Hi Friends,

Do you need to hit the reset button in your love life? Are you at a romantic crossroads and in need of some greater clarity?

Look no further! The cards that appeared for your love reading are powerful!

Change, new beginnings in love, having choices in love, and independent thinking are energies you can expect to experience over the weekend.

If something ends, do not worry because the Universe is sending you a better relationship to replace it. That could be with another person or by developing a healthier relationship with yourself first.

Be open to the possibilities heading your way and an opportunity for a fresh start! Let’s take a look at your cards.

Card #1: Death | Change And Renewal

People tend to groan and become concerned when they see the Death card appear in a reading. Don’t be!

This card can indicate some positive events like beginnings, a change for the better, and renewal.

You’ve been working hard to improve yourself this year and the Death card is confirmation that you are growing spiritually and emotionally.
Congrats!

You may be moving on from a person, situation, or thinking pattern that is no longer serving you.

In numerology, the number eight indicates total stability and movement.

Change is a part of life. Fall turns into winter, winter turns into spring, and spring turns into summer. We are a part of this cycle, which means change is a part of our existence.

The Death card is associated with the Scorpio in the zodiac. This sign is passionate, mysterious, emotionally strong, individualistic, and rebellious.

If you look closely at this tarot card, the Sun is rising in the background and the color blue marks up most of the landscape.

Blue is a positive color that represents our emotions, peace, and intuition; and in Tarot, the Sun is often considered the best card in the deck!

If a relationship is ending, or you are going through a transition in your feelings and emotions about someone, trust that it is in your best interest.

When you see your next card, you’ll understand why!

Card #2: The Lovers | Choices, Love, And Union

This is the second Major Arcana card in your weekend reading.

(The first was the Death card.) This means that major themes in your life are changing!

It’s a relief to receive the Lovers card after the Death card. The Lovers card is about choices, being attracted to someone, love, union, the need to make a clear decision, and even trials to overcome.

The angelic being on the Lovers card is believed to be Archangel Raphael. What is interesting about this card popping out for this weekend is Archangel Raphael is a BIG part of the Astrology for August. 

This Archangel helps with healing, safe travels, and finding a good partner. His name literally means, “God heals”. 

If you have to overcome a difficult pattern or obstacle in your relationship, the Lovers card is encouraging you to make a clear decision about it as you move forward. 

So, if you do wind up leaving a relationship, Archangel Raphael will be there to help you heal. 

The Lovers card is associated with the number six which represents harmony and success. 

This is great because the Death card can seem unfortunate and tough, but the Lovers card is assuring you that any loss or change you experience will have a positive outcome.

In Tarot, the zodiac sign that is connected to the Lovers card is Gemini, which is cooperative and adaptable. These are great energies to tap into when experiencing change. 

Gemini is also ruled by Mercury which is social, witty, and intelligent.

These positive traits can help you start a new relationship with a love interest or get through a time of change! 

Although change is at hand, and different choices are available to you now, you still may need to gain clarity. This is where your next card comes into play.

CARD #3: QUEEN OF SWORDS | CLEAR THINKING

Have you been wanting to communicate better in your relationships? Is there an older woman or mother figure in your life who gives you trusted advice?

The Queen of Swords symbolizes clear thinking and communicating.

In Tarot, Queens represent women, femininity, a mother figure, and being receptive. Swords are associated with the element of Air which is also the element connected to your last card, the Lovers. 

Clearly the Universe is asking you to use your mind more than your emotions during this time of change, and to be flexible as things unfold. 

The Queen of Swords represents a woman who is detached from emotion and can think, speak, and act independently. 

This could be someone in your life or you! 

Perhaps you have dinner each week at your mother or aunt’s house and they ask about your love life. This would be an opportunity for you to share about the changes occurring and for them to give you wise guidance based on their experience.

It could also be that because of the change and personal growth you are experiencing, you are clearer about the type of person you want to be with; or you may receive clarity that you don’t want to be in a relationship right now. 

If you look closely at the Queen of Swords card you will see clouds and butterflies. 

Clouds represent higher thought and messages from the Universe. During this time, you could receive a sign that is helpful or confirms what you are thinking. 

I would be on the lookout for butterflies, birds, or anything that catches your eye when you look at the card.

Butterflies are all about change because of the metamorphosis the caterpillar experiences when transforming into a butterfly. 

On the Queen of Swords card, though, butterflies symbolize changes in thoughts.

KEEP STAYING BALANCED

One of the challenges with the Queen of Swords is the temptation to detach from your emotions. 

When change, an ending, or beginning occurs in your life, it’s important not to process the experience only in your mind. 

Instead, feel the emotions that you’re experiencing through the change so you don’t keep them bottled up inside. 

The Queen of Wands is a strong, independent thinker and communicator; so consider using the energy of this card to express your thoughts and emotions about the change you experienced. 

Let it out!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the new horizons that are opening up for you!

With Love and Gratitude,
