How this calculator works
A love reading interprets each card from the point of view of relationships. The Two of Cups, for example, means a meeting of minds in general, and in love it reads as mutual attraction turning into a relationship. The three-card spread covers the present situation between you, the attitude that helps, and where things lead as they are. It is most useful as a way to reflect on your own part rather than to pin down what someone else thinks.
Formula
- The deck has 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana in four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles).
- Cards are shuffled and drawn without repeats. With reversals on, each card has a 50% chance of appearing reversed.
- A three-card spread is read as 1 the present, 2 advice, 3 where things are heading.
What the 22 Major Arcana mean for love (upright)
| Card | Keywords | For love |
|---|---|---|
| The Fool | new beginnings, freedom, adventure | An exciting new connection begins, or a relationship gets a lighter, livelier feel. Enjoy the present instead of measuring the future. |
| The Magician | willpower, action, talent | Making the first move takes the relationship forward. Show your interest clearly in words and actions. |
| The High Priestess | intuition, secrets, inner wisdom | There are feelings that have not been spoken. This is a period for learning the other person's heart slowly. |
| The Empress | abundance, nurture, creation | A relationship overflowing with warmth. This card is also linked to news such as marriage or a birth. |
| The Emperor | authority, stability, structure | A dependable, stable relationship. Just be careful about trying to control your partner. |

| The Chariot | victory, drive, determination | Approach actively and the relationship advances quickly. |
| Strength | courage, patience, gentle strength | Consideration and patience make the relationship solid. |
