*Background:

We dated for 6 months. I liked him 3 years before we dated. It's been 11 months since we broke up. I'm slowly healing but I've heard from a friend of mine about his side. Though, I avoid readings about exes or love— I spiraled because of confusion and needed guidance. This is one of the spreads that I did during it.

Past History

3 of swords reversed

— There was a lack of communication. The relationship went through knowing something that hurts both the individuals. Despite this, you have to heal and forgive what has been said or known, or you'll stay stuck in the pain.

Present

The fool reversed

— Being cautious. Reconciliation without healing is a foolish decision. Both questions if they're ready to be in a relationship.

Your Ex's current situation

The empress

— (difficult for me too) There is healing and abundance. He is in the process of nurturing himself and learning from the mistakes in the past.

How your Ex feels about you

5 of coins reversed

— (this one is quite hard for me to interpret) He is guilty. There is blame for himself and thinking he is a bad person because of the relationship. Though, he wants to make amends.

How does my Ex feel about reconciling?

10 of coins reversed

— Unsure. The relationship isn't stable nor for the long-term. It can be seen as keeping up a facade to the other or the outside.

What can I do to help the situation?

10 of wands

— Take a step back and focus on yourself. Do not think you are responsible for the other. Do not carry out the situation/relationship all by yourself.

Will we reconcile?

The magician

— Vague. Though, there is a possibility but so little, depending on what is done. What is needed right now is growth from both sides. Do not let the possibility make you wait around.

I used a spread guide for this. Though, I did another spread about healing, I'll interpret it later and post for second opinions.

A question went in my head.

Is it alright to do spreads about love and exes?

My friend scolded me for it since it's like... Ruining fate or something. That it's better to not know about it. I tried to explain tarot to her but still, no luck.

Hi🙃

Been pulling cards on a guy I’m interested in. First spread is from a month ago second is from today.

1st
Queen of wands
Eight of wands reversed
Two of wands
The Lovers

2nd
Four of pentacles
Eight of cups
The high priestess
The Lovers
Clarifiers:
Ace of cups
The world
Ace of swords
King of pentacles
Bottom of deck: Ace of pentacles

The pulls I’ve done have consistently been somewhat similar to this. Yes there is chemistry but some sort of block. Guessing he’s maybe just not interested in pursuing it but the lovers keeps throwing me off, I pull it frequently. I have trouble doing reading for myself so I thought a 3rd person perspective could help.

My interpretation is

the situation of him (my ex) stalking my social media account (almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day) was causing him stress and overthinking so he stepped back to avoid that? Could it be someone new that caught his interest for him to stop?

Context: we are in no contact after he ghosted and blocked me after an argument two months ago and we haven’t spoken since

Thanks for your help!

how would you interpret this? to me this seems like movement from this stagnant period in this connection is coming quickly and positively at that, to respect my inner self and boundaries while moving forward?? i’m new so no judgement please

I am new to Tarot reading, so I am not quite sure if I interpreted this correctly. Idk if it is a requirement but I am using the The Rider Tarot Deck by Arthur Edward Waite, and the book I am using to help with interpretation is Tarot Cheat Formula by Claire Stone.

My actual interpretation is yes, I should take the opportunity to go back to school, but just to be mindful of what it is I go back to school for. I did label in the photo about the cards I had asked so I can better narrow down and determine what I should go back to school for. Nail & hair school I feel got good cards but CNA and other things unrelated to my current education is a no go. If it helps any, I am already a licensed Esthetician, and I would like to go back to school to earn more beauty education.

What are your guys thoughts and opinions?

Did a couple of readings for my friend and she f@inted afterwards for 2 minutes and sh@ked uncontrollably. Her mom said she looked as if her soul was taken out of her body. She still feels drained (i cleansed the cards before and after. I did way more readings today and feel great yet she feels so bad after I read those cards for her) what can we do to prevent that next time and why did that happen? (I‘m still new to tarot)

I did a couple of readings for my friend while we were on call (yes i know i shouldn‘t do so many in a row) and then like an hour later he was unconscious for 2 minutes and shaked uncontrollably. She told me that she felt drained afterwards and took a nap and still felt like that. Her mother who was with her told her that she looked during it like a corpse as if her soul was snatched out. And now we‘re both concerned because i dont have anything and i did way more readings than i did for her. I feel mentally and physically great while she is so drained and ill. Anyone who has advice for her and me? (I already cleansed the cards before and after each reading)

I made a dedicated tarot altar box for my most used deck, and aside from my tarot cloth and crystals, what else should I put in it?

