How To Read Love Tarot

Always remember the Number One and the Most Important Rule of all: in Love and in War there are no rules. 

You will find 5 Tarot cards below. Turn them and see what you get. 

Then, take a deep breath and let your heart and intuition decide. It is that simple.

The 5-card Tarot spread is based on the American (Rider-Waite) Tarot. The cards are from the original deck published in 1910 – no more, nor less – 110 years old.

Oh, so many hands have shuffled those cards! Oh, so many souls have searched for meaning in their layouts! You are not alone looking for love in their arcane universe. 

Step I. Turn the cards in order to see your love omens for today.  

Step II. You will notice a small message card attached to every tarot card. These messages are called “specific arcanum”. They will help you interpret the meanings of the base tarot cards.

Step III. Click the cards for the second time to get a classic American (Rider-Waite) Tarot explanation of their meanings. 

Step IV. Finally – concentrate for a minute. Look at the cards, then look into your soul, look into the depths of your thoughts and mental connections.  That’s where the real magic of the tarot reading hides. And that’s where you will find the best insights.

SHUFFLE

6 of cups 02

6 OF CUPS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: A card of the past and of memories, looking back, as—for example—on childhood, happiness, enjoyment, but coming rather from the past, things that have vanished. Another reading reverses this, giving new relations, new knowledge, new environment, and then the children are disporting in an unfamiliar precinct.

Additional omen for love: A kiss done right is a terrible force of the sort you’d never imagined, intoxicating to the point of addiction.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: Children in an old garden, their cups filled with flowers.

10 of swords 58

10 OF SWORDS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation. It is not especially a card of violent death.

In this tarot spread the ten of swords has a special meaning for love: The answer is simple: you have to learn to love more than you fear to loose.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: The tarot card shows a prostrate figure, pierced by all the swords belonging to the card.

Knight of wands 54

KNIGHT OF WANDS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.

The meaning for love is clarified by specific arcanum: Something about him tossed off sparks that set your nerves on fire.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: He is shown as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.

The Star 55

THE STAR INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Loss, theft, privation, abandonment. In other circumstances it could also mean hope and bright prospects.

Concerning love, this card is clarified by: Soon enough, she stopped caring who was watching – for a brief time, two of them were a universe of two.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: A great, radiant star of eight rays, surrounded by seven lesser stars—also of eight rays. The female figure in the foreground is entirely naked. Her left knee is on the land and her right foot upon the water. She pours Water of Life from two great ewers, irrigating sea and land. Behind her is rising ground and on the right a shrub or tree, whereon a bird alights. The figure expresses eternal youth and beauty. The star is l’étoile flamboyante, which appears in Masonic symbolism, but has been confused therein. That which the figure communicates to the living scene is the substance of the heavens and the elements. It has been said truly that the mottoes of this card are “Waters of Life freely“ and “Gifts of the Spirit.“

The summary of several tawdry explanations says that it is a card of hope. On other planes it has been certified as immortality and interior light. For the majority of prepared minds, the figure will appear as the type of Truth unveiled, glorious in undying beauty, pouring on the waters of the soul some part and measure of her priceless possession. But she is in reality the Great Mother in the Kabalistic Sephira Binah, which is supernal Understanding, who communicates to the Sephiroth that are below in the measure that they can receive her influx.

3 of swords 35

3 OF SWORDS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion, and all that the design signifies naturally, being too simple and obvious to call for specific enumeration.

The meaning for love is clarified by specific arcanum: You haven’t closed your heart yet.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: Three swords piercing a heart, cloud and rain behind.

This is it for today, traveler.

May the Gods of arcane grant you all your wishes.

May the Love divine be your daily companion.
