How does he feel about me?
Hold him in mind and draw one card. This one is not a yes or no: every tarot card describes a feeling, so yours is read as what he has going on when he thinks of you. Upright, the feeling is out in the open. Reversed, it is blocked, held back or something he is not yet admitting. The same question on the same day draws the same card.
How tarot reads feelings
A card read as feelings tells you about tone: warm or guarded, excited or tired, sure or torn. The suit gives the first clue. Cups are emotion and closeness. Wands are attraction and drive. Swords are thoughts, worries and things unsaid. Pentacles are steadiness and how someone shows up in practice. Major Arcana cards tend to mean that what he feels is big, or that he does not yet know what to do about it.
The cards people look for here
- Page of Cups: tender, a little shy, and more interested than he lets on.
- Knight of Wands: drawn to you and excited, and possibly faster to start than to stay.
- Four of Pentacles: guarded and careful: he holds on tightly and shows little.
- Two of Swords: torn and avoiding the decision: he may feel more than he is letting himself look at.
- Four of Cups: distracted or a bit bored, and possibly missing what is in front of him.
- The Star: hopeful and calm around you: you may feel like a good thing in his life.
Reading his side honestly
A reading about someone else's feelings is really a reading about your picture of them, and that can be useful in its own right. As you read your card, ask whether it matches what you have seen him do. If it does, you have some confirmation. If it does not, you have something to ask him about. The most reliable way to learn how someone feels is still to ask, ideally with a real question rather than a hint.
When a card surprises you
If you hoped for warmth and drew something cool, notice that before explaining it away. If you expected nothing and drew the Two of Cups, notice that too. People tend to know more about these situations than they admit, and a card you did not expect is often useful because it makes you say what you hoped it would be. That is usually the thing worth telling him.
What to do next
Once you have a read, the next step is small: say or ask one true thing. Tell him you enjoyed the evening. Ask where he thinks this is going. If you have gone over your card more than a few times, that is usually a sign the talk is overdue. Whatever he says, you are then working with what he actually feels and no longer with a guess.
How does he feel about me? Questions people ask
How do I know how he feels about me?
Watch what he does, and ask him. Tarot can help you put words on what you sense, which often makes the conversation easier to start.
Can tarot read someone else's feelings?
Readers treat the card as a reflection of the situation between you, as seen through your question. Many find it says as much about what you sense as about him.
What does a reversed card mean for his feelings?
It usually means the feeling is there and is not coming out cleanly: held back, confused or not yet admitted to himself.
Does this work if we have stopped talking?
Yes. Many people ask it after contact has ended. Read the card as how things stand between you now, and let that guide what you want to do next.
