Love Tarot Spread: 7 Cards for What Is Coming in Your Love Life

This is the full love reading. Seven cards cover where you are now, what is in the way and what the next year might hold, and it works whether you are single, seeing someone or somewhere in between. If seven feels like a lot, there are shorter spreads further down the page.

How to use it

Lay three cards on top and four below, or the other way round if your table is small. Read them in order and write as you go. I would set aside twenty minutes for this one.

What Is Coming (7 cards)

1. Where your love life stands today. Your starting point. It is worth reading this honestly before you look at anything else.
2. What stands between you and love. The obstacle. Sometimes it is a person, though more often it turns out to be a habit.
3. What the past still carries. An old story that is still shaping the choices you make now.
4. The next few months. The near future, and the card most people came for.
5. The year ahead. The longer arc. I would treat it as a direction and nothing firmer than that.
6. What you cannot control. The part that is not yours to manage. The card is asking you to put it down.
7. Advice for your heart. The last word. If you are only going to remember one card, make it this one.

Questions people ask

Which love spread should a beginner start with? The three-card one, where the cards are you, them and the two of you.

Can I do a love spread if I am single? Yes. The seven-card spread and the singles spread were both written with that in mind.

How far ahead does a love reading look? This spread names the next few months and the year ahead. I would not trust it much beyond that, because too much can change.
