Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest times of the year. Plenty of inquiries on the topic of love. Pooja Verma, Tarot Card Reader & Numerologist says,
"While Tarot is not always forthcoming about answers in terms of definite language, the zodiac hints quietly at various tendencies. While the zodiac does not portend destiny, it can warn of possible red flags in a relationship if we’re not closely watching." Thus, a better Valentine’s Day experience might be brought about ot only by bringing the lovers card along but also by really listening to what the cards are really saying. Fire Signs: Aries, Leo & Sagittarius As to the characteristics of fire signs in tarot readings that contain other sign types, like the Knight of Wands in fire signs, it’s been said that fire sign individuals tend to be exciting and passion-filled. While Aries certainly offers this speedy energy type, there is also a red flag when someone gets impatient: they might mistake this for passion when in reality they are avoiding intimacy. The energy of Leo frequently comes through in a reading as a Sun card, warm and magnetic. But if ego trumps respect, then a sense of love becomes performance-based. When validation is key in a relationship, that's a bad omen. With Sagittarius, glyphed as freedom and exploration in a zodiac wheel, this comes up as a restless emotional state in a reading. Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn Earth signs are often indicated with Pentacle cards, and there are aspects of stability, security, and long life. Taurus values loyalty and comfort, but again, a red flag occurs with love and possessiveness. Security and loyalty are fine, but controlling behavior is not. Virgo often comes in with the Hermit or Page of Pentacles—analytical and detailed. That wish to "fix" stuff is great at first, but in relationships, it becomes endless critique. Capricorn's ambition finds a home in the Emperor card—strong, protective, yet emotionally unavailable. And when work and status continue to come before emotional presence, then love becomes a matter of balance. Air Signs: Gemini, Libra & Aquarius Readings with the Swords suit are dominated by air signs: thoughts, communication, and clarity. The energy of Gemini is mentally incisive and inquisitive, though a warning bell is usually sounded by inconsistency. And if their feelings fluctuate faster than their words, chaos follows. Libra wants balance and romance, and its card of appearance is often Justice. Still, because of this oxymoronic fear of conflict, they avoid the issue emotionally. When the values lie more in harmony than in honesty, the unresolved conflict becomes burdened silence. Commonly, the Aquarius formation has the Star-energy visionary/individual/unattached. Red flag: independence becomes unavailability. Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces Cups suit and water signs: Cups suit associates with emotions and feelings. Cancer adds caring and loving feelings, but in this case, emotional dependency may emerge. The happiness of Cancer may totally depend on the relationship. Scorpio is often paired with the Death or the Devil card—intense change and passion, or domination and fear caused by the threat of betrayal. However, the red flag for Pisces is passion, not domination, due to fear and concern about being betrayed. Pisces, noted for their spiritual and imaginative energies, match the energies associated with the Moon card. They have romantic qualities but often shun reality, making them unpredictable and moody individuals. Every Valentine's Day reading reminds me of one truth: it's not the zodiac signs alone that flash red flags, but unhealed patterns. There is nothing in the Tarot about reading about your future lovers. What it is about is seeing the energies in your life. So it doesn't matter how incompatible you may be according to the zodiac signs. If the other person doesn't take accountability for how they want to interact
