A Tarot Reading for Reconciling Past Loves
One of the most common questions I come across is: "Will my ex come back?" and fair enough, it's a question that haunted many a quiet and painful moments after some of my tougher breakups. It's a natural human yearning when a past love still holds a piece of your heart, so don't worry- you’re not alone in seeking answers, and tarot can be an incredibly powerful tool to shed light on this complex emotional landscape.
Beyond the "Yes" or "No"
As I previously mentioned in one of my previous blogs "Beyond the Crystal Ball: What Tarot Really Is (And Isn't!)" tarot is not a crystal ball offering a simple "yes" or "no." Instead, it's like a mirror, reflecting your inner truth and guiding you toward the most empowering path forward.
When we ask if an ex will return, we're often looking for a definitive future. However, tarot’s true magic lies in illuminating the present and the potential future based on current energies and choices. It helps you understand:
-
The unspoken dynamics: What truly led to the separation?
-
Your role and their role: What lessons are there for each of you?
-
The path forward: What actions, or inactions, will serve your highest good?
Instead of a prediction, tarot offers profound guidance on how to approach the situation with clarity, wisdom, and self-respect.
The "Paths of Reconciliation" Tarot Spread
To dive deep into the question of reuniting with a past love, I use a tailored tarot spread designed to reveal the nuances of your situation, a twist on the traditional 'Leap of Heqt' spread.
Card 1: Your Current Energy Regarding the Ex
(What emotions, hopes, or fears are you holding onto right now?)
Card 2: Their Current Energy Regarding You
(What might be going on for them, or how do they perceive the situation now?)
Card 3: The Root Cause of the Separation
(A deeper insight into what truly drove you apart, beyond surface-level arguments.)
Card 4: The Path Towards Reconciliation (If Applicable)
(What would need to happen, or what changes would be necessary for a reunion to be possible? This isn't a guarantee, but a map of potential.)
Card 5: The Path Towards Moving On (If Reconciliation Isn't Right/Possible)
(What steps can you take to heal, grow, and open yourself to new possibilities?)
Card 6: The Outcome of Reconciliation (Potential)
(If the reconciliation path is taken, what might the nature of that renewed relationship be?)
Card 7: The Outcome of Moving On (Potential)
(If the moving-on path is chosen, what kind of growth and new experiences await you?)
Decoding the Cards: Pros, Cons, and Crucial Lessons
Remember, the cards paint a picture, not a decree therefore interpreting this spread means looking at the story the cards tell together.
-
Pros of Reconciliation: Cards like The Lovers, Two of Cups, or Ten of Pentacles in positions 4 or 6 might suggest a strong, loving foundation or the potential for a stable future together.
-
Cons or Challenges: The Tower, Five of Swords, or Three of Swords could indicate that too much damage has been done, or that a reunion would bring more conflict than peace.
-
Lessons Learned: The High Priestess, The Hermit, or Strength might appear in position 3, urging you to look inward, learn from your experiences, and develop personal resilience, regardless of the outcome.
The beauty is that even if reconciliation isn't the destined path, the cards will offer powerful insights on how to move forward, heal, and ultimately find happiness, whether with a new love or in your own empowered self.
