Okay, so the other day I was messing around with my tarot cards, and I got curious about how they might show a love triangle situation. I’ve been reading tarot for a while, but this specific question was new to me. Here’s how I went about it.
My Tarot Experiment: Love Triangles
First, I grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck. I feel like it’s the best for getting clear answers, especially when you’re starting out or trying something new. I shuffled the cards really well, you know, really thinking about love triangles and all the messy emotions they bring.
Then, I laid out a simple three-card spread. I didn’t want anything too complicated. I figured one card for each person in the triangle, plus maybe an extra card for the overall situation.
- Card 1: Person A
- Card 2: Person B
- Card 3: Person C (the “other” person)
- Card 4: The situation or Outcome.
I flipped over the cards one by one, really trying to focus on what each one could mean in this specific context. I found that, that are some cards that are pretty obvious indicators, even without knowing the exact question.
For me, these are the cards and a brief explaination about them.
- The Lovers: Well it may seem to be about a harmonious relationship. But when it showed up in a love triangle reading, It kind of screamed “choices, choices!” to me. You know?
- Two of Cups:This could indicate a strong connection between two people, potentially leaving someone else out in the *’s all about partnership.
- Three of Swords: Classic heartbreak card, right? This one popped up a lot, and it made total sense. Someone’s probably going to get hurt.
- Seven of Cups:This represents the choices, illusions, and sometimes even wishful thinking. In a love triangle, it might suggest that someone is fantasizing about a relationship that isn’t realistic.
- Five of Cups:This is all about loss, regret, and dwelling on the negative, might mean a third-party.
I did a few practice readings, just pulling cards and seeing what came up. It was actually pretty interesting to see how the cards would tell a story. Sometimes the story was clear as day, other times it was a bit more muddled.I wrote down my initial thoughts for each card, then I tried to connect the dots and see the bigger picture.
The Three of Swords kept showing up, which, duh, makes sense. Love triangles are rarely happy situations. The Two of Cups also appeared a few times, often representing the two people who were initially in the relationship, before things got complicated. The Five of Cups was very present in most of the readings, a clear indication of a third party.
It’s not always easy to tell who’s who, though. Sometimes you gotta rely on your intuition and what you know about the people involved (if you’re reading for yourself or a friend). I definitely learned that context is key!
So, yeah, that was my little tarot experiment. It’s definitely something I want to explore more. Tarot’s pretty cool for digging into all sorts of relationship stuff, not just love triangles. You can get as deep as you want, it just takes time and practice.
