Tarot Reading for Love
When you want to find out about your love life, one of the best things you can do is get a tarot card reading. This can help you to understand what you are feeling and how much you love the person that you are with. If you are single or in a relationship, the tarot cards can help you to have a clear mind when it comes to love and romance. You can ask yes or no questions about your love life, but you can also ask open ended questions for a more detailed reading.
Keeping Notes
Before you ever begin pulling the cards, get your journal out. Write down everything that has happened up to this point in your relationship and then write the cards down that you pull. As your relationship changes, you can see what the tarot cards are telling you. Always keep a clear mind when you are doing a reading.
Clear your cards and make sure your area is cleansed and that you are cleansing yourself and meditating before you do your own love reading. Write down questions that you want to ask so that you can get clear answers. Look at the reasons that you are seeking love and be open to answer questions about this. Don’t keep pulling different cards if you don’t get the answer you like, or this will cause you to get confused. It is better to know the truth than to get an answer that you want to hear.

Broken Heart Spread
This is a spread that can help to heal your broken heart. As you pull a tarot card, put it in the middle. Do this three times for a three-card lineup. The card will show you how to move on and you can choose to be clearer when you pull more cards. You should pull the card that is going to bring healing last.
The third card is the healing card. Under it, put a clarifying card. Before you look at the clarifying card, you need to know the meaning of the healing card. You can use the pictures to help you interpret it.
Angel cards and oracle cards are good to add to the tarot spread in this situation. They can help to clarify what your tarot cards are saying in the matter of love. It isn’t always easy to see bad news when doing a spread but when you are doing a reading, be open to what the cards tell you.
You can use things with your cards such as crystals, essential oils or other things that can help to center you before doing a tarot reading.
Are They The Right Partner Spread?
The Lovers card has to be found and put down. This will guide the other cards and will stay at the top of the spread. This is the soulmate card, and it is good to have the energy of this card when you ask questions about love.
Shuffle the cards while your eyes are closed and focus on what you want to know. Split the deck in half and only pull the cards from the top and pull two of them from each pile. The answer will be on the bottom of the pile from whichever you are feeling drawn to pull a card from there. Don’t judge what is said and what you are revealed. You will understand the meaning at some point even if you don’t right now.
How Do They Feel About You Tarot Spread?
When you are looking for a time, it can be hard to get the reading that you want. But when you want to know how someone feels about you, you can pull three cards and then put the meanings together. The best way of finding the answer is to shuffle the cards and keep pulling until you get a court card. The first court card that you will tell how they feel about you. If it’s the Queen of Swords, for example, they will see you as a strong person, but the Knight of Wands will tell you that they want a non-committed relationship with you, but they might also want to be a friend with benefits.
Doing a Love Tarot Spread
There are different kinds of tarot spreads that you can use. It depends on what kind of relationship questions you have.
How Many Cards Do You Pull?
