There’s this cool bit of history - back in late 1800s Paris, card readers did these spreads for couples to help with bedroom and household harmony. They called them tableaux de concorde.
Fire shows initiative and heat, Water is about receptivity and aftercare, Air covers communication and dirty talk, Earth is your pace and comfort. If you track weekly pulls for a full moon cycle, you can spot patterns. The element that shows up most is probably where you can ease up a bit.
Whatever shows up least is worth focusing on that week.
Got The Hermit three times when I asked about my sex life. Talk about a clear message.
Been doing this thing where you pull cards for each chakra while focusing on your partner. Shows you where things are stuck or flowing. Heart chakra card tends to reveal the truth about what’s happening beyond just the physical stuff.
So I pulled the Ace of Wands last week for a relationship reading. The moon was in its crescent phase, which seemed fitting. That card has such strong fire energy. It reminded me of those early days with my partner, all that passion and creative potential between us.
We both connected with it even though we express things differently. The traditional imagery in tarot can mean more than what’s on the surface. The growing moon kind of matched what we were exploring about intimacy and connection through the cards.
This is new to me - using tarot for healing support. I’ve only seen people use cards for fortune telling stuff. I’m going to try pulling a card tonight. Been dealing with some things lately and maybe this could help. Worth a shot anyway.
Me and my partner do these intimate tarot spreads sometimes.
We pull cards for five different things, romance, emotions, sex, activities to explore, and shadow work with reversals. One time we were doing this spread about power dynamics in our relationship and my cat Midnight just walked through and scattered all the cards. Still haven’t finished that reading.
