The Moon rules your emotions, intuition and psychic ability. When looking for emotional compatibility in an Astrological synastry chart, the Moon Sign is one of the main factors considered. Therefore it stands to reason that you will be better equipped to do relationship Tarot readings for yourself if you know your own and your partner/love interest’s Moon Sign as well as which Tarot cards these correspond too.
Before delving into the emotional needs of the 12 Zodiac Signs, it is a good idea to look at the core needs as dictated by the ruling Element for each sign.
FIRE (Wands/Judgement or Aeon) – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
Core needs: adventure, individuality, self-expression, risk-taking, spontaneity
Dislikes: routine, responsibility
Turn on: confidence
WATER (Cups/The Hanged Man) – Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
Core needs: empathy, romance, creativity, sensitivity, feeling an unspoken bond
Dislikes: criticism, aggression (tend toward passive aggression)
Turn on: Old-school romanticism
AIR (Swords/The Magician) – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Core needs: intellectual compatibility, great conversation, friendship, constantly learning new things
Dislikes: clinginess, sulking, jealousy
Turn on: Quick wit
EARTH (Pentacles/The World or Universe) – Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Core needs: stability, routine, financial security, reliability, planning ahead
Dislikes: carelessness, risk-taking
Turn on: Reliability (writing/phoning back, showing up on time etc)

In general Water Moon Signs are most compatible with Earth Moon Signs and Fire Moon Signs with Air Moon Signs but many other factors need to be considered for the full picture and it is good to never write anyone off because they appear to be the wrong sign.
The benefit of having a visual of each Zodiac sign in the Tarot is that you can more easily get a feel for how they interact and surrounding cards can provide further clues about lessons and challenges concerning emotional compatibility.
Blessed Be!
