A question to try
What can I examine about the present relationship, two perspectives, its history and hopes?
Before you draw
- Write one open question and define its scope. Keep factual questions separate from symbolic reflection.
- Choose the position order and decide whether to include reversals before drawing.
- Read each card in its role, then compare the positions. Note uncertainty and one practical next question.

How to connect the positions
Reading sequence (read grouped roles together as explained below): 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6
Read the numbered positions in order, then compare related roles rather than treating each card as an isolated prediction. Write one practical question or action suggested by the comparison.
What to watch for
Positions about another person represent questions to discuss, not access to their private thoughts. A spread cannot establish consent, loyalty or whether someone will return; respect communication and boundaries.
