We all know what Cupid’s arrows can be like… a bit hit-and-miss! What do you do when the object of your affection hardly seems to notice you? As the saying goes: “All is fair in love and war” Mind you, I’m not suggesting you go and pinch someone else’s sweetheart but maybe you need to yank that bow and arrow out of Cupid’s tiny chubby hands and become your own Cupid just this once. The good news is that the Tarot can help uncover just what you need to do to steal his heart with Cupid’s Arrow Tarot Spread!
Steal His Heart with Cupid’s Arrow Tarot Spread
1. Is he or she shy?
The reason I have this question for card one is that many people who come to me for a reading about a love interest want to know if maybe they are holding back because they are shy, so let’s see if we can rule this excuse while we pull the arrow back.
In the Minor Arcana, cards that suggest shyness might be the Page of Cups, the 8 and 9 of Swords, and the 4 of Cups, while the Fire / Wands cards in general speak against the person being shy.
In the Major Arcana, three possibly shy cards would be the High Priestess, The Hermit, The Hanged Man and The Moon. Use your imagination and tune into the energy of any other card you pull – trust your gut!
2. What is the main reason for him or her being elusive?
If another court card shows up here, you can bet your bottom dollar that they have their sights set on someone else. However, that does not necessarily mean you need to pull out of the competition.
3. What main strength do you need to draw on to get his or her attention?
This card will reveal an innate gift or talent you have that will appeal to your love interest.
4. What action do you need to take?
A Page, the 2 of Pentacles or the 8 of Wands here would be an indication that sending him or her a message would be a good idea.
Holding off on doing anything would be indicated by the 4 of Swords, the Hanged Man and the 8 of Swords.
The need for more information before proceeding to take action would be indicated by, for instance, the 7 of Swords and The Moon.
5. His or her feelings for you now
To know if yours are reciprocated, you would ideally want the 2 of Cups or The Lovers.
6. How the wind blows
This card may symbolise interference from the outside. Alternatively, it represents something else you need to be aware of that may affect the aim of your arrow.
7. Where the arrow lands if you aim carefully and fire it with precision
This is the most likely long-term outcome.
Blessed be!

Hi Lisa,
About a coworker I dated for a bit:
Shy = Hanged man (Maybe, seems confident with others but not as much as I think)
Why elusive = 7 wands (defences up, boundaries)
Strength to get his attention = 10 cups (positive attitude)
Action I need to take = 3 pentacles?
He feels = Wheel of fortune (undecided, changeable)
Wind blows = 7 pentacles?
Outcome = Lovers (a good sign overall?)
Am I on the right track? I’m stuck on the pentacles as action and influence?
Thank you.
This will take a lot of work/effort (3 of Pentacles) and you will need to be patient (7 of Pentacles). He won’t act any time soon – especially not with The Hanged Man as the first card.
Hi,
I just did this spread and am not sure if I get everything right… The guy is just a potential love interest and I can’t figure him out, if he has someone, if he really likes me and what goes on in his head. So I got:
1. 2 of cups – he has a new love affair, maybe with an ex?
2. 7 of wands – he doesn’t want a relationship. Probably because of 2 of cups?
3. Page of cups – being shy, at the same time freely talking with guys, being open? I am that kind of person.
4. 8 of cups clarified by 3 of cups – I should act friendly, without showing my affection, without pushing the limits of friendship?
5. Queen of swords – I guess it is not good…. he doesn’t feel for me, he sees me as ex love interest (probably because of 2 of cups in 1st position), or someone hard to deal with? I don’t get what this card means here…
6. 2 of swords –
7. Queen of cups clarified by ace of swords – in future he will have feelings for me again, some kind of emotional bond which will mean a better communication as well?
Am I getting at least something right? I would be really glad for some insights here…
Hi Lisa,
Just wondering if you think I’m on track here. For whether he is shy I got the 6 of Cups, which I interpreted as a ‘No’, because we share a lot of memories and have a positive past. For why he’s elusive, I got 7 Pentacles, which I saw as he’s currently reassessing his feelings and contemplating whether commitment is worth it. The strength I need to draw upon was The Fool, which I saw to be I must be carefree, innocent, and follow my desires blindly by taking a leap of faith.
The action needed was Strength, which I saw as perseverance despite hardships or impatience, a control of impulses, enduring and being kind and gentle. His feelings were the Two of Cups which I saw to be that our feelings are mutual and there is a connection here. How the wind blows was Knight of Cups, where there may be a romantic gesture upcoming, or an invitation, or even commitment/a move towards that.
Finally, the arrow was going to land on the High Priestess, which really confused me, as I usually see it as withdrawing to find oneself spiritually, and being in tune with oneself. Due to the rest of the cards being so positive, I’d have thought it would be more a deep connection between two people forming, where they have a deeper understanding of each other and a special bond develops, but wasn’t sure if it was wishful thinking as I’m reading for myself. What do you think?
Thanks!
Hi Shar, I believe this reading is showing you to keep cherishing those positive memories and not hope for anything manifest on the physical plane in the Future. The High Priestes corresponds with The Moon (the past) and ties in nicely with the sentimental 6 of Cups as the first card. It is likely you are soul mates and will have a chance to cherish each other in another incarnation. Blessings, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your response. Why do you think the reading has turned out so passively though there are such positive cards pertaining to a relationship? Do you think there is any chance it could materialise in this life? It just seems such a shame, especially as I like him so much.
