Let’s be honest, you can always ask your tarot deck a question and get an answer by just picking a card. So why bother with laying out a spread instead?
Because the right tarot spread will give you the full picture of a relationship/person. The good and the bad. The hidden, the potential, past, future and present of your connection will all be laid out in front of you.
When you are doing a tarot spread, it is very important to ask your questions as precisely as you can.
For example, if you are asking for the future of your love life, mention the time period you want to know: 3 months from now, a year from now, in the next 6 months, etc.
Relationships are multidimensional, therefore picking one tarot card is often not enough. Whether you want to make an important decision in your existing relationship, or you just met someone and you want to know their feelings and your possible future with them, in order to understand your connection better through tarot, I recommend using a tarot spread best suited to your situation.
