Summary

Take control of your romantic destiny. Waiting for Prince Charming may not be an effective strategy for finding love, just as ignoring relationship problems isn''t always the best solution. Instead of letting chance rule romance, Mark McElroy suggests using the Tarot to improve your love life. No knowledge of the Tarot or belief in the supernatural is necessary. Anyone can use Taking the Tarot to Heart to take charge of their romantic destiny. For both singles and couples, this book provides Tarot spreads and exercises to answer questions like " How can I find my soulmate?" and " How can I spice up my love life?" Emphasizing the practical, not the mystical, McElroy demonstrates how easy it is to find creative solutions to relationship issues without bleeding the mystery and meaning out of romance.
