Art of Love Tarot Review

70 Verified Cards Revealed 6 min read

4.9/5 - (11 votes)

The Art of Love Tarot by Denise Jarvie with artwork by Toni Carmine Salerno is a tender, colorful tarot deck for love, healing, and emotional clarity. The box art says a lot before you even shuffle: a luminous tree, butterflies, deep burgundy, and a feeling of growth after heartbreak.

This TarotFans gallery currently includes 70 verified card fronts. Because the recovered source is partial, this review keeps the count honest and does not pretend the missing eight images are available.

Quick take: who this deck is best for

Choose this deck if you want tarot to feel warm, romantic, symbolic, and emotionally direct. It is not a cold study deck; it is a heart-centered deck for people who like bright art and reflective relationship questions.

The Magician: choosing love as a practice

The Magician opens the recovered majors with active choice. In this deck, manifestation feels less like control and more like gathering your inner light before you speak or act.

Use this card for questions about attraction, confidence, and the moment when an intention has to become a real behavior.

Artwork and first impression

The art is rich, layered, and emotional. Many cards use glowing color, nature symbols, winged figures, hearts, and soft movement. That makes the deck easy to approach for intuitive reading, even when the renamed cards ask you to slow down and learn the system.

The overall mood is healing rather than harsh. It can still show difficult patterns, but it tends to ask: what would help this heart grow?

How Art of Love Tarot reads

Art of Love Tarot works best when you let the card title, color, and emotional atmosphere speak together. A one-card pull can be enough if you ask a focused question: what needs tenderness, what needs honesty, or what wants to grow?

For relationship readings, avoid using it only for yes-or-no predictions. It is much better at revealing needs, fears, patterns, boundaries, and the next healing step.

The Turnaround: seeing love from a new angle

The Turnaround has the energy of surrender and reframing. It is a useful card when a situation cannot be solved by pushing harder.

In a love reading, it can ask what changes when you stop defending the old story and look at the pattern from another side.

Gallery notes and missing cards

The gallery is arranged as recovered majors first, then the deck’s suits: Stars, Trees, Hearts, and Angels. The public filenames and labels have been kept clean and card-focused for easier browsing.

The missing cards are not filled with lookalikes. That matters because Art of Love Tarot has a very specific illustration style, and wrong-deck padding would make the gallery less trustworthy.

The Stars cards feel like inner light: a beginning, a stabilizing point, a test of courage, and mature creative confidence.

Using this deck for love and healing readings

For love readings, ask about care, timing, reciprocity, boundaries, and what each person is learning. For self-love readings, the deck can be even stronger: it turns emotional questions into practical reflection without making the answer feel cold.

A simple three-card spread works well: what my heart wants, what my heart fears, and what will help my heart grow next.

The Moon: feeling what is not yet clear

The Moon fits this deck beautifully because love often includes imagination, uncertainty, and old emotional echoes.

When this card appears, pause before assuming the feeling is fact. Let the image show where intuition is useful and where fear might be coloring the scene.

Pros and cons

Pros Cons
Warm, colorful art with a strong love-and-healing identity. The TarotFans recovered gallery is partial at 70/78 verified images.
Excellent for relationship spreads, journaling, and emotional check-ins. Readers who want strict Rider-Waite-Smith naming may need time with the renamed cards.
The suits give the deck a distinctive voice: Stars, Trees, Hearts, and Angels. Some cards read more intuitively than literally, which may not suit every beginner.

TarotFans golden rule

If a love reading makes you calmer, clearer, and more honest with yourself, it has done something useful. Art of Love Tarot is strongest when it helps you choose care without losing your boundaries.

Final thoughts on Art of Love Tarot

The Art of Love Tarot is a beautiful choice for readers who want tarot to feel emotional, colorful, and healing. It is especially good when the question is not simply “will they?” but “what is this teaching my heart?”

Use the 70-card gallery as your visual test. If the tree, butterflies, vivid suits, and heart-centered card names pull you in, this deck is likely to feel at home on your reading table.
