How to connect the positions
Reading sequence (read grouped roles together as explained below): 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 7 → 8 → 5 → 6
Reveal 1–4 first, then 7, 8 and 5, and finish with 6. Compare the effects on both people before the possible outcome. The practice uses the 56 Minor Arcana in this version.
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.
