lovers tarot card

With Valentine’s Day just gone, what better time to look at the top ten Tarot cards that indicate love, romance and relationships!

Lovers —The Lovers! Need I say more?! The Lovers is the ultimate Tarot card for love and represents a unique bond and deep connection between two people. Its presence in a reading reflects a very authentic relationship that is built on mutual trust and respect.

Two of CupsTwo of Cups—The Two of Cups indicates a strong bond between two people and often reflects the commitment made to one another within a monogamous relationship.

Ten of CupsTen of Cups—The Ten of Cups is typical of a happy family within a warm and loving home. It reflects the presence of deep family values and a feeling of completion, having found the perfect partner and having raised the perfect children.

Four of WandsFour of Wands—The Four of Wands is a card of celebration and a safe and secure home environment. It often reflects a wedding, engagement or other event whereby a relationship is becoming more serious.

Ten of PentaclesTen of Pentacles—This Ten reflects a well-established relationship (typically a defacto relationship or marriage) and a solid family life.


Ace of CupsAce of Cups—The Ace of Cups heralds a new relationship filled with excitement, joy and happiness. This is the type of bliss you once experienced as a teenager in love, with butterflies in your stomach and a desire to spend every waking minute with your new love.

Knight of CupsKnight of Cups—The Knight of Cups is your ‘knight in shining armour’ and appears in a reading when you are being courted or romanced by someone special. He /she is attractive, creative and in touch with his/her feelings – very much the SNAG (sensitive new-age guy) type.

EmpressEmpress—The Empress is a beautiful, abundant, fertile and expressive woman. She represents sensuality within a relationship and is indicative of a deeply fulfilling connection between you and your partner.

EmperorEmperor—The Emperor reflects a very sturdy male figure and may suggest the presence of a long-term partner.

HierophantHierophant—The Hierophant represents tradition, structure and religion. This card can therefore indicate a long-term, committed relationship or marriage that is very traditional.

Hi biddy, it’s me again. I’m really sorry for bothering you with my questions. But i’m really curious with my reading.
I once asked “what kind of person is he for me?” I mean, in general. Whether it means about personality, what might he look like, or whatsoever. He is 21 year old by the way.
And here are the cards: Queen of Wands (past), King of Cups (present), 10 of Cups (future).
I’ve asked you about 10 of Cups. And we told that we have to know the surrounding cards in order to understand the whole meaning. What kind of person is he?

Claudia, those cards look very promising. Queen of Wands – very friendly, warm and sociable. King of Cups – emotionally balanced, mature, calm and controlled. 10 of Cups – getting more ready for commitment (quite amazing for a 21 year old!!).

Komal, a couple of things come to mind…

1. Tarot readings are never set in stone. Everyone has free will and can make individual decisions that will influence the outcome. Tarot cards are reading on a point in time – things may have changed since then.

2. It’s not over until it’s over! You never know… they may somehow come together again…

3. It may have indicated a new or existing suitor, other than the guy in question. I can’t help but see commitment in the Knight of Pentacles and marriage in the Four of Wands.

Hi Biddy,

Just like to ask what’s your take on the following horoscope spread that I got asking what’s gonna be my future in the next 4 weeks: 1st house – star; 2nd house – hermit; 3rd house – knight of swords; 4th house – 9 of pentacles; 5th house – tower; 6th house – judgment; 7th house – 5 cups reversed; 8th house – 7 of wands; 9th house – knight of pentacles; 10th house – 5 of pentacles reversed; 11th house – king of cups; 12th house – 8 wands.

Is it safe to say that I can expect a new job or inheritance soon and an old lover perhaps coming back? So confused…

Hi biddy,
What if Lovers came up when represent a person (woman)? How’s her personality to me?

Reply

Brigit April 15, 2012 at 5:24 am

Dave, the Lovers card would suggest a strong connection between you and the woman, and that you both share similar personalities and values.

