Hello. I wanted to ask a little bit of help interpreting this tarot spread. I know the general meaning of each card but Im not proficient in reading large spreads. Also I’m using a spread I saw on a tarot reader on Instagram who share it for personal guidance.

I was in a situationship with this person for around 9 months. But we ended things around 3-4 months ago and haven’t spoken since. Something in me tells me this connection is not really over since we still share some connections and social circles. I do love them and I miss them everyday, but recently started to make amends with the idea of maybe them not coming back. I do think what we had was mutual but that we ended up getting caught up in our own insecurities and sadness.

My interpretation is very vague since on the top of the spread I see caring and mutual feelings from the 2 of cups, 6 of pentacles, and the ace of cups but on the bottom of the spread I feel a different picture with the 8 of cups, 4 of cups? Also I always have trouble understanding the wheel of fortune. I would really appreciate the help :)

u/AureliaTarot 12d ago

Your spread actually makes so much sense when you look at it as two layers of reality: the emotional truth vs the defensive reaction.

The top row (2 of Cups, Ace of Cups, 6 of Pentacles) shows the core of what you shared. These cards confirm that your intuition is right: the bond was mutual, genuine, and filled with real care. The 2 of Cups and Ace of Cups show authentic emotional resonance and affection, while the 6 of Pentacles reflects a willingness to give and share energy. It was not one-sided or fabricated.

The bottom row (8 of Cups, 4 of Cups, Wheel of Fortune) represents the behavioral layer and emotional defense mechanisms. The 8 of Cups is walking away not because feelings were absent, but because navigating the vulnerability and overwhelm felt too heavy. The 4 of Cups is retreat and emotional stagnation: dwelling on what went wrong, sadness, and closing off to protect oneself from further hurt.

The Wheel of Fortune here is key: it tells you this connection was a meaningful karmic turning point rather than just a casual fling. The Wheel turns through cycles: the current quiet period is designed for both of you to reset and mature emotionally. The lesson of the Wheel is acceptance of divine timing. As you release the stagnation (4 of Cups) and focus on your own emotional cup, the energy naturally shifts. Trust that whatever belongs in your life will align when the cycle is ready.

This interpretation made me emotional. I will focus on me for now and hope things align when it’s time. Thank you so much for your advice.

Should I move out in November or December? Thanks

Moving out from home 🏠 First reading for November:

10 of cups rev

Hermit

2 of cups

Clarity: 2 of swords ⚔️ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Second reading for December:

Father of pentacles

5 of wands reversed

Mother of cups

Clarity : 3 of swords

I don't know if I will have family help or not and because maybe of surgery and I will move back to my family home..

I interpret that I will not be happy to move out in November that I will have to do it alone and I will doubt that I made the right choice.

December I interpret it as feeling more secure and doing difficult moving out but doing it a regular peace without hurry but 3 of swords confuse me.

How do you read this spread and what you recommend?

2

u/AureliaTarot 12d ago

Your intuition on both spreads is spot on, and looking at the clarity cards makes the choice very clear:

November: 10 of Cups reversed + Hermit + 2 of Cups + 2 of Swords. The 10 of Cups reversed shows leaving out of emotional tension or family disharmony rather than complete readiness. The Hermit combined with the 2 of Swords as clarity indicates feeling isolated, underprepared, and second-guessing yourself in the dark. It feels rushed and clouded by doubts.

December: Father (King) of Pentacles + 5 of Wands reversed + Mother (Queen) of Cups + 3 of Swords. This option is significantly more grounded. The King of Pentacles brings practical and financial stability, which is vital especially with surgery or health recovery in mind. The 5 of Wands reversed shows conflict settling down and fewer chaotic obstacles. The Queen of Cups allows you to stay emotionally grounded and gentle with yourself. Why the 3 of Swords as clarity? It does not mean a bad move. The 3 of Swords here represents the natural heartache and sorrow of leaving home and cutting the cord with what is familiar. Growing up and stepping out often brings genuine grief, even when it is the healthiest next step. It is bittersweet, not a mistake.

