This Valentine's Day Tarot Reading Will Shed Some Serious Light On Your Love Life

This card represents your love life in the past. Choose a card that reminds you of an old lover:

When it comes to love, the Seven of Pentacles isn't the most romantic or glamorous card. As far as your past is concerned, this card speaks of a time in which you had to put aside romance and reckless abandon in order to guarantee a more fruitful future for yourself. Being responsible can be downright boring, and unfortunately, your love life suffered because of it. If you were single, maybe you pressed pause on dating to focus on your goals. If you were in a relationship, you most likely had to forgo the wild nights out and expensive trips so you could reap greater rewards later on. No doubt, this period of laying low was good for your future, but was it good for your heart?

Seven of Pentacles

Everyone goes through a Hermit phase. In fact, some people go through many! Don't fret. This doesn't mean you're going to end up alone in the woods somewhere. You just went through a little period in which you had to take a step back and reevaluate. Taking time to reconnect with yourself is never a bad idea. Although you might be over your period of solitude, try to keep the idea of the Hermit in your back pocket. You'll never know when you'll need it especially where love is concerned! 

The Hermit

The Queen of Swords was a really intense and protective person in your life. They just wanted to protect you from the same hurt that they've felt time and time again, but maybe they weren't doing it in the best way. I hope you didn't let them jade you from love. Sure, they thought what they were doing was in your best interest, but that's not always the case. Sometimes beneath the toughest exteriors lies a seriously wounded creature. What will you do to ensure you don't end up wounded and hidden from the world like the Queen of Swords?

Queen of Swords

This card indicates that you went through a nesting period with someone, and the two of you got super cozy! Whether you just spent a lot of time with this person or even moved in together, the two of you bonded in a way that a lot of people don't. Did it feel like you could finish each other's sentences? Yeah, the Nine of Pentacles can be a wildly intense and fulfilling period. But beware – some people get too cozy and then become complacent which could prove to undo everything that you've worked so hard on. Or has it already started to unravel? Once you reach this situation, it's like walking a tightrope. Whatever you do, just don't look down.

Nine of Pentacles

So, you've been trying to do it all, have you? How'd that work out for you? According to the Two of Pentacles, it actually didn't turn out too bad. But juggling is a hard thing to do, especially when one of the things you're juggling is love. Sure, you had your work-life balance down to science, but did some pieces fall and shatter on the floor? Or are you still juggling and your muscles tired are begging for a break? Even machines aren't meant to run continuously. 

Two of Pentacles

In the past, you've felt as if you were flying blind when it comes to love, and it hasn't always been the easiest journey. But through trial and error, you seem to have put in the work it takes to finally see some payoff at the end of the tunnel! Maybe you've found yourself chasing after someone special or been traversing the rocky mountain of a relationship that will possibly be worth all the effort in the end. You've got this. Just keep going. You might not always find exactly what you're looking for on the other side, but – hey – that's love.

Nine of Wands

You watered a seed and weren't exactly thrilled with what grew from the dirt. Not that you got something all that terrible out of your efforts, but it just wasn't what you were expecting. Don't fret. You may have been a little let down, but there's more in store for your future. Keep working. Although movies, books, social media, and the internet may lead us to believe otherwise, power couples and whirlwind romances aren't born over night. They all start out as seeds that need some serious TLC. Try to appreciate all you've been through. It'll come in handy soon.

Ace of Pentacles

You've been through a lot, haven't you? Yes, the Six of Swords is telling me that you've definitely seen your fair share of trials and tribulations when it comes to love. But you've been able to overcome these less-than-desirable situations, and now look at you! You're a better person because of it. You had to say goodbye to someone that meant a great deal to you for your own mental stability which is never easy. I'm certainly impressed with you prowess. A word of warning: make sure you leave those ghosts in the past. It's never a good idea to dredge up things that have been laid to rest, even if you're not the one dredging them up!

