How to Interpret Your “What does he/she think of me?” Reading

This is one of the most popular tarot questions because we all desperately want to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind—especially when we have feelings for them. Whether it’s a current partner, a crush, or an ex, this reading reveals the mental and emotional landscape they hold about you.

Understanding Each Card Position

Position 1: Their Dominant Thoughts About You

This card reveals what occupies their mind most when they think of you. It’s the primary mental energy they hold:

Positive cards (The Sun, Ace of Cups, The Star) = You’re a source of happiness and hope
Neutral/Complex cards (The Lovers, Justice, Two of Swords) = They’re weighing options or processing feelings
Challenging cards (Three of Swords, Five of Cups, The Tower) = Association with pain or upheaval
Passionate cards (Ace of Wands, The Devil, Knight of Wands) = Strong desire or obsession

This position sets the foundation for the entire reading. If someone thinks of you with joy vs. stress, that colors everything else.

Position 2: How They Truly See You

This goes deeper than surface thoughts to reveal their core perception of who you are:

Do they see you as a friend, lover, soulmate, or obstacle?
Do they see your strengths or focus on your flaws?
Do they see you clearly or through a distorted lens?

Court Cards reveal character perception:

Queens = They see you as mature, nurturing, emotionally intelligent
Kings = They see you as powerful, authoritative, in control
Knights = They see you as dynamic, adventurous, unpredictable
Pages = They see you as youthful, curious, or inexperienced

Suit reveals the domain:

Cups = They see you emotionally (romantic, sensitive, caring)
Wands = They see you energetically (exciting, passionate, creative)
Swords = They see you intellectually (smart, sharp, analytical)
Pentacles = They see you practically (stable, reliable, material)

Position 3: What They Admire or Notice Most

This reveals their favorite thing about you—what catches their attention and what they appreciate:

Physical attributes (often Wands or The Star)
Emotional depth (Cups cards, especially Queen of Cups)
Intelligence or wit (Swords, especially Ace or Page)
Stability or success (Pentacles, The Emperor)
Your uniqueness or authenticity (The Fool, The Magician)
Your strength through adversity (Strength card, Eight of Wands)

Even if other positions show challenges, this card reveals what they DO value about you, which is crucial information for connection.

Position 4: Their Hidden Feelings

This is what they won’t show or may not even fully acknowledge to themselves:

Secret attraction (The Devil, The Lovers, Aces)
Hidden resentment (Five of Swords, Three of Swords)
Suppressed love (Two of Cups reversed, Knight of Cups)
Fear of intimacy (Eight of Swords, The Hermit)
Jealousy or possessiveness (Four of Pentacles, The Devil)
Confusion about what they want (Seven of Cups, The Moon)

Why feelings stay hidden:

Fear of rejection or vulnerability
Already in a relationship
Social/professional boundaries
Past trauma making them guard their heart
Pride or ego preventing admission
Not ready to face their own feelings

Position 5: What They’re Not Telling You

Different from hidden feelings, this is about conscious secrets—things they know but choose not to share:

Could be positive:

Planning a surprise
Waiting for the right time to express feelings
Keeping hopes/dreams private until more certain
Protecting you from unnecessary worry

Could be challenging:

Seeing someone else
Having doubts they don’t want to hurt you with
Making plans that don’t include you
Frustrations they’re avoiding discussing
Information they think you can’t handle

The suit gives clues:

Cups = Emotional secrets (feelings, attractions)
Wands = Action secrets (plans, other pursuits)
Swords = Mental secrets (thoughts, decisions, judgments)
Pentacles = Practical secrets (money, commitments, material plans)

Position 6: How to Deepen the Connection

Based on all the revealed information, this card guides you on the best path forward:

If they’re thinking positively → How to nurture and grow this
If they’re conflicted → How to create clarity and safety
If they’re distant → Whether to pursue or let go
If they’re hiding feelings → How to create openness

This isn’t manipulation—it’s alignment. It shows you how to be authentic while creating the best conditions for genuine connection.

Different Scenarios: Partner vs Crush vs Ex

If this is your CURRENT PARTNER:

Position 1 should ideally show warmth (Cups) or passion (Wands)
Position 4 (hidden feelings) often reveals unspoken needs or fears
Position 5 (not telling you) can highlight communication gaps in the relationship
If cards are concerning, this reading becomes a roadmap for important conversations

If this is a CRUSH or someone NEW:

Position 1 reveals if you’re even on their radar romantically
Position 3 is gold—it shows what attracted them to you
Position 4 often holds the secret attraction (or lack thereof)
Position 6 guides whether to make a move or maintain mystery

If this is an EX:

Position 1 shows if they’re dwelling on you or moved on
Positions 4-5 reveal unresolved feelings or hidden truths about the breakup
Position 6 advises whether reconciliation is worth pursuing
Comparing with “Will My Ex Return?” reading gives fuller picture

Interpreting Challenging Combinations

Scenario 1: Positive thoughts (Card 1) but negative hidden feelings (Card 4) Example: The Sun in position 1, Three of Swords in position 4

Meaning: They consciously think of you positively, but subconsciously you’re associated with pain. Maybe you remind them of past hurt, or loving you scares them because they could get hurt again.

Action: Create safety. Show consistency. Give them time to reconcile the contradiction.

Scenario 2: They see you well (Card 2) but aren’t telling you something important (Card 5) Example: Queen of Cups in position 2, Seven of Swords in position 5

Meaning: They recognize your value and emotional depth, but they’re being deceptive about something. Could be another relationship, plans that don’t include you, or situations they think you’d judge.

