Online Romance — Spread Diagram

Overview

Teresa Michelson's 'Online Romance' spread. A popular topic nowadays -- meeting people online, especially the question of whether to meet in person someone with whom an online relationship has already developed. This spread can be used for such cases.

Position 1: Their Impression of YouThe other person's impression of you after communicating online.
Position 2: Your ImpressionYour impression of the other person.
Position 3: Relationship DynamicsThe dynamics of your relationship online.
Position 4: What They Don't Know About YouWhat does he or she not know about you?
Position 5: What You Don't KnowWhat don't you know about him or her?
Position 6: CompatibilityThe degree of your compatibility, or -- what unites you?

Position 8: Impact of MeetingHow can a real meeting affect the relationship? The possible outcome of the meeting.
Position 9: General AdviceGeneral advice in this situation.

How to Read

Shuffle the deck while focusing on your online acquaintance. Draw 9 cards. At the bottom left place cards 1 and 2 (mutual impressions), on the right -- 4 and 5 (hidden from each other). Above left -- card 3 (dynamics), right -- card 6 (compatibility). Higher still -- cards 7 (should you meet?) and 8 (impact of meeting). At the top -- card 9 (general advice). Read from bottom to top: from current impressions through the hidden to the question of meeting and the final advice.

Tips & Advice

The spread is built as a triangle converging to the apex -- the general advice (card 9). The left side (1, 3, 7) -- your perspective, the right (5, 6, 8) -- the partner's perspective and compatibility. Cards 4 and 5 are especially important -- they show what each of you hides or doesn't know. If both are positive -- the surprises will be pleasant. Card 7 is key to deciding about meeting: a negative card here is a serious warning. Card 9 at the top sums up the entire situation.
