Timing matters more than identification. My husband and I orbited each other for over 20 years without knowing it. His dad sold brushes at my house when I was 10. He rode dirt bikes in the fields where I hung out as a kid. We ran into each other at the grocery store during my third marriage (living just 5 miles apart the whole time).
This is why I prefer a future love Tarot spread instead of a drawing. You get much more information and it’s actually usable. What was I going to do, just carry a photo around with me and hold it up to people to compare? We finally met at 32 and 37, after a ton of life for both of us. We needed all that mess to be ready. No drawing or reading changes the universe’s timeline.