Six of Swords

I hate to say it, but the Four of Cups in your past is usually an indicator that you weren't all that grateful for what you had. And because of that, your love life took some hits. Believe me, I understand better than most that it can be hard to find the silver lining when you're in a sucky situation. But if you want your future relationships to succeed, you've got to learn to express yourself and communicate in healthy ways. Martyring yourself won't do you any good. Has it ever?

Four of Cups

Yikes! It seems as if something a crush or a significant other did made you seriously MAD! Yeah, it was probably their fault, and you have every right to be mad, but make sure you channel that anger into pushing you forward to a new chapter. Don't keep fighting a battle that doesn't deserve to be fought. You're better than that. Say goodbye to the past and hello to what the future has in store.

Seven of Wands

This card indicates that you found a new way of communicating that's much more effective than what you were doing before. Whether you learned how to flirt better or found a new dating app that really got you back into the game, be cautious. Going into the present, you could continue to use this new-found power for good or for bad. If you don't abuse or overindulge in these new powers of communication, you could definitely reap some rewards. But be wary – you could also lose out in a big way if you overindulge!

Ace of Swords

Love is a tricky little subject, and the Hierophant indicates that you sought advice from someone you consider to be wise. Always be wary of people you seek advice from. Make sure what that person told you wasn't a complete load of crap. It might be 100% legit, but it's at least worth diving into what they shared with you and separating the things that work for you from the things that don't. You needed this figure and their information to help propel you to your future, and now it's time to take what you learned and move forward.

The Hierophant

This card represents your present love circumstances. Choose a card that you can't resist:

Uh oh... someone isn't being honest right now. Are you in a relationship? If so, it might be time to have a heart-to-heart with your significant other because one of y'all isn't telling the truth about something. If you're single, you might not be being honest with yourself. Whatever your situation may be, you need to let the truth bubble to the surface or else your future self may come to regret it. Honesty is always the best policy, but that age-old saying is only more true when it comes to love and matters of the heart.

Seven of Swords

Ah... the Death card. It always sounds so scary, doesn't it? The first thing you need to know about this card is that it almost never signifies actual death. That's VERY rare. Right now, you may be experiencing a pretty intense transition that's going to have some long-lasting effects. Maybe you're going through a pretty shitty breakup. Or maybe you're experiencing some pretty low lows all on your own. Whatever the case may be, you're going to want to find a support system and cling to it. Don't try to pretend everything's ok. It's not. But you're going to get through this dark period. The most uplifting part of this card is that life is cyclical and after death, life starts anew. That's not a conversation you're ready for right now, but just know that these awful feelings will end. They always do. 

Death

The Page of Cups is a unique individual in your life right now who is totally and utterly themselves. They're artistic and have a perspective on life that's refreshing and intriguing. This person isn't always the best at life; they're probably a little broke and a bit of a wild card, but – hey – you can't exactly return what the universe throws at you. This person may be of romantic interest to you or maybe they're just there to light a fire under your ass and show you what you want out of life. Either way, listen to what they have to say. And be sure to listen to not just their words, but the thoughts and ideas behind their creative endeavors, too. There's more than meets the eye here. 

Page of Cups

This card in your present is basically saying that you need to slow your roll in the romance department and just focus on yourself for a bit. Consider your past. Are there unresolved hurts there that lie just beneath the surface of your everyday actions? This is the time to weed out all those pesky things lurking in the shadows and, instead, focus on you! If this card were a song, it would be "Feeling Myself" by Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé. It's time to appreciate yourself and self-indulge in your wants and desires. This period of self-discovery could lead you down a path you never dreamed of. Forget romance right now. It's your time to shine. 

Ace of Cups

No one wants to be called a fool, but don't fret – this card isn't mocking you or your current situation. The Fool marks the beginning of a long journey. You're going to go through a lot, and – sure – it's going to suck sometimes, but there's also going to be a lot of wonderful things happening. In terms of romance, the Fool often signifies the beginning of a relationship or an inner-journey. The Fool is eager and naive, but that's part of the fun. Lean into whatever new chapter of love you may be embarking on. It's going to be one wild ride!

