Everything that is currently blocking you in your love life needs to be resolved and understood. The time has come to accept yourself and your past. You must grieve your previous relationships and remove from your life everything that causes you pain and worry.

It may be worthwhile to see a psychologist, a hypnotherapist or a kinesiologist to discover which past wounds are preventing you from moving forward, so that you can address them. An inner assessment is necessary in order to attract the right people to you.

The past, like solitude, has something comforting about it. You are thus at ease, far from the torments and sorrows that love stories cause. The end of your single life is near; however, you resist.

You are afraid to move in a new direction; you do not feel ready at the moment. The path seems too risky, you fear novelty and your self-confidence is greatly diminished.

You have possibly been single for a while and you no longer quite know how to commit again. The time has come to accept moving up to the next level.

The break-up is near, if it has not already happened. This situation is very hard for you to accept; it is a source of stress and fear. You do not envisage life without your partner, yet even if the change hurts you, you know that this relationship causes you more harm than good.

You are enduring this ending; however, this transformation is necessary and will allow you to renew your love life. Beautiful things are coming, do not lose hope.

In a love triangle, if you draw the Death card reversed, it indicates that a transformation is necessary.