The first card (6 of Cups) places this in the past and the HP at the end confirms it. But feel free to give it a go anyway. You never know… the cards could be wrong or my interpretation could be off… Let us know what happens! 🙂
Hi Lisa ,
1) Knight of Pen 2) Temperance 3) 7 of wands 4) 4 of Wands 5) The World 6) 8 of swords 7) 3 of Pents asked for clarification and the devil fell out ….
Thinking he is a shy guy taking things slow the outcome 3 of pents and devil make me think of threesome and to let him go? He is a cap and hard worker which seems to take over his life… I also thought of building something together but the devil has me confused. Am I on the right path?
When you pull a clarifier you need to know which aspect of the other card you are clarifying… There is nothing among the previous cards speaking of cheating or a third party being in the mix. The Devil falling out could be your own suspicion or further confirmation of how hard he is currently working (to the point of being obsessed). The action advice in the form of the 4 of Wands speaks loudly for giving this relationship a go.
Interesting … he has been completely silent and I just don’t understand his motive. when men act like this it usually makes me feel another woman (especially if i reach out and get no response) , BUT your perspective really shines a light on my view of things. Question 3 I received 7 of wands : Standing up for my own beliefs or ones convictions to get his attention is what came to mind. Question 8 how the wind blows 8 of swords feels like what I’m going thru now with being stuck and not being able to to move forward with his cold behavior. That 4 of wands is funny by the look of things LOL 🙂
Am I back on the right path here Lisa?
Am I back on the right path here Lisa?
The 8 of Swords is about your own mind, not about what is going on on the outside.
Hi Lisa,
I did this spread for a woman, my cards where: 10 of pentacles, six of swords, the fool, nine of swords, queen of swords, ace of pentacles and the king of pentacles as outcome. We’re both currently in heterosexual relationships, but we have been flirting a lot. She is very successful in her career, but i am not as much as she is. I don’t have the confidence to pursue her. I think that the cards tell me to be less afraid and anxious about it and if i do so, it could develop in a steady and honest relationship. Should i give it a try? Could the king of pentacles be her?Thanks
Hi Vicky, since you are both in committed relationships, my reader’s ethics prevent me from commenting on this. Blessings, Lisa
What does it mean when you get the other person’s court card as the 7th position (where the arrow lands). Is the tarot being literal?
It would appear so.
Hi there, the spread I got was
1. The Lovers
2. 9 of Cups
3. Temperance (also my shadow card – interesting!)
4. King of Pentacles
5. Ace of Wands
6. 10 of Pentacles
7. The Moon.
I’m not sure if 1 means he’s attracted to me but is uncertain/ made a choice not to act on it, and 2 means he’s actually v happy with his life at the moment? 10 of P is interesting as I met him on a family constellations workshop – could be to do with clearing family / ancestral issues or establishing a firm foundation for myself. Would love to hear any comments!
Is he single?
I don’t actually know. Will try and find out. Sorry for late reply!
I’m pretty conflicted about this one. I want it to happily ever after but I’m not sure I trust mu intuition because it’s notoriously difficult to read for yourself. I’m using the Shadowscapes deck.
1. Three of Wands 2. Ace of Cups 3. The Chariot 4. Knight of Cups 5. The Moon 6. Ten of Swords 7. Ten of Cups
I read this as “No, he’s not shy but he’s been burned (true in this case) and is afraid to admit he has feelings (Ace of Cups). Love yourself first (Chariot) and follow your heart, but control your emotions or you’ll scare him away (Knight of Cups). He’s dreaming of you but fearful (The Moon) because he’s been betrayed in the past (Ten of Swords). It may take some work but in the end, all will be well between you (Ten of Cups).”
So what do you think, could it be happily ever after? Or is it wishful thinking?
No, that’s a fair interpretation rather than wishful thinking.
Hey Lisa hope you doing good
1. Knight of swords
2.star
3.queen of cups
4.3 of coins
5.2 of pentacles
6.8 of cups
7. Ace of cups….
Looking like a new relationship…
I’m just bit confused about three of coins..
Sorry for the late reply, Gur. How do you normally interpret the 3 of Coins? I’d see it as connecting hands on over a common interest… working/volunteering together here.
I am terrible at his but gave it a try. Had to use an online tarot because I am at the office and don’t have cards (not sure that works though). I got:
1. 7 of swords
2. Queen of swords
3. 8 of swords
4. 10 of pentacles
5. 5 of pentacles
6. 10 of swords
7. Justice
My intuition after reading this is that he is distant because he may have issues around him? Work, money, family, health?
Is my intuition correct? I contacted Lisa for a reading but if anyone wants to chime in, feel free!
Thanks.
Sorry it took me so long to approve this comment, Ana – not sure what happened there… I suspect deceit with the 7 of Swords as the first card. Would be interested to hear how this turned out.
Wow. I got cards that appear to say, “Nope, no, sorry but no.” 1. 9 of Wands 2. 10 of Swords 3. 4 of Cups 4. 8 of Cups 5. 8 of Swords 6. 5 of Swords 7. King of Swords – This all seems to say, “Don’t do anything! Leave it! Walk away!” Yes?
Don’t second-guess your intuition!