Action: Trust your intuition. If something feels off, it probably is. Consider direct conversation about honesty.

Scenario 3: They admire you (Card 3) but hide their feelings (Card 4) Example: The Empress in position 3, The Hermit in position 4

Meaning: They genuinely admire your nurturing, creative, or abundant nature, but they’re keeping their deeper feelings private—possibly processing, or maybe they think you’re out of their league.

Action: Create openings for vulnerability. Show your own humanity. Lower the pedestal they’ve put you on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tarot really read someone else’s mind?

Tarot doesn’t literally read minds—it reads energy. Every thought and feeling has an energetic signature. When you’re connected to someone (through relationship, attraction, or history), your energy intertwines with theirs, making this accessible to intuitive tools like tarot.

What if the reading shows they’re thinking negatively of me?

Information is power. If someone views you negatively:

Evaluate if this relationship is worth your energy
Consider if their perception is based on misunderstanding you can clear up
Recognize you can’t control others’ thoughts, only your own actions
Sometimes the best response is to focus elsewhere

Should I tell them about this reading?

Generally no, especially if you’re not in an established relationship. It can come across as:

Invasive (you’re “spying” on their thoughts)
Desperate (you care too much what they think)
Weird (if they don’t believe in tarot)

Use this information to guide your behavior, not as conversation material.

How often can I do this reading about the same person?

Wait at least 2-3 weeks between readings about the same person. Thoughts and feelings need time to evolve. Reading too frequently creates:

Obsession and anxiety
Contradictory information
Analysis paralysis
Energy drain

What if their hidden feelings (Card 4) contradict their dominant thoughts (Card 1)?

This is completely normal! Humans are complex. We often think one thing consciously while feeling something else subconsciously. For example:

Consciously think “they’re just a friend” (Card 1: Three of Pentacles)
Subconsciously feeling attraction (Card 4: The Lovers)

This shows internal conflict they’re likely working through.

Can this reading predict if they’ll confess their feelings?

Look at Card 5 (what they’re not telling you) combined with Card 6 (guidance). If Card 5 shows suppressed feelings and Card 6 shows action cards (Knights, Magician, Ace of Wands), confession is more likely. But remember—free will exists. Cards show tendencies, not certainties.

The Ethics of “Mind Reading”

It’s important to address the ethics of this reading:

This reading is ethical when:

You’re seeking understanding to improve connection
You’re trying to gauge compatibility before investing emotionally
You’re processing confusion about mixed signals
You’re deciding whether to open up about your own feelings

This reading becomes problematic if:

You’re using it to manipulate someone
You’re reading on someone who’s clearly not interested (respect the “no”)
You’re obsessively reading on the same person repeatedly
You’re using it to avoid direct communication when conversation is needed

Remember: Knowing someone’s thoughts gives you information, not control. Ethical use means using this knowledge to decide your own actions, not to scheme or manipulate.

Combining This Reading With Others

For maximum insight, pair with:

“Does My Partner Love Me?” - If this is your current partner, combine both to see thoughts AND feelings depth

“Are They Attracted to Me?” - If this is a crush, use both readings to distinguish between platonic thoughts and romantic attraction

“Does My Ex Want Me Back?” - If this is an ex, combine to see current thoughts vs. likelihood of return

“Should I Confess My Feelings?” - If their thoughts are positive, this reading can guide timing and approach

Wait 24 hours between different readings to process each message clearly.

Working With the Results

If they’re thinking positively of you:

Don’t get overconfident—keep being your authentic self
Use Card 3 (what they admire) to understand what to continue
Act on Card 6 (guidance) to deepen the connection
Be patient—positive thoughts don’t always mean immediate action

If thoughts are neutral or unclear:

Accept you may not be their primary focus right now
Card 6 will guide if you should increase presence or give space
Avoid forcing yourself into their thoughts—desperation repels
Focus on being magnetic through living your best life

If thoughts are negative or distant:

Respect their mental/emotional space
Evaluate if this person is worth your continued energy
Don’t take it personally—their thoughts reflect THEIR state, not your worth
Sometimes the kindest thing is to release and redirect your focus

If they’re hiding something (Cards 4-5):

Trust the reading but verify through observation
Pay attention to their actions vs. words
Don’t confront based solely on tarot—look for real-world confirmation
Decide if you can accept secrets or need full transparency

Red Flags That Require Action

Seek these cards as warnings to reconsider the connection:

In Position 1 (Dominant Thoughts):

The Devil = Obsessive, possessive, or toxic thinking about you
Seven of Swords = They’re thinking of you deceptively, planning to use you
Five of Swords = They view the relationship as win/lose, adversarial

In Position 5 (Not Telling You):

The Tower = They’re about to drop bombshell news
Three of Swords = They’re not telling you about betrayal or heartbreak
The Devil = Hiding addictions, other relationships, toxic behaviors
Ten of Swords = It’s already over in their mind but they haven’t told you

If you see these, proceed with extreme caution. Consider direct conversation or professional guidance (therapist, counselor) before making major decisions.

Remember: While it’s natural to wonder what others think of you, your worth isn’t determined by their thoughts. This reading is a tool for understanding and connection, not for validating your value. You are inherently worthy regardless of what any single person thinks of you.

Use this information wisely—to create deeper connection where possible, and to protect yourself where necessary. And most importantly, cultivate the ability to be genuinely okay whether they’re thinking of you or not. That’s true power.
