What You Really Mean When You Ask Tarot about Your Future Love
It might be you, not them

As a Tarot reader, one of the most common topics I get questions about is luuurve.
And it makes sense, right? Most of us want someone to share loving moments with.
And though there are different kinds of love, what I’m talking about is romantic love.
Typical questions I get are:
- When will I meet The One?
- Will my ex come back to me?
- Is so-and-so cheating on me?
- Will The One have a big house and a fancy car?
- Is who I’m seeing now the one I’ll marry?
I’m not bashing these questions. There are loads of reasons why you might ask them.
Maybe you’re sick and tired of meeting the wrong people. You’re exhausted from shoddy dates and just want someone to curl up on the sofa with when you get in from work.
Or you’re recovering from a traumatic relationship and want to know that not everyone is like your ex.
But these questions don’t help you feel better.
These kinds of questions don’t hold the power you think they do.
Let’s break it down.
Questions about other people — like your ex returning to you or the ‘perfect partner’ being right around the corner — are exactly that. About other people and their own decisions.
You don’t have the power to control others’ decisions. Tarot can’t predict what someone else might decide because everyone has their own free will.
There are just far too many variables in life to determine someone else’s actions for certain.
Now let’s look at the ‘unfaithful’ questions.
Whether or not someone is cheating, lying, or deceiving you.
Now, Tarot might help you figure out how to approach the person to ask them, or what steps to take to find out.
But cards with pretty pictures on them aren’t going to tell you ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Finally, let’s have a look at the specific attributes questions, whether your future beau will have brown hair, drive a Mercedes, or own their own house.
This feels like wishful thinking or making a checklist.
It’s not how you find actual, lasting love.
Those material, surface features don’t matter when it comes to the heart.
And Tarot can’t predict those elements, anyway.
Let’s pretend for a moment that it could:
Would it truly guarantee you a life of happiness, love, and security? Probably not.
I get it, though.
It’s frustrating to know that you can’t control love — when, where, and with whom it happens.
And that’s why you’re asking these questions of the Tarot.
Because part of you wants to believe that it’s already been decided for you.
My personal belief is that those details are not set in stone. While you might lean toward certain paths in life, you have the power to shape your own reality through your actions and attitude.
So questions about love should actually be questions about yourself:
- What do I want from a relationship?
- How do I know if I’m ready to meet someone new?
- What steps can I take to find out if my partner is being unfaithful?
- How do I communicate my wants and needs with my partner?
- What areas do I need to work on to be ready to give more love?
- How can I make myself happy while I’m single?
By approaching Tarot in this way, you can ask helpful questions that aid you in your journey because you can make practical choices to get what you want and need in love.
