Tarot cards are a tool that anyone can use to take a deeper look into different aspects of life. Even with no psychic abilities or spiritual connection, Tarot cards will pose questions and allow you to examine different emotions and dig deeper into various life lessons.

When you do add in a psychic connection, however, the Tarot cards transform from thought-provoking to a transformative source of spiritual guidance. A Tarot love spread, in particular, can illuminate romantic dynamics, emotional blocks, and the energetic bond between you and another person.

Why Use Tarot Cards To Understand Love?

Tarot cards are a phone line to the divine, a translation tool for the energies around you. They can help you tap into messages from spirit guides and your Higher Self.

The future is never set in stone. Free will means you can take control and make a change whenever you want to, but the cards can let you know what lies ahead on the path you’re currently walking, and how to best navigate potential hurdles. Love spread Tarot cards are especially helpful for understanding how present choices, emotional patterns, and unhealed wounds may influence future relationships.

Tarot can provide insight into love by revealing the intentions of a partner, examining the potential connections between personal energies, and showing where you yourself might still need healing or care before you can create the relationship of your dreams.

Deeper clarity can also be found in the Tarot. In particular, a Tarot Psychic or Love Psychic can help interpret these messages with accuracy and nuance, especially when emotions may be clouding your objectivity.

How To Do a Tarot Card Spread for Love

The most important thing to consider when doing a Tarot spread is that each card should be placed with intention. You can do something as simple as pulling three cards each representing a different perspective on a situation, or you could lay them out as past, present, and future. You could also focus on something more complex, where each card placement indicates an element of the whole picture.

Card placements will often answer things like the overall energy of the situation, the biggest challenge ahead, what needs your attention, fears that are holding you back, and what might happen in the future. 

Some common Tarot love spread positions can explore:

• The overall energy of the relationship
• The relationship’s strengths and weaknesses
• Hidden fears or unspoken concerns
• Potential challenges
• Likely futures based off your current path

A Tarot Love Spread

Here is an easy but comprehensive Tarot love spread, designed to offer clarity and insight for a wide variety of situations, making it versatile and powerful for relationships of all kinds.

To start, shuffle the deck well while focusing on your intentions. Think about the relationship you desire, your emotional needs, and the person in question — if there is one.

When it feels right, draw nine cards from the deck and place them down in this order: 

1. At the center, a card to encapsulate the general energy of the relationship. 
2. To the left, one for your partner.
3. To the right, one for yourself.
4. Above, place one card to show what past relationship drama might still be clouding the new relationship
5. Below, place one card to show the potential foundational connection that draws you together.
6. Back to the left, slightly away from the rest of the spread, lay two cards as a group. This will represent the obstacles that you may face, as well as the path through them.
7. Back to the right, slightly away from the rest of the spread, lay the final two cards as a group. This will represent the outcome if you continue on your current path, followed by the outcome if you address the issues and obstacles that may be in your way — a potential best-case scenario.

Love Spread Tarot Card Meanings

When doing a Love Reading, there are cards that indicate harmonious and potentially long-lasting companionship, as well as cards that can spell danger for the future of a couple. Any card can be significant in a love Tarot spread, and the placement of the card will also matter significantly.

A card that deals with betrayal, for example, will mean something very different in a position indicating past hurt and trauma, as opposed to a position indicating intention and future outcomes. The past position may be a sign that this is an emotional block that you need to release, while the future position could be warning you to exercise caution with a person of interest.

Here are some love spread Tarot cards to look out for.

The Lovers

This is a classic card in any Love Reading, and it usually indicates a strong connection. It can potentially indicate lust, attraction, and physicality.

While it is a positive card, its precise meaning will depend on the other cards in the spread, which can determine if it is indicating something more long-lasting or a fiery but brief fling.

Two of Cups

The Two of Cups is often called the soulmate card. The iconography of the classic Rider-Waite deck mirrors that of The Lovers, though this card usually indicates a deeper connection on a soul level.

Ace of Cups

Aces indicate creation and Cups are all about love and emotion, so this is a great card to find in a Love Reading. It can signal the growth of a family, either through childbirth or marriage.

Seven of Swords

This is a card of hidden agendas, lies, and betrayal. It usually indicates that there may be secrets being kept that are still unknown. It can be a reminder to open up and be vulnerable, as well as a warning that all may not be as it seems. 

Three of Swords

Sometimes called the heartbreak card, this card is usually represented by a heart pierced by three sharp swords. This can indicate pain from the past that has not yet been fully resolved, as well as portend heartbreak in the future.

Other Love Spread Tarot Cards

Any card can have significance in a Love Reading, depending on the question put forward, but things to keep an eye out for include:

• Kings and Queens of any suit, as they indicate emotional maturity and stability
• The Emperor and Empress, which together create the heads of a family
• The Star and the Chariot, both of which can indicate a path forward out of a situation that may be less than ideal, as well as a new plan of action.
• The Ten of Pentacles and the Ten of Cups can indicate long-term prosperity and a healthy relationship.
  

Additionally, more challenging cards like the Nine and Ten of Swords, Death, and the Tower can all potentially indicate trouble ahead, either in the form of unresolved issues or major changes on the horizon that must be navigated. That said, even these may not be negative. They can also suggest a need for transformation rather than a permanent loss or ending.

When you do a spread for yourself and pull a complex or misunderstood card of that nature, it is often best to consult a professional Tarot Psychic for a more in-depth interpretation.

How To Use Your Love Tarot Insights

Anyone can tap into the power of the Tarot and use these cards to deepen their understanding of their relationships. However, it takes practice, time, and experience to fully explore and understand the messages that the cards are attempting to share.

If you’re questioning a partner’s intentions, sensing emotional distance, or wanting clarity before committing your heart, connecting with a trusted Love Psychic or Tarot Psychic can provide grounded, unbiased insight.

A professional reading can help you:

• Avoid repeating painful relationship patterns
• Understand what’s truly blocking love
• Make confident decisions aligned with your highest good
