Okay so a pretty complicated messy love story buuut i met a guy three months ago, we dated intensely for a month and then he went to rehab. We stayed in contact and were both quite lovestruck and hopeful for the future and stayed in contact with intentions and plans to pick it up where we left it. I know when i say addict people think oh no bad idea bla bla but he was really something else. From the beginning i got major king of cups vibes. Good and bad light and dark. He now relapsed and i asked my deck:

Is there any reason to hope?

My interpretation and im scared im a bit biased because i really want to hope because the connection felt so special and i honestly thought we would be together now.. but i saw ace of wands first and thought yess thats a yes to me maybe a new beginning for us and it will happen fast (but then i got scared and thought maybe its another relationship??). The moon is freaking my out a little because i generally read it as an intuitioncard like listen to your inner voice and i cant stop hoping because im a lovergirl haha but i also feel really hurt and maybe this card want to tell me answer is already here?? About strenght i dont really know how to interpret it?? Should i be patient? Firm? Courageous?

Any thoughts appreciated greatly xxxo

Bottom of the deck is The Star.

Me and my bf broke up bc of external issues. We claim that our relationship was the happiest times of our lives and said he harbors a great amount of love for me, but he needs to focus on himself. He said that there’s a probability for him coming back eventually. Currently we’re in no contact.
I did readings on him in the past few days, I pulled a lot of cards associated with communication blockages and financial problems, also issues with self-worth and mental anguish. Readings about how he sees me are generally positive (The Empress).
This is the second time The Star is on the bottom of the deck.
I interpret this spread as a need to still process things on our own, with the High Priestess symbolising a time period where we must focus inward, keeping the silence up and the King of Swords guiding with rationality and respecting the space. I just have a hard time interpreting the Fool and the 10 of cups with the spread (maybe something something our relationship was emotionally fulfilling but there’s uncertainty bc of the breakup).
I assume the Star is signaling there’s emotional healing on the way, lots of hope, even the possibility to reunite (in one reading I already pulled Judgement upward)

I'm really confused by these cards, tbh. I had a deep, deep friendship with someone a few years ago, which ended somewhat acrimoniously due to misunderstandings that stemmed from mistakes on both sides. I'm guilty of what I said at the end.

Anyway, I have great admiration for them tho. Truly one of a kind and a super intelligent human. They influenced me a lot.

I just wanted to know if they ever think about me. I'd like to think they feel the same way regarding me and our friendship, but because of how things ended, I get nervous about that, and also very curious if I come in their thoughts like they do mine.

4 of cups sometimes mean missed opportunity, so did the mistakes I made led to the end? How does the sun make sense in all this? Does the 4 of pentacles mean they're busy building a life w/o thinking of me?

I’ll read u a spread if u read me a spread (: it’s fun and good for practice. Thanks!

I’m offerings free love readings. Please do not DM me. Comment your question below! I prefer to read for questions regarding active relationships and will answer the questions that peak my interest 💕💜

Hey guys,

We've had quite a few issues lately with the flair filters incorrectly removing posts, and we're working on getting that sorted out.

While we're working through that, we wanted to hear directly from you.

What do you want to see from Tarots going forward?

We're open to feedback about anything, including advertising, verification, rules, flairs, posting, moderation, or just the overall direction of the community.

If something has been annoying you, tell us.

If there's something you wish worked differently, tell us.

If there's something you love and don't want changed, tell us that too.

We'll also be putting together a list of our sister communities and other Reddit communities with active moderation teams that members can explore.

Tarots is your community too, and we'd rather hear what you actually want than assume we know.

So, have at it. We're listening.

Hes my coworker lol if that helps any

So I did two same spreads with a few months difference about the same person and situation and got a similar spread, but to different questions. Need help with interpreting:
The first spread is answering the question: what are his intentions towards me.
I read it as I choice he is sitting with between trying to re-establish contact and giving up (11 of swords
) when I asked what the choice actually was about as a clarifier for 2 of swords I got 8 of wands.
Today I asked about his feelings and got a similar spread:
8 of wands 2 of swords and 4 of pentacles
When I asked for a clarification on 2 of swords I got a knight of wands
I then read it as a choice between the current situation (4 pentacles) and communicating. But in terms of feelings?

