How to Interpret Your “Are We Meant to Be?” Reading

This is one of the deepest questions you can ask about a relationship. It goes beyond “Do they love me?” or “Will we stay together?” to explore the soul-level purpose of your connection. Whether you believe in destiny, karma, or simply want to understand if this relationship serves your highest good, this reading provides profound insights.

Understanding Each Card Position

Position 1: The Foundation of Your Connection

This reveals the energetic blueprint of your relationship—what brought you together and what holds you together at the deepest level:

Soul Recognition (Strong Foundation):

Two of Cups = Twin flame or soulmate recognition, instant soul bond
The Lovers = Divine union, choice made at soul level before incarnation
Six of Cups = Past life connection, karmic recognition, familiar souls reuniting
The Star = Spiritual connection, you inspire each other’s highest selves
Ten of Cups = Soul family, meant to create happiness together

Growth Foundation (Learning Connection):

The Hierophant = Spiritual teachers to each other, traditional karmic bond
Temperance = Balance and alchemy, you complement each other’s energies
Justice = Karmic debt or reward, balancing past life dynamics
Strength = You empower each other, overcome obstacles together

Challenging Foundation:

The Devil = Intense magnetic pull but potentially toxic or karmic loop
The Tower = Met to break each other open, catalyst for transformation
Five of Cups = Founded on loss or healing mutual wounds
Three of Swords = Pain brought you together, trauma bonding possible

The foundation doesn’t determine if you “should” be together—it explains WHY you’re together and what the relationship is built on.

Position 2: Past Life/Karmic Influences

This position reveals soul history between you—whether you’ve known each other before and what unfinished business exists:

Positive Karmic Bonds:

Wheel of Fortune = You’ve met in multiple lifetimes, cyclic soul connection
The World = Completed past karmic work, this lifetime is reward
Six of Cups = Lovers or family in past lives, deep soul familiarity
Four of Wands = Were married/committed in past life, soul vows carried forward
Knight/Queen of Cups = Past life love story, romantic soul contract

Karmic Lessons to Complete:

Justice = Karmic debt from past life, here to balance scales
Eight of Swords = One trapped/oppressed the other, reversing roles now
Five of Swords = Past life conflict, here to resolve old battle
The Hanged Man = One sacrificed for the other, learning new dynamic
Death = Ended badly in past life, here to transform the pattern

No Significant Past Life Connection:

The Fool = New souls to each other, fresh start
Ace of any suit = New karmic contract beginning this lifetime
Pages = Young connection, first time meeting across lifetimes

Important: Not all soulmates have past life connections. Some souls contract to meet for the first time to teach specific lessons.

Position 3: The Purpose of This Relationship

This is the soul contract—why your souls agreed to this connection:

Growth & Evolution Purposes:

The Magician = Teach each other manifestation, personal power
The High Priestess = Awaken intuition, spiritual gifts in each other
Strength = Learn self-mastery, patience, compassion through each other
Temperance = Master balance, integration, healing through union
The Star = Inspire each other’s highest potential, mutual healing

Love & Creation Purposes:

The Empress = Create together (children, art, abundance, nurturing)
Ten of Cups = Experience and model true partnership, create family
Ace of Cups = Open each other’s hearts, experience unconditional love
Four of Wands = Build stable foundation, celebrate life together

Catalyst & Transformation Purposes:

The Tower = Break down false structures, catalyst for necessary change
Death = Transform each other completely, release old identities
The Devil = Confront shadow selves, break karmic chains together
The Hanged Man = Learn surrender, see from new perspective

Completion Purposes:

The World = Complete a soul cycle together, graduation relationship
Ten of any suit = Fulfill karmic contract, reach completion point
Justice = Balance karmic debt, restore equilibrium

Warning: If the purpose is transformation or catalyst, the relationship may not be meant to last forever—it’s meant to change you forever.

