Tarot Tarot Spreads
What an exciting time for utilizing divination tools such as Tarot cards. Today's climate and style yields a paucity of time for focus and harmonizing with things we love and want for ourselves. There are some tools, however, when practiced with sincerity, that wield a dual purpose of both aligning us (helping us focus and harmonize) with what we want most for ourselves and supplying us with radar snapshots of where our attitudinal/emotional tillers are steering us. An upcoming Love Tarot spread is one such tool.
Below, I will highlight a variety of superbly accurate and simple "Future Love" Tarot spreads. These Tarot spreads range from brief to comprehensive, and they are reusable (that is, they are designed to be done daily with minimal danger of over-questioning the topic). Additionally, I will explain how the highlighted Tarot spreads when practiced correctly will actually polarize the querent, which is hopefully you, and thusly expedite the manifestation of the romance they are forecasting.
Finding Love Tarot Spread
The Tarot is the perfect GPS for getting a clear view of what is coming next, especially a future love, by showing us our dominant emotional attitudes and inner landscapes (whether we are aware of them or not). Our emotional attitudes align us with what's next, and our circumstances merely reflect where our inner landscapes have been. Would a "Future Partner Tarot Spread" show you with whom you are on a collision course? Yes. How about a "Future Love Life Tarot Spread"? Yes. Same thing. Quick and easy.
Variety of Love Tarot Spreads
When it comes to finding love relationship tarot spreads, there's a wonderful spectrum ranging from elegant simplicity to illuminating complexity. The basic three card relationship spread offers straightforward insights, while the five card cross relationship spread provides deeper exploration of potential connections. For those seeking comprehensive guidance, the spread compendium offers numerous options adaptable to your specific needs.
What makes these finding new love tarot spreads so powerful is their ability to reveal not just potential romantic prospects but also how you might manifest a soulmate through your own energy and actions. Whether you choose the heart opener tarot spread for emotional clarity or the more comprehensive lovers spread from the luminous spirit tarot tradition, each layout offers unique perspectives on your romantic future.
Personal Relationships with Love
Tarot spreads aren't limited to exploring romantic connections with others – they're equally powerful for examining your relationship with love itself. A simple self-love tarot spread can reveal how you perceive love, where you might be blocking it, and how to nurture a healthier relationship with yourself first.
By keeping a tarot journal or tarot workbook to track your readings, you'll begin noticing patterns in how you approach relationships. Are you seeking validation through romance? Are you truly open to receiving love? These personal revelations often prove more valuable than interpreting the cards' meanings about specific individuals.
Practical Tips for Love Preparation
Preparing for love requires more than just wishful thinking. Use tarot spreads to identify concrete actions for creating space in your dating lives for new connections:
-
Set clear intentions before each reading about what guidance you seek
-
Use the heart opener tarot spread to address emotional barriers
-
Schedule regular readings to track your progress and maintain focus
-
Balance tarot insights with practical dating actions
-
Remember that tarot offers possibilities, not guarantees
By approaching love tarot readings as a tool for self-improvement rather than just prediction, you're actively participating in creating your romantic future.
Keep Your Future Love Tarot Reading Concise and Accurate
There are many admonitions, both old and new, that one cannot read for one's self, especially with a Tarot reading focused on romantic relationships. This is subjective. Tarot is a tool, a venue for receiving insight from that Divine part of you: the Inner-You that loves you more than you love yourself. Rather than quibble the admonitions, and before we look at the superbly effective love life Tarot spreads I want you to see, I need you to look at two quick guard railings that will keep your Tarot readings concise and accurate:
Keep the "My Future Love Tarot Spreads" simple. Use four Tarot cards at the most. Why? Less resistance and opportunity to overthink or clutter the subject with juxtapositioned thought. The short and simple axiom makes it easy to use Tarot spreads as a GPS that you can check daily or for quick spot-checks.
Ditch the rose-colored glasses, the dark-colored glasses, the any-colored glasses when doing the Tarot reading. Be neutral. Happy neutral: "What is my alignment now?" is the attitude you want to have when drawing the cards. Neutral and curious you.
Below are examples of different two-card, three-card, and four-card spreads that have proven to be supremely helpful when one is wanting an upcoming love Tarot reading for an outlook or a spot-check on the next romantic relationship. Provided are pictures showing my suggestion for the spread layouts, and a numbered legend for each spread denoting the attributes assigned to each card position. All Tarot spreads can be laid out horizontally as I illustrate below, or vertically if you prefer, the outcome will be the same.
3 Card Future Love Tarot Spread
This is an action spread; consultative with an emphasis on action taken or to be taken. Whether you have a partner or not, this Tarot spread is for someone wanting their next romantic relationship to hurry up and get here, short-term or long-term. It features a heavy emphasis on lots of natural harmony and commonality. This Tarot spread is interesting because it will show you what you are doing right, and what to focus upon to speed up your next romantic relationship. But when this spread is done with sincerity, it not only forecasts future love for the querent, which is you, but the process of doing the spread causes what the old Yogis would call the Chemical Wedding.
