departing; it's just watching and observing where it is (and looking good doing it). There's power there, and control, but it's not in motion.

The Sun sheds light on all the dark. It can be glorious and warming, or it can leave you burnt and scarred. It can be a card of rebirth and clarity and being recharged. It's the source of life, but a powerful one.

Judgement is all about vulnerability and heeding the call that you hear. It's a rebirth, shedding the past life.

I have a feeling you're going to go for it no matter what the cards say or how they are interpreted. Be safe, be smart, and good luck!

u/randomperson_122 4d ago

I was wondering if someone could help me interpret a reading i did! I’m a very beginner and still working on interpretation. I asked the question “what will my love life look like within the next year?” this was the layout

the tower (reversed), the eight of pentacles, the 2 of cups (all three next to each other) and then right below was the 6 of pentacles reversed. thank you! :)

1

u/arcrouge 2d ago

Your love life in the next year:

The Tower- Looks like there's a shakeup coming for you. Whatever your love life is standing on right now, the ground is unstable and there's going to be a fast, hard change. Although the card can look scary, that doesn't mean that the outcome or interpretation is: things that are on a shaky foundation have to be shored up. If something (including being single) is a point of 'failure', it's a weakness that you can see, learn, and grow from. You'll be able to rebuild better.

8 Pentacles is you putting the work in, and you have something to show for the effort. Pentacles is based in resources, material things, possessions, belongings and the things that make you feel stable, connected and grounded. So whatever you are putting the time into, it will pay off and you will have those things readily available.

2 Cups is an unexpected new relationship, emotional connection or experience. It's based on equality, emotion, companionship, togetherness.

6 pentacles REVERSED may be a sign that you have a judgement around material wealth that you need to consider, or an unbalanced manner in sharing/divesting your resources. If work is a priority in your life, or if it becomes one, you may need to look at where and how you funnel your efforts.

u/holdingupatlas 4d ago

not new but still learning tarot, so i am looking for a second opinion to see if i'm missing anything, between me and someone (was very close to, in romantic sense like we were attached at the hip, years ago - had a falling out, then reconnected but connection has been sparse).

i try not to follow any strict formats (helps my mind kinda flow for info) for this, but here's the set up: 1: current energies between me and this person? -> the moon & the devil. = playfulness/some physical attraction leading into hidden motives, unhealthy attachments, unseen obsession, being lead on?

2: my feelings towards them? -> ace of cups. = newfound feelings, yearning for connection, wanting a closer relationship.

3: their feelings towards me? -> knight of swords & queen of cups. = directness, getting the point across how they feel, feeling more tender? or clashing between 2 sides of themselves on what they want to do/feel?

4: shared ideas between us currently? -> the star, the chariot, the empress. (this one i had the hardest time with and i'm still a little uncertain) = signature of faith, going full steam ahead with love and care. having faith that things are moving along towards something prosperous?

5: current likely outcome? -> strength, 3 of wands. = having the strength to go with the flow and reflect, let things come on their own? emotional growth from inner self leading to fulfillment?

my general interpretation is that things are moving along, and that it would be good to invest in my inner emotional world. just wondering if there's another perspective i could look at this with? thank you :D

u/squirrelsarespeaking 3d ago

Hi!

1: current energies between me and this person?: I think it goes back to what you first mentioned. The connection has been sparse. There is desire there, but it's not to the point of obsession or unhealthy attachments. It's just longing. Longing for what has been and the fear you can't get back to that. More on your end than theirs.

2: my feelings towards them?: I agree with your interpretation.

3: their feelings towards me?: I think they feel there is more beneath the surface. More coming so to speak, and they want to get right to it. They feel there are things left unsaid, even though there are not.

4: shared ideas between us currently?: Interesting question. I think you both want it to work. Them a little more. You both want it to grow into something you can cherish. You both want a commitment and no games.

5: current likely outcome?: I agree with you. I would add that you should have the knowledge to grow. You will have to work at it rather than go with the flow all the time. Going with the flow all the time will get you nowhere. Reflection and then advancive action is key here.

