Your Relationship Challenge: Tarot Pick a Card

Hello, my soul friends! Today I have an important psychic tarot reading on your relationship. If you were drawn to this reading, then the universe thinks you have a challenge that you should address for your happiness.

All you have to do is follow your intuition and pick the pile that sticks out to you the most. That image is your path to a message from the universe designed for you.

After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.

For this reading, I’ve chosen the Mystical Manga Tarot deck (affiliated link). Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading.

Now let’s uncover what this relationship challenge is and how to handle it.

Pile 1: Bag

Domestic Disharmony

The future of your relationship is in danger because of a wrong assumption. I do think that this relationship will proceed in the short-term well enough and even seem like it can last, but the problem indicated by this spread needs to be addressed or you’ll be on the road to a breakup.

Your first card, Ten of Coins, Reversed, indicates that you and your partner don’t agree when it comes to important domestic concerns. These include housing, money, family, health, and chores.

These kinds of issues are known to cause problems for any couple. Those seeking marriage from the beginning will usually call these issues dealbreakers and filter out potential partners early in the dating process.

Perhaps you fell in love at first sight or your partner wasn’t as forthcoming about your incompatibility with each other. Sometimes a couple may not even know that these incompatibilities exist or have a change of heart.

The point isn’t that you should break up because of this disagreement, but that you’ll need to accept a compromise or sacrifice for the relationship to proceed.

Strongly Held Beliefs

Your second card, The High Priestess, Reversed, suggests that you or your partner had a strongly held belief about the relationship which is proving to be wrong.

This can take many forms. For most of you, this will be an assumption of the other’s character instead of finding out the truth. This is usually because people assume they can “fix” their partner of their flaws or that their partner will get better over time.

However, personal growth is never guaranteed and this seems to be the case for one of you.

Another possibility is a difference in spiritual or political beliefs. Those who already feel strongly one way or the other tend to filter out someone with opposite beliefs early on, but if you got into a relationship where one person was undecided, they could then decide to go the opposite later on in life.

For example: a strong atheist marries an agnostic. Later, the agnostic becomes very spiritual and the two no longer have the same values.

That’s the kind of dynamic I’m seeing in your spread. One of you went from being ambivalent about something to being very passionate about something the other disagrees with.

This needs to be addressed now or you’ll have a bigger breakup later. Don’t assume you know someone’s deeply held beliefs until you really ask them. People tend to change internally before they show it externally and the change is already in motion.

The Elephant in the Room

Every day, people with different habits or lifestyles manage to have happy relationships. But this requires acting in a way most do not. Your last card, Five of Cups, suggests you need to accept this difference or the relationship won’t last.

This acceptance may come in the form of agreeing with your partner to a compromise, or it could lead to one of you choosing to live the way the other prefers instead.

A smaller example would be cleaning: a clean freak may be unable to change their slobby partner’s ways so they either take on all the cleaning themselves or hire a housekeeping service to keep their sanity.

A bigger example would be religion: a person decides to either convert to their partner’s religion or raise their children in that religion. Or perhaps they both decide to have their own religious beliefs, but can never bring up criticisms among each other.

Regardless, never assume the nuclear option in your partner for anything. Always have a conversation about what a compromise would look like if one could exist. But know that sometimes there is no compromise.

Don’t leave the important conversations till the last minute. I sense that you’re doing this right now with something and you can save yourself a lot of trouble later if you tend to it now.

Pile 2: Mushrooms

Don’t Try to Win

You recently had a victory in your relationship, but that victory came at a cost you may not be willing to pay.

The first card in your spread, Five of Swords, means that you played what you thought was a zero-sum game. This is where you believe there can only be winners and losers. Keeping score with your partner is never a good idea.

Sometimes this can be over small things, like who does the most chores. It would be a bad idea to start tallying up points and then declaring moral judgments against your partner. This usually is the result of a couple not having clear standards and responsibilities, so one eventually gets upset that the other doesn’t read their mind.

But it can be over big things too. Arguments from petty grievances can snowball into much bigger issues as well. Be aware of the four horsemen of divorce: criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt.

All the cards in your spread are minor arcana. This tells me the issue is still small and can be easily resolved if you want to. However, the potential is here and can get worse even without tragic events like cheating occurring.

In the Wrong

You’ll likely see this challenge manifest materially first. The next card in your spread, King of Coins, Reversed, means that you or your partner is going to act in a way that hurts your household.