The Chemical Wedding is the perfect union of creative will or power (male) with wisdom (female) to produce pure love. For you, the querent, this means doing this spread not only speeds up the arrival of next romance. It aligns you with the most complete and balanced partner, a "knock your socks off" kind of romance.
Card Number 1: What I am doing now to attract my next romantic relationship? This card points to what you are doing right, and what you want to build on and do more of.
Card Number 2: What can I do now to be more loving to myself? This is pretty obvious. If you want someone else to love you, pile on the self-love. This card will encourage piling on heaps of self-love.
Card Number 3: What can I do now to further actualize my style of expressing love? There are different styles of giving and expressing love. I know each one of us would love to be a 3rd degree blackbelt in the art of giving love. Giving love is an art of reason. Reason means practice and improvement. This card inspires said practice and improvement.
Two Card Future Romance Tarot Spread
This next Tarot spread is a predictive spread. A fun spread for forecasting a summer romance. Some romance thrills us, charms us, creates memories with us, then introduces us to ourselves from a state-of-mind happier far. Is this a "Where Is my Next Lover Tarot Spread"? Not quite, but close.
Card Number 1: Am I ready? Are you? Are your personal affairs in order? Can you go out this weekend? Is your car clean? Does your current lifestyle have room for another? Do you have plenty to share or are you looking to be distracted?
Card Number 2: How will you meet, or have you already met? Watch for cards that imply routine and routine action. Sure as heck, it will be someone built into your circle of influence. If you see cards reflecting self-love in action, i.e., The Empress, Eight and Nine of Pentacles, you will meet or have already met this person doing one of your hobbies or favorite activities.
Identifying Future Lovers Tarot Spread
When seeking insights about a future love, it's natural to wonder about their characteristics and qualities. The luminous spirit tarot tradition offers powerful tools for revealing the attributes in a lover who will truly complement your journey.
Four Card Future Lover Identity Spread
This spread is specifically designed to reveal the identity or persona of potential lovers who may enter your life:
Card Number 1: What essential qualities will my future lover embody? This reveals core personality traits and values.
Card Number 2: How will this person's general disposition complement my own? This shows how your energies will interact.
Card Number 3: What unexpected attribute will surprise me about this future love? This highlights qualities you may not expect but will appreciate.
Card Number 4: How will this connection influence my romantic life? This shows how a healthy relationship evolves with this person.
Record these insights in your tarot journal to recognize these qualities when they appear in someone new. Remember that these cards reveal energetic patterns rather than specific physical traits – focus on the essence rather than exact details.
Four Card Future Soulmate Tarot Spread
This is a life-partner collision spread. Do not use this spread if you are a serial monogamist or polyamorous. If you resonate with the Johnny Cash/June Carter type of forever love, this is you.
Card Number 1: What am I doing now to align with the soulmate I see for myself? This card points to what you are doing right so you can build on it.
Card Number 2: What aspects and strengths am I not seeing or utilizing to help me align with the soulmate I see for myself? Most people work so hard to stay grounded and humble it sometimes causes us to dim our light just to make other people comfortable. This card will help rectify that.
Card Number 3: What pattern can I release to expedite the collision with my soulmate? Jealousy and envy are two examples of patterns that will hold you back.
Card Number 4: What character strength or attitude of mine is really going to stand out as attractive to my soulmate? This card will point to how you can push the right buttons in a positive way.
Meeting New People Tarot Spread
Finding new connections isn't just about destiny – it's about creating opportunities and recognizing potential. This spread helps you identify where and how you might meet new romantic interests.
Three Card Meeting Someone New Spread
This spread focuses on the dynamics of new encounters and uses the law of attraction principles to manifest a soulmate:
Card Number 1: Where am I most likely to meet new people with romantic potential? This card reveals environments or activities conducive to meaningful connections.
Card Number 2: How can I best present myself to attract a new lover? This shows energies to embody when socializing.
Card Number 3: What will the potential of relationship be with the next person I connect with? This provides insight into the new relationship tarot spread of possibilities.
Case Study: The Coffee Shop Connection
One of my clients, Jessica, used this spread regularly for three weeks. The cards consistently showed The Page of Cups (new emotional opportunities) and The World (completion and new beginnings) in positions 1 and 2. She interpreted this as suggesting open-hearted conversations in places she frequented regularly.
Jessica began visiting her local coffee shop more often, bringing a book rather than staring at her phone. Within a month, she met Michael, who asked about her book. Their conversation revealed numerous shared interests, and their connection has flourished into a meaningful relationship – exactly as her tarot love reading suggested might happen.
This example shows how tarot spreads can guide us toward actions that create opportunities rather than just predicting fixed outcomes. Your tarot reader is a guide, but you must take inspired action.
Four Card New Romance Tarot Spread
The final spread I would like to introduce is ideal for one who may or may not be in a relationship already but wants new romance. Short or long-term, you are not sure yet and you will decide when it happens. Sort of like, I want romance, and I am not sure what kind yet, but I want romance. Now.
