Remember that tarot by itself is not the complete answer to any issue in life. You must also draw on your experience, your friends and family, experts particularly for all serious matters and common-sense. Not even I would change my whole life on one card without serious consideration!
So why True Romance ? Well, I think that true romance is found by being true to oneself and romancing your own life. If you cannot find the romance in your own life, it is impossible for anyone else to discover it for you. Most of these methods sneak in some self-discovery elements and proactive advice; your cards and your life are both equally in your hands alone!
The tarot offers a magical perspective on the world that draws on centuries of insight, symbolism and spiritual wisdom let it work its magic for you!
In this book Ive given spreads and methods that are absolutely unique to my own work youll not find these anywhere else unless theyve been copied! I hope you enjoy them and look forward to hearing about your experiences!

I would also recommend my first book, True Tarot Card Meanings , as a further reference to each card, if you have not already got it!
If you have not already got a tarot deck to hand, lets start by recommending a few for you.
Choosing Your Deck
I love every tarot deck, but the most lovely is the Rider-Waite deck designed by A. E. Waite and drawn by Pamela Colman-Smith. She was called the pixie and brings a mischievous sense of humor to Mr. Waites rather more dry tone! Their deck, which was created and published in 1909, is easily the most recognizable tarot deck and also the best-selling. This is because it is ideal for beginners looking to learn tarot easily.
I have put a card carousel on my site at:
www.mytarotcardmeanings.com
where you can go and look at some of the most popular versions of this deck, and two other decks which are lovely, and based on Waite & Smiths cards; the Hanson-Roberts and the Robin Wood Tarot decks. Whichever you choose, they are all delightful.
I have also recommended the incredible Tarot Illuminati , which has recently been published by Lo Scarabeo. You will see also the Thoth Tarot deck by Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris, which I think should be on every tarot readers list of cards, as a stunning piece of art.
If you are into cats and you fancy exploring the Marseille deck as a beginner, then you should check out the Marseille Cat Tarot (Lo Scarabeo, 2014). This deck comes with a little white book that gives a simple yet delightful guide to get the best out of your deck.
If you have like me been glued to the epic, Vikings drama, and are fascinated by the Norse gods, the Vikings Tarot deck will take you on a transformative journey. I like especially the tarot Major Strength card in that deck.
I was also fascinated by Greek myths as a child, and if you were too, you will just love the Olympus Tarot . So many of these myths actually have a real life connection to us in our everyday lives. How often have you worked so hard to cook or clean, and then find yourself having to do it all over again! A particular Greek myth comes to mind, that of Sisyphus who for all eternity has to roll a weighty boulder up a hill, and is then left frustrated as it rolls back down and he has to repeat the task over and over again. Life does imitate myth, and this can be explored in a series of Kindle booklets called Tarot Temple where you perform temple-dreaming in your sleep for healing work, transformation and even prophecy!
There is such a wide range of tarot out there, with more decks being created every month, so you will be sure to find the decks that work best for you! You can join the free Facebook group at the Tarosophy Tarot Association to keep up to date with all the latest decks and get advice and recommendations at any time.
All the links to these resources can be found at the back of this book.
Now, having chosen our deck, lets look at asking a question of tarot and then start learning how to read the cards for relationships!
Asking the Tarot a Relationship Question
I would first like to show you how I rephrase some questions to ensure that my querent is in the best place to move onwards with their life, rather than get stuck in regrets of the past. In relationship questions, it is really important to ask the right question of the cards so they can provide the most effective answer.
The most common question and yet also the worst is When Will Dwayne Come Back to Me?
This is a very bad question (no matter the situation) because it already means that someone has answered a lot of other questions which should be asked first and their answers are all made up!
