General Love Meaning

This is a signal from the universe that you need to be very clear about what you want and need from a relationship, not sitting on the fence about deal-breaking factors. Know what you stand for and what you will and will not accept in a relationship. A little compromise is normal, but compromising on everything is settling.

Single and Loving It

Have the knowledge that you are living an authentic life for yourself. You know what you desire in your life and you won't give in to pressure from others. This can also be the card of gossip. If your love life is the talk of some bored married people, let them talk. You have better things to do with your time.

Ready for Love / Dating

Being mentally stimulated is exciting for you, and you're ready to find someone who can ignite your brain ALL the way. Don't play dumb because you think someone will be put off by you. You need someone who can talk about the things you love and challenge you intellectually. This card says they will arrive soon.

Committed Relationship

Verbal swords have been drawn and there is unrest in the home. It will pass and can be healed as long as you all put down your swords and reconnect. Spend some time figuring out what needs aren't being met and start from there.

Struggling Relationship

It's time to drop the bullshit. No more lies, no more pretending everything is okay when it's not. Stop the cutting remarks and passive-aggressive nonsense to become vulnerable and say what needs to be said. You don't want to be that person who only hurts the person they love. Even if you don't love them anymore, you once did. Remember that.

The End

This Tarot card is the universe's line in the sand, so don't cross it. The relationship is over and there's no going back now. It may be challenging and other people might not like it, but you have done what's right for you. If they're trying to manipulate you, DON'T send messages back and forth. Block their number if necessary.

Visual Description

A single upright sword floats at the center of the image, its blade pointing upward and a heart-shaped pommel below the hilt. A tall arch made of stacked books rises from two piles on the grassy ground and curves over the sword, forming a rainbow-like gateway. The scene is set in a green field dotted with small red flowers beneath a bright blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.
