Romance, Love Or Relationships:
You may decide that a long-term relationship is going to end. If you are sure about this, don’t wait for the right time, as there will never be a good time to tell someone that the relationship needs to be over. Don’t jump headlong into a new relationship; give yourself some time and space to be on your own, first.

Complete Book of Tarot: In addition to nonstandard tarots, there are many sets of cards devoted to fortune-telling and divination that do not claim to be variations of tarot. These include ‘oracle decks’ such as angel cards, goddess guidance decks, rune cards, I Ching cards, and so on. Oracle decks, sometimes called wisdom decks, vary in the number of cards they contain.

Finally, Pentacles, being cold and earthen, are the slowest of all. To summarize:
