Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards for a while now, mostly just for fun and self-reflection. But lately, I’ve been curious about using them to get some insight into my relationships – not just romantic ones, but friendships and family connections too.
I did some digging online for a good “relationship Tarot spread,” and honestly, a lot of them were either super complicated or felt kinda… cheesy. I wanted something simple, straightforward, and, you know, actually helpful.
So, I kinda cobbled together my own spread based on a few different ones I saw. I just wanted to get to the heart of it, and keep clear what I wanna find out.
The Reading
First up, I cleared my space, lit a candle (because, why not?), and shuffled my deck while focusing on the specific relationship I wanted to explore. In this case, it was my relationship with my best friend, Sarah. We’ve been a bit distant lately, and I wanted to see if I could get some clarity on what’s going on.
- Card 1: Me in the Relationship. This card is supposed to represent my role, my energy, and my approach to the relationship right now.
- Card 2: The Other Person (Sarah, in this case). Same deal – her role, energy, and approach.
- Card 3: The Relationship Dynamic. This one’s about the overall vibe, the connection (or lack thereof) between us.
- Card 4: A Challenge or Obstacle. What might be getting in the way of a healthy, happy connection.
- Card 5: Advice or Action to Take. Some guidance on how to move forward in a positive way.
I laid out the cards, and, I’m not gonna lie, my heart was pounding a little. It always feels a bit vulnerable, putting your questions out there to the universe like this.
I am not going to interpret cards, since it is not my role. But I just pull them out and put them down on the table, and then I am done with it.
Honestly, the reading was pretty spot-on. It felt like I could understand something from it, and I felt more peace and power to take the action.
Anyway, I’m really happy with how this little experiment turned out. It’s definitely a spread I’ll be using again – it’s simple, flexible, and seems to get right to the point. I think it’s a great tool, no matter what kind of relationship you’re curious about, and helps to provide a good guide.