Position 4: Challenges to Overcome Together

Every destined relationship has soul-level tests—obstacles that strengthen the bond or reveal if you’re truly meant to be:

External Challenges:

Five of Pentacles = Financial struggles, material hardship to overcome
Three of Swords = External betrayals, family opposition, social judgment
Seven of Swords = Trust issues from outside interference, secrets
Eight of Wands = Distance, timing issues, fast-paced external changes
The Hierophant = Tradition, family expectations, societal rules blocking you

Internal Challenges:

Two of Swords = Indecision, fear of commitment from one or both
Seven of Cups = Illusions, unrealistic expectations, fantasy vs. reality
Five of Cups = Dwelling on past, inability to forgive, grief
The Moon = Fear, anxiety, self-deception, hidden aspects
Eight of Swords = Self-imposed limitations, victim mentality

Relationship Dynamic Challenges:

Five of Swords = Power struggles, need to win, ego battles
The Devil = Codependency, addiction, toxic patterns
Four of Pentacles = Control issues, possessiveness, fear of loss
Three of Cups = Third-party interference, jealousy, boundary issues

Karmic Challenges:

The Wheel = Repeating old patterns, stuck in karmic loop
Justice = Must make amends, balance past wrongs
The Hanged Man = One must sacrifice, patience required

If challenges seem insurmountable, ask: “Is overcoming this part of our soul growth, or is the challenge itself the message to let go?”

Position 5: Your Destined Path Together

This reveals the highest timeline available to you—what happens if you both do the soul work:

Destined for Lasting Partnership:

Ten of Cups = Happily ever after, soul family completion
Four of Wands = Marriage, commitment, stable loving partnership
The World = Complete the soul cycle together successfully
The Sun = Joy, success, children, happiness in union
Two of Cups = Ongoing deep soul connection, balanced partnership

Destined for Transformation Then Separation:

The Tower = Intense transformation then necessary ending
Death = Complete metamorphosis of both, may outgrow connection
Eight of Cups = One walks away after learning lessons
Ten of Swords = Painful but necessary ending, clearing old karma
The Hanged Man = Relationship must be sacrificed for higher purpose

Destined for Continued Growth:

The Hermit = Spiritual partnership, guide each other’s inner work
Temperance = Ongoing balance and alchemy, lifelong practice
Strength = Build strength together, overcome ongoing challenges
The Star = Inspire each other indefinitely, healing journey together

Uncertain/Choice-Based Destiny:

Two of Swords = Destined to choose, free will determines outcome
The Lovers = Active choice required, destiny isn’t fixed
Wheel of Fortune = Cyclical, may separate and reunite multiple times
Seven of Wands = Must actively fight for this connection

Critical insight: Destiny isn’t fixed. This card shows the POTENTIAL if both honor the connection and do the work. Free will can alter any destiny.

Position 6: How to Honor This Connection

Regardless of whether you’re “meant to be” forever, this card shows how to honor the soul contract:

For Lasting Partnerships:

The Empress/Emperor = Nurture and protect, provide stable foundation
Four of Wands = Commit, celebrate, build traditions together
Knight of Cups = Stay romantic, keep emotional connection alive
Ten of Pentacles = Build legacy, focus on long-term security together
The Hierophant = Honor traditions, seek spiritual guidance together

For Growth Partnerships:

The Hermit = Give each other space for inner work
Temperance = Practice patience, don’t rush natural timing
Strength = Support each other’s challenges with compassion
The High Priestess = Trust intuition, honor the mystery
The Star = Keep faith, focus on healing not just staying together

For Ending with Grace:

Death = Allow transformation, don’t cling to old form
Eight of Cups = Honor the knowing when it’s time to leave
Ten of Swords = Accept the ending, don’t resurrect what’s finished
The Tower = Let it crumble if it must, trust the destruction

For Uncertain Situations:

Two of Swords = Give it time, don’t force a decision
The Hanged Man = Surrender, wait for clarity
Seven of Cups = Get clear on what’s real vs. fantasy
Justice = Be fair, balanced, make ethical choices

Signs You’re Destined Soulmates

Strong Soulmate Indicators:

When you see these patterns across the reading:

Multiple Major Arcana = Soul-level significance, karmic importance
The Lovers + Two of Cups anywhere = Divine pairing, soul recognition
Six of Cups + positive cards = Past life love reunited
Ten of Cups in destiny position = Meant for lasting happiness
The World anywhere = Completion souls, graduated partnership
Matching court cards = Equal partnership, twin flame energy

Deep Karmic Connection (but complicated):

Justice + The Devil = Karmic debt with toxic patterns
Tower + Death = Meant to destroy and transform each other
The Hanged Man + Eight of Swords = Sacrifice and suffering themes
Wheel + repeated challenges = Karmic loop, same lessons repeating

Important Teaching Connection (not necessarily forever):

The Hierophant as purpose = Teacher-student dynamic
Death as destiny = Meant to end after transformation
Eight of Cups + positive purpose = Fulfilled contract, time to move on
Strong purpose + weak foundation = Lesson is clear but relationship fragile

Frequently Asked Questions

If we’re “meant to be,” why is it so hard?