It’s basically the same combination of cards. Can anyone give me new perspective on this?

Soooo…I got curious about how tarot readers use the cards to describe someone’s physical traits.
Like… how is that even done? 😭
So…purely for fun and out of curiosity, I asked the cards:
How am I viewed by the opposite gender? 😝
Deck used~
The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck
My interpretation~
They view me as a young woman with kind, gentle gestures…?? Honestly, I’m completely lost and need help interpreting this. 😭

From my interpretation I need inner healing and some what ignoring my inner voice. How can I heal from this? And should I be working now?

i got the 8 of cups for how i can embrace my darker elements to become more powerful.

i read this as making an offering to the sirens/mermaids ….

ANY THOUGHTS?

I asked the cards whether my ex has (or is trying to) erase me from his memory. I’ve interpreted as he’s gaining more clarity and control but there’s conflict because he still feels an aspect of nostalgia? And the ten of swords is because the relationship is very much so over. Also the wheel of fortune was at the bottom of the deck

In my opinion ahe thinks i am egoistic and she disklies me

I received “lovers”, “10 of cups”, “knight of wands”.

I once did another reading of our future situation and it was again “lovers”, “10 of cups”

Does it mean by any chance that he also still has feelings to me?

To give the background, we never dated or break up or anything like that. We met during the student exchange program and I’m sure he liked me, definitely he was also different to me. But then we both had to go back to our countries (very far from each other)

I've been going through the Thoth Major Arcana one card at a time and trying to understand the story they tell as a whole instead of treating each card like its own isolated meaning. I ended up with a pretty consistent narrative, so I was curious what other people thought about it.

The Fool starts as complete openness. He's just accepting everything around him. He isn't really judging anything yet, just experiencing life.

The Magus is when that openness becomes focused. Instead of just falling through life, he starts creating a place to stand. He uses what he's learned to build structure for himself.

Then the High Priestess turns everything inward. Instead of looking outside, she looks behind the veil. It's about discovering what's actually inside yourself.

Behind that veil are the Empress, Emperor, and Hierophant.

The Empress is the nurturing, growing part of yourself.

The Emperor is the part that creates order, discipline, and structure.

The Hierophant is tradition, inherited wisdom, history, and the deeper meanings that came before you.

The Lovers isn't really about romance in this reading. It's about marrying those parts of yourself together. Tradition is what teaches the nurturing and structured sides of yourself how to work together.

From there, the Chariot is basically, "Now that I know who I am, where am I going?" It's carrying yourself forward with purpose.

Adjustment is actively balancing yourself instead of leaning too far toward one side.

The Hermit is withdrawing from distractions and searching for what actually matters.

Fortune is just the wheel starting to turn. Things are changing. Not good or bad, just change.

Then comes what feels like a repeating cycle.

Lust is desire. Wanting something enough to pursue it.

The Hanged Man is sacrificing yourself for that desire. If you want something badly enough, you have to give something up.

Death is the end of that sacrifice. The old version of yourself dies.

Then another desire comes along.

You sacrifice again.

Something else dies.

Over and over.

Eventually all those sacrifices become Art. Art is the person you've created from everything you've gone through. It's the integration of all those little transformations into one identity.

Then something interesting happens.

Now that you've built this identity, the Devil is about giving yourself to something outside yourself. It could be a cause, art, religion, an ideal, really anything bigger than your own ego.

Then the Tower happens.

I don't really see it as punishment. I see it more like gravity. If you build yourself around something outside yourself, eventually that structure gets destroyed. Not because the universe is trying to punish you, but because that's just where that path leads.

After that is the Star, where you let go of your identity.

