r/Tarots

Nobody asked but here I am giving a walk through on one way you can start to answer that question for newbies.

From my perspective, I see this question or theme of this question all over this sub. The first picture is an exaggeration of a spread I'll see for this question. You're asking a yes or no question and pulling way too many cards to get that answered and then posting you're confused. Listen, I am too. I'm a seasoned reader and there's no way I can start to help you deciphering a pile cards for a yes/no question. It's a word salad.

If you're starting with a yes or no question. Pull one card first and interpret that before pulling more.

Second picture I got Two of swords for "do they like me" which is a yes/no question. If we're going with a binary yes/no answer, this is no. But tarot is not that simple. There's a story here. At a high level this is indecision so then I asked "what's blocking them from making a choice" (3rd picture) and got Ace of Swords. This card is confirming the two of swords overthinking. It also might say that this person isn't wanting to see the truth of a situation or thinking clearly about the situation. Notice how there are no cups yet. This person likely isn't listening or considering their emotions in the decision making process.

I then wanted to ask, "what does the immediate future look like if nothing changes with this person" (fourth picture) and got Nine of Cups reversed. Ah we have a cup/emotions now. This tells me emotions are motivating their behaviors but bc they're not being intentional with them, likely they're making impulsive or immediate reward based choices- nine of cups reversed can be excess or empty pursuits/pleasures. If we're thinking in the relationship, this could look like hot/cold behaviors which tbh would make a lot of sense if you're asking if someone likes you. Clearly not enough to commit and be consistent.

I then asked "what would it look like if this person liked me and was consistent" and got the Knight of Cups (fifth picture). This is pretty on the nose (I swear I was just pulling cards randomly). This is a person who makes the effort to check in, express how they're feeling even when things are hard. I then asked, "what's blocking them from doing this" (sixth picture) and got Knight of Pentacles reversed. This could be several things but the overall message here is if they wanted to they would, instead they're prioritizing anything else but growing the relationship.

I then looked at the bottom of the deck for this person's overall energy and intentions and got the Page of Cups reversed (Last picture). It's crazy how direct the cards were for this example spread. This is lack of interest and emotional immaturity high level.

So taking it all in, this person likes you when it's convenient for them but isn't willing or interested in taking this connection to the next level.

Ready made spreads can be easier if you're not yet comfortable coming up with questions as you move through the cards. A three card one I use often for clients:

- What do they think of me

- How do they feel about me

- What are their intentions for our connection

- Bottom of the deck, the person's overall energy in the relationship

You can also:

- Pull a card for your energy and pull a card for their energy and then pull a card in between you two to get the overall dynamic.

There's honestly a ton of ways to start answering this question. I'd be curious to know what other people like to ask for tarot to get this question answered?

i was in a very intense and emotionally draining situationship with an extremely avoidant guy for the last 7-8 months. it ended because he said it won’t work out, he likes being single and wants to focus on his career but was pretty emotionally distraught while ending it.

how i interpret this is page of cups rx means emotional immaturity, difficulty navigating feelings
9 of pentacles clarified by queen of wands: okay im not sure about this. my first instinct was that he is satisfied with the breakup since theres a new attractive woman in his life. my other interpretation is that he is satisfied in his life right now but does see me as an attractive woman who stands out to him.
4 of wands clarified by king of swords: he does see potential for something stable since he feels happy and at home with me but he is being super practical about it instead of letting his emotions take over.
the hierophant clarified by 3 of swords rx: noncommittal, does not want a relationship and is focused on emotional healing

any thoughts?

this is like the 3rd or 4th time im asking about third party(technically not a 3p since we’re broken up now, but im also interested in knowing if he was cheating/distracted by other women while we were together since i get 7 of swords and 7 of cups when i ask about him a LOT) and the first time i got page of swords rx, 7 of cups rx clarified by magician rx and king of cups clarified by 2 of coins rx. next time i got queen of wands, high priestess and king of wands. then one of the cards was moon and i cant remember the rest.

this time i just decided not to read reversals since im super new and it complicates things for me(6 of coins and 2 of swords were reversed).

i think moon indicates deception and hidden secrets so he probably was talking to other girls while he was with me and there’s still someone in his life

6 of pentacles tells me again that while we were together he was probably giving his attention to other girls

2 of swords might mean he is still conflicted about the situation and in a stalemate

Long story short i had an emotional conversation with someone yesterday after a long period of NC. Looking for second interpretations!