Soulmate doesn’t mean easy—it often means the OPPOSITE. Souls contract for growth, and growth requires challenge. The hardest relationships often teach the most. Ask: “Am I growing or just suffering?” There’s a difference.

Can we have multiple soulmates?

Absolutely. You have many soulmates—romantic, platonic, familial. Some believe you have one twin flame but multiple soulmates. Not all soulmates are meant to be together forever; some are meant to teach and leave.

What if the reading shows we’re NOT meant to be?

This doesn’t mean the connection isn’t real or important. It may mean:

The timing isn’t right
The lesson is complete
You’re meant to love each other but not be together
Free will has taken you off the destined path
The “meant to be” is the growth, not the relationship lasting

How do I know if it’s a soulmate or just chemistry?

Soulmate signs:

Instant recognition, feeling of “coming home”
They trigger deep growth and healing
Synchronicities surround the connection
You feel changed by knowing them
There’s a sense of purpose beyond attraction

Just chemistry:

Primarily physical/sexual attraction
Doesn’t trigger deep personal growth
Fades when challenges arise
No sense of larger purpose
Feels exciting but not transformative

Can I force a soulmate connection?

No. Soulmate connections are recognized, not created. You can’t convince someone to be your soulmate, and you can’t force destiny. If it requires constant force, it’s likely not the destined path.

What if we’re soulmates but they don’t want to be together?

This is painful but possible. Being soulmates doesn’t override free will. They may:

Not be ready for the intensity
Have other life lessons to complete first
Need to honor a different path this lifetime
Be running from the connection out of fear

Your job is to honor YOUR truth and not abandon yourself waiting for them to “wake up.”

Does “meant to be” mean we’ll definitely end up together?

Not necessarily. “Meant to be” can mean:

Meant to meet and transform each other
Meant to teach specific lessons
Meant to love each other but not be together
Meant for THIS moment, not forever
Meant to try, even if it doesn’t work out

Destiny creates opportunities. Free will chooses what to do with them.

Red Flags: When “Meant to Be” Becomes Dangerous

Toxic patterns masked as destiny:

Be cautious if you see:

The Devil in foundation + repeated suffering = Karmic abuse cycle
Tower + Death + Devil combination = Destructive not transformative
Justice + pain cards but no growth happening = Staying for “karma” when you should leave
Wheel of Fortune + same problems repeating = Karmic loop, not evolution
Using “meant to be” to justify:
- Abuse or mistreatment
- Ignoring red flags
- Staying when you’re miserable
- One person doing all the work
- Constant drama and chaos

Important: Soulmate connections should ultimately elevate you, even if challenging. If you’re consistently diminished, traumatized, or losing yourself, the soul lesson might be to LEAVE, not stay.

Combining This Reading With Others

For complete clarity:

“Does My Partner Love Me?” - Combine to see if soul destiny aligns with current feelings

“Relationship Timeline” - See how the destined path unfolds over time

“Should I Stay or Go?” - If destiny is unclear, this helps with the human choice

“What Are They Thinking?” - Their conscious thoughts vs. soul agreement may differ

Space readings 24-48 hours apart to process each message independently.

Working With The Results

If you’re clearly destined soulmates:

Don’t use this as excuse to avoid doing the work
Honor the connection by being your best self
Accept the challenges as part of the contract
Trust the timing, even when it’s frustrating
Remember free will still matters—choose daily to honor this

If it’s a karmic lesson, not forever:

Don’t be devastated—this is still valuable
Focus on what you’re learning
Complete the lesson consciously
Be open to letting go when it’s time
Honor them as teacher, not “the one who got away”

If the reading is unclear:

Accept that some things unfold with time
Don’t obsess over making it “destined”
Live in the present moment with them
Let the connection evolve naturally
Do another reading in 3-6 months if still uncertain

If it shows you’re NOT meant to be:

Grieve, but don’t ignore the message
Consider this might be your soul’s wisdom
Look for the gift in the connection anyway
Trust there’s another path for you
Open yourself to what IS meant for you

Remember: The most important “meant to be” is between you and YOURSELF. No soulmate connection is worth abandoning your own soul. Honor this connection by first honoring yourself. The right person will enhance your life, not require you to diminish it.

Trust that whatever unfolds is part of your soul’s perfect journey. Whether you’re meant to be together forever or meant to be transformed by each other, both are sacred. The universe doesn’t make mistakes—even when our hearts wish for different answers.