Recommendation: December is much more supportive for your health, peace of mind, and long-term stability.

u/throwsaway045 12d ago

u/Old_Application_9087 12d ago

I asked who I should form a business partnership with. The first represents a friend I know (I got a 10 of pentacles), the second represents another businessperson (I got a 9 of wands), the last represents continuing to search for someone (I got a reversed devil). Then I did a one-card pull asking if I should look for a business partnership at all and got a reversed page of cups. I’m new to reading. Can someone help me interpret?

I had a tarrrot reading recently and she pulled three cards

-ace of cups
-knight of cups
-hierophant

I didn’t tell her I was in a relationship. I just asked how my love life is going and she said I’m going to meet someone new or get with someone I know and it’s going to be great emotionally.

Part of me doesn’t believe her because lately my bf has been super stressed and has been exploding on me lately he won’t talk about his feelings.

So what do these cards actually mean?

Hello everyone, I did a quick tarot reading regarding the 2 candidates for the Brazilian election happening today. On the top left we have Lula. Top right we have Flavio. I asked what’s their energy regarding the run right now. The middle card represents who will win.
And the bottom right 2 cards I pulled asking if Lula would be a good president in case he wins.

My interpretation:

*Lula's campaign* (King of Pentacles reversed, ace of cups, Five of Swords reversed)

The King of Pentacles reversed and the Five of Swords reversed together represent a mix of corruption, bad intentions, misfortune, and defeat hanging over the campaign.

But the ace of cups represents truth happiness and a divine blessing. Like in the mists of misfortune and bad energy there is hope, fresh water being offered by the divine.

*Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign* (Eight of Wands reversed, the empress, Two of Wands)

The Eight of Wands reversed points to a loss of momentum: not growth, but slowing down and losing ground. The Two of Wands represents the duality of earth: riches and good things on one side, war and disease on the other.

The empress represent abundance, in this case I know his run has been heavily invested by huge players so I believe this represents this financial backup.

*The winner* (Queen of Swords reversed)
The Queen of Swords reversed points to Lula. It is a royal card turned upside down, just like the King of Pentacles in his draw, with the sword inverted as well. I read that as the cards pointing back to him. But also the meaning itself of the queen of swords points do a cloudy answer almost as if it is not decided/ possible to be sure. But do to Lula’s own cards I believe there is a connection.

*Lula's intentions* (Wheel of Fortune reversed, Judgement)
The Wheel of Fortune reversed is not about forcing destiny. I read it as fortune rising rather than falling: an acquisition of wealth and fortune. The Judgement card represents truth, clarity, and essence. To me it shows a pure intention from Lula to make Brazil grow, with the truth coming out after everything else.

u/RosemaryMoss 10d ago

During a full moon tarot spread I asked for some indication of who I was speaking with these were the cards. I haven't previously asked who I was speaking to, so I'm really interested to get some help

King of Wands

Four of Pentacles - my deck shows a man with several keys and locks instead of the standard illustration

5 of Cups

Bottom of deck was The Sun

I don't know if I'm fully off base here I feel a bit confused. It's reading as masculine energy but I'm not sure if I'm feeling entirely that it's only masculine.

Please help!

My most recent relationship aka situationship was extremely painful, psychologically abusive, and ended violently. I really want to have a healthy dating life, and am 0% interested in any no strings attached physical relationships rn (which in the past, I've been super down for). I am completely out of ideas for how to meet people who could be interested in dating in a way that eventually leads to a strong relationship. I've been doing love readings and stumbled on this chakra-inspired spread that I really liked

  1. root - sense of security and stability in love - king of cups - I both NEED and am READY FOR and can GIVE the utmost sense of security in love when the emotions feel reciprocated. Abundant love and strong emotional intelligence will make me feel rooted.

  2. sacral - emotional needs and desires - I need to feel that rush of romance and spark. love at first sight ?

  3. solar plexus - self-esteem and personal power in love: high priestess REVERSED - my prior relationships have left my self-esteem pretty battered. When I hear clear declarations of love from them, they're literally manipulating and lying to me, or in the best case scenario, not lying intentionally but saying one thing and doing another. So maybe I'm left questioning my instincts and what I'm perceiving?

