Which tarot cards mean love?
This quiz tests whether you can recognise the main love cards and tell them apart. The Lovers, the Two of Cups, the Ace of Cups and the Ten of Cups speak of feeling most often, while the Empress adds care and physical warmth. The questions set these cards side by side: where is mutual feeling, where an open heart, where a shared home already?
Each love card has its own shade. The Lovers are a conscious choice by two people and shared values. The Two of Cups is an equal exchange, with attraction flowing both ways. The Ace of Cups is an overflowing cup, a feeling too big to keep inside. The Ten of Cups is love that has become a home for everyone nearby.
Cards that strengthen love, and cards that work against it
Helpers often turn up beside the main cards. The Knight of Cups brings courtship and the words you have long wanted to hear. The Four of Wands marks a couple reaching a new stage: meeting the family, moving in together, an anniversary worth celebrating.
Other cards show where the warmth is draining away. The Three of Swords speaks of a wound and an unspoken grievance, though not necessarily of an ending. The Four of Cups describes boredom and habit in place of real contact. Neither passes a sentence on the couple; they point at what is worth talking about.
Love in tarot doesn't belong to one suit. Cups carry the feelings, but the Major Arcana and even the Wands describe a couple too, just from another angle: through choice, care, celebration or passion.
How the quiz works
Each round has five questions from a pool of twelve: picking one card out of four, real-life situations and a couple of popular myths. A short explanation follows each answer, and you can reread them all at the end.
Tayna keys go to a round with no mistakes, and you can play as often as you like. The cards describe the mood of a relationship today; the decisions about it always stay with the people in it.

6. Whose shadow side in love, when reversed, is grand gestures with no follow-through?
Right answer: Knight of Cups
The Knight of Cups is a romantic bearing a gift. Reversed, he asks you to check promises against actions.
7. The Three of Swords and the Four of Cups both work against love. How do they differ?
Right answer: A wound versus a cooling

9. How can the cards show whether two people's feelings are mutual?
Right answer: Draw one card for each person
Draw for your feelings and for theirs, then compare suit and tone. A sharp difference is a reason to talk.

Right answer: Ace of Cups

11. If a love reading contains cards against love, the couple is doomed.
Right answer: Myth

12. The relationship has cooled, and the Ace of Cups appears. What can it point to?
Right answer: The feeling comes alive again
The Ace of Cups often turns up when a cooled relationship suddenly comes back to life: the heart opens again.
