Card #1: The Root of Your Heartbreak

The first card in this spread represents the core reason behind your heartbreak.

The third card shows what lessons you learned from the relationship. These lessons might be painful, but they also help one’s personal growth and might help you realize what you truly desire in your next relationship. They are the silver lining in every breakup.

Card #4: How to Heal and Move Forward

This card suggests actions, attitudes, or perspectives that can help you emotionally recover and move forward. If that’s not something you’re fully ready for, just memorize what this card is offering you—chances are, you will need it sooner rather than later.Card #5: How to Rebuild Your Confidence

Heartbreak can destroy one’s self-esteem unless you do everything to ensure it doesn’t. The fifth card can offer you some insights into your confidence and self-worth. Hopefully, it will remind you of your strengths and potential.

The sixth card explores the external influences that affect your ability to heal and move on, such as support systems, life circumstances, or even new opportunities that will soon present themselves.
