I still canāt figure out who will win love island but i did a trinity and Bryce post villa reading and a sinisterā¦i mean sincere! and Melanie reading. Iām under the weather so i will try my best to do the others as well.
how they genuinely feel in the villa right now
bryceās feelings: two of wands + queen of cups
trinityās feelings: king of wands + the lovers
shared energy: queen of wands + nine of wands
right now in the villa, the feelings are absolutely real. it is not a fake connection. bryce sees her as his queen of cups, which means he thinks she is beautiful, emotionally intuitive, nurturing, and heās looking toward the future with her (two of wands). trinity feels an intense, passionate, fated alignment with him (the lovers) and sees him as confident, a true man, an attractive leader figure. like, she knows he has shit under control and in the real world i think she likes guys like that. (king of wands). I like the queen of cups and king of wands combo for them. she gets to be soft, he gets to be in charge/lead, rather than her doing it. as we see she does have a strong personality so i think she loves that she can be soft around him.
but look at that shared energy. queen of wands and nine of wands. they are a gorgeous, high-profile, attractive couple on screen, but they are both sitting behind defensive walls. the nine of wands is the wounded warrior. they have intense chemistry, but they are both guarded, likely hyper-aware of the pressure and the cameras, keeping their shields up even while falling for each other.
his cards: the high priestess (reversed), queen of cups, the magician (reversed), king of pentacles (reversed)
after they get out of the villa, bryce will be overthinking the absolute fuck out of their connection, and his insecurities are going to completely hijack his brain once the cameras drop.
the queen of cups stays upright because his genuine love and emotional adoration for trinity never changes. he is still utterly captivated by her. but the problem is entirely within himself. the high priestess reversed is a massive drop in trustānot necessarily because she did anything wrong, but because his own intuition gets completely warped by anxiety. this is all a card of not going with your gut, and trusting other peopleās incorrect opinions.
with the magician reversed and the king of pentacles reversed, he feels totally powerless and financially/status-wise insecure next to her. the six of wands attention sheās getting is going to trigger him. heās going to look at her success, her fame, and how the world treats her like an empress, and he may feel like he isn't man enough, successful enough, or stable enough to keep her. the distrust comes from his own mind telling him, "she's too good for me, so there's no way this can last." he project his own feelings of inadequacy onto her.
her cards: six of wands, ten of cups, the empress, the nine of wands
trinity is coming out of that villa ready to give him everything. she has the ten of cups (pure emotional fulfillment, wanting the whole fairytale with him) and the empress (deep, unconditional love, abundance, and devotion). she genuinely cares about this man with her whole heart.
but she is also sitting in the six of wands energy. she is getting the spotlight, the victory, the public acclaim, and the attention. and because she is thriving in that spotlight while still carrying her own past baggage (nine of wands), she is keeping her guard up while trying to balance it all. she may have her walls up because of the sudden fame and pressure, or she is looking at bryceās insecurity spiral and feeling like she is constantly having to defend the relationship against his doubts. she wants the fairytale, but she feels like she's fighting a battle to keep it safe.
will they survive the real world?
the cards: knight of swords (reversed), eight of pentacles, two of cups, eight of wands, ace of wands
honestly? this is an incredible lineup for survival, but it requires one specific shift.
the knight of swords reversed is about poor communication. communication is the key. it means they have to stop the defensive, anxious bickering. they have to stop letting their words cut each other when the pressure gets heavy.
if they can ground that chaotic energy, the rest of these cards are pure gold. you have the eight of pentacles right next to the two of cups. that is the literal definition of putting in the daily, manual labor to choose your partner and work on a real relationship.
the eight of wands and the ace of wands is a massive explosion of sudden, passionate momentum, raw chemistry, and a completely fresh spark. the physical and emotional attraction between them is going to hit a brand new high once they get past the initial post-show shock.
they are absolutely capable of surviving the real world, but it is going to require bryce to stop spiraling into his king of pentacles reversed insecurities, and it's going to require both of them to drop the defensive armor (nine of wands) so they can actually work together (eight of pentacles) on the genuine love they have (two of cups). because it is real chat!!! brinity for the win ā¤ļø
how they genuinely feel right now in the villa
his card: three of pentacles
melanie genuinely, truly cares about this man. unfortunately, she really does. she is sitting in that empress energy, giving him real devotion and unconditional care, and really really wants to continue to nurture the connection and provide a safe space for sincere to grow upā¦itās giving mommy energy and she deserves better!
