You've been keeping a careful record in your head: the night he called just to talk, the three days he barely answered, the way he looked at you and then said he wasn't ready. Trying to read a man's heart from the outside is tiring work. Wanting a real answer doesn't make you needy. It makes you someone who cares and would like to stop guessing.
The cards are good at emotional temperature. They show warmth or coolness, longing or confusion, what draws him toward you and what makes him pull back, and whether his feeling is moving out into action or staying locked inside him. They can't hand you a transcript of his thoughts or make his choices for him. A man can care and still hold back, and this book shows you how to read both when they land side by side.
Part One teaches you to read another person's heart, with Cups for what he feels, Wands for what he wants, Swords for what he fears and Pentacles for what he's willing to build, plus the three questions I ask to tell whether a card is about him or about you. Part Two reads thirty-five cards for one question: the cards that say he cares, like the Two of Cups and the Knight of Pentacles, the cards of a heart held back, like the Four of Pentacles and the Hermit, and four cards to read slowly, the Devil and the Seven of Swords among them.
The spreads follow: What Does He Really Feel, the five card Mixed Signals spread, Heart and Head, and Your Heart and His, with worked examples. Part Four takes the situations women bring me in their own words: he's hot and cold, he says he's not ready, he pulled away after we got close, does he miss me, he came back and left again, is it love or habit.
By the last page you'll be able to look at his heart with steadier eyes, you'll know what to do when the answer is warm and moving, warm and stuck, or cool, and you'll have a four week practice for turning the same gentle attention toward what you feel, which matters as much as anything in his cards.
