Ethical Love Questions
Ask about your own feelings, choices and the relationship's dynamics — not to spy on another person. “What do I need to understand about this connection?” is better than “Is he with someone else right now?”.

Reading Court Cards in Love
Court cards often describe a person in the relationship: the Knight of Cups is the romantic, the King of Pentacles the stable provider, the Queen of Swords the independent communicator. Ask whether the card describes them, you, or the dynamic.
Reversals in Love
A reversed love card usually points to blocked or uneven energy rather than an ending — for example a reversed Two of Cups suggests imbalance or miscommunication worth addressing.