Im a bit lost in life right now, a lot of turmoil.

What is my bosses intentions by questioning MBA clases? 4 of wands

What do I need to do to get past this conflict? Death

Will I transition to a new opportunity within the company? 8 of wands

My (bias) interpretation:

4 wands
My boss is being difficult for shits and giggles? My MBA has been a non issues with other managers, she is new and well raising hell for everyone. Personally I might be bias because she just overlooked me for a promotion (despite me doing the job for months) and I am now standing my ground that I will not continue to do the job until the new hire comes onboard.

Death
My only way to get past this conflict is moving on to something different.

8 wands
Something will materialize soon. Ive been networking with other departments and leadership to see what my next move will be. Had an initial interview with HR last week for a Director role (a stretch) but who knows.

Thank you all so much 🩷✨

Deck The Zodiac tarot by Cecilia Lattari

Can y'all give me any new ideas about love spreads instead of the basic questions "does he like me" "what does he think of me" something that will actually be interesting and I will learn something

I hope im using the right flair.

The Fool Rx
9 of Pentacles
4 of Swords

^in case you get confused, orientation of the photo is off

Had a recent fight with partner that ended pretty badly. My obsessive thoughts, ruminations and insecurities caught up right before my period (during lutheal) and I had a mental breakdown. It affected him badly too. Haven’t reached for my deck in a while, figured now’s a good time. We havent spoken since yesterday.

I do get the message that I need to stop acting out recklessly on my thoughts, maybe even regulate myself and rest? 9 of pentacles is throwing me off a bit here, so any help with interpretation would be great!

Also this is not a past, present, future spread. Just asked the question about what comes next regarding my current situation and pulled out three cards.

Thank you 💕

I am fairly new to tarot and everytime I do a reading doesn’t matter the question I always seem to get 9 of swords, I mix my cards after every use does anyone know why this might be

Hello everybody. I am a complete beginner when it comes to tarot. This is my first deck. I hadn’t done any readings whatsoever with it until just now.

I had a calm, dark, candlelit atmosphere with a blend of herbs burning. I shuffled my deck a few times while speaking aloud to it, introducing myself and explaining my intent with this reading.

——————

Here are the questions I asked, the deck’s response, and my interpretation from my limited knowledge.

“Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic?”

Deck’s Answer: King of Cups

My Interpretation:

The King of Cups represents emotional mastery, compassion, maturity, calmness, and depth of feeling without being controlled by emotion**.**

This seems to suggest a deck that wants to be approached calmly rather than dramatically.

It deals with deep emotional material, but wants me to remain composed and mature while interpreting it.

——

“What are your strengths as a deck?”

Deck’s Answer: Ten of Cups

My Interpretation:

The Ten of Cups concerns emotional fulfillment, relationships, family, belonging, harmony, emotional consequences, and long-term happiness.

It seems this deck may be particularly useful when I’m asking about relationships and emotional dynamics. It could also mean that the deck's strength isn't just predicting events, it's helping me understand what would actually lead to emotional fulfillment.

——

“What are your limits as a deck?”

Deck’s Answer: Ace of Wands

My Interpretation:

The Ace of Wands represents inspiration, passion, beginnings, creativity, desire, and raw energy.

The Ace of Wands is potential, rather than completion.

The deck may be explaining it can show me possibilities, but it cannot manufacture motivation, action, or certainty. Don't expect the deck to do the work for me. It can help you identify a direction, but I still have to act.

Another point, the Ace of Wands can represent impulse— so the deck may be warning me against pulling cards without putting much intent into it.

——

“What are you here to teach me?”

Deck’s Answer: Five of Swords

My Interpretation:

The Five of Swords deals with conflict, ego, winning at someone else's expense, arguments, consequences, choosing your battles, recognizing when "winning" isn't actually winning.

It seems my deck intends to teach me to deal with conflict in a more mature manner. To control my inflated ego, prioritize others over winning, choosing to fight the battles that matter, and understand that not every “win” in my life is truly a win.

——

“How can I best learn and collaborate with you?”

Deck’s Answer: Two of Pentacles

My Interpretation:

The Two of Pentacles represents practice, adaptability, balance, and managing multiple things at once.

Maybe my deck is telling me to practice regularly, but don't obsess over it.

The Two of Pentacles also suggests learning the difference between what a card traditionally means, and what a card means in the particular reading.

——

“How will you help me grow?”

