Tarot Cards as Feelings

Tarot isn’t simply about the future and outcomes. Sometimes you want to know how someone feels. Tarot cards as feelings can help you answer questions like:

🌟 "What do they feel about me right now?"

🌟 "Do they miss me?"

🌟 "How do I feel about this connection deep down?"

This is where it can be interesting to interpret tarot cards as feelings.

Each card suggests a particular emotional quality; everything from love to confusion, desire to fear, curiosity and caution. In this blog, we'll break down what certain cards could mean when pulled specifically for feelings.

Let's get into it.

1️⃣ Ace of Cups as Feelings

The Ace of Cups as feelings is one of the most emotionally open cards in the deck. As feelings; the Ace of Cups can be summed up as: Heart overflowing.

It is the start of things emotionally -connection, love, compassion, or even the awakening of romantic feelings.

If a person's feelings come up as the Ace of Cups, they are:

✔ Feeling new or refreshed emotionally

✔ Open to expressing love or affection

✔ Feeling soft, open, and vulnerable in a positive way

✔ Considering becoming emotionally vulnerable and investing energy in you

If you are asking a tarot card yes or no question about emotional availability and you pulled the Ace of Cups, this is as definitive as it gets – yes, open-hearted feelings.

In essence, when you come across the Ace of Cups as feelings, think emotional newness - like a heart that just became ignited.

This could signify a new crush, an apology that opens the heart, or someone recognizing for the first time that they care about you.

It is emotional yes energy.

2️⃣ 3 of Wands as Feelings

The 3 of Wands as feelings is a card of anticipation, waiting, and future vision. When you get it for someone's feelings, they can feel:

✔ Hopeful yet distant

✔ Emotionally "planning" something, but not yet ready to act

✔ Observing and waiting for things to unfold, possibly at a distance

✔ Cautious but curious

If you get the 3 of Wands in a feelings context, it could indicate someone who is emotionally interested but at a distance.

They may be seeing how you react, they may be playing out possibilities of the future but are committed to staying back for the moment.

There is emotion there. It’s just not a current state, it’s forward-looking.

3️⃣ Ace of Wands as Feelings