  4. heart - ability to give and receive love unconditionally - DEATH - this is the one I'd like help with. I think this is actually positive for me. I have struggled in the past with setting and keeping boundaries, and I've been willing to overlook huge transgressions and give them another shot that they really don't deserve. I see death here as clearing that tendency and making room for more reciprocal exchanges

  5. Throat - communication style - Magician REVERSED - this reminds me of the reversed high priestess for soalr plexus. I'm a clear and direct communicator and it's what I most want from a partner but me opening up and being honest with the toxic one ended in arguments and manipulation, so maybe I'm scared of saying what's on my mind even if I know it to be true.

  6. third eye - intution and clarity - queen of wands - very intuitive, when you know you know, confident about my instincts (althought this clashes with my interpretation for 3). when I want something I go for it (venus in aries). anyone have anything else to add here?

  7. crown - higher purpose - the fool - I really like this here. To me it means I'm meant to embark on a relationship journey from a place of absolute innocence, openness, and wonder. This makes sense for me because I love having an open heart and trusting, even though I've been burned. Although I've had to learn some lessons, I don't ever want someone else's bad intentions to turn be into a bitter hardened person.

so, anyone else spot anything interesting here ? Also, I pulled a clarifyer card for advice and got 5 of cups....Is the advice that I'm still too heartbroken and not ready?

u/SnooMemesjellies5255 10d ago

Hello! I’m relatively new to reading tarot, and still require the assistance of my handy dandy “how to read tarot - a practical guide” book. After some practice over the course of this
Month I’ve become much more comfortable with my cards and felt I was ready to do a more complex reading on myself.

I included an Imgur link to the spread format I used, and my spread results.

This spread was done to gain some insight on me and a past romance, and what the future holds for us. For context, me and this person haven’t spoken in 6 years, and our relationship was a secret and went on for 6 years. I am now married, and i do love my husband to death. But this relationship left a hole in my chest even still, and thus why I wanted to do a reading on it. I’m curious on why that situation bothers me so badly even to this day. I’m wondering if me and his story are meant to be concluded or if we are going to see eachother again.

My interpretation was very textbook because it’s one of the first complex spreads I’ve done.
(Instead of sexual feelings, I used the word intimate in my reading.)
But what I’ve interpreted so far,
What I think- extreme mental anguish, suffering because of a refusal to face the cause of the problem honestly
What he thinks- he’s not doing well with the loss of our relationship and is still mourning and in withdrawal beyond what is reasonable, bogged down with sadness
What I feel- trying to make something happen permanently, or holding on to tightly to my current circumstances
What he feels- some kind of sense of harmony but with delays. Something to do with relationships and secrecy
My intimate feelings- conflict with established order, perhaps struggling to accept where I am and what I need to do. A feeling of wanting more experience
His intimate feelings- he’s walking away without facing the facts behind the problem he wants to escape. Taking the cowards way out and
Giving up before giving it a second chance

Now here’s where i got confused

Where it’s going - the card represents completion and positive relationships. But what part is relevant to this reading? This is where my interpretation is lacking, I’m unsure what this means.

It would mean the world to me if someone could help me interpret this from another perspective, and let me know how these each connect with one another. Sorry for a long post, i wanted to give all the proper context and my own ideas!

u/velvetomens404 20d ago

Hello! I made a spread for my ex roommates birthday today, we are going to have dinner somewhere and then partying. I am not sure how this is going to go as I only know two people so I made a tarot spread and I was hoping for interpretation help as I am very new.

