Relationships are complex, and deciding whether to hold on or let go can be one of the most heart-wrenching decisions ever. Whether married or in a committed relationship, feelings of confusion, doubt, or being stuck can be overwhelming. Tarot, an ancient tool of guidance and self-reflection, can provide the clarity you need in these moments of uncertainty. It’s not about predicting the future but about gaining insight into your situation, your partner’s feelings, and your emotional needs. Let's explore how Tarot can help you make these tough decisions through real-life examples.
Understanding the Role of Tarot in Relationships
Tarot acts like a mirror, reflecting what’s happening within and around you. It uncovers the hidden aspects of your relationship, helps you understand the emotional currents, and offers guidance on what action might bring the most peace and growth. The cards reveal the struggles you’re experiencing and point toward possible paths forward, helping you navigate the emotional landscape more clearly.
Case Study 1: Ritu and Amit (names changed) – Rebuilding Trust after Infidelity
Situation:
Ritu, 34, and Amit, 37, had been married for seven years when Amit’s infidelity came to light. Hurt and betrayed, Ritu felt torn between holding on to the relationship for the sake of their child and letting go to protect her self-respect and emotional well-being. She wanted to rebuild trust but was unsure if it was possible or worth the effort.
Tarot’s Guidance: Ritu took a Tarot reading session with me (Chhavi Upadhyay). The reading highlighted the deep impact of betrayal and the shaken foundation of their relationship. The reading reflected Ritu’s pain and emphasised the importance of facing heartbreak directly rather than avoiding it.
The turning point in the reading was the indication of hope, healing, and renewal. It suggested that while the road to forgiveness would be long, it wasn’t impossible. As a solution, exercises for Ritu and Amit were proposed, like open communication sessions, expressing gratitude daily, and small acts to rebuild trust. The guidance from Tarot didn’t promise a perfect outcome but showed that if both were willing to work together, healing was achievable.
Outcome: Ritu and Amit began couples therapy alongside the suggested exercises. Over time, Amit’s genuine efforts to regain trust and Ritu’s openness to healing allowed them to rebuild their bond stronger than before. Today, Ritu feels more confident in her decision to stay, finding hope in the journey of trust restoration.
Case Study 2: Neha and Rahul (names changed) – Recognising When to Let Go
Situation:
Neha, 29, was in a five-year relationship with Rahul, 32. Although they loved each other, constant conflicts, disrespectful communication, and mismatched future goals were causing a strain. Neha felt exhausted, frequently questioning if their differences were too big to overcome. The fear of ending a long-term relationship weighed heavily on her mind.
Tarot’s Guidance: Neha took a Tarot consultation, which reflected the ongoing conflict and chaos in their relationship, highlighting unhealthy patterns such as co-dependency and emotional manipulation. The reading helped Neha see that the recurring issues were deeper than surface-level disagreements.
The guidance pointed towards a journey of moving away from pain, both physically and emotionally, gently suggesting that letting go was not a failure but a necessary step for her peace and personal growth. It encouraged Neha to view her decision as a positive step towards her well-being rather than just the end of a relationship.
Outcome: Neha made the tough decision to end her relationship with Rahul. While painful, she felt empowered knowing she chose herself and her future happiness. Over time, she realised that letting go allowed her to explore her own needs and priorities, which had been neglected. Neha now uses Tarot as a self-reflection tool and feels more in control of her emotional journey.
