For centuries, people have shuffled, drawn, and read tarot cards in hopes of divination and gleaning insight into their past, present, and future.
The oldest surviving set of tarot cards, the Visconti-Sforza deck, dates to 16th-century Italy.
But the tarot was really adopted for fortune-telling purposes in France around 1780 – and hit in 1909 – when Libra mystic Arthur Edward Waite commissioned Pamela Colman Smith, AKA Pixie, to illustrate the Waite-Smith widespread and very popular. Rider-Waite Deck.
In relation to astrology, each zodiac sign has a corresponding card in the Major Arcana – read more about the stars and their cards here.
Fans of tarot reading believe that the cards hold the key to predicting and understanding major life events, be it turmoil, fortune, or the random turmoil of love itself.
With an increase of over 5,000% in tarot searches over the past year, Antonella, professional astrologer and forecaster at Psychic World, is ready with her hand on deck to offer her love tarot insights.
Which cards predict the best and worst outcome for your love life? Read on to learn more.
Lovers
It wouldn’t be love without The Lovers card. This major arcana card is a huge power player and shows an intense connection.
Antonella adds: “When this card is drawn, it can suggest that a decision needs to be made in your love life.”
She warns you to proceed with caution as your choices around or within your relationship are of paramount importance: “This card also raises the question of what love means to you; for some it’s commitment, for others it’s freedom.”
The Lovers card also covers the territory of self-love. When drawn upside down, it can indicate low self-esteem or a relationship in which one party gives more than it receives, an imbalance that portends inconsistency and disaster.
The Two Cups
The Two of Cups symbolizes unity, harmony, abundance and a hearty cheer between soulmates, a casual card for those in or seeking love.
Antonella explains: “If you’re single, this card could suggest that blossoming romance is in your future or a deep connection with someone close to you. If you are in a relationship, it indicates a harmonious, balanced and loving relationship with mutual respect between both parties.”
I can dig.
However, Anotella points out that if the Two of Cups is reversed, the cups remain empty, indicating that you may be taking your relationships for granted, failing to put in or put in the work necessary to strengthen your relationship.
Additionally, an inverted Two of Cups can be an indication of an unbalanced relationship marred by arguments and feelings of resentment.
Ten of Cups
Another cup card, the Ten of Cups, is synonymous with stable ground and peaceful energy, suggesting that the love you have or will soon find is built on a solid foundation.
Antonella shares: “This is the kind of love that will last a lifetime! The love from this relationship will be complementary, happy and harmonious. It’s definitely one of the best cards to pull when you’re wondering about your romantic compatibility.”
However, when the Ten of Cups is drawn upside down, the good fortune has run out. Reversed, the card suggests a deep mismatch in values between romantic partners and/or destabilizing external forces that make it difficult for the relationship to take root.