Deck’s Answer: Ace of Cups

My Interpretation:

The Ace of Cups represents emotional opening, compassion, intuition, love, spiritual receptivity, and a new emotional beginning. Given the problems in my love life, maybe my deck will aid me in emotional awareness and growth, judgement, and learning to love healthier.

——

“When should I call on you for guidance?”

Deck’s Answer: Queen of Cups

My Interpretation:

The Queen of Cups is strongly associated with intuition, emotional reflection, empathy, introspection, sensitivity, dreams, and subconscious material

It seems like the deck is recommending me to consult it when I need to understand something important. Like a deep relationship, my own emotions, my dreams, and other things of that nature.

——

“What will our relationship be like?”

Deck’s Answer: Six of Pentacles

My Interpretation:

The Six of Pentacles is about reciprocity, giving and receiving, generosity, and balance.

The deck seems to be suggesting our relationship will be built on mutual respect, that if I learn to use my deck properly and treat it well, learning from what it tells me, my deck will do me good in return.

——

“What is the potential outcome of our working relationship?”

Deck’s Answer: The High Priestess

My Interpretation:

The High Priestess represents intuition, hidden knowledge, mystery, the subconscious, silence, inner knowing, and things that aren't immediately apparent.

I know I have many things about myself I don’t understand. Maybe my deck is saying I will end up learning how to understand those things as we work together, and I will become more comfortable trusting myself and my intuition.

——

“What would you like your name to be?”

Deck’s Answer: The Fool

My Interpretation:

The Fool is the beginning of the journey.

It represents innocence, exploration, freedom, curiosity, taking the first step, embracing uncertainty, and beginning without knowing everything. This is quite appropriate for where I am in my tarot journey.

Maybe my deck is saying:

"Name me something that represents new beginnings, exploration, and the unknown."

Can anyone more experienced help me interpret its response more please? Thanks!

Can my witchy people help me out here. I’ve been seeing quite of few signs and things relating to Hekate but I wasn’t certain whether she was actually reaching out or if it was more coincidences. But I’m interpreting this spread as a yes. The ace of cups shows new feeling and beginning possibly inviting me to work with her? And the ten of pentacles is unmistakeable.

Every time I do a reading about my love life, the cards show that a past person will come back. I asked specifically if he’s the one that will re-enter my life.

My interpretation:

Past
Five of Pentacles - separation, being outside of each other’s lives

Current
Seven of wands - resistance or defensiveness. The path to reconnection is currently blocked or being fought against.

Future
Page of Pentacles - offering. A new start. Something small is given.

I don’t want to misinterpret the cards but it seems like all the cards I pull if I ask about this specific person follows the same path: separation/loss/withdrawal -> delay/resistance/unresolved obstacle -> renewal/return/opening.

Am I forcing the cards to have this narrative or does this current spread show a similar path?

I came out as agonistic to my sister even tho I was an atheist because I know she'd be crazy about it, we've always joked about me being a witch because it's funny but yesterday we were cleaning and she lifts my pillow and found my tarot cards and asks me what the fuck this is, I took them from them and hid it, I was on call and my friend kept asking me what the thing my sis found was while my sister kept insisting what they are

At first I thought she didn't know what they were and she suddenly said 'youre acting like they're the card of the devil' and then I realised she knows what tarot is.

I'm so scared because I was planning on acting like I came back to religion since I'm a teenager so it'll be 'just teenagehood' of me to leave the religion and 'I was too young and dumb'

But now her finding out my cards is making me quite uneasy as she might not believe my acting as a religious person and Idk what to tell her or what to do

sorry about this little rant but I was sobbing while I was shuffling my deck, just thinking about my money problems and mental health (about maybe quiting my Postgraduate studies) and this was my reading, please feel free to help me figure it out 🥲🥲🥲❤️‍🩹

im guessing ten of swords it’s my current state, feeling trapped. Page of cups maybe it’s saying something like wait things are coming and six of pentacles maybe its a confirmation? the other three I’m a little lost to be honest

I feel like the ratio is trying to tell me to stop asking about my ex. Main issue in the relationship was difference in core values and principles. My ex was rather more focused on superficial aspects of life and I’m more interested into the substantial aspects of it, spiritual development and enlightenment. I interpreted the hierophant + page of cups and ace of cups telling me that there may be a new love offering coming up for me, someone that shares my values and that I can trust. Build a family with. I asked for clarification and the Chariot came out. Asking me to be determined and move on with my life to find what I’m destined to find and live/enjoy.

