relational clarity
understanding the dynamic
Prepared for: Sample Report
Date: December 2025
before we begin:
This report uses tarot as a framework for understanding the psychological patterns, dynamics, and energies at play in your situation. The cards don't predict a fixed future - instead, they illuminate what's happening beneath the surface and offer guidance on your clearest path forward.
My approach integrates concepts from attachment theory and psychology with traditional tarot interpretation. I focus on patterns, not predictions - empowering you to make informed decisions rather than waiting for specific outcomes.
What follows is a deep dive into your situation. Take what resonates, sit with what challenges you, and trust yourself to know what's true.
Detached energy and avoidance of commitment clashes with a desire for union and strategic focus on the future. An invitation to find inner strength and security by centering your own self-worth.
understanding THEM
King of Swords
Their core energy in this connection
They are likely a direct communicator who leads with logic. They may even be blunt, as they do not soften their message. They have set clear standards and are likely unwilling to compromise on their core values.
While their communication is commendably clear and direct, this analytical approach can manifest as an affective detachment. The warning here is that emotional vulnerability, sensitivity, or empathy may be severely limited, risking an overly cold disposition that prioritizes logic over relational connection.
They could possibly have difficulty with vulnerability, unable to express their emotions in a soft way. The risk is that they may be overly cold, not considering the emotions of others.

What deeper pattern is their energy driven by?
This card indicates their King of Swords energy in the connection is driven by a deeper pattern of lack of groundedness and practicality. The energy they are showing up with this in the relationship is not new for them: they’ve been here before. They may not have the follow through to see things through when the initial excitement wears off and practical work is required. The Page of Coins reversed is immature and has a tendency to avoid commitment.
What these cards mean together…
The King of Swords energy in this dynamic is likely driven by a deeply ingrained avoidant attachment driver, characterized by a lack of emotional investment, immaturity, and an unwillingness to engage in practical-long term effort required to build a solid and secure foundation. In short, their mastery their King of Swords energy is due to a deeper pattern of immaturity. In this connection, they may be showing up by being very verbal about what they will and will not do in the relationship. They may be quite forthcoming about not being willing to put in the effort to grow the relationship, and it may be expressed in a “take it or leave it” sort of way.
understanding YOU
The Lovers
Your core energy in this connection
Your energy is deeply focused on union, harmony, and conscious choice. The presence of The Lovers suggests you are highly invested in exploring the connection's potential, seeking a powerful, integrated balance between two distinct parts. This energy often reflects a deep desire for a true partnership and is highly aware of the values and choices that define the relationship's character. However, while driven by harmony, this card also highlights that the core concern is the relationship itself—you are actively making decisions based on this specific dynamic and seeking to resolve the tension between conflicting relational desires.
2 of Wands
What deeper needs are driving this energy?
This card indicates that your deep-seated relational pattern is driven by strategic planning, future projection, and control of the next steps. The Two of Wands is stable and grounded but views the relationship through a lens of expansion and progress. Your pattern is not one of panic or anxiety, but rather a compelling need to define the long-term trajectory and view the connection as a project or part of a larger, global plan. While ambitious and stable, the risk here is viewing the partner or the relationship as a stepping stone rather than valuing the present, organic growth process.
What these cards mean together…
Your Lovers energy, fueled by the Two of Wands driver, indicates you are approaching this dynamic with a highly proactive and intentional attachment style. Your desire for union is coupled with a strong strategic impulse, meaning you are seeking a secure, balanced partnership that also aligns perfectly with your future goals. The challenge you face is one of internal management: ensuring your deep desire for relational harmony doesn't turn the other person into a key piece of a required plan, which can feel pressurized or demanding when interacting with a partner who is unwilling to commit.
the CONNECTION
The Conflict:
The essential clash is between Active Pursuit of Union (The Lovers / Two of Wands) and Affective Detachment (King of Swords / Page of Pentacles Rx). Your planned, harmonious approach is colliding directly with their non-committal, intellectualized retreat.
