Who are you this Valentine’s Day? Who are you when in love?

By Susan Gold

Is there a card that generally reflects who you are when you are in love—or who you have been—or who you would like to be? You might also go through a favorite deck or two and see what you come up with.

    Happy belated Valentine’s Day! Well, I haven’t been in love in a really long time… but I find myself really drawn to the Prince of Cups image you have shown from the Transformational Tarot. Looks very old fashioned, dreamy and romantic. I’ll take that one! :) :)

    Thanks for stopping by, Tarot Dame! I like that Prince of Cups, too. Neat interpretation, huh?

    I enjoyed your Valentine’s Day entry on your blog. I love reading about your kids, who sound amazing, and I’m so moved when you discuss your parenting philosophies.

    Happy belated V-Day to you!

    Another Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! The Ten of Winds from the Vanessa deck exemplifies the reason I am currently not in a relationship and not looking for one! (That’s about how my desk looks, with textbooks and binders from four classes, each unrelated to the others.) If I do get a relationship, I want a Two of Cups one, with equal give and take.

    Sonia,

    No doubt being surrounded books and focused on your future will only give you that much more to share with that eventual Two of Cups someone.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Susan
