Red Flags to watch out for in your current or potential relationship

red flag blog banner

Feeling a quiet doubt about your relationship — and not sure if you’re overthinking it?

Red flags are easy to rationalise away when your heart is involved.

Tarot won’t make the decision for you, but it can name what your intuition has already noticed: the patterns, the imbalances, and the warning signs worth paying attention to before they grow.

Settle your mind, hold your relationship in your thoughts, and choose the card that draws you. It will point to what deserves a closer, honest look.

Choice 1 – Seven of Swords

Your current/potential partner might be deceitful and manipulative.
Be careful, resist the urge to play games, and steer clear of people who play games with you.
It may keep you interested at the beginning, but at some stage, when they have built up some trust in you, they have to drop the act, be themselves, and allow themselves to be vulnerable with you!
A third party might try to stir trouble in your relationship.

Choice 2 – Ten of Swords (Reversed)

This card can indicate a relationship coming back from the brink of failure, or collapsing completely.
If you are in an abusive relationship, you will eventually try to escape the relationship.
Moreover, you might face extreme abuse emotional or physical. You must be in a safe environment as staying put could prove dangerous.

Choice 3 – The Sun (Reversed)

This card indicates that you may be feeling left out in the cold by your partner.
You are finding it difficult to see a way forward for you and your partner. It can also signify jealousy or trying to score points off each other.
If you’re single, you may have become egotistical that you are putting off potential partners. Trying to impress a potential partner may be having the opposite effect as it may come across that you are constantly bragging.
Just dial it back a bit. They will respond much more favorably if you drop that ego and be yourself!

Choice 4 – Knight of Cups (Reversed)

The negative aspects of the reversed Knight of Cups can take many forms:
A partner who turns from being happy and committed to a commitment-phobic partner, a heart-breaker or cheater, or a partner who becomes obsessive, abusive, or misogynistic.
It can also represent them becoming any of these things to you and may indicate drug or alcohol abuse being an issue in a relationship.

Choice 5 – Ten of Pentacles

This card indicates that your potential partner’s family approval plays an influential role in your relationship.
Your partner strongly wants you to maintain a good relationship with his/her family since they believe that marriage is not only about love but also about joining two families together.
The issues in your relationship may arise from a difference in backgrounds, belief systems, or family traditions.

Red flags vs. normal friction

Every relationship has rough patches — disagreements, off weeks, growing pains.

A red flag is different: it’s a pattern that repeats and erodes trust, safety, or your sense of self.

The cards help you tell a passing storm from a structural crack.

Cards that often flag warning signs

The Tower (sudden upheaval), the Devil (control, dependency, unhealthy attachment), the Five and Three of Swords (conflict, betrayal, hurt), and reversed Cups (emotional unavailability) are the cards I watch for in a red-flag reading.

Reversed court cards can point to a specific person’s behaviour.

What to do when you spot a red flag

Naming a red flag isn’t the same as ending things. Some flags are conversations; some are boundaries; a few are exits.

The card shows you the pattern — what you do next is yours to choose, ideally with a clear head and, where it’s serious, support from people you trust.
