Our futures–especially our future love lives–can be unsure, or even frightening. Whether it’s using the stars or a magic 8-ball, people have been trying to get glimpses of the future since the beginning of time. It’s up to debate how well any of these methods work, but one of the most popular and fun ways to get a glimpse into your future is by reading it on special “tarot” cards.

In a tarot deck, each card has a different meaning, one that informs or describes how you should (or did) behave in the past, present, and future. Most decks have a whopping total of 78 cards! The most important cards, however, are the 22 “Major” Arcana, which have the most to say about your fate. Most tarot readings ask the curious to pick three cards, which represent people, ideas, and events in their past, present, and future.

Since there isn’t enough space to fit all 78 cards, we’ve picked eight of the most love-related ones to give you some insight on your love life. Pick a number between one and eight, and then pick the card that matches the number to see what your future love life holds!
