Relationships make up a fundamental part of who and what we are in relation to ourselves and the world around us. Whether you are single or in a relationship, the power of the Tarot can help you discover or enhance aspects of your love life that you might not be consciously aware of.
There is nothing in this world that compares to the power of human relationships to provide love and joy, or pain and suffering. On an instinctual level we all seek love and avoid pain, but in relationships sometimes the lines can cross due to misunderstanding or incompatibility.
When it comes to relationships, we all have different needs and preferences, and a one size fits all approach doesn’t always work. Mainstream relationship advice mostly takes a psychological approach and doesn’t always work as it rarely factors in the individuality of the human spirit. The Tarot, on the other hand, is a powerful tool for discovering the unique forces that are currently enhancing or detracting from our own love and happiness.
Love, Happiness and the Tarot
Love, it’s a beautiful thing and we can never get enough of it. Luckily, the Tarot can provide us with a road map for understanding and unlock the deeper patterns that are influencing our love and connection to others.
As you are probably already aware, in a tarot spread you can have both positive and negative cards or orientations. In actuality, even the negative cards may not really be negative at all; as they may just tell us that we need to be more open and understanding, or that we may have gone astray on our road to happiness.
When it comes to Love, there are certain tarot cards that can give us insight into our present, past and future relationships.