The Fool

You've come a long way, and you never could have imagined that things would turn out this way. This card is an amazing one to pull because it means that you've really put in the work, and it all payed off. If you're in a relationship, you may be experiencing the harmony of two becoming one. If you're single, maybe you've had to kiss a few frogs (maybe even some toads) to find out what you really wanted, and now you're ready for whatever love has to throw at you. Revel in these small blessings because life is a cycle, and just because everything seems amazing right now doesn't mean it will always be so. Enjoy this while it lasts because all good things must come to end. 

Ten of Pentacles

Does life feel like it's coming down at you from all angles right now? The Ten of Wands usually indicates that you're a bit stressed out. In terms of love, maybe the person you've been pining after just isn't putting in the same energy as you. Or maybe – if you're in a relationship – something just isn't clicking no matter how hard you try to roll with the punches. You're taking too much on and putting way too much stress on yourself. The key is to reduce, reduce, reduce. Don't put so much pressure on yourself or the relationship. Ideally, love should fit into your life like a comfy puzzle piece. If it doesn't, maybe some reconsideration of your priorities is called for. 

Ten of Wands

Right now, you may feel unsupported and stressed out. Maybe money is tight, or maybe you're stretching yourself too thin and the person you're crushing on/in a relationship with isn't exactly giving you everything you need to thrive. Remember that love is like a plant. You must water it every day. But by the same token, you must be watered and nurtured in return. Make sure you and your partner's expectations are in the same place. If single, make sure you're not pouring water into a plant that's never going to water you back. Love is all about reciprocation and compromise, and if that's not something the person you're pining after is willing to give, then it's time to move on. 

Five of Pentacles

This card is never fun, especially when it's in your present. Basically, you're a bit down and out right now. Have you been hurt? Perhaps there was a nasty breakup that left you shattered. Maybe the person you were crushing on rejected your advances. Whatever the case may be, just know that there's only one way to go from here, and that's up. It's going to get better. Try not to be too hard on yourself during this time, but also don't let yourself mope for too long. The future is right around the corner, and love isn't like the flowers or the trees – it can bloom all year round. 

Ten of Swords

This card in your present indicates a long period of tranquility. You're reconnecting with yourself in a way that you simply haven't before. After a nasty event in your past, you've stumbled upon a period of renewal and inspiration. Take this time to focus on yourself and your wants and needs. The more in-tune you are with yourself, the better you'll be able to cultivate relationships in the future. But definitely take this time to focus on you. Love can wait.

The Star

You need to take this time to connect with your inner animal and reflect. Inside all of us is a creature that yearns and dreams. As Lana Del Rey said, "Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?" This card urges you to do just that. Dig deep and find the truth about what you want out of this life. Discover exactly what it is about love that makes your heart race and chase after it until you just can't run any more.

The Moon

This card in your present is basically a direct call to gather your closest friends and nourish yourself in their energy. Love can wait just a damn minute while you kick up your feet and reconnect with the people that bring a smile to your face. Just like with work and art, it's sometimes when you let loose and have some fun when important puzzle pieces fall into place. Throw a sleepover or just get everyone together for dinner and let the shenanigans elevate you to another plane of existence. It's this kind of effortless love that you need to emulate in your romantic relationships. After all, the person you're paired up with is not only your partner, but essentially your best friend as well. Are the energies between your friendships and your love life matching up? If not, something may be off. 

Three of Cups

And lastly, this card represents your future endeavors in love. Choose a card that feels hopeful:

Having the King of Cups in your future isn't always the best thing, but it's also never that surprising when we really think about it. To figure out who this person is, just follow the trail of let downs and tears, and you shouldn't have a problem eye-spying them. The King of Cups may seem successful to the outside world, but they have so much unresolved shit in their past and are so emotionally tuned out that anyone who knows them personally has probably been burned more than once. All I have to say is be cautious. King of Cups are always master manipulators so it's not going to be easy keeping your guard up, but still – try. Better yet, just walk away. Get out of this relationship (be it romantic or otherwise) as fast as you can. The greater the distance between you and the King of Cups, the better!

