How To Do A Twin Flame Tarot Reading For All Of Your Relationship Questions

Here's what twin flame tarot readings are all about, plus an eight-card spread you can try yourself.

And according to licensed psychoanalyst Babita Spinelli, L.P., J.D., these relationships aren't always romantic. "The emphasis on a twin flame relationship is a spiritual connection where you feel a familiarity and polarity with a person. This can take the form of a friend or even an acquaintance," she previously explained to mbg.

As tarot expert and author of Astrology SOS Imani Quinn tells mbg, tarot allows you to get a higher perspective on why this person is showing up in your life, so you can figure out how to navigate your relationship and where it is taking you.

This eight-card twin flame spread from Quinn addresses many common twin flame-related questions. Pull each card one by one and lay them out in order. (You don't have to worry about the shape of the spread; just lay them out in a way that makes sense to you!)

Along with the eight cards you'll pull in the above spread, there are some other questions that may come up during your reading, as well. Should you want to pull additional cards, Quinn recommends these questions:

If you're looking for more insight on how your twin flame feels about you, Quinn suggests pulling three cards to represent what they are thinking (1), feeling (2), and doing (3) when it comes to you. "Knowing where somebody presently is with you is really insightful to know what kind of outcome you're going to get," she adds.

"Twin flames are typically here to teach us a lesson and not necessarily to be a companion," she says, and it's worth asking yourself if you would be OK with a non-romantic relationship with this person.

"Do you have a preconceived notion that you only have one twin flame and that's the person for you? Are you trying to fulfill this love story with them? Or are you kind of open to the idea that they could take different forms in your life?" she suggests asking.

First and foremost, you can choose a tarot deck that speaks to you energetically or calls to you. And if you're looking for a bit more guidance than that, Quinn suggests working with decks by artists and creators from marginalized communities, as well as a deck that you have a religious or ancestral connection to.

That said, you'll want to avoid repeatedly doing the spread if you don't like what the cards are telling you.

On the other hand, doing the reading yourself has its upsides, too. "You know yourself and the energy the best," Quinn says, adding, "When we can distinguish our intuition from our ego that is actually our best place of knowledge."

Twin flame relationships bring up a lot of emotions and experiences on one's spiritual path, and this can lead to a lot of questions. Twin flame tarot readings offer answers to those questions, so you can gain insight, acknowledge any challenges, and ideally, make any necessary changes within the connection.