This spread is not only predictive and consultative, just doing this spread will polarize you into an ambiance that attracts love. Want love and attention delivered to your feet on a daily basis? Do this spread each morning and your point of attraction will inundate you with people and situations you've wanted to see for the longest time.
Card Number 1: Where or how can I be more patient with myself? This card is of the utmost importance. How we treat ourselves when nobody is watching is something others can detect, and it often trains them on how to treat us. Are you a bully to yourself? Do you take yourself for granted? Are you hard on yourself because things sometimes don't manifest quickly enough? The ambiance of how you treat yourself in secret is detectable and will train others on how to treat you.
Card Number 2: Where and how can I be kinder to myself? You cannot ask yourself this question often enough. The truth is, you are more important than anyone has ever told you.
Card Number 3: What is one of the many things I bring or do that inspires and uplifts others? The truth is, we do our best rising by lifting others.
Card Number 4: What is something new to love about myself that I haven't given much appreciation too? This one is important because you have been tough on yourself for years and it hasn't gotten you anything.
Even if you have love and romance and don't want more, I hope you will try the spread that I just shared above. It truly is my favorite Tarot spread. These days with life so busy there is often a paucity of focus, and without focus it is difficult to consciously harmonize. Just doing this Tarot spread harmonizes you with love, especially romantic love.
Love Blockage Tarot Spread
Sometimes the barriers to love aren't external but reside within us. This spread from the emerald lotus divination tradition helps identify why your future love is blocked and provides guidance for clearing these obstacles.
Five Card Love Blockage Spread
Card Number 1: What actions am I taking that block love from entering my life? This reveals behaviors you may not realize are pushing love away.
Card Number 2: What thoughts or beliefs are limiting my romantic potential? This highlights mental patterns creating resistance.
Card Number 3: What environment or situations am I creating that repel potential partners? This shows external circumstances within your control.
Card Number 4: What emotional patterns are preventing deeper connections? This reveals feelings that create barriers.
Card Number 5: What unforeseen factors should I be aware of regarding my love blockages? This provides additional insight beyond your conscious awareness.
This spread is particularly powerful when done during the waning moon, as it supports the release of old patterns making way for new love.
Readiness for New Love Tarot Spread
Before seeking a new relationship, it's vital to assess your readiness. This spread from interrobang tarot helps ensure you're approaching love from a place of wholeness rather than seeking completion through another.
Four Card Readiness Assessment
Card Number 1: Mind Readiness - How prepared are my thoughts for a healthy relationship? This reveals your mental clarity and expectations.
Card Number 2: Heart Readiness - What is the state of my emotional availability? This shows your capacity for vulnerability and connection.
Card Number 3: Spirit Readiness - How aligned am I with my values and desires? This indicates spiritual harmony and purpose.
Card Number 4: What do I need to know about maintaining autonomy in my next relationship? This crucial card helps you interpret the cards with an eye toward preserving your independence.
When using this tarot love reading, remember that readiness isn't about perfection but about honest self-awareness. The exploratory phase of love should strengthen rather than diminish your sense of self, and sexual chemistry should complement deeper connections rather than substitute for them.
Tarot Spreads for Singles
Being single offers a unique opportunity for self-discovery and preparation for future love. These spreads are specifically designed for those in this phase of life.
Tarot Spread for Singles
This three-card spread offers straightforward guidance for singles looking to navigate their current state:
Card Number 1: What is the gift in my current single status? This reveals the blessing of this period.
Card Number 2: What am I learning now that will benefit my future relationships? This shows the valuable lessons being absorbed.
Card Number 3: What action will most improve my relationship readiness? This provides practical guidance for growth.
Manifesting a Soulmate Tarot Spread
For those actively seeking to change their relationship status, this five-card spread focuses on conscious creation:
Card Number 1: What energy am I currently projecting to potential partners? This shows your current attracting vibration.
Card Number 2: What qualities should I develop to attract my ideal partner? This reveals personal growth opportunities.
Card Number 3: What misconceptions do I hold about relationships? This highlights beliefs needing adjustment.
Card Number 4: What action will accelerate my path to meeting my soulmate? This provides practical steps.
Card Number 5: How will I recognize my soulmate when we meet? This offers recognition signals to watch for.
Focusing Vs. Thinking
Before I conclude, there is one last guardrail I wish to share, and perhaps the most important. Once your Tarot spread is concluded, and you've put your cards away, drop the topic. Drop the topic of where's my love? Or when's my love? When I say drop the topic, I mean don't think about it. Focus but don't think.
There's a big difference between focusing and thinking. Thinking is when you measure the exterior circumstances for clues that your love is or isn't coming. She loves me, she loves me not, and that sort of thing. Whereas focus is when you purposely harmonize yourself with the vision and the feelings of the wish fulfilled. When the urge to think about romance comes to the surface, focus from the finish line. Our inner-landscape, vibrational attitude, creates while the exterior circumstances merely reflect recent inner-landscapes. To focus from the finish line means you purposely languish in the feelings you think your heart's desire will bring you. And focusing on the feeling is the secret of manifestation.
