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.
Card Positions
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.
