Single and Loving It

Loving who you are benefits all aspects of your life. Look at yourself in the mirror and say: 'I love you.' You deserve to hear it! Stay content with where you are; you are exactly where you need to be. You've got this!

Ready for Love / Dating

Get ready to get what you want! This card in a dating reading points to finding someone you are compatible with and being happy with what you experience in life. Just make sure to ask the universe for the right things. Getting what you want is not always what you need, or it doesn't always manifest in the way you thought it would.

Committed Relationship

You have come a long way together. You both have a life outside the relationship that allows you to bring happiness to each other. You know that enjoying the small things in life and appreciating each other is very helpful. Give thanks for the small and big gestures in your life and enjoy quality time together.

Struggling Relationship

Someone is being a bit selfish. Relationships are about give and take. If you are not meeting your partner's needs, you are not being a good partner. Sorry, but someone had to say it. If you are the recipient of this behavior, it's time to nip it in the bud. You don't want this state of affairs.

The End

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to make the most of the relationship ending. While there is sadness, there is also relief. This is confirmation that the right thing has happened. It's okay to feel grateful without feeling guilty about it.

Visual Description

A person reclines in a clawfoot bathtub filled with suds, laughing with a hand to their chin and the other arm draped over the tub's rim. Above them, nine cup symbols are set inside diamond-shaped tiles arranged across the wall. A wooden bath tray beside the bather holds a glass of wine, a small vase of flowers and a closed book. The wall behind is tiled in blue with a narrow decorative border of small hearts, and the floor shows a few stray bubbles and tiles beneath the tub.
