For centuries, tarot cards have been used for divination and gaining insights into the past, present, and future. The oldest surviving set of tarot cards, the Visconti-Sforza deck, dates back to 16th-century Italy. However, it was not until the late 18th century in France that tarot cards became popular for fortune-telling. The Rider-Waite deck, commissioned by mystic Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith, became widely popular in 1909.
Tarot cards are often associated with astrology, with each zodiac sign having a corresponding card in the Major Arcana. Devotees of tarot reading believe that the cards hold the key to predicting and understanding major life events, including love. With a significant increase in searches for tarot readings over the past year, professional astrologer and diviner Antonella is offering insights into the tarot of love, predicting the best and worst outcomes for love lives.
The Lovers card is a major arcana card that indicates an intense connection and often suggests that a decision needs to be made within one’s love life. When pulled upside down, this card can indicate low self-esteem or an imbalance in a relationship. The Two of Cups symbolizes unity, harmony, and abundance in love. When upright, it can signify blossoming romance or a loving relationship with mutual respect. However, when drawn upside down, it may indicate taking relationships for granted or an imbalanced and resentful connection.
The Ten of Cups card represents stable ground and peaceful energy in love, suggesting a strong foundation for a lasting relationship. When upright, it indicates fulfilling, blissful, and harmonious love that will last a lifetime. However, when drawn upside down, it suggests misalignment in values between partners or destabilizing outside forces affecting the relationship. Overall, these cards provide insights into the potential outcomes of romantic relationships.
In addition to tarot readings, astrology plays a significant role in providing insights into individual zodiac signs and how planetary configurations can influence their lives. Astrologer Reda Wigle integrates history, poetry, pop culture, and personal experience into her horoscopes to provide comprehensive guidance on how planetary movements can affect each zodiac sign. By combining tarot readings and astrology, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their past, present, and future and make informed decisions about their love lives.
