How to Read The Ex Lovers Tarot Deck

Welcome to The Ex Lovers Tarot

Whether you're a seasoned reader or just beginning your tarot journey, The Ex Lovers Tarot deck is a powerful tool for self-reflection, clarity, and connection. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start reading with confidence.

Getting to Know Your Deck

Before your first reading, spend some time with your cards. Shuffle them slowly, hold them in your hands, and let your energy connect with the deck. Many readers like to sleep with a new deck nearby or carry it with them for a few days before their first reading.

The Ex Lovers Tarot follows the traditional 78-card structure, divided into the Major Arcana (22 cards representing life's big themes) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards covering everyday situations across four suits) and one extra Ex Lovers card.

Setting the Scene

Create a calm, intentional space for your reading. You might light a candle, play soft music, or simply sit in a quiet room. The goal is to quiet your mind so you can tune into your intuition.

• Find a comfortable, distraction-free space
• Take a few deep breaths before you begin
• Hold a clear question or intention in mind
• Shuffle the cards until it feels right to stop

Choosing a Spread

A tarot spread is a layout that assigns meaning to each card position. Here are three great spreads to start with:

1. The Single Card Pull

Perfect for daily guidance. Simply draw one card each morning and reflect on its message for the day ahead.

2. The Three-Card Spread

Draw three cards representing Past – Present – Future, or Situation – Action – Outcome. This is one of the most versatile and popular spreads for beginners.

3. The Celtic Cross

A classic 10-card spread that offers a deep dive into a situation. Best for when you want a thorough reading.

Reading the Cards

When a card is revealed, start by noticing your immediate reaction. What feelings or images stand out? Then consider the card's traditional meaning and how it relates to your question or situation.

Trust your intuition, tarot is a conversation between the cards and your inner wisdom. There are no wrong interpretations, only the ones that resonate with you.

Keeping a Tarot Journal

One of the best habits you can build as a tarot reader is journaling your readings. Write down the cards you drew, your initial impressions, and how the reading played out over time. This deepens your relationship with the deck and sharpens your intuition.
