You’ve been wondering if he’s gay. Maybe you’ve noticed certain signs, certain mannerisms, certain tastes in style or entertainment that make you think he might swing more toward the rainbow than you realized. But you don’t want to assume or jump to conclusions. You want real insight. That’s where tarot cards can help.
Major Arcana Cards
Here are a few of the major arcana ones that can relate to sexuality, specifically being attracted to people of the same gender.
The Lovers
If The Lovers card shows up in a reading about his sexuality, that can point to him being gay. This card represents partnerships and relationships, so if it suggests a same-sex attraction or relationship, it may indicate he’s homosexual.
The Hierophant
The Hierophant reversed can also signify he’s gay. Typically, this card represents tradition and convention. Reversed, it can mean he rejects conventional relationships or partnerships in favor of something unconventional – like a same-sex relationship.
The Emperor
The Emperor represents authority and control. When it appears in a reading about his sexuality, it may mean he feels empowered by embracing his homosexuality. He’s confident in who he is.
The Moon
The Moon often signifies illusions and uncertainty. If this card turns up, it could mean he’s still unsure or confused about his sexuality. He may be grappling with his attraction to other men but isn’t ready to fully accept himself as gay.
The Wheel of Fortune (Reversed)
The Wheel of Fortune reversed can indicate bad luck or misfortune regarding his sexuality or relationships. This may suggest he’s had negative experiences with dating or coming out in the past that make him hesitant to embrace his homosexuality now. But with self-acceptance and courage, his luck can change.
Minor Arcana Cards
Is he gay or just daydreaming about other men sometimes? These minor arcana cards provide some interesting insights into that kind of thing.
The Two of Cups
The Two of Cups signifies a deep emotional and spiritual connection between two people. When it appears in a spread asking about someone’s sexuality or romantic interests, it can point to a same-sex relationship. The energy of the Two of Cups is all about finding your “other half” or soulmate, so if you’re asking about a man’s interests, it may indicate he feels that profound connection with another man.
The Three of Cups
The Three of Cups often represents friendship, community, and bonding. But it can also signify celebration – perhaps of an unconventional relationship or identity. If this card shows up when asking about someone’s sexuality, it may be a subtle nod to the fact that they feel free to openly celebrate who they are – and who they love. For a man, the Three of Cups in this context could indicate he embraces his attraction to other men.
The Sun
The Sun is one of the most positive cards in the Tarot, representing joy, warmth, and vitality. When asking about love and relationships, the Sun can indicate fulfillment, contentment, and embracing one’s true self without shame or secrecy.
If you’re wondering about a man’s sexuality, the Sun may be a sign that he feels free and uninhibited in expressing his interest in other men. He radiates positivity and confidence in who he is.
Additional Tips
- If a lot of more feminine cards came up in your tarot reading, such as the moon or empress cards, that could mean there’s some feminine energy or qualities coming through for a man.
- If you get any tarot cards that have the number two on them, like two of pentacles, two of swords, or two of cups, it could mean the person is attracted to someone of the same sex. The twos in the tarot sometimes represent partnerships of people who are alike, so it could indicate being interested in somebody similar to them in gender.
Final Thoughts
Before you make any assumptions, listen to that gut feeling of yours. It could be that the man you’re wondering about is just more sensitive or emotional than stereotypical masculinity allows for. We all have different levels of what some call masculine and feminine traits.
But who knows, a tarot card reading could provide some insight. I’ve done a few readings before that correctly picked up on someone in the closet struggling with their sexuality. Nothing is set in stone, of course, but it’s an option to get a different perspective.
