Feelings Insights: Does He Like Me Tarot Spread

That butterfly feeling when you can’t quite read someone’s signals? We’ve all been there. This 7-card ‘Does He Like Me’ Tarot spread has helped countless clients (and yes, myself too!) decode those mixed messages and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. While nothing replaces honest conversation, these cards can illuminate the unspoken dynamics and help you navigate those early relationship waters with more clarity and confidence.

A good place to start before jumping straight to a marriage reading. :wink:

The Spread

  1. Heart’s Whisper - Your true feelings and attraction towards this person
  2. Mirror of Desire - How he perceives you and his current emotions
  3. Unspoken Words - The communication dynamics between you two
  4. Cupid’s Arrow - Potential for romantic connection or development
  5. Shadow of Doubt - Obstacles or fears hindering the connection
  6. Destiny’s Thread - The most likely outcome of this potential relationship
  7. Key to Connection - Action or approach to enhance your bond

Significant Cards

Every card that comes up in your spread is trying to help give you insight, but some are the linchpins of the message.

  • The Lovers card is a powerful indicator of mutual attraction and potential romance, suggesting a deep connection or important choice ahead.

  • The Two of Cups, a Minor Arcana card, often signifies the beginning of a romantic relationship or a strengthening bond between two people, pointing to shared feelings and emotional harmony.

  • The Knight of Wands, which typically represents passionate pursuit and can indicate that the person in question is eager to make a move or express their interest.

  • The Empress, when she appears, often signals nurturing feelings, attraction, and the potential for a loving, fertile relationship to blossom.

Timing & Preparation

The best time to do a “does he like me” Tarot spread is during the waxing moon phase, particularly on a Friday (associated with Venus and love), when you’re feeling calm and centered. Before beginning, take a few deep breaths and light a pink or white candle to set a peaceful, love-focused mood. It’s also helpful to write down your specific question about the person you’re interested in, to keep your intention clear as you lay out the cards.

Recommended Decks

The Rider-Waite-Smith deck is an excellent choice due to its clear imagery and well-established interpretations, making it easier to read emotions and relationships. The Tarot of Sexual Magic is another great option, as it focuses on romantic and passionate themes, providing layered insights into attraction and desire. For a less conventional choice, consider the Osho Zen Tarot, which offers a fresh perspective on interpersonal connections and self-awareness, helping you understand both your feelings and the other person’s energy. Of course, any deck you feel comfortable with can be used for this type of reading, as the most important factor is your connection to the cards and your intuition.

Reading Tips

When reading a “does he like me” Tarot spread, pay close attention to how the cards interact and tell a story together, rather than focusing too much on individual meanings. Look for patterns like multiple cups cards indicating emotional connection, or pentacles suggesting a desire for stability and commitment. After your reading, take time to journal about your impressions and any intuitive hits you received, as these insights often become clearer with reflection. When it comes to reversals in this type of spread, view them as energy that’s blocked or delayed rather than completely negative—for example, a reversed Lovers card might suggest hesitation about commitment rather than a lack of interest altogether.

What if instead of pulling cards asking ‘Does he like me?’ we shifted to ‘What can I do to make better the connection between us?

Changes the reading from anxious waiting into empowered action, especially when my intuition whispers insights about which cards are trying to guide me toward growth rather than just giving me a yes or no…

So last summer I was doing this exact spread about my now-boyfriend, and position 5 (Shadow of Doubt) kept showing the 7 of Swords (turns out HE was convinced I was out of his league and kept self-sabotaging.

I pulled clarifier cards for each position, which revealed his ex had really done a number on his confidence. Sometimes the ‘obstacles’ aren’t about lack of interest at all, they’re about someone being scared of how much they actually care and this reading I wouldn’t have known where to look.

When reading for someone who has built walls around their heart, the cards become teachers of a different lesson, they may reveal feelings buried so deeply that even the querent hasn’t acknowledged them.

I’m saying you might get an answer you weren’t expecting with a reading like this.

As readers, we must learn to recognize when the cards are showing us truths that exist beyond someone’s current emotional capacity, as this gap between revelation and readiness often becomes our greatest source of misinterpretation. The cards teach us not just what is, but also what someone is prepared to see.

When the High Priestess appears in the feelings position during relationship readings, she often reveals that deep emotions are brewing beneath the surface, like moonlight on still water, present but not yet fully illuminated.

The combination with the 4 of Swords suggests a person in contemplation mode, taking time to process their feelings before making any moves. That 8 of Cups as the path ahead is particularly telling, it whispers of necessary transitions, though whether it’s them leaving their current situation to explore new feelings or you needing to flow toward different waters entirely will depend on how the other cards interact in your spread.

Has anyone tried reversing positions 1 and 2 to see if the energy changes?

Side note: I’ve been tracking my relationship spreads against actual outcomes for 3 years now, and the Ace of Pentacles in ANY position has an 87% correlation with them wanting something real and grounded, not just a fling.

High-key had a reading last week where I pulled Justice and 9 of Swords together in positions 2 and 4, and it was spot-on about how someone was trying to seem fair and balanced on the surface while low-key drowning in anxiety underneath, the Ace of Swords that followed basically screamed that a truth bomb conversation was coming!

The Tower shall appear when hearts are ready to crumble their walls.

One downside that hasn’t been mentioned is confirmation bias. When we really want to hear a specific outcome, we might skew the interpretation to fit our desires, rather than what the cards are actually saying.
