This simple Desire-Action-Outcome relationship Tarot spread is one you can use to check on the state of your relationship and where it is heading if things are left unchecked.
“A great relationship is about two things. First, appreciating the similarities, and second, respecting the differences.“
~Unknown
Once you have established the cause-and-effect pattern of your current relationship dynamic, you can pull an additional advice card for how to move forward. This can be done using either another tarot card from the deck you did the reading with or by pulling an oracle card.
Positional Meanings for the Desire-Action-Outcome Tarot Spread
1. Your desire – The one most impacting on the relationship at this point in time
2. Their desire – What they need most right now
3. How you act on your desire – How this desire finds a natural expression (the cards in positions 4 and 5 reveal how healthy/helpful this expression is)
4. How they act on their desire
5. Outcome/synergy – the composite effect of your actions and how it shapes your chances for relationship happiness
Optional: Pull an additional advice card if you do this reading for yourself. Pull one advice card each if you are doing it together with your beloved.
Have fun and remember to keep things light if you do this relationship exercise!
Tips for a Loving and Heart-centred Reading Atmosphere
Light a few candles, and some rose or jasmine incense, and place a piece of rose quartz on the table before you begin the reading. And, most importantly, set the intention to open up to ever deeper levels of love and intimacy!
A great relationship doesn’t happen because of the love you had in the beginning, but how well you continue nurturing love until the end.

If you found Angelorum while looking up an occult topic, you might be wondering why I’m writing about Jesus now.
When I started praying the Rosary every day in September 2026, something in me began to wake up. Little by little, I found my way back to Jesus, and that changed the direction of this site. These days, I write about prayer, Christian mysticism and what I’m learning as I follow Him.
If you’ve spent years looking for God and still have questions, you’re welcome here.
