KATTDO Track by Track Tarot Reading
For fun only, no fact and questionable skill.
Cards: Three of Wands / The Sun Reversed / The Empress
These cards match the tone of the song surprisingly well. Three of Wands is about perspective and looking outward toward the future. The Sun reversed introduces a more reflective tone, suggesting someone reassessing what happiness actually means after success or visibility. The Empress brings creative rebirth and emotional warmth. Together the spread reads like the opening of a new chapter, where the lens opens and the light comes in. The repeated line āaperture lets the light inā fits this perfectly. It feels like the album beginning with someone recognising that connection and love are ultimately the only things that matter.
Cards: Queen of Swords (Reversed) / Knight of Cups (Reversed) / Seven of Swords (Reversed)
This spread feels more complicated than the surface-level reading of the song. Queen of Swords reversed suggests emotional defensiveness or someone protecting themselves after being hurt. Knight of Cups reversed points to romantic ideals clashing with reality. Seven of Swords reversed often appears when the truth about a situation becomes impossible to ignore. Together the cards read like someone realising that the romantic stories people tell themselves about love do not always match the reality.
Follow-up: Is āAmerican Girlsā really about seeing friends get married?
Cards: Five of Wands / Nine of Swords (Reversed) / Two of Wands
Five of Wands reflects social pressure and comparison, so yes, the feeling of everyone around you moving in different directions. But Nine of Swords reversed also suggests trying to move past anxiety about falling behind. Two of Wands shifts the focus toward life direction and choice. So rather than simply wishing for what others have, the song feels like someone asking whether they actually want the same path everyone else seems to want.
Cards: The Fool (Reversed) / Knight of Swords (Reversed) / Nine of Wands
This spread feels chaotic and urgent, which matches the energy of the song. The Fool reversed suggests hesitation before a leap or jumping into something without fully trusting the ground beneath you. Knight of Swords reversed adds speed, impulsiveness, and emotional chaos. Nine of Wands shows endurance and the determination to keep going despite exhaustion. The overall feeling is of someone throwing themselves into motion or distraction while still carrying the weight of what came before.
4. Are You Listening Yet?
Cards: Page of Pentacles (Reversed) / Ten of Swords / The Lovers (Reversed)
Page of Pentacles reversed almost mirrors the title. This card often appears when someone realises they ignored lessons, overlooked warning signs, or stayed in a situation longer than they should have. Ten of Swords represents the breaking point, the moment when something finally collapses after tension has been building for a long time. The Lovers reversed suggests a relationship where the people involved ultimately want different things. Harry said this song was written early in the process while he was still on tour, which fits the tone of the cards. It reads like someone recognising their own part in a situation that finally reached its end and has the tone of frustration the song has.
Cards: Six of Wands / Eight of Swords / Temperance (Reversed)
This spread feels like a connection that appears confident on the surface but is emotionally complicated underneath. Six of Wands suggests familiarity and someone reaching out with confidence. Eight of Swords introduces emotional restriction and distance. The two people are no longer in the same place in life. Temperance reversed suggests imbalance and unresolved tension. The connection still exists, but it no longer blends naturally the way it once did.
Follow-up: Who called him from Paris in āTaste Backā and why?
Cards: Nine of Pentacles / Three of Pentacles (Reversed) / Two of Wands / Temperance
This spread suggests someone independent and living their own life. Nine of Pentacles reflects self-sufficiency and distance. Three of Pentacles reversed suggests a connection that once existed but stopped working. Two of Wands reinforces physical and emotional distance, which fits the lyric about being in Paris and living separate lives. Temperance suggests a brief attempt to rebalance the connection. The call feels more like revisiting the past than restarting the relationship.
Follow-up: What were they thinking when they called?
Cards: Nine of Swords (Reversed) / Five of Pentacles / King of Wands
Nine of Swords reversed suggests finally acting after a lot of overthinking. Five of Pentacles shows loneliness or feeling shut out. King of Wands adds pride and confidence, suggesting the caller tried to sound casual even though the motivation came from vulnerability.
