People have been trying to discover the secret to finding the perfect relationship forever. That means people have been looking for relationship advice forever.

That has included me. I’m sure it’s included you. I think, what we both will realize, is that we’ll never find perfection. But we can find what works, work at that, and strive for perfection.

Ever since the first Tarot reader discovered the archetypes in a deck of cards could provide insight into our lives, seekers have come to those of us who practice Tarot to receive relationship advice and learn more about their relationships. I don’t blame you. Who wouldn’t want an objective source to affirm what we know or to discover our joy or acknowledge our grief?

The experience of another person knowing what we’re going through is powerful. Especially when they are in tune with facts that were never shared. To experience the ability to know without knowing is magical. That draws us in and provides legitimacy to the reading.

I’d like to share with you why I use Tarot, what a Tarot reading is, and how Tarot readings work from my perspective. I think that providing this foundation will support your understanding of why Tarot can be so helpful to someone who is working through different stages of a relationship (like we all do). Whether that relationship is romantic, platonic, friendship, or workplace based, all relationships have a human element.

Why I Use Tarot for Relationship Advice

I started using Tarot as game. Then, like most teenagers, I also realized the potential the Tarot had to bring clarity to who liked me or who didn’t and why. And by liked me, I mean, LIKED me. ‘Cause we might want to go together. [Insert yes/no/maybe checkbox memory here…]

As I matured with Tarot I learned that my relationships were surrounding me in ways that weren’t just romantic. I had work relationships. I had spiritual relationships.

Suddenly I learned that I could use the Tarot for understanding all of them. Inspiration had hit. I now had a system that provided insight into my relationships that either confirmed my suspicions or offered insight into people and myself in a way that I wouldn’t have come to on my own. I discovered I love to use Tarot to examine relationships!

What is a Tarot Reading?

So let’s back up for a second. What is this reading I speak of? Let me clarify so you have a base for context.

A Tarot reading with me consists of a question from you, me shuffling the cards from a Tarot deck. Then I choose a spread that is relevant to your question. And as I lay out the cards we begin a discussion.

We’ll talk about how they reveal the current situation and the action items you can take to achieving your goals, and then I follow up to see how you’re doing with your action items. In fact, I’ll share a few of my spreads with you. It might take some of the mystery out of the experience.

How Does Tarot Work?

Tarot works because you and I think it does. Tarot works through practice and skill. So just how does Tarot actually work?

A Tarot reading is a conversation between you and I and an objective deck of cards. We work together to understand your question. I layout cards in a spread and interpret their symbolism.

Then we have a discussion about how to reach your desired outcome. Yes. It’s that simple. All the hard work is on my side.

I study, meditate, blog, practice, seek mastermind groups, discuss ideas and best practices with peers, and invest in my practice so you can have the best experience. I want you to leave your reading feeling like I understood you. Like I heard you. And that you have some homework in actionable items to achieve your goal.

For me, Tarot works because we’re working together. Not because I “saw” that you were going to have a relationship in a few months. No. We’re going to talk about how you can manifest that relationship for yourself.