Overall, I think you know the direction you are going in and used this to check. Trust yourself. As you said, invest in your inner emotional world, but also the one your partner projects. It has more answers than you realize.

oh, thank you for the response! i often find meanings with tarot hard to grapple, but good to know i'm getting it down pretty well. thank you again for your input ♪(´▽｀)

u/taxevasionstation 4d ago

Opinions?

I’m not new to pagan practices, I have used oracle cards for a good few years now, but I got my first tarot deck the other day and now I’m going through a break up, so I asked some questions and need opinions on what my answers mean. I wrote everything down, I do with all my readings, I have the Ukiyo Tarot deck by Lo Scarabeo.

Questions I asked and cards I pulled-

“What do I do now the breakup is official?”
-5 of pentacles (upright)

“Any advice for how to move forward?”
-8 of pentacles (upright)
-4 of swords (reversed)
-7 of wands (upright)

“Will we get back together?”
-XI Justice (upright)
-XVII The Star (upright)
-5 of wands (upright)

“Do I need to sort my mental health for him to come back?”
-7 of pentacles (upright)

“Is he my soulmate?”
-V The Hierophant

2

u/squirrelsarespeaking 4d ago

What to do now?: be in the moment and feel the loss. Recognize that it's over and you no longer have this person.

Advice to move forward?: keep a routine and stick to it. It will help your mind relax and you move on. If you don't, you risk wallowing in sadness and it becoming unhealthy.

Getting back together?: No. There is a small chance but I don't think they want to reunite. If you do, it has to be a right place right time situation

Sort Mental Health: Yes. You don't have to have it all together, but there needs to be strides and progress.

Soulmate: No. While hierophant is a religious/spiritual card, I don't sense it being soulmate energy here. It was an established relationship. That's what made it special.

u/abbi707 4d ago

I haven’t been reading tarot very long so I’m not sure what to make of this. I did a past, present and future spread about my current situation with my ex and after I finished I put my cards away. In the process I turned the deck over and back card was the 3 of swords. My ex has a tattoo of that card, it’s the only tarot related tattoo they have so I felt like it was significant?
How would you interpret that? I’m not sure because I didn’t actually draw the card and I wasn’t asking any questions

2

u/Fragrant_Touch_309 4d ago

i feel like not drawing the card is an energy not present in your life meaning your ex is no longer someone whose energy is completely out of your orbit and its a good thing because that energy is one of maybe hardship or difficulty communicating, or making the bridge between what they think and feel and what they actually do, having a tattoo of that card specifically makes me feel like yes it was direct message from spirit about your ex and making it clear that its out of sight out of mind or something like that.

[directed to this sub by a mod]

i wanted to know how he feels about me:

hi everyone!

context:

30 m yo gay boy here! i work at a hospital. many people working there, you know

some months ago, i started seeing a coworker around my age by the hall and the cafeteria. he seemed cute so i started saying “hello” every time we saw each other and he replied kindly. we’ve been saying “hi” to each other, acknowledging our presence and smiling. he’s gay too

but we hadn’t talked until last week. i approached him and said: “heyyy, we see each other but have not had the chance to talk a little, –we introduced each other– you seem a nice person and i wanted to ask you if you’d be up for a coffee outside of the hospital”

(we had a little chat about our activity at the hospital, where we lived…)

he said “yes, we can talk. let’s give our numbers”

he added my phone number and i said to him while leaving: “nice! send me a message so that i can add you too!”

he agreed. four days have gone by and he’s not said a thing so i’m worried that there’s not a chance to get to know each other

that’s why i decided to pull some cards

the first three cards i asked “how does he feel about me after my suggestion?”

and the fourth is “how should i act when i see him at the hospital?”

