There is no existing official Love and Deepspace tarot deck yet, so while I’m hoping and dreaming for that to happen, I thought about which tarot cards best represent each of our beloved love interests!
Why court cards?
Anime and game-themed tarot decks featuring specific characters often focus on associating characters with cards from the tarot’s major arcana (like The Fool, The Moon, Strength, etc.)
However, the tarot’s court cards (Pages, Knights, Queens, Kings) are often represent the people in our everyday lives – the characters in our stories. That makes them a lot of fun to play with when associating specific characters to the tarot!
So which court cards best represent the love interests from Love and Deepspace?
Xavier as the Knight of Cups
The Knight of Cups reflects Xavier’s tender sincerity and quiet restraint, capturing the emotional depth he feels but rarely expresses aloud.
Upright: Sensitive, gentle, romantic, and deeply empathetic, Xavier quietly expresses love through subtle gestures and dedicated service. His dreamy nature and genuine affection reveal a deep, heartfelt longing to connect.
Reversed: Secretive, emotionally withdrawn; often struggling to openly express inner feelings or share his true self with others. Xavier has a tendency to keep his heart hidden, creating emotional distance despite his sincerity.
Rafayel as the Page of Cups
The Page of Cups reflects Rafayel’s passionate, emotionally raw nature, highlighting his youthful intensity and lack of emotional restraint.
Upright: Romantic, imaginative, and emotionally expressive, Rafayel is full of wonder, sentiment, and artistic energy. He wears his heart on his sleeve and pursues love with sincerity and openness.
Reversed: Emotionally impulsive, hypersensitive, and prone to mood swings. Rafayel acts on what he feels in the moment, often without understanding or thinking through the consequences.
Zayne as the King of Swords
The King of Swords suits Zayne’s strong, dependable, disciplined, but emotionally reserved nature.
Upright: Intellectual, logical, authoritative, and disciplined, Zayne carries himself with a calm, commanding presence that prioritizes reason over emotion and order over impulse. He holds himself to high standards, often serving as a stabilizing force.
Reversed: Emotionally distant, overly analytical, and potentially cold or rigid. While not manipulative, Zayne can struggle to connect emotionally and may rely too heavily on logic to navigate intimate romantic relationships.
Sylus as the King of Wands
The King of Wands captures Sylus’s commanding, enigmatic aura and emotionally self-possessed nature.
Upright: Strategic, visionary, charismatic, and composed, Sylus leads with quiet confidence and unwavering control. He acts with intention and influences others through presence more than words. His passion is steady; channeled with precision and purpose.
Reversed: Emotionally aloof, guarded, or even manipulative in how he shares his feelings. He may assert control through intentional silence or careful emotional distancing, using detachment as a way to protect his authority and maintain the upper hand.
Caleb as the Knight of Wands
The Knight of Wands reflects Caleb’s intensity and fierce loyalty, while also revealing the volatility he must learn to temper.
Upright: Charismatic, bold, and passionate, Caleb charges ahead with confidence and desire. He is fiercely loyal and protective, driven by instinct, unwavering devotion, and a natural ability to lead through sheer force of presence.
Reversed: Possessive, reactive, and emotionally impulsive, Caleb’s intense attachment and protectiveness can become overwhelming. His fierce loyalty can cross into obsession, especially when his need for control overshadows his better judgment.