on sincereās side, the three of pentacles does not feel like deep romantic devotion by itself, but it does show effort, cooperation, and a willingness to build with her in the environment they are currently in. in the villa, he may genuinely see them as a good team. he recognizes that they work well together, or at least that being aligned with her makes sense right now. this feels like him trying to play his part, stay on the same page, and contribute to the connection while they are still inside the villa structure.
sincereās energy post-villa
the cards: eight of wands reversed, nine of cups reversed, two of cups reversed, ace of pentacles, the hermit
post-villa, his energy feels like it will slow down hard. the eight of wands reversed is momentum dying, communication becoming inconsistent, or that fast-paced chemistry losing steam once they are no longer in the same controlled environment. right now, the connection may feel exciting because everything is heightened: cameras, pressure, attraction, competition, and being around each other 24/7. but once real life hits, that urgency could fade quickly for himā¦no real commitment from him after they get out.
the nine of cups upright is about someone checking off all your boxes and being everything you ever wanted, but reversed, he is gonna feel like she doesn't satisfy him and she isn't good enough for him. the connection is completely severed because she is missing a lot of his values and he realize you're not my type, i'm not happy with you.
with the two of cups reversed, this is him not wanting to be with her anymore, due to a sever in their connection. currently, he feels like they match and although theyāre not alike, they fill eachotherās gaps. reversed being in their future tells me he will essentially be like āI donāt think weāre good together anymoreā and āI lost my feelings for youā. heās just gonna feel like they are no longer aligned emotionally
the ace of pentacles is interesting because it makes me feel like there is still an opportunity attached to this connection. even if the romance becomes uncertain, there may be a very real incentive to keep showing up together publicly. brand deals, interviews, appearances, followers, money, status ā all of that could become part of why he stays connected longer than he emotionally wants to.
OR, he will leave her, once a golden opportunity comes to him that has nothing to do with her. once he realizes there is motion outside of them as a pair in his end, i genuinely think heās going to take that opportunity to leave.
then the hermit makes his energy feel distant. he may pull back, go quiet, become more private, or frame it as needing time to focus on himself. this could be genuine self-reflection, but next to these other cards, it also feels like a convenient way to detach without fully admitting that his feelings changed. it gives āi need to work on myselfā energy, but the deeper truth may be that the connection just is not hitting the same for him anymore.
melanieās energy post-villa
the cards: emperor reversed, ace of swords, eight of swords, king of cups reversed
melanieās post-villa energy feels like a loss of control. the emperor reversed can show instability, power struggles, or realizing that something she thought was secure is not actually secure. she may feel like the dynamic shifts in a way she cannot manage or predict. I personally also channeled her realizing that sincere is a major control freak because he doesnāt like not feeling in control of narratives, her, their relationship, etc. I kept seeing all the lies he told in the villa and I was essentially told he does this because he doesnāt like giving other people power over him.
the ace of swords gives her clarity, though. this is her seeing the truth more sharply. she will start noticing patterns she ignored before, or she may finally understand where his emotional maturity is lacking. this card feels like a moment where she cannot unsee something. her lightbulb will turn on eventually.
the king of cups reversed can point to emotional inconsistency, emotional manipulation, moodiness, or someone not being as emotionally grounded as they presented themselves to be. his emotional behavior could become confusing, disappointing, or hard for her to trust. I also think sheās gonna realize he is emotionally unstable asf and I kept hearing āyou donāt care about meā āyou never cared about meā
because she actually cared, the eight of swords makes sense. she may feel stuck in her head, overthinking, embarrassed, or trapped by the public nature of the connection. it is one thing to realize someone is not showing up the way you hoped. it is another thing to realize it while everybody is watching, commenting, and expecting answers. this feels less like she is physically trapped and more like she mentally feels boxed in by the situation. I also donāt think it will be easy for her to accept because itās humiliating. sheās not gonna wanna believe he did this to her. thatās harder to accept.
the cards: the magician + the king of pentacles
this is why i do not think everything explodes immediately. the magician and the king of pentacles together feel strategic. there is manifestation energy here, but also business energy. both of them may understand that there is something valuable attached to keeping things together, or at least keeping things presentable for a while.
the magician says they know how to work the moment. the king of pentacles says there is stability, money, image, and long-term opportunity involved. so even if the emotional side becomes complicated, the public-facing side may still be handled carefully because there is a bag attached to this.
OR (this is what I feel stronger), regardless of whether they are together or not, their main goal is to manifest the lives they went on this show to have. so it may be a team facade, or them breaking up but still gaining major success and the life they want/success as individuals. especially for Melanie, I think sheās gonna get a lot of new opportunities that she will be focused on regardless of what sinister is doing to her behind closed doors.
