These Tarot Cards Can Help You Spot The Signs Of A Fake Friend

  • Updated

Seven of Swords

Alas — the Seven of Swords is the hallmark card of betrayal. If you’re concerned that someone in your life is secretly stabbing you in the back, then the Seven of Swords is there to help show you that you need to keep digging deeper until the fake friend is removed. The Seven of Swords warns you to be cautious and protect yourself. It can also mean that someone you trust is keeping secrets from you and doing things behind your back.

Three of Swords

The Three of Swords usually indicates a betrayal followed by a loss. When you receive the Three of Swords in regards to a friendship, it may be showing that this fake friendship will soon be exposed and removed from your life. The Three of Swords could be warning you to prepare yourself for the tense and unhappy end of a false friendship, or it could simply be reminding you that, at the end of every toxic friendship, comes the ability for you to heal and grow anew.

Ten of Swords

The Ten of Swords might appear when you are at or are soon to hit rock bottom. This does not necessarily mean that everything in your life will turn for the worse, but rather that a particular situation will be extremely difficult for you, and will thrust you into the lowest point in this place in your life. This could represent a friendship ending that is hard to come to terms with; it could mean that a friend that betrays you or keeps secrets from you causes you immense pain and heartache. However, the Ten of Swords is also a reminder that once you’ve experienced this loss, the only way you can possibly go is upwards and onwards to better things.

The Devil

The Devil usually appears when we are intwined in a relationship that is no longer serving us. It can indicate toxic friendships and manipulation; if you pull the Devil along with other cards on this list, it could be trying to tell you that you are being used by someone close to you. This could be part of the betrayal you have yet to witness, or the Devil could merely be showing you that it’s time to cut ties with the toxic relationship you’ve grown too dependent on.
