Someone asked me on Twitter the other day what the main Tarot cards for reconciliation were. When doing a reading to see if reconciliation with an ex will be possible, these top 10 Tarot cards for reconciliation indicate a positive outcome:
2 of Cups
The 2 of Cups, is always a good sign of reconciliation, especially together with The Lovers, The Sun or The World (very ‘happily ever after’). This is the ultimate reciprocity card.
3 of Cups
The 3 of Cups means ‘happy days’ again – especially together with the 2 of Cups. However, watch out for more 3’s in the same spread, as this could indicate that he will be back but you will not be his only love interest. Although not a commitment card in its own right, together with The Hierophant, it can indicate marriage.
6 of Cups
The 6 of Cups can indicate the return of a soul mate lover, especially together with the Ace of Cups (in which case it will either be first time you meet in this incarnation or you get a chance to have a fresh new start), 2 of Cups, the 4 of Wands, The Sun and The World.
10 of Cups
The 10 of Cups as the outcome is a sure sign that you will settle down and bring up a family together, especially together with the 4 of Wands and the 10 of Pentacles. This is a case of your lover returning because he realises he really wants a future with you.
4 of Wands
The 4 of Wands is the ‘moving in together card’ and therefore it is likely that your reconciliation leads to settling down together, or one of you moving back to be with the other person. This is especially true with any of the Cups cards above.
The Hierophant
The Hierophant is a card of commitment so if you’ve been dating a commitment-phobic and this card shows up in the future, surrounded by other cards indicating reciprocal love and partnership, you will win his heart for good in the end.
The Lovers
The Lovers can indicate that he chooses to come back. Look for the Hierophant in the same reading to indicate that he also chooses to finally commit. The Lovers together with two or more 3’s indicates a continuation of a love triangle.
Justice
Justice together with Temperance and the 2 of Cups can indicate that a marriage heading toward divorce can be restored. If Justice is in the future position, together with The Hierophant and/or the 3 of Cups, wedding bells are likely to chime even though it may seem it would take a miracle (they do happen, you know!).
Temperance
Temperance can indicate a lover returning after healing emotional wounds. If the 3 of Swords is present in the past and Temperance is found in the present of the future, all the bad news brought by the 3 of Swords will be erased.
The Sun
The Sun in the future position shows a return of good times in general and can be a strong indication of reconciliation if found together with the 2 of Cups or even the 2 of Wands. A relationship signified by the 2 of Wands shows two headstrong lovers who may have been driven apart by pride and willfulness. When the Sun shows up, it could indicate that they have learned to compromise. Granted, this will never be an easy relationship but neither will it be dull or boring.
Bonus Card
Bonus card: The 9 of Cups indicates that your wish (any wish) will come true. However, if this card shows up in a position signifying your hopes, it does not indicate that your wish will come true – only that you wish for something to happen with all your heart. Be careful to weigh the 9 of Cups as the outcome against the original question. If your question was will he come back, the 9 of Cups is a ‘yes’ but it doesn’t give you much detail about under what circumstances or for how long.
Please be aware that these are not the only indicators of reconciliation but they are the ‘usual suspects’ based on my own experience.
