Can I do this spread alone or do both partners need to be present?

You can absolutely do this spread alone. The cards reveal your perspective and the energetic dynamics at play. However, doing the reading together can create deeper dialogue and mutual understanding. One partner can do the spread, reflect on insights, and share findings with their partner later.

What questions work best for relationship readings?

Open-ended questions work best: "What do I need to understand about this relationship?" "Where is this relationship heading?" "What are we not seeing?" "How can we grow together?" Avoid yes/no questions and instead focus on understanding dynamics and gaining insight.

What does the "hidden factor" position reveal?

The hidden factor card reveals something affecting your relationship that you may not be consciously aware of. This could be unspoken feelings, past wounds influencing behavior, external influences, or subconscious patterns. It brings light to what is operating beneath the surface.

Can this spread predict if a relationship will last?

Tarot shows potential and current energies, not fixed fate. The "potential" card shows what the relationship could become if you work with the guidance given. Relationships are co-created by both people - the cards illuminate the path, but you walk it together.

What if I get challenging cards in a relationship spread?

Challenging cards are opportunities for growth and honest reflection. The Tower might indicate needed change. The Five of Cups might reveal unprocessed grief. Approach difficult cards as insight into what needs attention, not as doom for your relationship.

Is this spread only for romantic relationships?

No! This spread works for any significant relationship - romantic partners, family members, close friends, or business partnerships. The positions adapt to reveal the dynamics of any two-person relationship that matters to you.

How often should I do a relationship reading?

For ongoing relationships, quarterly readings can track growth and evolution. Do a reading when you feel disconnected, face a crossroads, or want to deepen understanding. Avoid reading obsessively about the same relationship - give time for insights to integrate.

What is the difference between this and a love spread?

A basic 3-card love spread shows you, them, and the connection. This 7-card deep dive adds foundation, current dynamic, challenge, hidden factor, and potential. It provides significantly more depth and nuance for understanding complex relationship dynamics.

Can I ask about someone I am not yet in a relationship with?

Yes, you can explore the potential energy between you and someone you are interested in. The cards will reveal how you each might show up, any foundations for connection, and what could develop. Just remember the other person has free will too.
