Before The Reading
At 28, I wanted a real partnership, not another almost. Apps felt like a part-time job. I would match, feel a spark, and then watch it fade by week three. I kept asking for a “sign” that my soulmate was close, but the signs were confusing, and I was tired of reading tea leaves in text threads.
I booked a 30-minute Purple Garden astrology and tarot reading because I wanted clarity I could use. How do I tell compatibility early? How do I pace things so I do not overgive? And how do I know I am moving toward the right person, not another loop that looks exciting and then disappears?
During The Reading
We started with my birth chart. The reader walked me through love themes in my Venus and seventh-house placements and the timing I am moving through now. The reframe landed first: “Soulmate does not mean a perfect person. It means a partner who aligns with your values, your pace, and your current season.” That alone took the pressure down.
Then she pulled a focused tarot spread:
- Readiness: Strength upright, which she called my reminder to date from calm self-respect rather than urgency.
- Green Flags: King of Pentacles and Two of Cups, pointing to reliability, follow-through, and mutual effort.
- Dead-Ends: Knight of Wands reversed, my pattern of mistaking fast intensity for long-term fit.
- Pacing: Temperance, an invitation to keep things steady and let consistency do the talking.
- Next 30 Days: Page of Pentacles, small, thoughtful steps instead of grand gestures.
We built simple tools I could actually use:
- Values Top Five: I ranked kindness, accountability, shared life goals, healthy pacing, and curiosity.
- Three-Date Filter: No exclusivity talks before date three. Notice actions and recovery after small misunderstandings.
- Even Energy Rule: Match the other person’s investment instead of leading it.
- Texting Boundaries: Same-day replies are fine, but no marathon chats. Save discovery for in-person time.
- Bio Refresh: Add one clear line to signal pace and values. I wrote, “Into slow-burn compatibility, Sunday markets, and people who follow through.”
She closed with a micro-ritual for focus: once a week, ask, “What kind of partner am I being and calling in? ” Then, journal for ten minutes on green-flag moments I actually saw rather than imagined.
After The Reading
I refreshed my profile to reflect pace and values, then set a 15-minute daily window for swiping so dating did not eat my evenings. I scheduled two weekday coffee dates instead of long dinners. I used the Three-Date Filter: watch for reliability, small repairs after misunderstandings, and whether plans match words. After two dates, I ended one connection kindly because the pace felt rushed.
I kept seeing someone who communicated clearly and followed through on plans without me prompting. At day 14, I booked a 10-minute follow-up on Purple Garden. We reviewed my notes, tightened my green-flags list, and added one line to my checklist: “Can we talk about expectations calmly and land a plan we both keep?”
Check-In at 6 Weeks
The knot in my stomach is quieter. I am not future-casting on date two. I mirror effort instead of leading it, keep dates around 60 to 90 minutes, and save long conversations for in-person. The person I kept seeing has steady momentum. They confirm plans and check in the next day, and when we had a slight mix-up about timing, they owned it and offered a fix.
It feels simple in a good way. I do not have a ring or a promise. What I do have is a repeatable way to choose well, and a connection that meets my top values. When chemistry spikes, I still ask my weekly question: “What kind of partner am I being and calling in?” If something starts to drift, I know how to step out early with kindness. The reading did not hand me a name. It gave me a map.
