How Does He Feel About Me? — A Tarot Guide to Reading His Heart, Hidden Feelings & Emotional Truth
Edited by HeartYearning Research Team · Updated July 2026
He is not saying it. Or he is saying one thing while his eyes say another. You have asked friends, analyzed texts, tried to read the pauses between his words. Now you are holding a deck, asking the cards to tell you what he cannot or will not. This is the most frequently asked tarot question — and the most misunderstood. The cards do not spy on people. They reveal the energetic truth of the connection. And sometimes, the answer surprises: it is not about how he feels. It is about why you need to know so badly.
Card Symbolism & Description
He is not saying it. Or he is saying one thing while his eyes say another. You have asked friends, analyzed texts, tried to read the pauses between his words. Now you are holding a deck, asking the cards to tell you what he cannot or will not. This is the most frequently asked tarot question — and the most misunderstood. The cards do not spy on people. They reveal the energetic truth of the connection. And sometimes, the answer surprises: it is not about how he feels. It is about why you need to know so badly.
Upright Meaning
Cards that signal genuine emotional connection: The Two of Cups (mutual attraction and respect), The Ace of Cups (new feelings forming, the beginning of emotional openness), The Knight of Cups (romantic interest, someone who is emotionally available and approaching), The Sun (he feels happy and warm in your presence, you bring light into his life).
Reversed Meaning
Cards that signal distance, confusion, or unavailability: The Moon (hidden feelings, confusion, something is not being said), The Seven of Swords (he may be withholding information or not being fully honest), The Four of Cups (he is emotionally withdrawn, preoccupied with something else, not seeing the offer in front of him), The Page of Swords reversed (immaturity, mixed signals, someone who enjoys the attention but not the commitment).
A reversed card does not mean the opposite of the upright meaning. It signals that the energy of this card is blocked, delayed, or being expressed inwardly rather than outwardly.
In Love & Relationships
The most effective spread: Card 1: His true feelings (the card he would never admit). Card 2: What he shows the world (the mask). Card 3: What he wants from this connection. Card 4: Where this is heading in 3 months if the dynamic does not change. The distance between Card 1 and Card 2 tells you how much he is hiding — from you, or from himself.

In a career reading, How Does He Feel About Me? — A Tarot Guide to Reading His Heart, Hidden Feelings & Emotional Truth points to the professional dynamics and financial patterns shaping your work life.

Questions to Journal On
Pull this card and write freely. Do not edit — the first answer is usually the truest.
Why is it so important to me to know how he feels rather than to know how I feel?
If the cards showed he felt nothing, would I walk away — or would I find a way to reinterpret the reading?
Historical Note
The Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck was first published in 1909. Artist Pamela Colman Smith created the illustrations under the direction of A.E. Waite. Prior to this deck, Minor Arcana cards used simple pip designs. The illustrated scenes we now associate with every card were Smith and Waite's innovation, transforming tarot into the contemplative tool millions use today.
Want a Personalized Reading?
A reference page can tell you what How Does He Feel About Me? — A Tarot Guide to Reading His Heart, Hidden Feelings & Emotional Truth means in general. A professional reader can tell you what it means for you — in the context of your spread, your question, and your life. The same card means something entirely different next to The Lovers versus next to The Tower. A 5-minute session brings the cards to life in a way no reference page can.
One card gives you a direction. But in tarot, the meaning of any card depends on the cards around it. Death next to The Lovers means one thing. Death next to The Tower means something entirely different. A reference page can tell you what each card means individually. A real reader sees the connections between them — and that is where the actual story lives. A 5-minute session with a professional tarot reader is free — and it will tell you more than an hour of studying card meanings alone. No obligation.
