So many people come to the Tarot for advice and predictions on their love life. I find love readings to be an incredible opportunity for transformation and healing and today I’ll share some of my about reading the Tarot for love and romance.

This is a longer post with 3 separate videos. Here’s what we’ll cover:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

In Part 3 I will be discussing expectations and sharing a new Tarot Spread for the lessons we face in our relationships.

The card images I share in this post are from The Modern Love Tarot and the video uses the Bad Bitches Tarot and the Bonefire Tarot, however, you can apply this to any deck.

As with everything that I share, take what resonates with you and leave the rest.

Soul Mates: Can I have a tracking number, please?

Many questions from people are framed around finding the ‘one’ or their soulmate or their twin flame. In a nutshell, a soulmate can be seen as someone who is a perfect match for you romantically and a twin flame is someone who is a reflection of who you are. Both of these connections usually come with a sense of immediate bond and recognition and can be intense. These two connections are totally different kinds of relationships but are often desired by people who are seeking love.

I believe we can have more than one soul mate because they may be fulfilling different soul contracts or agreements with us. I believe that there is no real such thing as the ‘one’ in that there is never just one person. As we shift and change and grow, our ‘one’ may change too, whether that means we are in a relationship with them and are evolving with them, or moving and expanding so our one moves. For example: I was totally in love with the person I was in my first serious relationship. We were together for 5 years. He was the ‘one’ for me at that time. He wouldn’t be now.

Again, this is how I see things. The person you are reading cards for also has their own way of looking at these concepts. Keep that in mind. I will often mention how I see love when I am reading the cards. Why? Because I get so many emails from clients worried that they have missed out on true love because the one somehow got lost in the mail.

On a spiritual level, I don’t believe that and I want to empower people to build and co-create the life they desire, so before I even start shuffling for them, I want to let them know that their reading is going to be about helping them find the one that is right for them and for the kind of relationship they are desiring, rather than praying on their fears that they missed out. (More about that in other parts of this series.)

Tarot Cards for Romantic Love

I believe that all Tarot cards have something to teach us about love and have messages of love. If romance and love are your subject and context, you can read each card within that context. This is one of the reasons I wrote my Modern Love Tarot and Bad Bitches Tarot guidebooks the way I did.

There are however cards and card combinations that are some of my key cards that I look for in a romance reading. They are the cards that indicate to me that my client is on the right track in finding love.

A little obvious right? Obvious can be good. While The Lovers has many meanings outside of getting it on, it’s a good sign in romance readings.

Major Arcana cards have so much weight in a reading I always pay attention to the cards that surround The Lovers. You can find out a lot about the future of the relationship with the cards that are around this one. Court cards next to this card often tell me about the Lover that is coming into my client’s life.

I usually see this card as more of a self-love card. Most of the time when this card comes up in a reading, it is like a sign from the universe that now is a really good time to start getting out there and meeting people. Aces are potential.

They are the gift from the universe that we need to act on so that manifests in our hot little hands, or in this case, our sexy pants! It’s the time when we feel good about love and optimistic about our suitors.

It’s also the honeymoon period of love; where you can’t keep those sexy pants on, and go off the grid for a while.

I see this card as the true love and near perfect compatibility card. I actually would rather see this card come up for a client over The Lovers. Scandalous!

There is a reason for this.  Lovers come and go, but with a true connection, sharing of space and commitment, the Two of Cups can really go the distance. The Two of Cups shows that there is a genuine back and forth of love and affection. There is also not an Angel melding like we see in a number of The Lovers cards.

If you are looking for love, marriage or long term commitment, cohabitation, family and just general all-around emotional fulfillment, this is the card you want to see. It’s a wonderful card for committed love and a happy relationship. The feeling of togetherness is strong, and there are smiles all around!

It’s also a great sign for new relationships as it indicates there are mutual feelings of interest and potential for things to go well.

A hot date, or five! A new love adventure and a new suitor. This is the Romantic in my court card archetypes, so whenever this hot little number shows up in a love reading, someone is about to get romanced!

There is also the possibility for love to happen or the cementing of an existing love. The both of you may be swimming in fantasies about one another.
