Best Tarot Cards for Reconciliation

The glow-up after the fallout starts here

By Tarot.com Staff

Let’s be real: relationships are where we learn the hardest -- and most transformative -- lessons. They lift us, wreck us, stretch us, and teach us what we’re really made of. When things go wrong, it can feel like your whole emotional playlist is stuck on repeat: heartbreak, blame, loneliness, rinse, repeat.

But here’s the thing: you’re not powerless. The cards don’t fix relationships, but they can help you name what’s going on, sort through the mess, and figure out what’s worth saving (and what’s not).

If reconciliation is on your radar, these are the cards to watch for. They don’t whisper. They get to the point.

Justice

The Meaning of Justice

This card is serving accountability, not apology. Justice shows up when something needs balancing, stat. Maybe the scales tipped too far one way. Maybe you weren’t being totally honest with yourself … or someone else was holding something back. Either way, this card asks: can you own your part without dodging theirs? It’s not about blame -- it’s about clarity. If you can’t see eye to eye, a neutral third party might help, but the truth has to start with you.

The Hanged Man

The Meaning of The Hanged Man

You’re stuck. And spoiler: the other person might not be the problem. When The Hanged Man hits the table, it’s your cue to pause and check your patterns. What story are you still telling yourself that’s keeping you here? This isn’t a trap -- it’s a mirror. Flip your perspective. Step back. Let go of needing control or closure right now. Sometimes the most radical move is doing nothing until the right thing shifts.

Temperance

The Meaning of Temperance

This card is all about emotional chemistry. Two different lives, two different ways of reacting, and somehow … you’re supposed to meet in the middle? Temperance reminds you not to go to extremes. Don’t ghost them, and don’t blow up their phone. Let it breathe. Let the space between you be a place of curiosity, not control. Reconciliation isn’t a race -- it’s a rhythm. Find yours.

The Tower

The Meaning of The Tower

Whew! This one’s dramatic -- but sometimes, so is the truth. If The Tower shows up, it means something in this relationship had to collapse. Maybe it was built on false promises. Maybe it just came at the wrong time. Either way, this isn’t about rebuilding the old thing. It’s about clearing the wreckage and asking: what would we need to start from scratch -- with honesty this time? If both of you have evolved since the fallout, there might still be something here. But only if you’re both brand new.

Judgment

The Meaning of Judgement

Time to do the post-mortem. Judgement wants you to look back -- not to spiral, but to learn. What actually happened here? What part did you play? No shame, just truth. This is the “wake-up call” card. It says, yes, something ended, but there might still be a pulse. If you want a different outcome, show up differently. Real change is possible -- but only if you’re ready to drop the old script.

Two of Cups

The Meaning of the Two of Cups

This one’s about mutual energy. Equal give and take. If you’re doing all the reaching out, all the apologizing, or all the emotional labor, pause. The Two of Cups says: reconciliation is a two-way street. If you want things to work, the other person has to work with you. That means mutual respect, mutual effort, and mutual desire to do better. Anything less? Not worth it.

Six of Cups

The Meaning of the Six of Cups

Cue the nostalgia filter. When the Six of Cups shows up, the past is calling -- but don’t rush to pick up! Are you missing the actual person … or just who you used to be around them? This card brings exes back (emotionally or literally), but it also warns: memory is selective. Sweet moments don’t erase real wounds. If this person shows up again, check in with who you are now, not just who you were back then.

Page of Cups

The Meaning of the Page of Cups

This is your emotional refresh card. When the Page of Cups pops up, it means you’re showing up differently now -- so maybe the story gets to change. You’re not who you were when the fallout happened. Your heart’s grown. Your empathy’s sharper. Your communication game is stronger. So if you’re thinking about reaching out, do it from this version of you. Not from guilt. Not from nostalgia. From truth.
