Cartomancy Meanings: A Fortune Telling Love Reading Spread
Do they love you or don’t they? Where is your connection going? What are they thinking as far as you’re concerned? What are their desires?
Today we’re going to talk about a cartomancy spread which is going to help you understand how things stand between you and someone you’re connected to or interested in.
We’re going to go through the cartomancy meanings of the cards in each position of the spread, and then we’ll see a practice example so you can see how this fortune telling spread works.
How To Use A Fortune Telling Spread
In case you never did a fortune telling spread yourself, the process might be easier than you think.
All you need is a deck of cards – playing cards, tarot, or whatever other cartomancy deck you might want to use – and one or two sheets of paper on which you should have the notes regarding the love spread. Having those notes in front of you is going to be helpful in the beginning, until you get used to the meanings of each card in the spread.
The Meanings Of The Cards
If you know or have already established your own meanings for each card, then that’s all you need: the deck and the notes on the spread. If you’re just starting to experiment with playing cards and their cartomancy meanings, it wouldn’t hurt to also have a cheat-sheet with the meanings of the cards.
Check out our previous post on what cartomancy is and how to read playing cards, where you’ll find the cartomancy meanings of playing cards that you can print out and use as a guide. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s talk about the love fortune telling love spread itself.
The Fortune Telling Love Spread
We’re going to use a relatively straightforward four cards spread. One-card spreads give answers that are a bit too concise, but going with too many cards from the get-go can become confusing. The middle ground is a three-cards spread, for instance, but we like this four-cards one instead because it tackles the main relevant points about a love connection.
So, you shuffle your deck of cards, cut it somewhere, and pull four cards from there. You can go fancier with it and pull two above and two underneath from the place where you cut, or simply pull four cards from wherever you did cut the deck. The message behind the process is going to be the same, since the truth of someone’s feelings, thoughts, and desires is going to be the same no matter what method you use to pull the cards.
This four-card love fortune telling spread tackle four essential questions about the one you’re interested in or in a connection with:
Card 1: What are their desires regarding you?
Card 2: What are they thinking about you?
Card 3: What are they feeling regarding you?
Card 4: Where is your connection going?
An Example Of Cartomancy Meanings For The Love Fortune Telling Spread
So, you pulled four cards. Let’s say they are as follows:
Card 1 is Ace of Clubs (good luck, good news)
Card 2 is 3 of Spades (heartbreak due to a third party in the relationship)
Card 3 is 6 of Hearts (good luck, new love interest)
Card 4 is King of Diamonds (successful, accomplished older man, red or light hair)
Now let’s put together the pieces of this puzzle:
Card 1: What are their desires regarding you?
Ace of Clubs talks about good luck and positive news, so their desires for you are to have a good and promising interaction.
Card 2: What are they thinking about you?
The 3 of Spades talks about someone’s heartbreak related to a third party outside of your interaction. They might think you’re still heartbroken about your ex, or perhaps they’re heartbroken because of their ex. It might seem like a bad thing, but it’s actually good news: they really want things with you to have a chance at working out!
Card 3: What are they feeling regarding you?
The 6 of Hearts fortune telling meaning is that of a new love and good fortune related to relationships. They feel a romantic interest towards you for sure!
Card 4: Where is your connection going?
The King of Diamonds talks about a successful and accomplished person. In the context of your connection, it talks about things going to the next level – excellent news!
Try it!
With the help of this fortune telling spread, you’ll find out where things stand. Get your deck of cards and dare to ask spirit about your love interest.