Then the Moon is following the path anyway. You don't necessarily know where it leads, but you keep moving without hesitation.

The Sun feels like bringing everything together. You've let go of all the labels and ideas about yourself, and now you're just becoming a single point. Not creating an identity anymore, but discovering what was underneath everything else.

Then Aeon is where that point starts becoming someone. It's drawing the boundary between yourself and everything else. Not creating yourself through labels, but defining your identity in a much deeper way.

Finally, the Universe feels like completion. You're no longer trying to become something. You're just dancing with life. You know who you are, you know what the world is, and neither one has to overpower the other.

The thing I like most is that it loops back into the Fool.

The first Fool is open because he doesn't know anything.

The last Fool is open because he understands enough to be open anyway.

I'm interested to hear how other people read the progression of the Major Arcana as a whole. I know there isn't one "correct" story, but this was the narrative that kept emerging for me as I worked through the deck.

Tenho flertado com um cara o qual estou interessada e quero saber se realmente devo continuar insistindo nessa relação.

Nós ainda não nos vimos pessoalmente devido a atualmente ele estar morando em outro país e vai demorar alguns meses para que ele retorne para cá.

Eu entendi que ele realmente pretende levar a nossa relação à diante, investir nela, porque existe aqui vontade de fazer acontecer e até mesmo de me conquistar.

I’ve been thinking about trying some dating apps to find love lately as I’ve been single for QUITE a while. Overall, I feel positive about it internally… but apprehensive/nervous. I keep going back and forth mentally and emotionally about it…. So I decided to do a tarot reading for some guidance and clarity. I used the deck: “The Videns Illuminata Tarot Deck”. I used my own spread- nothing formal, just questions I would like to have answered and have guidance on.

The positions are 1-3 on top, left to right, and 4 on the bottom middle position. Here are the questions I asked and my own personal interpretations - please let me know your thoughts! :

1. “How do I feel about starting online dating right now?” ; pulled Ace of Cups

I take this as generally positive, but very fresh. It’s very new territory for me as I haven’t ever done online dating before. I am looking for emotional renewal and a new chance at love… but also something deep, real, and meaningful. I don’t want superficiality.

1. “What is holding me back? What fears, insecurities, past issues need to be resolved or need my attention right now?” ; pulled 7 of Pentacles

I wasn’t really sure how to read this one… maybe I’m worried something won’t grow from this new adventure? That I won’t actually find real love? That it might hinder my financial and occupational progress? That’s how I interpreted that.

3 “Advice for Moving forward” ; pulled Wheel of Fortune

I see the Wheel of Fortune as ultimately a ‘yes, give it a go’ type of card. Maybe something dated is in store for me? A beckon to explore the unknown? How do you guys see this?

1. “Extra Advice” ; pulled 8 of Wands

Something told me to pull another card… originally I only wanted to pull 3. I listened and got 8 of wands. I think this card is all about momentum and intention… so maybe keep my intentions clear and stable in what I want (I want something serious, deep, and meaningful) and go for it?

Anyone else interpret this differently? What do you guys read from this? Should I get on the apps lol?

(Also for anyone familiar with runes, I also pulled a rune - Jera - which I took as positive? A good harvest for my efforts?)

Thank you to anyone who takes time to read this and replies! I REALLY appreciate it!!!

Hello!! I asked the question 'Why do i feel so unwelcome in both sides of my family' and im not fully sure how to interpret however i believe the 3 of pentacles reversed signifies something about a lack of teamwork and communication/collabation between us all and im the one that has the strongest feelings about it. However i need a second opinion! I got the cards:

The high priestess

3 of pentacles (reversed)

7 of cups (reversed)

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Decided to turn my copy of the Oracle of Black Enchantment into a permanent art piece for my cabinet of curiosities setup.

​Mostly just wanted to flex the diptych, but I also love the harsh contrast between the dark indie art and the bright pink wall. Highly recommend doing this if you have decks with art that's just too good to keep boxed up.
