December 14, 2023 | Katrina van Wyk
Are you tired of the same old dinner and movie routine? Would you like to add an extra layer of intimacy and insight to your date nights? If so, why not try incorporating tarot card readings into your special evenings with your lover? This can be a really beautiful way to deepen your connection and explore the depths of your relationship. The Tarot is such a special tool that can give really special insights into our lives and help us navigate through challenges and uncertainties. Using the Tarot during a date night can open up a space for deep conversations and shared exploration. Keep on reading to find out how the Tarot can enhance your date nights and bring you closer to your partner.
Setting the Mood: Creating the Perfect Tarot Date Night Atmosphere
To create the perfect Tarot Date Night atmosphere, start by setting the mood. You want to infuse all the mystical vibes into the space. Start by lighting some candles and burning some incense to create a soothing and magical ambience.
You could also clear the energy by smudging the space with sage or palo santo. Next, select a cosy and comfortable setting for your Tarot date night. Place a couple of comfy pillows and blankets on the floor or couch, creating a cosy nest for you and your partner to relax in.

Dim the lights and play some soft, ambient music in the background. It is all about setting the scene and creating a sacred space for you and your partner to connect on a deeper level.
Preparing Your Tarot Decks: Choosing the Right Cards for Your Date Night
Next, you need to choose the right deck for you to use. Perhaps some of you only have one deck and others have multiple, this doesn’t really matter. Make use of what you have, the message will always be the same.
The fact that the two of you are doing something so sacred and special together is what truly matters. On a side note, it is also important to cleanse and energize your tarot decks before using them for your date night.
This can be done by shuffling the cards while visualizing and intention of clearing any stagnant energy and infusing them with love and positivity. Or you could also smudge the decks while you are smudging the room, allowing the smoke to purify and rejuvenate the energy of the cards. Once you have your decks ready, it’s time to dive into the Tarot Date Night experience!
When it comes to the Tarot, there is definitely no shortage of spreads to choose from. The two of you should ask yourselves what your intentions are for this evening and what insights you would like to gain from the card readings.
Do you want to explore your relationship dynamics, deepen your emotional connection, or gain insight into a specific area of your life? Once you have a clear intention in mind, choose a spread that aligns with your goals. Here are a few examples:
The Relationship Spead – You, The Other, The Relationship
This spread will help you explore each individual’s perspectives, and feelings, and how they contribute to the overall relationship dynamic.
The Looking Glass – Past, Present, Future
This spread offers insights into how past experiences have shaped the present, and what future possibilities may arise based on current actions and choices.
The Love and Intimacy Spread – Emotional Connection, Physical Connection, Spiritual Connection
This spread delves into the different aspects of love and intimacy in your relationship. It examines the emotional, physical, and spiritual connections between you and your partner.
The Communication Spread – What I Say, What I Hear, What We Need

The Goals and Dreams Spread – Individual Goals, Shared Goals, Potential Obstacles
This spread allows you to explore your individual aspirations, shared goals as a couple, and any potential obstacles that may arise along the way.
Now that you have some inspiration for choosing a spread, the next step is to shuffle the deck together while keeping your intention in mind. As you shuffle the deck together, have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your intentions for the card reading and what insights you hope to gain from it.
Discuss Your Insights
Once you have completed the card reading, take the time to discuss your insights with your partner. Share what each card represents to you, how it resonates with your personal experiences, and any emotions or thoughts that arise.
It is totally okay to consult the booklet or search for the meanings on the internet, but try your best to allow the images to speak to you and what your intuition is trying to tell you about the cards.
After discussing your insights, reflect on how these messages from the Tarot can deepen your understanding of each other and your relationship. By engaging in a Tarot card reading together, you and your partner can gain deeper insights into each other’s perspectives, feelings, and desires, allowing for a greater sense of intimacy and connection between you both.
Another way to use the Tarot to inject some fun into your relationship is to use it as a source of entertainment, and inspiration for shared activities for you and your partner. For example, you can use the Tarot to choose date night activities. I would suggest that you only use the Major Arcana cards for this exercise as these cards are a little more direct.

Astrology has been my passion since I first got my hands on a Linda Goodman book as a child. I have always found it fascinating being able to understand people on a much deeper level thanks to the knowledge the stars provide us. I spent most of my 20s in the modeling industry, but in 2017 I decided to follow my gut as well as my passion and enrolled myself in an Astrology short course, and from then on, I was hooked! I ended up doing a three-year certificate course under the guidance of esteemed Astrologer, Rod Suskin. Through my passion for Astrology, I also found a passion for writing and helping others understand themselves better using this ancient art form.
