Love is defined by a myriad of words for a lot of us- from feelings to actions to thoughts. There’s not just one definite answer for this but one thing is for sure- everyone looks for love and wants the best version of it. However, the bittersweet truth when it comes to love is that it can happen so suddenly and abruptly that you are usually not prepared for it.
For centuries, since the tarot became almost mainstream practice, people have sought guidance from these cards for direction and guidance in their love lives. Because who wouldn’t want to predict love? It’s the assurance that we all seek and tarot readers have been trying to predict this in people’s romantic lives.
But can you trust this prediction? Can it really predict love? And if so, how accurate is it? You will find the answers to all these questions in this article. So saddle up and let’s dive right into it!
Can Tarot Cards Really Predict My Love Life?
While tarot card reading has always been at the forefront for different aspects of our lives like guidance in personal development and predictions about the future, it is not a solid truth. Going into tarot reading, the one thing you have to understand is that the “predictions” that these cards make rely more on the kinds of decisions that you make and the energy you give out.
Even more important is the role of the tarot reader- having an experienced reader tell you the meanings of your tarot spreads will carry more weight than the ones that come from a new reader or an amateur. There’s more to it than the blatant textbook meaning of your cards. It depends on how the reader analyses your energy, how you respond and what kind of insights they gain from the answers you give.
It’s safe to say that depending wholeheartedly on tarot for your love life is not the best way to go about your romantic pursuits. However, it is true to some extent that just having an expert read into your questions, answers, energy and vibe can give you meaningful insights about your life- be it romantic or otherwise. At the end of the day, it is truly a decision that you make as an individual and how you choose to respond to the situations that life throws your way.