The Attachment Trap:
Your intentional, strategic pursuit is being triggered by their avoidance and lack of grounded follow-through. Their avoidant behavior serves to keep you in the strategic planning phase (Two of Wands), rather than achieving the harmonious union (The Lovers) you desire. This creates a classic "pursuer-distancer" cycle.
Why This Matters:
This dynamic means you are doing the emotional and strategic heavy lifting, constantly planning and choosing, while they are using logic and distance to avoid the practical requirements of commitment.
4 of Swords
What is this connection revealing about compatibility and alignment?
The Four of Swords currently illuminates what is most significant about the connection: It requires rest, recovery, and a psychological pause.
This card strongly suggests that the energy being expended on the conflict (the pursuit vs. the distance) has led to exhaustion. The dynamic, as it exists now, is unsustainable and emotionally taxing.
The challenge is not to force a breakthrough, but to withdraw the energy currently being invested into analyzing and chasing the dynamic. The greatest significance of this connection right now is its demand for psychological self-preservation.
Your path forward, therefore, is to heed this call for pause, to find clarity and perspective through stillness, rather than through further active effort or confrontation.
moving FORWARD
Strength
What is the invitation or lesson here?
Simply put - this card means you have the strength to persevere. The wisdom of Strength is not found in aggression or force, but in gentle, persistent influence. You already possess the inner bravery and resilience to overcome obstacles with patience, compassion, and diplomacy.
Looking at your pattern, there is an invitation to first ground into your inner knowing to uncover: is this even the right partner for you? Or are you trying to mold them into something they’re not to fit your larger plan for love, or are you accepting them as they are?
Trust in what you know to move forward with confidence.
10 of Cups
What is your path forward?
This card encourages you to actively cultivate and embody the emotional fulfillment and security that represent your heart's deepest desires. The Ten of Cups assures you that the path to fulfillment is found not in external chasing, but in internal wholeness.
This cultivation demands radical self-honesty: Are you pretending issues don't exist, or are you hoping your partner will eventually mold themselves into the image required for your plan? The practical step here requires accepting your partner for who they truly are, recognizing their avoidant pattern as a fixed reality, and then consciously choosing to pour your strategic energy into the people, places, and activities that already make your life feel whole and joyful. This means defining your personal definition of success, security, and peace, and actively building that reality without reliance on the dynamic changing.
What these cards mean together…
Lean into your inner bravery to practice radical self-honesty. Accept what is with courage and put your energy toward the things that already make you feel fulfilled.
the CORE TRUTH
There is a fundamental tension rooted in differing approaches to intimacy: your intentional, strategic pursuit (The Lovers/Two of Wands) clashes directly with your partner's affective detachment and avoidance of commitment (King of Swords/Page of Pentacles Rx). This dynamic has resulted in psychological exhaustion, signified by the Four of Swords, which currently demands a strategic retreat. The wisdom of the reading is that resolution is an internal project: your most powerful step forward is cultivating a complete sense of self-worth and security, embodying the Ten of Cups, independent of the dynamic's outcome.
Practical steps:
1. Pause the pursuit
Honor the Four of Swords and its call for rest. Stop analyzing, strategizing, or trying to make this work through sheer willpower.
2. Practice radical honesty
Use your fire to ask yourself the hard questions about this relationship, being in full, gentle acceptance of whatever comes up.
3. Redirect your energy
Pour your intentional, strategic energy into building the Ten of Cups life - with or without this person. The relationship may evolve or it may end. Either way, you move forward whole.
Questions to sit with:
As you integrate this reading into your life, these questions may guide you:
Where have I been choosing potential over reality?
What would honoring my worth look like in this situation?
What would it look like to just let the connection rest?
What am I most afraid will happen if I stop pursuing?
What becomes possible when I redirect this energy toward myself?