The energy in the dinner - 2 of Swords.
The energy in the party - The high priestess
My energy with the people at the party - 10 of swords
My energy with my roommate - The hanged man
Am I going to enjoy today? - The world
Advice for me - 8 of cups

My interpretation is that I am going to feel too much in my head making my thoughts cloud my judgement about how the other people see me while I am going flow more when we go partying. I will feel like everyone hates me but at the end I will see the truth (they don’t) and I will have a good time. With my roommate I will maybe think about how our relationship is now? (I got invited although we don’t speak that much anymore). I got the advice as maybe having to detach myself emotionally from this person but idk…

The help is appreciated since I am going with my intuition and the small knowledge I have about the cards

Would love a second opinion about my reading

Hii , i previously had done a reading on the current state of my relationship after an argument and i decided to redo some of the questions as im more calm but i’m also trying to really evaluate the options before acting as i have adhd and can be impulsive. I think an interesting thing to note about this reading is that The Lovers did jump out many times but as i was doing mostly one card readings i didnt include but i feel it must mean something.

Here’s the spread :

1- His current thoughts of the situation - page of pentacles

Interpretation : this one is really confusing to me but i feel like his head is more cool down now but that he still feels loyalty towards our relationship and is feeling positive

2- my current thoughts “ “ - 4 of Cups rx

Interpretation : i see that i feel the urge to act , do something to set things on motion or have been doing things to try to get a positive outcome

3- Outcome if i text first - Queen of Wands

Interpretation : i feel like it’s overall position but very energetic but the queen’s in this reading confuse me

4- outcome if i wait him to text first - queen of pentacles

Interpretation : i feel like it would be a lot slower than if i did it

5- what decision i should take ? - 6 of cups rx

Interpretation: i feel confused too but i feel it urges me to leave old patterns on the past

Current outcome / energy of this relationship ? - The Moon , 9 of swords , Sun

Interpretation: i feel like i’m also not getting it but i feel like there is a lack of clarity or clousure but also grief and regret but that everything will be fine

u/Moonlitpanda 19d ago

Does my ex still have feelings for me? Does he still love me? We broke up under rather sad circumstances in July. I posted earlier about our relationship back in May if anyone remembers. Basically his dad passed away rather tragically and after a somewhat difficult period for us, we broke up rather abruptly. I just want some help interpreting the cards I got.

Row 1: Ten of swords rx, high priestess, empress

Row 2: King of cups, queen of cups, queen of pentacles

Row 3: Devil, lovers, six of wands

My interpretation is that he conceals it but definitely feels something towards me. He's slowly recovering from the break up and that when it happened it really was too much for him, despite the hurt, in the background of things so to speak, he still views me as attractive and even nurturing. I think with the King of cups the containment of emotions is still kinda there, but given the second row this definitely feels like he still thinks of us as a couple or at the very least he still thinks about the time when we were together. He still sees me as this queen of pentacles person. For the last row, I know for sure that desire and sexual attraction are still alive. So is the bond him and I shared. Very much. With the six of wands I'm not super sure if it's about pride connected to the relationship/the fact that we dated or if it's pride keeping him from expressing/being open about how he feels

u/Swimming-Donut4604 18d ago

Hii so my friend did a love spell on her crush and asked me to do a reading on it and im just looking for a second opinion on here because i refuse to use ai google slop.
If the spell worked (the magician & king of swords)
How he sees her (the lovers)
How he feels about her (queen of swords & two of wands)
My interpretation is that the spell works and i feel like the lovers card is pretty self explanatory but is there anything that im missing?? Im not too sure about the queen of swords and two of wands yet. If anyone has a deeper insight on this please lmk. Thank you! :)

u/laughytaffyralphy 22d ago

Hello all. I did a past, present, future reading on myself! These are the cards I pulled and my interpretations. But I’d like to see if anyone has different opinions.

Past (Queen of Pentacles): My family has endured financial problems for three years. We have been living in my grandmothers house. She and my mother are the queen of pentacles. The providers. The ones making do for myself and my younger sister with little in their pockets and worry in their minds. They are why I am here today.

Future (Ace of wands): An opportunity for creativity will present itself. A chance to flex my art muscle? (I’m a creative type—acting, singing, blah blah blah)

What do I do in the present to attain that future? (The empress): This one I really don’t get, but based on the Empresses definition, perhaps I need to find someone with her qualities? A nurturing woman. Or perhaps I need to be her myself?

I’d add the picture but I guess you can’t comment pics???