Hi Biddy,
I have been trying to find a job in the medical filled with what seems like a life time .I have been going out every day grinding so hard to get a job so I can go back to school to better my life and career.Every time I go to a job they all tell me the same thing,I need experience.I feel how I’m going to get the experience if no one gives me a chance I been to more than forty jobs. One day I thought my prayers was answered when I recieved a job,the job let me work for a day than told me not to come back because they did a background check and realized I needed experience.When I did my tarot spread and it said lies to my face and I latter found out I was set up.
It is a new month and I asked the cards IF I WOULD GET A JOB SOON and these cards came up
nine of pentacles, King of cups, two of cups
These seem more like a spread for a relationship question or can it mean a buisness partnership because I recently went through a agency and was hoping they could help me with my employment.

Brigit May 4, 2012 at 6:32 pm

The Two of Cups can meaning signing an employment agreement so it may still relate to finding a job. I would see these cards as quite positive overall. You might also like my post “7 Ways to Find the Perfect Job Using Tarot” – http://www.biddytarot.com/perfect-job/

my relationship recently split , he ended it but I drew threee cards 6 of swords, the empress and 2 of cups with the question whether we would be lovers again…..Dare I hope that this is a yes to my question?

Reply

Brigit May 5, 2012 at 4:28 am

Karen, I would say it’s time to move forward (Six of Swords), reconnect with your femininity (Empress) and you may even land a new relationship soon (2 of Cups).

Danielle May 6, 2012 at 8:53 pm

Hi Biddy,
I had a reading done the other day, a lot of it was to do with my ex partner but in particular the empress card fell, underneath was crossroads and to the readers left fell the hanged man. I know this was to do with him getting another woman pregnant, but the reader insisted that there is a question mark over the pregnancy. As the cards fell on the bottom row she said she could give me any further information and that the spirits did not want us to know and that we had to wait and see. What would your interpretation of the cards be as I am so confused right now!

Brigit May 7, 2012 at 3:34 am

Hi Danielle,
If you’re feeling confused by the reading, I suggest you go back to the reader to ask for clarification. This should be part of your reading with that person. She will have the full picture, including all of the cards drawn and her intuitive sense of what the cards are trying to tell you.
Warm regards, Brigit

Hello Biddy,

I have tried doing the 1 Tarot Card reading for my self where I found several diferent kinds of coming which Iam unable to relate. This was regarding the relationship with my BF and about we getting married.

I got the following:

The Lovers
The Sun
King of Pentacles
Three Of Swords
Nine of Pentacles
Highest Priest
Queen of Wands

Not how should I be able to interpret these multiple time card readings. Can you put an insight on to it?

Reply

Brigit May 14, 2012 at 1:02 am

Moddu, this doesn’t look like a one card reading! ;-) I know you have drawn just one card each time, but my general feeling is that you may be trying to read on the one topic too many times (take a look at http://www.biddytarot.com/multiple-tarot-readings/).

What you may be seeing here is more a reflection of your relationship on the day that you drew the one card.

Hi Biddy,

Don’t know if this the right place for this post. However as it related to somewhat to the topic thought of posting it here (please remove it if unappropriate).

Did a Love Spread for BF and myself and got cards below. His daddy is against the relationship.

Present: 3 of swords – Because of the current situation as things stands there is a lot of grief and sorrow.

My world: 6 of pents – She is actually giving away money and involved in charitable work.

His world: Knight of pent – He is stuck with doing his daily scores home to office and back home.

Nature of issues: 9 of wands – It is really testing our faith and courage as well as persistence is much needed to sail through this.

Obstacles: Emperor – Authority of father figure (literally).

Lessons / Signs: 10 of cups – Harmony, happiness, marriage, fulfilment and family.

Her hopes, fears, desires: Ace of wands – I’m hoping for new beginnings, and starting a family.

His hopes fears, desires: 6 of swords – Hoping to move forward leaving behind troubled times.

Challenges: Hierophant – The objection of the guy’s father is due to caste difference and the challenge is to overcome the set believes which he and others in his family might share.

Outcome: 4 of wands clarified by Page of swords – Celebration, harmony, marriage. The clarifier says that the marriage will be affected by immaturity (the Page is young) and either gossip or words spoken in haste.

Will you and/or others put in your opinions please? Thanks.
