Fig.7 The Clouds Card in Relationships

The Clouds card in relationships brings an atmosphere of uncertainty, emotional tension, and inner confusion. It represents a temporary dimming of clarity: feelings exist, but nothing is clearly defined. Everything seems wrapped in fog – the horizon disappears, direction is lost, and familiar emotional landmarks no longer feel reliable.

When the Clouds appear between the Man and Woman cards, they signal a period of instability: closeness alternates with distance, warmth with coldness. Partners may care deeply for each other, yet something subtle interferes with trust – a sense of ambiguity, doubt, or emotional turbulence.

Often this isn’t triggered by external events but by one’s own inner state: a person may simply not understand what they want or where the relationship is heading. Clouds symbolize changeability. One day brings warmth and understanding; the next, tension and misunderstandings accumulate. Moods shift like the weather – from sunlight to storm. Such relationships resemble walking through dense mist: the partners continue forward, but cannot see what awaits them. Love is present, but its light keeps flickering – appearing through the clouds and disappearing again.

In practical terms, the Clouds card describes couples experiencing emotional pressure, miscommunication, or hidden fears. One partner may seek clarity – through words, actions, or commitment – while the other avoids the conversation, withdraws, or feels lost in their own emotions. This card can also indicate suspicion or jealousy, where even small events stir strong reactions. Thoughts begin to intrude:

«Why is he suddenly distant?» «Who keeps writing to her?» «Why does he avoid talking to me?»

Even without objective reasons, internal anxiety can create emotional distance. The Clouds often reflect relationship «mood swings»: today closeness and passion, tomorrow silence and coldness. This rhythm slowly drains energy and creates fatigue.

Yet relationships marked by the Clouds are rarely empty. Strong feelings often hide behind the turbulence. This is why people don’t walk away even when things get difficult – they hope for clarity, for the sky to open again. And it is crucial to remember: the influence of the Clouds card is always temporary. Just as real clouds cannot block the sun forever, this card does not point to an endless crisis. It simply shows that emotions are clouding perception right now. When the storm passes, the truth becomes visible – whether this was genuine love or an illusion shaped by fear. If the relationship endures this phase, it usually emerges stronger, clearer, and more honest.

The Clouds card tests the bond, bringing hidden issues to the surface, urging partners to speak openly, rebuild trust, and release old grievances. But if the foundation is already weak, the storm leaves behind only clear skies – without illusions or self-deception.

The Clouds are not an ending, but a trial. They remind us that darkness gathers not to destroy, but to purify. The true source of light is within – in honesty, sincerity, and the willingness to face reality. And when that inner light returns, the clouds disperse, revealing a relationship renewed, grounded, and ready to breathe again.
