Who Actually Has My Back?

A 4-card spread for when you're not sure who in your life is real — and who's just... there. This spread helps you see who's worth your energy and who you can stop performing for.

Friendship & Social Energy Tarot Spreads

Friendship tarot spreads are structured tarot layouts designed to explore trust, social energy, people-pleasing, friendship breakups, and the difference between real support and performative friendship. These spreads help you see who's worth your energy and who you can stop performing for.

Why You're Here

You're probably here because of someone. Not a lover — a friend. Or maybe a whole group. You've been burned, drained, or quietly wondering who's actually real. Friendship tarot exists for the moments when your social life stops making sense — when hanging out feels like work, when trust gets shaky, or when you realize you've been giving energy to people who never give it back. These spreads help you see who's real, who's not, and what to do about it.