Cards: The Fool (Reversed) / Two of Wands / The Hierophant (Reversed)
The Fool reversed represents hesitation or avoidance. Two of Wands introduces distance and the sense of two people standing on different paths. My deck has someone looking at a phone, watching each other from afar. The Hierophant reversed points to rejecting commitment or the expected structure of a relationship. Read alongside the lyrics, the spread feels like frustration with someone who continually avoids making a real choice. When Harry spoke about this song he spoke about himself but these cards are also judging a past lover.
Follow-up: Is āThe Waiting Gameā about Harry or someone else?
Cards: The Lovers / Ace of Swords / Seven of Pentacles
The Lovers suggests a meaningful emotional connection. Ace of Swords indicates speaking honestly about what happened. Seven of Pentacles reflects time invested and the experience of waiting to see what something will grow into. The cards suggest someone finally acknowledging that the time spent waiting ultimately āadded up to nothing.ā
Cards: Five of Wands / Two of Pentacles (Reversed) / Nine of Pentacles
This spread matches the song well: chaos, imbalance, and independence. Five of Wands suggests conflict and outside pressure. Two of Pentacles reversed shows the moment where juggling everything stops working. That fits the lyric āyouāve got to sit yourself down sometimes.ā Nine of Pentacles ends the sequence with autonomy and stepping away.
Follow-up: Who is it about?
Cards: Death (Reversed) / Queen of Swords / The Tower (Reversed)
Death reversed suggests an emotional chapter that lingered longer than it should have. Queen of Swords reflects clarity that comes after painful experience. Tower reversed suggests a dramatic situation whose fallout lasted longer than expected. The cards read less like blame and more like Harry recognising the moment he had to pause, regroup, and change.
Cards: Nine of Wands / King of Cups (Reversed) / King of Wands (Reversed)
Nine of Wands represents emotional endurance. King of Cups reversed suggests feelings that are real but difficult to express clearly. King of Wands reversed reflects someone whose confidence or direction is temporarily unstable. The spread fits the lyrics well: someone trying to make something work while realising the emotional alignment might not actually be there.
Follow-up: Was it a short relationship?
Cards: Page of Cups / Page of Pentacles (Reversed) / The Sun / Knight of Cups (Reversed)
Page of Cups suggests a sweet emotional beginning. Page of Pentacles reversed suggests the connection never fully developed. The Sun shows genuine warmth while it lasted. Knight of Cups reversed suggests the romantic momentum faded before it could deepen into something lasting.
Cards: Seven of Pentacles (Reversed) / Temperance / Five of Cups
Seven of Pentacles reversed suggests questioning whether something was worth the investment. Temperance reflects trying to rebalance life after that realisation. Five of Cups introduces regret and sadness about what was lost. The song reads like someone acknowledging that a situation did not deliver what they expected. He did get in over his head or move too fast and it ruined something.
Cards: Queen of Swords (Reversed) / The Devil / Queen of Cups
The Devil represents temptation and cycles that are hard to step away from, which fits the lyrics about the music taking control and the urge to keep going. Queen of Swords reversed suggests blurred judgement or being caught up in the moment. Queen of Cups introduces emotional awareness. This one feels very literal: the pull of music and nightlife until the moment when you realise you simply cannot keep dancing anymore.
Cards: Eight of Wands / Judgement / Knight of Pentacles
Eight of Wands suggests narratives moving quickly and people forming opinions fast. Judgement is the key card here, representing self-evaluation and seeing the past clearly after the noise settles. Knight of Pentacles suggests choosing a slower, more deliberate path forward. The song reads like someone stepping back from the image people created of them and deciding to live more deliberately.
Follow-up: Is it about Olivia, why 33, and who are the kids?
Cards: Three of Swords / Page of Wands (Reversed) / The Tower
Three of Swords reflects heartbreak and emotional fallout. Page of Wands reversed suggests a situation that became messy, immature, or publicly chaotic. The Tower represents the collapse of the narrative as people understood it. The cards suggest the moment when the story surrounding a relationship completely fell apart.
Cards: The Empress / Knight of Pentacles / Queen of Pentacles
This is one of the warmest spreads in the album. The Empress represents creativity and emotional abundance. Knight of Pentacles adds steadiness and devotion. Queen of Pentacles reinforces comfort and stability. This feels like the album arriving somewhere with a satisfaction that music is something he sees as lasting.
