The card in this position provides you with a glimpse of what your agreement with each other might be. It’s a fallacy that everyone you meet is some divine connection. That doesn’t mean that there’s no purpose for them in your life. It’s rare to meet someone your soul already knows, and when you do, well, this tart card can be an indication that you need to pay close attention to that connection. It isn’t always hearts and flowers, though. Sometimes those links from your past are a test, to see how far you’ve come and how much you have grown. Not every soul connection is loving, or even kind. Sometimes a soul that you already know comes to you as a teacher, and not every lesson is one that is pleasant or easy to learn.

Even if a relationship isn’t meant to be long-lasting or committed, it might still be worth your time! What can you learn from it? How will it enable you to grow? These are important questions, questions that this card in your tarot love reading might answer. Investing your time in the relationship means that you’re willing to open yourself to divine energy and go through whatever experience you’re meant to have. You have free will. You can back out of a promising lesson, or you can go head first into something that is not appropriate. The cards will advise you what to do, but at the end of the day, it’s up to you to make the decision, and live with any consequences – positive or negative – of the path you chose.

Ah, now we’re getting to the nitty gritty. This tarot card, in this position, gives you a hint of what’s yet to come. Of course, many factors play into this, and if you do this reading, and then do it again immediately you could get an entirely different result. Why? Because the first reading gave you some knowledge, it changed your awareness. It all gets into quantum physics, you’ll just have to trust me on this one. Even if this is a perfectly positive card, it doesn’t mean that this relationship is a match made in paradise. All relationships have to be worked on. If you’re both not going to invest equal thoughtfulness, respect, and consideration, then things could still fall apart. And don’t worry too much if this is a negative card. It doesn’t mean that your relationship is doomed. It means that there’s work to do if it’s going to last and thrive. Are you both willing to make the effort.
