Which tarot card represents other women in a love reading? Anyone wants to share their experiences with indicators in the spreads?

For me:

Queen of pents often comes up as a representive of an affair with someone else.
- all queens ill dignified/reversed can represent her.
- Side note: I never saw a queen of swords represent another (when upright).
- High Priestes RX, Empress ill dignified and/or Strength ill dignified (Devil, Lovers, 5 swords/7 swords in mix).

Also, 5 of wands as well as 7 of wands though not necessarily one woman, but that there are multiple people involved.

*i.e. one signifies happiness the other signifies break-up.

For you I have drawn Empress. She looks beautiful and she has black wavy hair. She's fully naked, but only one of her breasts is fully exposed. She's sitting on a rocky throne in the middle of a field, or forest. It's night time and the full moon is visible in the background shining bright. She's holding a wand with three moons on it. Two half moons and a full moon in the middle. Her crown is made of white wild flowers and there is a garland wrapped around her attempting to cover her naked body, but one of her breast remains fully exposed. There are blue wild flowers on the ground beside her. What I find weird about it is being there out at night time. Why is she out during the night and not day? It makes me feel like she's being hidden from the "light". Other than that, it looks to be positive overall. I worked for a Tarot reading company where I did many readings for others and had many repeated clients. Upon doing the readings a frequent show of Empress denoted that although the man found her attractive and loved her, he had another woman as well. Not saying the same for you, but just something I felt like bringing up so you could be aware of it .
Well, just by looking at the card he apparently finds you extremely attractive. However, she's out at night where things aren't very clear. Luckily the bright full moon is out so there is some clarity into the situation. He has deep and strong feelings for you, so he might be feeling a little intimidated by you - your beauty, your mysterious nature, etc. Well, I couldn't resist and peeked on the following two cards.

High Priestess and 3 of Cups..so definitely this combination of cards with the Empress..could denote that he's hiding someone, or something from you. He's very attracted to you, it seems his feelings are strong (2 Major Arcana cards) a lot of female energy - he thinks you're sensual, sexy, mysterious..but the two 3's are a bit of a problem and the mystery behind the Priestess + two night cards (Priestess is also a dark card and there are 2 candles lit on this one) and then the 3 of Cups we see 3 women out during the day time...two night cards + one day card = Two women Priestess+Empress are "hidden", and the 3 of Cups women are fully exposed since they are out during the day, so to me this could mean that there is someone else he's seeing, or is also attracted to. However, it might seem like his feelings for you are deeper, or stronger than the other one.

Hope this helps, have a nice day!

I definitely agree with the 3s, empress, especially High priestess, also the 6 of pents. Some work better in combinations, like High Priestess and 4 of wands, or lovers and 3 of cups, empress and 3 of cups, lovers and 6 of pents, the 6 of pents with the 3s.

Sometimes it depends on the deck as the images tend to vary so the meaning alters a bit.

For me to be more sure about it, I would want to see some combination with:

Lovers means there are also 3 people. This never means love, and the person most likely won't be choosing you when this one shows up.

Hi Thanks!
I think you posted somewhere/once about the why of this? Think it comes up that way, because the choice shown in the cards is that of 'the heavenly woman' (angel) and the mundane woman. So basicly 'two women' in there. For me it doesn't always show this way though. But I'll keep a close eye!!
Your example is really classic! True. Love it. Especially with the high priestess there also.

@Imeanj: thanks. Good link as well.
For the 3's: I agree, it can show up for it (especially 3 cups), but for me it's not a 'rule'. Threes also come up for things getting together, new creations, etc.
Had a reading yesterday with 3 3's there and it was all about taking business ventures to a higher level, mastering it and doing it with great passion (no other love life indicators).

If there is more than one Queen though, I take notes. Especially if there are minor arcanes of the 3-batch.
Queen of wands has once been indicative of the other woman in a past life reading for me.

Hi Yes, I always check first if the querent is not a queen of pentacles type herself, but if that's not the case and I see more cards in the mix like high priestess etc. I'm very careful.
Aah okay, queen of wands, passionate sex beast, lol.

Oh yes! Love this combinations.
6 pents doesn't show up like that for me. Inequality in give-take, yes, sometimes... But mostly both partners feel comfy with it, except if other 'negatives' show like queen cups reversed (too giving) and 5 pents, etc.

Remember you wrote that somewhere about queen of swords. But for me it feels like such a contradiction because she is all about honestly. She and ace of swords are the only two cards with a straight/upright sword (seeing truth clearly). Even the king if this element does not have this vision. His sword is leaning to the side (some personal beliefs in making desicions/speaking truth).

Kinda the reason you both stated. I often see 6 of pents as a sharing of time, to me this would be more of an affair than a one-night stand. Time after all is a resource and more valuable than money itself, and here it's being split between 2 people, one person holding most of the power/balance.

Okay, I can see why you could at it this way.

Thanks for all the experiences!

What do you guys think of Strength though? I'm very cautious when I see her in a love reading. Especially with the Empress.

I`ve always had the nicest experiences when STrength came up in a reading for me.

Because for me it can go either side. When it's empress and Strength for example. It would definitely indicate lust to me, because Strength is also a very sexual card. I like the Strength card, but I always (as always, but with a bit extra) look for indicators of lustful/adulterous indicators. If not empress, an queen that clearly doesn't depict the querent, etc.
But that's also why I am interested in other people's experience with this card. I personally feel there's more to it then just niceness (when upright).

I would look at the overall spread first and look what else was there, before taking the 3 in as an indicator of a third party/love triangle/indulging on threesomes... That's how I look at it though.

Empress I will definitely take in, in following love readings.

Re-reading your original post, I think the ill-dignified or Rx aspect is important. Thus, I am wondering how Death and Tower are involved then in these combinations or would come into play. Thoughts?[/B]

I bring up Death and Tower in regards to being ill-dignified - order dependent. Yes?
