How to Read

Shuffle the deck while focusing on the relationship. Draw 9 cards. Left column (1, 3, 5, 7) — your side: self-image, feelings, perception of partner, desires. Right column (2, 4, 6, 8) — partner's side. Card 9 at the top — final advice. Compare horizontal pairs from bottom to top: self-image (1–2), feelings (3–4), perception of each other's feelings (5–6), desires (7–8).

Tips & Advice

The key pair is cards 5 and 6: they show how accurately you perceive each other's feelings. Compare card 5 with card 4 (does your perception match reality?), and card 6 with card 3. Often, distorted perception of the partner's feelings is the source of conflicts. If desires (7 and 8) align — you share a common goal. Card 9 suggests a specific action.
