HOW TO USE PLAYING CARDS FOR A LOVE READING
If you happen to have a deck of playing cards hanging around, then you can do a simple love reading for yourself to get some clarity on a romantic situation. So, if you’re curious about what is going on between you and your person, then this is for you, a very simple, go-to reading that can be done anytime, anywhere.
How To:
Step 1: Begin by shuffling the cards while thinking about your person and what you may want to know.
Step 2: When you feel ready, stop shuffling and pull out 3 cards from the deck - you can pull from anywhere. The first card will represent your person , and this card shows how they feel or what action they might take towards this connection. The next card you pull will be placed down - this middle card will show what’s going to happen or is currently happening between the two of you. And the third card is going to represent you - how you feel or what action you might take.
Step 3: Next, grab the deck and begin to sort the cards into two piles. The first pile is for your person, and the other pile is for you.
Step 4: When you’re done sorting the cards, grab your person’s pile and search for any doubles. For example, if there are two 8s together then you take them out and put them on your person’s side. When you’re done, begin to go through your pile while looking for any doubles.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 & 4 two more times and search for any doubles.
Step 6: When you’re done, look at the card meanings below and remember to use your intuition to create the story that is being told. For example, If your person has Ace, 4, and 2 - then they may want a new beginning in love with you, it could show that their feelings are new and blossoming and it could turn into something deeper.
If you have court cards come up along with a 3 and 7 - then you are upset and feeling jealous over someone.
It is a straightforward reading that can give you a glimpse of what’s to come in your connection.
Card Meanings:
Ace = A new beginning, something is blossoming, the start of something new.
2 = Love, romantic feelings, union.
3 = An upsetting situation, hurt, heartache.
4 = They like you, romantic feelings, desire (or if it lands on your side, then it applies to your feelings).
5 = They’re talking about you.
6 = Sex or sexual feelings.
7 = Jealousy, internal conflict, feeling anxious.
8= Meeting up or seeing each other.
9 = Communication, message.
10 = Distance (emotionally or physically).
J = Immature or younger person.
Q = A woman or feminine person.
K = A man or masculine person.
Side note: You can use tarot card meanings for the cards that you pull to create an in-depth reading for yourself.
For example, if aces come up in your reading, let’s say the ace of hearts and ace of clubs - (the ace of cups and wands) then this could signify new beginnings with romantic feelings and desire are starting to bloom, a new spark of passion that is leading to romantic feelings. Overall - have fun with it, perfect it to your liking and style, and allow your intuition to guide you when doing the reading.
