Reading 1: “We Found Love” by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris

Lyrics: “Yellow diamonds in the light. Now we’re standing side by side, as your shadow crosses mine. We found love in a hopeless place.”

Your Cards: Queen of Cups, reversed, Queen of Wands, reversed, Strength

In its reversed position, the Queen of Cups indicates insecurity and emotional immaturity. This tells me that in the past, you weren’t quite ready for love – you needed to prioritize self-care and learn how to set boundaries. Clinginess and/or emotional neglect may have been patterns in past relationships that you want to avoid moving forward. The Queen of Wands, reversed, tells me that right now you need to work on re-establishing confidence and self-respect. You may be feeling avoidant and introverted, and suffering from low self-esteem. This is a call to reclaim your inner power, because only then can you manifest your dream love. Luckily, true love is definitely in your future – the Strength card reveals that you will step into your power and find your inner strength. You’ll learn how to overcome challenges with grace and patience. The overall message is, to find love, you need to do some work on yourself first. Practice self-love and self-compassion, and discover how amazing you truly are. Only once you love yourself fully and completely will you manifest the dream love you’ve been looking for and deserve.

Reading 2: “Accidentally in Love” by Counting Crows

Lyrics: “I’m a snowball running, running down into the spring that’s coming. All this love, melting under blue skies, belting out sunlight, shimmering love.”

Your Cards: King of Cups, 10 of Cups, 8 of Swords

The King of Cups tells me that you possess emotional intelligence, empathy, and a deep understanding of love. In past relationships, you’ve been nurturing and compassionate. You’re very in touch with your feelings, and you know how to navigate them with wisdom and grace. The 10 of Cups tells me that currently, you’re in a place of emotional fulfillment, harmonious relationships, and domestic bliss. Basically, you’re perfectly prepared to find love right now! This is a period of abundance and belonging, so lean into what feels good. The 8 of Swords suggests that the only thing stopping you from manifesting your dream love is you. You may feel trapped or restricted, or find yourself stuck in a victim mentality. But these situations you’ve created in your mind aren’t real; they are self-imposed limitations. To get the love you want and deserve, you must free yourself from fear, self-doubt, and self-limiting beliefs. You are enough, and worthy of love, exactly as you are!

Reading 3: “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey

Lyrics: “You’ll always be a part of me, I’m part of you indefinitely. Boy don’t you know you can’t escape me, oh darling ’cause you’ll always be my baby.”

Your Cards: 3 of Cups, The Emperor, 2 of Wands reversed

The 3 of Cups tells me that in the past, you were more focused on friendships and building your community than romance – which isn’t a bad thing! You’ve had lots of fun and created important, lasting connections. The Emperor represents stability, security, order, and discipline. This tells me that you have grown up a lot, taken on more responsibility, and are ready for a mature relationship. The 2 of Wands, reversed, indicates that what’s stopping you from finding love is indecision or fear of change. You may have to leave an unsatisfying situation, whether it’s a job, location, or even another relationship, to find the love of your dreams. Yes, you’ve worked hard to get where you are now, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay there forever. Avoid complacency and embrace change, because that’s how you’ll manifest the love you truly want and deserve.
