good morning! uhm, do you believe in soulmates/twin-flames and such? I ask cause with my beginner knowledge I find the 6 of cups related to that, but I was hoping you could point out more cards that can speak to you about any of that cause I feel like I could be wrong (since it’s a card that represents the past so maybe works better for past lives/karma themes?)
I don’t dig the concept of twinflame. I’m okay with the idea of soulmate. Note that I don’t remember all of the cards in a Tarot deck lol, so these are what I can remember. This is just a general guideline, it can change on a case-by-case basis.
Cards for love relationship:
1. Common cards that are strongly associated with love;
The Lovers (a strong bond, soulmates)
2 of Cups (soulmates, equals)
6 of Cups (caring for the other, soft spot, familiarity; so it can be about family or people you want to look after)
2. Related cards that can emphasize the message;
4 of Wands (home, marriage)
10 of Cups (soul family, supportive community)
10 of Pentacles (family, heritage). Might feel colder than 10 of Cups.
The Hierophant (marriage)
3. Other cards that can denote romantic/sexual feelings;
Page of Cups (crush, lightheartedness, a bit awkward)
Knight of Cups (offer of love, romance, courting)
Ace of Cups (interest in & possibility for an emotional connection)
Ace of Wands (sexual interest, possibility for passion)
Knight of Wands (sexual interest, passion)
The Devil (sexual interest, obsession)
If you get many cards from number 1, that can signify a strong soulmate bond type of relationship. It may or may not last. The Lovers may also carry soul lessons.
If you get card(s) from number 1 and 2, that can signify a soulmate and long-term OR serious relationship. The kind of person you talk about building a home and having a pet/kid with. A plus point if there’s Justice, for contract. *Except for The Empress, not necessarily about a long-term thing.
If you get cards from number 1 and/or 3, it can signify romantic relationships in general.
If you only get cards from number 3, the relationship is probably in the early stage OR nothing serious/deeper is going on. The only thing that can make it deeper is The Devil, but this isn’t necessarily romantic.
Earth influenced cards + Water influenced cards, can signify a long-term emotional connection. Earth influence has a grounding and stabilizing effect on an emotional connection.
Pay attention to pairs that come up in a love reading. The Empress + The Emperor. King of Wands + Queen of Wands. This can signify a strong partnership, basically the couple vibe well with each other. The roles might be a lot more traditional tho.
King & Queen that are not from the same Suit, can signify an equal partnership, but they might have a different (but not necessarily bad) dynamic and challenge in comparison to King & Queen from the same Suit. Can be applied to King/King and Queen/Queen. Eg. King of Pentacles, Queen of Cups.
Major arcana should be prioritized, Major arcana cards carry soul lessons that can transform you.
“Maybe 6 of Cups works better for past lives/karma themes?”
For 6 of Cups to signify romantic feelings, it would be better if there were other lighthearted or loving cards; Ace of Cups, 2 of Cups, The Lovers.
For 6 of Cups to signify the past, especially about karma; I personally would look at the presence of other heavier cards, eg. The Hermit, Judgement, The Moon, 5 of Cups, 3 of Swords, 6 of Swords, etc. It doesn’t have to be this way tho.
