4 Tens – Responsibilities are weighing heavily on you or your partner
3 Tens – Difficult times are coming to an end
4 Nines – Extreme isolation
3 Nines – An important relationship lesson is being successfully integrated
4 Eights – Powerful and rapid changes, usually positive
3 Eights – You and your beloved are going on a trip
4 Sevens – A deeply spiritual relationship
3 Sevens – Good luck
4 Sixes – A soulmate relationship that goes back many incarnations
3 Sixes – Great pleasure
4 Fives – Diversity and flexibility, an ability to go with the flow
3 Fives – Internal and external conflicts, bad luck
4 Fours – Lasting stability, possibly after a house move or moving in together
3 Fours – A house move
4 Threes – A relationship centred around creative projects and raising children
3 Threes – Cheating, excessive flirting, lack of commitment
4 Twos – Life-long commitment
3 Twos – A wedding
4 Aces – A complete first, a new type of lover or relationship, starting over
3 Aces – Extreme luck, pregnancy

Pairings:

Two Tens – Ending of a relationship or phase in the relationship
Two Nines – One of you needs to spend time alone
Two Eights – You will receive news that affects the relationship

  1. What about multiple court cards? like pairings of Kings, Queens, Knights, Pages. Or even triples and quads of those? Anywhere to find those?

      Hi Gina, I usually read court cards as people in Love Tarot readings, so multiples of them typically indicate influence/interference by other people rather than a number vibration being amplified. Lisa

  2. I was wondering about pairings and multiples in the court cards and Major Arcana. Any thoughts on these? I recently had three pages in a reading…and several Major Arcana…

      Several Majors is an indication of Major Life Lessons and that you may not be able to exert much control over how events unfold. With all the pages present, what you (or the Seeker) must do is pay attention and become a student of these lessons. Make zero assumptions. Take on a beginner’s mind. Watch, learn… keep a journal… The missing Page could then be a clue about what Element the Seeker has already mastered to a certain degree – a strength to use perhaps.

      1. Thank you so much! I had four kings in a reading the other day! Never saw that before…

  3. Does it mean anything if you get cards that have consecutive numbers example.. 456

    1. Hi Amanda, Yes – it indicates a progression of that suit’s energy and the attached lesson. Learning could be accelerated or there is a strong ‘lesson theme’ present.

  4. I didn’t know this and I do Tarot! I’m going to share this on my blog 🙂 …and can’t wait to actually see and use this in Tarot…
