What the Science of Love Teaches the Cards

Sometimes, love feels unpredictable — as if it changes with the wind. Yet relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman discovered that love isn’t random at all. After observing couples for decades, he could predict with astonishing accuracy whether they would stay together — simply by listening to a few minutes of conversation.

What he found wasn’t about dramatic arguments or grand gestures. It was the small, everyday exchanges that mattered most. When partners faced stress or misunderstanding, did they respond with curiosity or criticism? Did they turn toward each other — or away?

Gottman identified what he called The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in relationships: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. When these patterns appear again and again, they slowly erode trust and affection. But when couples recognize them early, they can rebuild connection through empathy, listening, and appreciation.

In my Lenormand readings, these same emotional patterns often appear symbolically — the Tower can reflect distance, Clouds reveal confusion, and the Whip warns of repeated tension. The cards don’t just foretell what’s coming; they mirror the emotional climate between two people. When we see these symbols, we have a choice — to understand, to communicate, and to change the pattern before it hardens.

Love, after all, isn’t fate alone. It’s the practice of awareness — the willingness to turn back toward each other, again and again.
