16 Best Tarot Cards For love readings

If you’re wondering which tarot cards give the best signals for love and relationships, you’ve come to the right place. Here is my list of the best tarot cards to get in a love tarot reading. 

The best feeling in the world is being in love. Therefore, it doesn’t surprise that questions about love and relationships are the most asked from the tarot. 

Tarot cards included in the suit of Cups, which represents emotional and relationship matters, are cards that you would prefer to see in a tarot spread in love tarot readings. However, no particular tarot card could be considered the best for love, but there are many runner ups.

Now I will have to admit that I am a romantic myself, so I love going through cards that radiate love vibes my way. Gathering this list was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Please let me know what you think when you get to the end. 

The Best Tarot Cards for love in a tarot reading

The Lovers

This is a card everyone expects to see in a love reading. The name already tells that it is a good omen for love. It represents choices, relationships, love, and attraction. And it is not just about loving others, this card is a great reminder to highlight the importance of self-love. 

If you happen to be in a relationship, this card represents unconditional love and deep respect. It is an indication that you have found your soulmate. The chemistry you have in your relationships is so evident that it won’t go unnoticed by others.  

Then again, if you are single, it is highly likely that a passionate relationship is headed your way. If you are single and have your eye on someone, this is a good time to measure if the other side resonates. Whatever the response is, remember that you got the question over with, and now you know. You can love yourself for that. And if you love yourself, you will be able to build a solid foundation for any future relationship. 

The Empress

The Empress is an excellent card for love and relationships. She represents not only romantic love but the love of all kinds. No matter if you are male or females, she calls you to connect with your feminine energy, nurture, and create beauty in your life. Just like the Lovers tarot card, the Empress loves everyone around her — including herself. 

If you are single, expect to have love and romance coming your way soon. Remember to love yourself as you are, and that will attract others to love you too. 

If you are already in a relationship, expect your relationship to deepen to a more loving and affectionate stage. The Empress is also an indicator of great times in the bedroom and might signal pregnancy. So if you are looking forward to parenthood, this is an excellent card to have in your spread.

The Emperor

Just like his counterpart, the Emperor is an excellent omen for love and relationships. He is the archetype of fatherly love. Feelings and expressions of love don’t come naturally for the Emperor, so the love that he represents can come in other forms, like making you feel secure and cared for. 

If you are single, the Emperor might be an indicator of the target of your love. It is signaling to a slightly older and more experienced person who makes you feel safe and secure.

As the Emperor is not the best at showing emotion, it could also signal that you are not sharing your feelings with the person that you are interested in. When the Emperor shows up in the next tarot reading, ask yourself if you are keeping too much of your emotions to yourself? 

For the ones that are in a relationship, the Emperor signals security and enduring love. Just make sure that no side of the relationship starts to dominate the other. 

The Hierophant

If you are looking to get a proposal from your loved one, The Hierophant is the best card of the major arcana to have in your reading. It signifies commitment and marriage. If you are not already engaged, expect to be asked, or maybe it is for you to ask the big question. 

If it sounds that it is too early to talk about marriage, the hierophant could be telling that an existing relationship is headed to the next level.

For single seekers, there are romantic relationships on the horizon. And the hierophant signals that the one on the horizon will be a relationship that has the potential to become a steady and secure partnership. 

The Devil

The Devil is not a card for romantic relationships, but if you are looking for a boost in sexual energy, this is a great card to get. With this card on the table, it is time to enjoy the physical pleasures of life. This might be a good time to talk about your fantasies with your partner and try new things in the bedroom.  

Supposing you are single, this card signals that a new partner might be headed your way, and you will most likely have good sexual chemistry. Just be aware that even though you are a match in the bedroom, the other areas might not get that serious. If you have your feelings at stake, you should take it on with caution. 

For those in a relationship, the Devil might sign that you are a bit too addicted to one another. It could be wise to give some space for one another and make sure you keep your other meaningful relationships in good health. The Devil might also indicate that there are jealousy issues in a relationship. 

The Sun

The Sun is a card of positivity, great joy, and optimism. These things naturally reflect on all areas of life and indicate good things in love and relationships. 

If you happen to be in a relationship the joyfulness can come in the form of celebration. Maybe an engagement or a wedding is headed your way. It can signify birth, so you might be welcoming a new human being into this world. 

If none of the above resonates, the Sun can simply indicate that you are entering a wonderful period in your relationship. Cherish and enjoy it together with your partner. 

For those that are single, this card indicates a period in life where you enjoy the freedom that singlehood brings. At the moment, you don’t grave for love and are happy being on your own. Of course, you shouldn’t mind the attention and excitement that possible suitors bring, so remember to enjoy them. And if someone wonderful and perfect happens to walk into your life, don’t turn them away. 

Ace of Cups

This card represents new beginnings, new romances, love, joy, and happiness. As you can already see, this is one of the best cards to get. As this is a minor arcana card, you shouldn’t have to wait too long for things to start happening. 

When you see Ace of Cups, and you are single, it is time to meet new people. All the signs point to a new and exciting event in your love life. 

If you are in a relationship, it represents a fresh start. Maybe there has been something that has been giving friction between you too. But now it is time to put that in the past and move forward. It can even signify an engagement or marriage. Ace of Cups also represents fertility, so it is an excellent omen for couples looking to become parents.  

Two of Cups

This card represents partnerships, unity, balance, and love. The card imagery presents a young couple displaying their love to one another by exchanging their cups. This loving image promises a healthy and balanced relationship for those who get this card in their tarot spread. 

For those that are single, the times are looking good for a promising long term relationship. It is a relationship where you share mutual respect and feelings for each other. It has all the signs of a relationship that can turn into something significant.

Six of Cups

This card is a joyful card. The lovely image of two children on the card imagery represents harmony, love, and co-operation. Having this card on your tarot spread signifies that you are entering a stage of unity and respect in your relationship. You are moving on from past difficulties and giving each other a real chance for something significant.  

The children on the card can also indicate pregnancy, so this is an excellent card for becoming parents.

Here comes the knight in his shining armor. This card is for all the romantics out there. Whether you are single or in a relationship, this card won’t leave you cold. You are about to be swept off your feet and taken into a romantic endeavor that you haven’t experienced before.  

If you are in a relationship and have been waiting for your partner to pop the question, this card will be one of the best tarot cards to get in your spread. Knights are all about action. They are on a mission, so expect a romantic proposal or other significant events that tie you too tighter together. 

King Of Cups

This card represents emotional stability and control. It is a loving card and is a good omen for those seeking a husband. King of Cups is a fatherly figure that can give advice about feelings and emotions.

If you are in a relationship, the card represents that your relationship is healthy and mature. There is the right amount of emotion and logic between you too. Your days of emotional roller coaster rides are far behind, and you are ready to move on to the next stage. 

If you are single, the King of Cups might indicate the qualities of your next partner. They seem to have all in place for a potential long term partner. He or she can be charming and romantic but also devoted and loyal. This is the kind of person you want in the long run. 

Ten of Pentacles

Although this card is about wealth and financial security, this card is also about love. It signals the importance of family and sharing your success with your loved ones. 

If you are in a relationship, the ten of pentacles tells that you are in it for the long run. The union has a strong foundation, and together you will have financial security. You both share the same strong family values and marriage is essential. If you haven’t yet gotten engaged or married, these events might be on the horizon.

Four of Wands could indicate engagement, marriage, childbirth, or other happy family reunions for those in a relationship. 

For those that are single, this card indicates that you are about to take part in a party where you will have a chance to meet new people. This card also represents reunions, so it might indicate getting back together with someone special from your past.
