Summary

Includes Fourty Original Spreads That Will Answer All Your Relationship Questions Everyone, from teens to seniors, whether gay or straight, black or white, is looking for guidance when it comes to affairs of the heart. Much of the time, it seems that we grope in the dark for answers to the problems caused by the presence or absence of love, sex, and intimacy in our lives. What if there was a tool that could provide some of those answers? The tarot is that kind of tool. It is an intuitive device that can be used for insight into virtually every aspect of life, especially one's love life. Written in plain English, Romancing the Tarot demystifies the tarot and offers answers to every conceivable relationship question, including: Will he call me? Where will my current relationship be in a year? Is my partner cheating on me? How can I let go of a bad love in order to find a new one? When will I find The One?
