How the Love Spread reading works
This spread compares two people side by side. The You and Them cards are read against each other by element, which shows whether your energies support or strain one another.
The Them card is read for feelings, so it answers the question most people are really asking.
Love Spread questions
Can I use this for someone I'm not dating?
Yes. It works for a crush, an ex, a friendship or a situationship. Focus on the person while you choose.
Can tarot tell me what they're thinking?
No reading can see inside another person. The Them card offers a perspective on their side, which is most useful as a prompt for an honest conversation.