This will likely be poor spending or health habits. It could also be something like not doing chores. Either way, there’s a tangible thing that manifests or doesn’t manifest. It can be measured.

The person who has these traits will not realize they’re the opposite of what they believe they are. This is the primary reason why the zero-sum game is taking place. One of you believes they’re right even though they’re wrong.

That doesn’t mean they’re the ones responsible for the four horsemen of divorce. For some in this pile that’s true, but for others, the other person in the relationship is the one expressing these traits.

The first thing you need to do is to identify who is factually wrong about their perception of self and help them change it. Until then, the other person needs to be forgiving. Once enlightened, there’s a good chance they’ll change their ways out of love for the other person.

A Romantic Crowd

The final card is the Three of Cups, Reversed. This indicates unhappiness, but also emotional detachment that leads to someone in the relationship looking for love elsewhere.

Couples have arguments all the time, but couples should still feel as if they’re experiencing love from their partner. If one of you feels like you’re only receiving harsh judgment, then they’ll look for love elsewhere.

This could lead to cheating but don’t discount the fact the person feeling unloved breaks up before that even happens. So don’t assume a relationship will last just because there isn’t someone currently cheating.

But, as I wrote earlier, these are all minor arcana cards and this relationship is easily salvageable. You may not even be anywhere close to the most negative things this spread indicates. Rather, see this particular reading as a warning to what could happen.

Your goal right now is to identify the person who has the wrong perception of themselves and help them change, whether that’s your partner or yourself. And then use mindfulness strategies to help check any of the four horsemen of divorce you’re experiencing.

Some families have weekly or monthly meetings where they discuss important matters. This might be a good strategy for you so that you can have calm and productive conversations about things that annoy you and work towards a solution.

Lasting love is within your grasp!

Pile 3: Clock

Things Went Right at First

Something went right in your relationship, but then it went very wrong. I think you may not even be fully aware of it right now.

Your first card, Justice, indicates there was some kind of uplifting karmic event. This made it seem like the future of your relationship was very bright. And anyone looking at your relationship would objectively say that’s true.

Perhaps you argued or even got back together with an ex. All previous problems were either resolved or resolved well enough that you’re no longer concerned about the past.

You and your partner are likely in agreement over this assessment. So, because of this, you’re unaware of new growing tensions because you’re comparing them to what happened in the past.

Just because things right now aren’t as bad as they used to be doesn’t mean something’s not right. And something’s not right.

Bad Behavior

Your second card, Judgement, Reversed, tells me that while the initial act of justice was right, the execution of that went very wrong.

Notice the couple of this card. Upright, this would be them rising from their graves, but as a reversal, they’re falling from heaven into the arms of fallen angels.

You can’t control what you’re partner is doing. It’s possible and even likely they’re responsible for some bad behavior. However, so are you.

But I don’t think you recognize that the execution of your relationship leaves much to be desired. You and your partner may have a lot of chemistry or are acting in a way that is, on the surface correct.

However, there’s something twisted in your behaviors that’s very damaging to your relationship. Because there are two major arcana cards in your spread, this indicates a very serious issue at play.

Example: a couple was on the verge of divorce, went to therapy, and happily reconciled over the original issue. But the couple developed new bad habits wherein they stop discussing things or doing things with each other if a third party isn’t around them. Without a therapist, family, or friends, they never actually spend quality time together.

Pay attention to your new behavior that’s manifested recently and ask yourself what would happen if this continued.

Don’t Try to Win a Divorce: Win Love

The last card in your spread is the Seven of Swords. This is the theft card, but I tend to read it upright as you being the one stealing from others and it being advantageous to you.

So this indicates that the blowup of your relationship will benefit you. This benefit is like the temptation of a snake: you won’t act in ways to invest in your relationship or save it. This will lead to all kinds of justifications for you to eventually end things.

What you’re doing doesn’t feel bad to you, but it’s hurting your partner. And perhaps they’re doing the same to you, but you’re still coming out on top.

The solution isn’t to sacrifice for your partner as they’re also at fault in some way, but to come together and figure out how to resolve your new bad relationship habits as a couple.

If it’s a struggle to do in your current life context, try adding something. Go on a date in a different situation, especially if it’s something where you solve a minor problem. This would be like going to trivia night with your partner and being on the same team. Don’t seek out a difficult problem – make it a fun one.

There’s some level of alienation in your spread that needs to be resolved and I think that can be done by finding a way to do things together where you earn a reward as a team.