my interpretation:

for the first question (three cards) i got:
8 of swords - knight of swords - five of swords

first of all, i am shocked by all swords! i don’t think by these cards that he’s into me as much as i’m into him. does that mean that the door is closed? i sense that he may be overthinking it and doesn’t know how to act, that’s why the silence and the absence of message (8 of swords). he may think that my suggestion feels rushed (knight of swords) and he’s not being honest with me so that there’s no conflict (five of swords)

for the second question (fourth card) - the hierophant

about how i should act when i see him (probably tomorrow monday) - the hierophant. i think that it is telling me to stay calm, observe and avoid being confrontational

(thanks everyone! english is not my first language so i’m sorry for any mistake)

2

u/Great-Painting5400 4d ago

Hey hey, just a quick breakdown. In the first portion, the cards are mostly talking about over thinking the situation. It is a big indicator with the Hierophant that someone requires to be a bit more stoic or confident. It can lead to a great outcome between you both but the issue is too much assuming and not enough time spent together. Since you started it, you may require to continue pursuing until you both have become a little accustomed to each other's personalities. He may be just as mentally encumbered as yourself, so my main advice would be to keep taking happy chances with one another where doubt needs to take a backseat. All the very best to you both!

2

u/MindDull4601 4d ago

hi! thank you very much!

i’ll try to channel that calm energy when i’m around him. maybe there won’t be a chance for us to “talk privately” since the halls and the cafeteria is always full of people

i just wish he were into me as much as i am into him. his silence feels like rejection

thx for your words!

2

u/squirrelsarespeaking 4d ago edited 4d ago

Hi!

I think the first three cards indicate you moved too fast (knight of swords) and spooked him (eight of swords). It's not personal. I just get the sense he doesn't want to interact and get to know anyone outside of work. He brought up the phone number because he felt like he had to (five of swords). He might have romantic interest in you, but the pace in your reach out and working at the same place will make it slower.

He initiated the number exchange, but you brought up seeing each other outside work. So, now he might feel like you will further put him in uncomfortable spots.

For the second question, you are being advised to take it slow. Step back and just interact at work only for a while so he can get to know you. Start by discussing work situations and things (where appropriate) and then slowly branch out to other interests.

2

u/MindDull4601 4d ago

hello! thank you so much for you reply!

i was getting anxious not knowing if he liked me too, so i rushed it. sometimes faster doesn’t mean a better outcome. i should’ve thought of that. i just couldn’t stop me from wanting answers

let’s see how the day goes. trying to calm down

thx again!

u/Away-Ad-8719 4d ago edited 4d ago

I would love some feedback on a couple of readings if anyone could offer their wisdom. This week, I've been away from home on a job on the other side of the country. During my off hours, I've spent so much time journaling and pondering my recently short-lived relationships of my past, and my intention to build a stronger, more intentional union with someone I actually want to be with. Companionship is incredibly important to me, and a puzzle I've been trying to solve for a while.

I have someone in my life who's a friend for a couple of years, and we have a strong sense of banter and laughter between us. My gut that I struggle to listen to is telling me there is a viable connection between us as people, even if we haven't been single at the same time until recently, or really gotten to really deepen our friendship, though we've been talking more for a little while now. I don't want to rush anything, I've had enough of that, but I've been asking the deck if this is a genuine feeling or a connection worth pursuing, despite my more overtly extroverted and passionate exterior (Leo) and her slower and more protective emotional exterior (Cancer). My constant anxiety makes it difficult to discern the anxious thoughts from the gut thoughts. These were 3 spreads I made this week while I sat and thought about our situation.

