Hello! I've struggled with this question before too; it's practically a must-ask for all my Tarot-playing sisters when they meet someone they like. Let me share my experience with you.

Long story short: Tarot cards cannot act like mind-reading, directly telling you "Yes, he's thinking of you right now" or "No, he's not." It's not a surveillance camera or a telepathic device.

But! It can definitely give you many useful clues, telling you about the "energy" and possibilities between you two. You can think of Tarot cards as a friend who is very good at reading the room and observing subtle cues.

How does Tarot "see" this matter?

  1. It looks at the "energy field" between you two: The cards drawn mostly reflect the current overall energy state between you and them. If you draw cards like Two of Cups, The Lovers, or some very warm Cup cards, it indicates a strong emotional connection and energy flow between you. In this case, the possibility of the other person "thinking of you" is very, very high, because your energies are mutually attractive. Conversely, if you draw Three of Swords or The Tower, it suggests there might be misunderstandings, barriers, or an energy blockage between you, meaning they might not be thinking of you at that moment, or they might be thinking about something unpleasant related to your relationship.

  2. It looks at your own "inner projection": Many times, we want to know what the other person is thinking because we ourselves are uncertain. Tarot cards, at this point, act like a mirror, reflecting your deepest desires, fears, and expectations. For example, if you draw The Moon card, it might mean you're full of beautiful fantasies about this relationship, but also very uneasy, and the other person's true thoughts might still be shrouded in mist; what you see might not be the truth. So, it can help you see yourself clearly first.

So, how can you ask questions to get the most useful information?

Instead of directly asking, "Is he/she thinking of me right now?", it's better to ask in a smarter way to get much clearer answers:

  • "What is the current energy of our relationship?" — This can show whether you are close or distant.
  • "What are their true thoughts/feelings about me?" — This is more specific than "are they thinking of me?" and can reveal how they perceive you.
  • "What is hindering the development of our relationship?" — Helps you find the root of the problem.
  • "What can I do next to foster our relationship?" — This is the most useful question! It puts the initiative back in your hands.

For example: If you ask "What are his feelings for me?" and draw the Page of Pentacles, it might mean he has a good impression of you, finds you reliable and down-to-earth, but he's slow to warm up and cautious, currently in a phase of observation and learning, not yet at the stage of "constantly thinking of you." See, isn't the information you get this way much more valuable than a simple "yes/no"?

To summarize: Don't treat Tarot cards as a tool to capture someone else's thoughts; doing so will make you very passive, with your mood fluctuating with the good or bad cards.

Treat it as your emotional consultant. It can help you analyze the "magnetic field" between you and them, clarify your own state, and then offer you some advice on how to move the relationship in a positive direction. The real key is always the actions you choose to take next.

I hope this answer helps you! Secret crushes are beautiful yet tough; I wish you good luck!

Hey there. Regarding this question, I'd like to share a bit of my experience and perspective.

To answer directly: Tarot cards cannot tell you definitively, like a surveillance camera, "Yes, they are thinking of you right now" or "No, they are not." It's not a mind-reading tool.

So, what can Tarot cards do? You can think of them as a mirror, or an energy detector.

  1. They reflect your own inner self and situation: When you ask, "Are they thinking of me?", the cards more often reflect your own intense longing, your desires, your insecurities, and the energetic connection that exists between you and them. For example, you might draw the Two of Cups or The Lovers, which represent a strong connection and emotional flow. However, this energy is what you are feeling, and it doesn't necessarily mean the other person is doing the exact same thing. It's quite possible that your own feelings are so strong that the cards are simply reflecting that.

  2. They can offer you advice and direction: Tarot is better at answering "What should I do?" rather than "What are they doing?" You can rephrase your questions to the cards, for instance:

    • "How should I view our relationship?"
    • "Are there any blind spots I should be aware of in this secret crush?"
    • "What might happen if I take the initiative?"
    • "What is the energetic connection between us like?"

Through these kinds of questions, Tarot can provide you with many useful insights, helping you to see your own state clearly and giving you the courage and wisdom for your next steps. This is far more constructive than simply agonizing over "Are they thinking of me?"

In summary, don't treat Tarot as a surveillance device to pry into other people's thoughts. Instead, see it as a good friend that helps you clarify your thoughts and understand your own heart. It can help you better understand your role in the relationship and how you can influence its development. Having a secret crush can be both beautiful and tormenting – hang in there!
