Can I use tarot cards to find out if the other person likes me?

Haha, this is a question I feel nine out of ten people new to Tarot will ask! When I first started playing with cards, I also asked this every day.

My answer is: Yes, but perhaps not in the way you imagine.

Let me give you an analogy, and you'll understand.

Tarot cards are not like a mind-reading machine where you input a question, and it "dings" and tells you "yes" or "no." It's more like a "relationship weather forecaster."

It can't tell you 100% what's on someone else's mind, but it can very clearly depict the current energy, atmosphere, and state of interaction between two people. This is like a weather forecast telling you "partly cloudy with a 30% chance of rain tomorrow," rather than "it will definitely rain 3521 drops tomorrow."

Specifically, Tarot cards can tell you these things:

1. The other person's current "stance" and "energy" towards you.

   • If you draw cards like [The Lovers], [Two of Cups], [Ace of Cups], then congratulations, it's likely "sunny." This indicates the other person's energy is open, connected, and they hold strong affection and emotional flow towards you.
   • If cards like [Three of Swords], [Seven of Swords], [The Moon] appear, it might be "cloudy" or a "thunderstorm." This doesn't necessarily mean the other person "doesn't" like you, but it could suggest misunderstandings, elements of deception between you, or that the other person is confused and unclear about their own feelings.
   • If it's [Knight of Wands], [The Chariot], the other person might currently be fully focused on their career and moving forward, with romantic matters not being a top priority for them. This isn't about liking or disliking, but about timing.

2. Your state in this relationship (this is crucial!) Many times, we focus so much on the other person that we forget to look at ourselves. Tarot often draws a card to reflect your own mindset. Are you too anxious? Are you indulging in unrealistic fantasies? Or are you confident and happy in this relationship? Understanding yourself is more important than trying to figure out the other person.

3. The "potential possibilities" and "sticking points" of this relationship. Tarot will tell you the most likely outcome if things continue as they are. It helps you see the most harmonious aspects between you, as well as where problems or blockages might most easily arise. For example, if the cards show poor communication, you can proactively work on communicating more, instead of passively waiting and guessing.

So, back to your question: Can I use Tarot cards to know if someone likes me?

Yes, but Tarot doesn't give you a simple "yes" or "no" final judgment.

It gives you a detailed "relationship map" and a "weather report." It will tell you:

• "Hmm, from the cards, it seems the other person has a high degree of affection for you, the energy is positive, and you have good potential for development."
• Or, "It looks like the other person is currently hesitant and withdrawn. There might be some unspoken issues between you, requiring you to observe more, or take the initiative to break the stalemate."

The most powerful aspect of Tarot is not giving you an answer to passively accept, but rather returning the initiative to you. When you see the "weather conditions" of your relationship clearly, you can decide whether to bring an umbrella or go sunbathing, instead of foolishly standing still and waiting passively.

So, go ahead and ask boldly! However, next time you do a reading, try rephrasing your question. Instead of asking, "Does he/she like me?", try asking: "Please guide me, what is the true state of our relationship right now? How can I best foster its development?" This way, what you gain from Tarot won't just be a guess, but genuine wisdom and the power to act.

I hope this answer helps you! May you find clarity and strength in your exploration of relationships!

Of course, but with a slight caveat.

Tarot cards aren't like a direct phone line to someone's brain, telling you "Yes, he/she likes you" or "No, he/she doesn't feel anything for you." They can't directly read someone's mind.

Think of them as a mirror, or a weather forecaster.

When you ask "Does he/she like me?", Tarot cards primarily reflect:

1. Your energy and perspective: They will clearly show your feelings for this person, your expectations, your anxieties, and your own state within this relationship.
2. The "vibe" between you: The cards can reveal the overall atmosphere of your current interactions. Is it full of potential, or stagnant? Is it lighthearted and joyful, or filled with misunderstandings?
3. Future possibilities and advice: What they excel at is telling you, based on the current situation, what the most likely direction for this relationship is, and offering you some advice. For example, the cards might suggest you "need to be more proactive," or "the timing isn't right, wait a bit longer," or "you might be misinterpreting some of their signals."

So, you won't get a simple "yes" or "no" answer. You might draw The Lovers card, which typically represents strong attraction and connection, a very positive sign. You might also draw the Three of Swords, which could indicate some heartbreaking or disappointing obstacles currently present.

Better ways to phrase your question are:

• "What is the potential for a romantic relationship between me and XXX?"
• "How can I improve my relationship with XXX?"
• "What do I most need to know right now about my connection with XXX?"

Asking in these ways will allow the Tarot cards to give you clearer, more constructive guidance.

Overall, Tarot cards are a wonderful tool that can help you clarify your thoughts and see the potential dynamics of a relationship, but they cannot replace direct communication with the other person. Ultimately, to know the definitive answer, you still need to feel and confirm it through real-world interaction and communication.
