Hey there!
Jealousy is a pretty intense emotion, and there are a few cards in the tarot deck that can indicate it. Here are some you might want to look out for:

Five of Swords: This card often represents conflict, betrayal, and unhealthy competition, which can stem from jealousy.
Seven of Swords: Known for deception and trickery, this card can indicate someone acting out of jealousy or trying to undermine others.
The Devil: This card symbolizes negative attachments and emotions, including jealousy, obsession, and envy.
The Five of Wands: This card frequently suggests rivalry and competition, which can lead to conflict.
Three of Swords: While it primarily represents heartbreak and betrayal, it can also indicate jealousy, causing emotional pain.
Queen of Wands (Reversed): In its reversed position, this card can signify jealousy, manipulation, and insecurity.

Remember, the context of the spread and the surrounding cards play a big role in interpreting these meanings. Keep practicing, and you'll get a feel for how these energies show up in your readings.
Happy learning! 🌟

Thanks! Great answer! I can definitely add a little more depth to this.

Along with the cards you mentioned, The Moon can also indicate jealousy, especially when it’s paired with cards suggesting deception or hidden motives. The Moon tends to highlight fears, illusions, and emotions simmering under the surface, including unacknowledged feelings of envy or insecurity.
Another card to watch for is the Page of Swords (Reversed). This one often represents gossip, spying, or someone acting out of jealousy—maybe through petty actions or spreading rumors. When reversed, it usually signals an immature approach to handling emotions like envy.
Don’t overlook The Tower. Although it usually means quick or major upheaval, it can also mean that jealousy has been building up for a while, which can lead to explosive situations or big changes in a relationship.

While the situation is important, these cards can definitely imply jealousy when they appear with themes of rivalry, fear, or an imbalance of emotions. Trust your gut—tarot cards can give you more information as you read them.

When it comes to spotting jealousy in Tarot, there are a few cards that tend to give off those vibes. The Five of Swords is a big one—it often points to conflict and tension, which can definitely come from jealousy. The Seven of Swords can also hint at sneaky behavior or envy, like someone trying to get away with something out of jealousy. The Devil is another card to keep an eye on, as it can symbolize unhealthy attachments, obsession, or toxic emotions like envy.