I came clean about how i felt about him which makes sense with the 7 of swords. With the Q of S, he sees me as direct and truthful. With the two of wands, there may be uncertainty or hesitation about me or what is next for us, but the three of pentacles shows a mutual respect between us and willingness to work through our problems. The wheel of fortune may indicate that we may rebuild or possibly further communication/clarity.

Any second interpretations are welcomed!

Let me know if you think these names are appropriate!

I did a reading about whether or not my ex would reach out and he definitely did. We talked and didn't really address the break up at all just started chatting casually. I was suspicious because he has definitely been keeping tabs on me (liking/viewing my stories/posts). I asked my friend to do a pendulum reading whether or not he had some bad/ulterior motives to reaching out and whether or not he bad mouthed me to his friends/my ex friends. It swung a soft yes, so I wanted to be certain hence I did a spread.

Ace of Cups Reversed: In general I am a huge people pleaser he was as well so we lowk broke up over miscommunication and him being unable to tell me when things were bothering him and ultimately just let it build up. At the time I was trying to reason it out why things happened the way they did so I looked to my peers for reassurance/validation that I did the best I could. I think this is like trying to tell me to heal myself and not look for validation (?)

Two of Swords: Lowk we talked but he and I haven't addressed what happened since and are just awkwardly chatting like friends

Seven of Wands Reversed: This lowk makes me think like he and I had way too much interference from outside parties when the situation should've been between just he and I

Ultimately, I have no clue whether or not he spoke ill of me. I'm trying to figure out the interpretation of this spread 😭 I will reply to this one with another spread of asking if his intentions of talking to me are of ill intent.

Eu fiz essa leitura ontem, mas acho que como estou abalada emocionalmente minhas tiragens estão me deixando instável.

Pelo que entendi, chegou a hora de partir porque há uma frustração que não tem como voltar atrás. Junto com a carta do mundo, encerrando um ciclo de forma natural.

A carta da torre também fica explícita que é necessário sair da ilusão de um local sólido e seguro, que na verdade não existe segurança nenhuma.

Essa não é a leitura completa que fiz ontem, porque deixei meu caderno de anotações em casa.

Top spread is how he feels towards me. Bottom spread is how he feels towards the third party.
Top spread: I think this spread shows that he still carries feelings for me still? 9 of cups shows that he felt emotional fulfillment in our connection maybe perhaps he may take the decision soon and want to reconcile? Since I know sometimes when judgement shows up in love readings it can mean a good sign of reconciliation.

Bottom spread: Overall I think their connection is not doing so well it seems to be coming to an end soon. He’s reflecting stuff about this connection with the 4 of cups showing up. The connection probably doesn’t feel the same way as it used to before when they first started dating.

I’m reading this as they weren’t in a committed romantic relationship they still had feelings for each other & they definitely had an emotional connection with unresolved issues.

So, I've talked to one of my friends and she said that would be a good idea to ask my recently brought tarot if I had a spiritual mentor, or an ancestor or anything that was guiding me through this journey. I asked the cards two questions, the first one a yes or no question, the one where I've got the seven of wands, which I interpreted as a yes (I mean, the card is literally someone fighting other wands, so it makes sense to me, correct me if I'm wrong). The other question was about the characteristics of this guide, I see a lot of feminine energy (the empress and the queen of wands) and the emperor reinforced the idea of protection, but the other two I could figure out what could mean. Does anyone care to give me a second opinion on this? Thanks!

I asked "am i surrounded by the energy of sports or ancestors who protect me all the time, do they help me out during difficult times?"

And got these cards.

My interpretation, Yes during dark times and depression, where i overthink a lot, or I am in a mental agony, those energies help me to stay strong, fight those negative thoughts and help me achieve clarity.

I'm not sure if I'm right, maybe I am saying "Yes they exist" to cope or something. I started tarrot a week ago.

Help me out, thank you :)

Hey Reddit, so, I'm standing in front of a kind of big decision - I'm not allowed to see my Dog anymore, my ex is holding her away from me. I miss her so, so bad, she's like my daughter. Recently, I thought - if I can't be with her, maybe it's time to help a rescue dog to get a home and place to be safe. In the moment I listened to my Mailbox about a missed call - my dogs beholding ex's employee drove by. I did have asked for a sign what to do in advance. As soon as I was back home, I was asking my cards what to do, get the rescue or go on hoping to see my dog again.

They told my this and my interpretation is to do nothing, don't try to get YOUR dog back actively and don't get a Rescue.

Or did I misinterprete something? I really crave a dog in my life, but don't want to do anything wrong.
