One of the most common questions during a Tarot reading generally concerns matters of romance and associations. Naturally, people consult the Tarot for answers about love. You’d expect most people to want to know about your future love life – who and when that special someone would come into your life. However, many turn to Tarot for guidance on a current relationship. Usually these are the relationships that have come to a standstill. In these cases, the relationships have lost their sense of direction or purpose.
The Tarot has an exceptional ability to discover the areas of a relationship that are struggling. More importantly, the Tarot can identify the key issues that are happening within each partner. This often refers to the emotional development, expectations, and past experiences of each individual that are projected into the relationship. One would expect the Tarot to tell us exactly what we must do to restore harmony to a relationship. Actually, this is not always the case. Most of the time, the Tarot only opens the door to our own inner knowledge. Each individual has the answers they need. The Tarot is a led, a divinatory tool that allows you to access your higher and unconscious self. In the end, you are always your best guide.
When using the Tarot to get answers about a relationship, it is important to recognize that there are some important cards that often question your intentions and motivations. These cards often reflect important crossroads that require you to look within yourself to make important decisions. They encourage you to take a closer look at your relationship and ask yourself if this relationship is something that is best for you. It is important to remember what the Tarot teaches us. They are there to guide us on our way. They are always a reflection of our level of personal growth and emotional development. In some cases, the Tarot is there to redirect us, to remind us that we have made the wrong decision or have blinded ourselves to our own truths.
Although the Suit of Cups often plays an important role in the Love Tarot, they are not the only cards that represent relationship problems. As I mentioned before, there are other important letters that require you to ask yourself some important questions. Some of them are quite obvious like the Three of Swords, the Devil or the Lover. However, there are some that are not obvious. These are the Hermit, Death, and the Two of Swords cards.
The meanings of the hermit tarot cards in a love tarot reading
Traditionally, the Hermit is the seeker of truth and wisdom. It often represents the seeker’s journey into the unknown. The path of the Hermit is bleak. The flashlight he carries is a mirror symbol of ourselves. This is the wisdom that is within all of us. It is the power to see ourselves as we really are.
Another common interpretation of the Hermit is the wise old man or counselor. In this sense, he is the messenger of truth, revealing the importance of foresight and circumspection. Since the Hermit can be a bearer of light, he is there to share his knowledge and light the way for others. It guides the seeker towards self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
When The Hermit is drawn in a loving Tarot reading, it usually represents the need to pause. This is a time of evaluation. In terms of a relationship that has reached a crossroads, the Hermit encourages you to go within and find your truth. The Hermit may indicate that your approach to your relationship will need to change. This is not the time to make your relationship a priority. It would be better served if the freedom to make an examination of conscience were allowed. Although there may be some loneliness, the end goal would be a transformative experience. After a period of introspection, you may be willing to patch things up with your partner. A new perspective and sense of purpose can add valuable information to both you and your partner.
Meaning of death Tarot cards in a love Tarot reading
Death is not an end, but is part of a larger cycle. Although death is often associated with something that is destructive, it really is an opportunity for something much greater. Death plants the seeds for the growth of tomorrow. Death is an act of generosity, as it cleanses and purges the remains of our old lives.
Traditionally, death is the card of transformation. It signifies the beginning of a profound change. In a Tarot reading, the Death card indicates that another cycle of life has ended and a new cycle has begun. It can refer to the completion of important stages of life or relationships. However, it often symbolizes metamorphosis. It is the rebirth of the psyche itself. Old beliefs and ideas are discarded for new ones. In essence, it is a metaphorical death, not a literal one. In a tarot reading, death refers to a transformation that occurs in one’s deepest core.
A common association to the Death Tarot card is the dissipation of a romantic relationship. This is particularly true for relationships that have stalled. This is not always the case. Death is a wake-up call. It reminds us to open our eyes and embrace the world around us. In this sense, it may refer to our own lack of perspective. The Death card encourages you to take a good look at your relationship. Your old communication methods are most likely out of date. It is important to recognize the areas in which you feel stuck. The goal is to find a new perspective, a new way of seeing, that will allow the relationship to merge into something new.
In some respects, the Death card signifies the need to let go. Relationships that resist change tend to get lost and lose momentum. It is at this point that a relationship must be willing to abandon its old identity to form a new one. A major change is inevitable. It’s time to broaden your perspectives and explore new areas and interests that bring you together on a whole new level.
Two of the meanings of the tarot cards of swords in a love tarot reading
The Two of Swords is often associated with denial. It often indicates a dead end or stalemate. Its traditional imagery shows a woman holding two swords blindfolded. In this context, the blindfold is self-imposed. She has clearly chosen to remain oblivious to the environment around her. The Two of Swords is also associated with indecision or the inability to make an important decision. It is clear that you are avoiding an important truth. She has created a false sense of reality and is choosing to live in a state of forgetfulness. This reality offers you a moment of peace. However, this does not deny the existence of the need to choose a new path. At some point, the weight of the Swords will be too much to bear and she will be forced to face the reality of the situation.
In terms of relationships, the Two of Swords often reveals the barriers you have placed between yourself and your partner. This is the nature of stagnation. You have become emotionally disconnected or the relationship has become resistant to commitment. In this case, there are often problems of internal conflict or confusion about the relationship.
The issues your relationship is struggling with will not be found through outside influences. The Two of Swords urges you to go within once more. It is time to face your inner conflicts. To overcome its current stalemate, the balance must be restored. This is often accomplished by exploring past experiences that are influencing your current situation. The Two of Swords encourages you to be honest with yourself and with your partner. The ultimate goal is to communicate and speak your truth.