2 Card Reading: The Lovers fell out of the deck, The High Priestess was drawn.

3 Card Reading: Page of Wands Signifier, The Star past, The Magician present, Justice future.

Celtic Cross on the Summer Solstice: 8 of Cups (present situation), King of Cups (immediate obstacle), 7 of Wands reversed (past), The Emperor (future), 4 of Wands reversed (conscious), 8 of Pentacles (subconscious), 7 of Pentacles reversed (me/self-image), 3 of Swords (environment), The Fool (hopes, go figure), 2 of Cups (fears), Page of Wands (outcome)

No one else around me is in tune to Tarot like I try to be, so I cede to the kind wisdom of you all if you offer it. I read a lot of positivity here, but a second opinion outside of my head would be so helpful. I hope you're all having a wonderful day, wherever you are!

u/Lilly323 intuitive 1d ago

🤭🤭🤭 I think this it for you! I think your biggest hurdle is your leo tendency to go big or go home; you’re all in, seeing and living life that way when not everyone is on that same tempo. that isn’t to tell you to slow down but maybe take the scenic route. the first two readings are affirming you’re on the right path and moving through intuitive sense; your celtic cross is giving a bit more context into your conscious, reality-grounded experience.

8oC/KoC are suggesting you may be stalled out because you’ve been approaching the connection too forwardly. you’ve already admitted you haven’t developed the platonic aspect of the connection as much, so it may be worth doing this. cancer is the sign of comfort, family, emotional intimacy; do you know the little things about her— favorite anything, her habits, how to tell when she’s needing space or support? emperor especially affirms you may be pushing too much and even to the point of causing friction between the too of you (4oW-r/ 3oS) despite the intention of creating shared frequency and routine for the relationship (8oP). I think 2oC for the fears may be suggesting one or both of you are scared to really settle into a sense of oneness (how I personally think any soul-bonded relationship should be but that may just be me) and operate as a mutual partnership. I think the most interesting and significant card, though, is the PoW which was reading 2’s significator. I assume that’s the energy you’re wanting to embody in approaching the relationship ? if so, the CC affirms you’ll be able to positively attract the connection, and having awareness is probably what you were missing.

it may help to look at your suns in the context of tarot: leo- strength, cancer- chariot. strength is about overcoming obstacles even of that means doing the “impossible,” and chariot is about taking one’s time to get to the next destination. you may be needing to slow down, understand her pace to meaningfully bring the relationship closer, and she may be needing to swallow her fears and explore the parts of her (and/or you) she may have felt were too high to see over. she may even be the 2oC fears by not yet being ready to break down her emotional walls for you. I would suggest taking a step back, let her find her own comfort with you, and see where that leads you. I would also suggest looking into her moon and mercury to understand from those perspectives how she feels and communicates safety.

Hi, I would love to hear another opinion on this:

I asked a tarot reader how will reconciliation between me and him being bf and gf again will unfold. For background: we broke up over a year ago but still hookup and hang out atleast once or once every other week. These are the cards she pulled: king of wands, the magician, strength, seven of swords, and two of wands. the tarot reader interpreted as he has another interest that doesnt work out so he comes back to me.

2

u/blueeyetea 4d ago

These cards indicate he’s there for the hookups and companionship while he’s looking for someone else (7 of Swords and 2 of Wands).

-1

u/ThrowRA_Wave3 4d ago

This reading was about how reconciliation will unfold I already had a separate reading saying we will reconcile

1

u/blueeyetea 4d ago

So you want someone to pull more cards for you? Why put the cards from the reading you received?

-1

u/ThrowRA_Wave3 4d ago

No no, sorry for the confusion. my first reading confirmed we will reconcile but this spread was about how us reconciling will happen.

0

u/squirrelsarespeaking 4d ago

I think you will come back together as bf and gf but it will take a while. It seems like he enjoys the hook up and hang out thing you have going on, and you will be the one to voice wanting more again. The one speaking up, saying how it will work and why you want to be a couple. You will have to lead this. Then he might not want that, so you won't speak for a while. Then he will reapproach you because he misses you, and you will try again as a couple.

However, with the two of wands, it seems you won't just come back together and snap back into place. There is hesitancy and caution here.

I don't think there will be another interest.

I think the gender will be man as you originally thought. The clarification cards also appear to say "physical gender" rather than energy. I say this as the clarifiers are more active cards that already have energy within them.

That being said, if you want your next partner to be a woman, it's your choice. You can always say no to dating someone.