King of Cups

The Three of Wands urges you to follow your desires! In the past, you put a lot of work in, and now you're going to finally be seeing some results! Allow yourself to be proud because you've done amazing so far! But don't falter or slack off. Keep going, and your future will hold even more success! If you love something, follow it to the ends of earth. Isn't that what love's all about?

Three of Wands

There's going to be some blockage in your near future, and do you want to know who the culprit is? It's you! Whatever you're doing now, you're going to have to realize that you're putting yourself in a bit of standstill. Are you refusing to follow your heart and fully commit to a relationship? Are you letting the voices in your head convince you not to make a move on the crush who CLEARLY likes you back? Quit overthinking, and let your heart guide you. It's wiser than you give it credit for.

Two of Swords

This card in your future marks that a period of tranquility and harmony is coming soon, but you're going to have to work for it! Sure, things might feel a little dicey right now, but that's ok. The secret to love that lasts is balance, and this card is letting you know that if you adjust the scales of your life, you'll see some pleasant changes. Think of this card as someone tapping you on the shoulder and saying, "Hey, are you 100% happy? No? Well, why not? Oh, you realize there's an easy fix for that, right?" You're the architect of your life, and you have the tools to add and take away as you see fit!

Temperance

This card in your future ensures that you'll find someone who has your back. They're going to be there for you in ways nobody has been there before. Maybe it's romantic and maybe it's not. But what you can be sure of is that you'll feel safe and protected. Oh, and get ready to learn some things because the King of Pentacles has a lot of knowledge ready to bestow upon you.

King of Pentacles

The Devil certainly doesn't sound like a good card, and – let's be honest – it's not great. In this case, the Devil in your future is a warning sign. In terms of love, things could switch from fine and dandy to toxic and turbulent. If the situation gets too bad and has you feeling powerless and trapped, it could lead to some seriously self-destructive behavior. Be wary of this turning point in your love life or relationship. If you're single, this could point to an over-indulgence in carnal desires to the point of it not being healthy anymore. If you're partnered, this could mean that things between you and your partner are getting too codependent, and you need to take a step back. Keep your eyes open for the signs of the Devil creeping into your love life.

The Devil

This card in your future has both positive and negative connotations. It usually signifies that you'll be drawn in by an alluring person. Their nurturing energy is enticing, but be wary – while they may not harbor purposeful bad intentions, they have baggage that could lead to some heartache. You won't really be able to avoid the Queen of Wands, but you can keep them at a steady distance. Just try not to fall for the puppy dog eyes.

Queen of Wands

A really good date is in your future! You know those dates where things just aren't clicking? Well, this isn't going to be anything like that at all! For singles, the Two of Cups indicates that you're going to find someone that you really vibe with. If you're coupled, then you can expect some smooth sailing for a while! Nothing but good energy in your future!

Two of Cups

This card in your future is all about getting your ducks in a row. The Emperor is predicting more structure and order in your life that will no doubt leave room for more love in your life. Maybe you'll get a raise at work or streamline your daily routine. Whatever happens, make sure to add love to your list of things to focus on because the Emperor commands it. 

The Emperor 

Romantic love isn't the focus of the Six of Pentacles. Instead, you're going to fall in love with the work you do. We spend most of our lives working so it's important we find something that makes our hearts genuinely happy. When that aspect of our lives is smooth and harmonious, the positive energy makes room for more blessings! Keep working hard because happiness is in your near future!

Six of Pentacles

If you're looking for love, look no further than the mirror. That person who's looking back is amazing, but might be in need of some TLC. It's time to redefine how you view yourself. Are you being too harsh and unforgiving? You'd never treat anybody else like that, would you? When the opportunity comes, learn to be gentle with yourself and trust what your body is telling you. As RuPaul says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

The Empress

You're afraid of something, aren't you? You're going to have to face that fear real soon, but don't worry. Once you unveil the thing that's holding you back, you're going to see that it wasn't all the scary in the first place. You were just psyching yourself out. Don't let fear rule your future especially when it comes to love. Remember, you're the one in charge here!