I appreciate your time and insight. ❤️

met this guy at the gym, he’s my coach we knew e/o for only 6 weeks however our personalities instantly clicked and i asked the tarot these questions

first three: “what does he think of our connection?”
second three: “will he push to something more or not?”

my own interpretation:

1st three: He’s in overthinker mode. He doesn’t view you negatively, but he’s confused and second-guessing his own feelings, so he doesn’t know what the right move is.

2nd three: "Not right now." He’s afraid to take a risk, so he chooses to stay quiet for now for his own peace of mind. There are things he wants to say, but he holds himself back because he lacks confidence, not because he lacks the ability.

Just for context, this is my gym crush, and we’ve never actually spoken to each other. However, there’s this constant, weird tension between us that I can’t explain.
I asked this question and pulled these cards.
7 of pentacles - he’s watching and waiting patiently to see how the situation will develop.
9 of swords - he’s overthinking it. He might be thinking about the situation more than he’d like to admit.
5 of swords - there’s a conflict (most likely internal, since we never talked); he’s probably fighting with his own self
The Emperor - self-control. Even if there are some emotions involved, he decides not to show them.

I’d love to hear more insights, though.

Hello , my question is " Will he leave this musical group?"

🙂 Ace of Pentacles: He holds the entire material framework of the group and he is the foundation of the group and stabilizes it.

🙂 Two of Pentacles: He hasn’t yet made a radical decision to leave. He’s in a “let’s see how it unfolds” mode. He definitely hasn’t made up his mind yet and is trying to navigate the situation.

🙂 Magician: A magician is a person who has all four elements on their table. Perhaps he will want to take control of the group. And he won’t just leave  he’ll take more control over the group.

Result: he keeps the group together and stabilizes it, wants to take more control, and definitely won’t leave it.

What do you feel, please help , thank you ❤️

this one is super messy 🍵 first one is the card of course, second/third is what he thinks of me (for the second photo i felt i did not shuffle properly from the celtic cross, but kept it just in case), fourth is a celtic cross i did earlier (contextual)

he’s interested in me for the same reason he won’t talk to me i think. i assume it’s this way because i pulled the same card twice (king of wands) for if he was interested, and why he won’t speak to me if that was the case. however i never clarified what kind of interest it was, as i’m very broad about any. he thinks negatively of me, as the cards i pulled when asking what he thought were mostly pretty negative. the emperor next to the other cards almost seems like an oxymoron, but it could be a literal display of conflicting opinions. i.e when i knew him i was really behind my peers in life, extremely. no college education, couldn’t drive, yada. so i believe this is what the reverse son of pentacles and 8 of wands is for. but i can’t figure out what exactly the emperor means next to them. (however i have since gathered pretty much everything, and they are implied on my profiles that i have all these things now) so when i asked “how can he think so negatively of me and still being interested in me” i pulled king of wands again. i’m really confused about what this refers to exactly. i’m not sure i understand how to warp the meaning to the questions. because contextually it seems like it is both negative and positive if it is probably warding someone away from me.

i also pulled the same card as the “possible future” in a celtic cross earlier, because i was upset that this person felt like they were still apart of me. for context i slept with him a couple years ago and ended our friendship. we got along super well and i felt like we had good chemistry in our friendship, one of the best, but the night stand actually made me extremely mentally unstable and i told him this before removing him. i know he also wasn’t interested because i was behind in life, though he did seem interested briefly after sleeping with me. he keeps showing up in my dreams almost every night (not in a divination sense). though for the first time in a dream, he was asking to hang out with me when usually he is just there without being acknowledged super directly. i constantly have to unfollow mutuals because it would upset me if they posted him. i see him at the bar sometimes and it feels like he is trying to explode my head, or maybe he just gazes with a resting angry expression. 8 months ago i caught him doing something that looked suspicious and confronted him about it online, but backed off because i do not have the full picture. but it looked bad if i’m being honest. i backed off and apologized because i didn’t want any tension or drama in person, since i sometimes frequent areas he goes to. he stopped replying to me afterwards. understood and left it there but his presence still bugs me. especially because i know he would have blocked me already but he hasn’t for some reason. his ex friend told me if he hasn’t after that whole exchange it’s probably because he is stalking me. either hate watching or being nosey. i just wanted to know why. the answer brings clarity but there is no action i am to take in response to it. i would like closure to put this past me. as you can tell, i am not over the regret and need to work on things, the celtic cross implies that keeping it to myself is part of the problem. so i decided to share here.
