How to word a relationship question

  • Put the connection or yourself at the center. “What is going on between us?” works better than “What does he think?”
  • Add a time frame. “In the next three months” makes the answer specific.
  • Don’t build the answer into the question. “Why has he gone cold?” already assumes he has.
  • One topic per reading. Jealousy and moving in together are two different questions.

Detailed rules are in the article “How to ask tarot cards questions the right way”.

Questions about a relationship with a man

  • How does he feel about me right now?
  • What matters to him in our relationship?
  • What are his intentions for the next six months?
  • What should I understand about his character?
  • How can I talk to him about what’s bothering me?
  • What brings us closer, and what pushes us apart?

The “What does he think of me” spread suits these questions. Remember that the cards describe a situation; they don’t read another person’s mind, so it’s better to check your conclusions in a conversation.

Questions about new and future relationships

  • What will help me meet the right person?
  • What is stopping me from starting a relationship?
  • What kind of person will I be happy with?
  • What should I pay attention to at the start of a new relationship?
  • Does this new connection have a future?
  • What do I really want from a relationship?

Questions about a couple and a relationship crisis

  • What is happening in our relationship right now?
  • What is the real reason behind our arguments?
  • What can each of us do to reach an understanding?
  • What is missing from our relationship?
  • What will help restore trust?
  • Should we move in together (get married) this year?
  • Where is our relationship heading if nothing changes?

For questions about a couple, the Relationship spread is convenient: it has positions for each partner and for the connection between them.

Questions about an ex

  • Why did our relationship end?
  • What did I take away from this relationship?
  • Is it worth getting back in touch?
  • What will help me let go of this relationship?
  • What would be different if we got back together?

If you keep asking about your ex again and again, it’s more honest to ask yourself: “What do I need in order to move on?”

Questions about compatibility

  • How do we complement each other?
  • Where do our values differ?
  • What does each of us bring to the relationship?

For compatibility by date of birth there are separate tools: destiny matrix compatibility and tarot card combinations, which describe how cards affect each other in love readings.

Questions better left unasked

  • “Is he cheating on me?” — the cards won’t give you proof, and the suspicion will only grow. It’s more useful to ask: “What is happening with the trust between us?”
  • “When will he call me?” — the cards don’t show exact dates.
  • Questions about someone else’s relationship — they aren’t about you.

Every factual statement — about the history of decks, what a deck contains, what authors wrote — has a footnote. The text was then checked by a separate AI instance that took no part in writing it: it compared the facts with the footnotes, and errors were corrected. The English version is a translation of the original Russian article.

We describe reading practices — how to shuffle, charge or “cleanse” a deck — as traditions and habits of tarot readers, not as proven methods: there is no scientific evidence for divination. Read more on our editorial policy page. Found a mistake? Let us know via the contact form.
