How to Read
Shuffle the deck while focusing on your relationship. Draw 7 cards. Lay them out on three levels: thoughts (1, 2 at the top), feelings (3, 4 in the middle), actions (5, 6 at the bottom). Card 7 — in the center between 3 and 4. Read the spread horizontally by levels: first compare the partners' thoughts (1 and 2), then feelings (3 and 4), then actions (5 and 6). Card 7 is the key to the whole spread: it shows the essence of what is happening between you.
Tips & Advice
Compare cards in pairs at each level: if thoughts (1 and 2) are similar — you think alike. If feelings (3 and 4) harmonize — you are emotionally in tune. If actions (5 and 6) align — you are moving in the same direction. Card 7 is the most important: if positive, even with disagreements at other levels, the couple has a unifying force. If negative — there may be a hidden conflict dividing you.
