Working with tarot cards can feel a little overwhelming at first, as you try to understand how to interpret them and which spreads to do to get the answers you want.
In this post, I’ll show you how to do a few 4 card spreads which can be used to understand your immediate situation or even delve further into your love life.
Simple 4 Card Tarot Spread For Love
When it comes to matters of the heart, there is nothing better than this simple 4 card tarot spread.
It can be used by beginners and experts alike to get insights into the current state of their romantic relationships or an answer to a specific question related to love.
To begin the 4 card love spread, you should start by shuffling your tarot deck and focusing on your question or relationship.
Then, draw four cards from the deck and lay them out in a horizontal line. Next, pick each card up, from left to right, and ponder its meaning.
The first card will represent the current state of your love life or your relationship. It will give you a broader understanding of the challenges you may be facing, as well as any strengths or resources you have to work with.
In a sense, it will give you a bird’s eye view of what your love life looks like at this moment.
The second card will represent the root cause behind your current situation. If you are faced with a specific problem in your relationship or love life, this card will tell you why you are facing it in the first place.
For example, if you have been fighting a lot with your spouse, this card might reveal that that’s because of stress and burnout.
The third card will represent the past experiences that have shaped your love life or even your attitude towards relationships or love. As such, this card can help you become aware of any negative influences your past might be having on your current relationship.
It might also reveal patterns or themes that have carried over from your past.
The fourth card will represent the potential future of your love life. If you have ever wondered where your current relationship is headed or when/how you might meet the right partner, this card might give you your answers.
Remember, that these cards give advice on the current path laid ahead of you. But, you have the power to make choices and change the course of your relationship should you wish.
This is a powerful tarot 4 card spread that can be used by anyone – regardless of experience – because of its simplicity and effectiveness. Using this spread, you can gain insight into your current financial situation and potential outcomes.
As with the spread above, you need to shuffle your tarot cards before you begin. While doing this, focus on your finances and any specific questions you might have.
Then, draw four cards and place them next to each other. Then, take each card and ponder its meaning.
The first card will represent the foundation of your financial life. This could include things like your attitude towards money, financial goals, beliefs, spending patterns, skills, career, etc.
Basically, this card will tell you why things are the way they are as far as your finances are concerned.
The second card will tell you about the opportunities that are available to you right now and the potential areas of growth you can capitalise upon. This might include new sources of income, lucrative investments, growth in career, and so on.
This tarot card can open your eyes to all the ways you can further improve your financial standing.
The third card will give you insights into the challenges you currently face or may face in the future with regard to money. This might relate to sudden expenditure, job loss, the poor performance of investments, or lack of areas of growth, for example.
As such, this card can help you prepare yourself for the challenges that lie ahead and deal with them to the best of your ability.
The fourth card will represent the potential outcome of your current financial trajectory. This card takes everything into account and gives you a sort of overview of what you can expect.
This can help you make better decisions in the present and change your trajectory if you don’t like what you see.

I started Spirit of Sapphire in August 2017 after finally building up the courage to start reading tarot for people other than my loved ones.
At the same time, I embarked upon expanding my spiritual knowledge and skills and so attended various psychic mediumship courses and circles, and I also began to train as a Reiki practitioner.
I’ve designed this site to be a hub of spiritual knowledge. As I learn new things, I want to share them with you.
