In-Depth Relationship Tarot Spread
Ask any Tarot reader why most people get a Tarot reading or an intuitive reading and you can bet most of them will answer the same thing: relationships!
Because relationships are so personal and affect our emotions so deeply, they can often be the part of our lives where it is most difficult to get objective information. Our feelings get hurt. Our pride gets wounded. Our insecurities cause doubt or fear. Our vanity causes us to be superficial. There is no end to the complications we put ourselves (and each other!) through when we are involved with someone important in our life. No wonder it can be so difficult to look past our feelings to see the true nature of a relationship!
This is a spread I created to give the querant (“You” in the context above) some clarity and personal insight. By looking at the true nature of both people in the relationship, and how it relates to the perceptions we see or present, we can get amazing clarity and perspective. Add to it the trajectory of the relationship, viewing past, present and probable future – the picture becomes very clear. The key here is the final card, because it helps you understand the potential of what you can do.
This spread can illuminate the shadows of a relationship and point you in the direction of a next step that could be in the highest good for everyone involved. When receiving this information, it should just feel right to you on a deep level. It should help reveal some perspective that confirms deep down what you already know to be right. And help you get the courage to take action to either continue or change where it is headed.
This spread works great on romantic relationships, but it can absolutely also be used for any relationships – friends, family, co-workers, bosses, etc.
If you are using it to read for someone else, they will be the “you” in the spread above and the other person in their relationship will be “them”.
I introduced this spread over a decade ago and I am thrilled that it still reaches thousands of people every month on this site!
If you read Tarot, you may want to be careful to ensure your Tarot deck aligns with your own energy. Or check out my other articles about Tarot, intuitive/psychic development and mediumship.
🌟 Feeling unsure whether you’re sensing intuition or simply reacting emotionally? You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. I offer intuitive readings to help you explore the dynamics of your relationships—romantic, family, work, and beyond—with clarity and compassion.
As an evidential medium, I also connect with loved ones in Spirit to bring through meaningful, verifiable messages. If you’re reading this, there’s likely a reason you’re being drawn in.
✨ Interested in developing your own intuitive or mediumship abilities? I teach both, and my private Facebook group—Developing Practical Intuition and Evidential Mediumship—is a welcoming space to ask questions, access resources, and stay updated on upcoming classes. You can also see what is currently available—including open classes and private one-on-one coaching.
