Relationship Spread

The Relationship spread is useful for getting guidance on a relationship - either between two people, between a person and an idea or institution, or between two ideas or institutions. Each of 12 cards/positions in the framework represent four aspects of the relationship: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual from both perspectives and in relationship with each other. When you pull cards, think about the qualities or paths of change of the card as it relates to the corresponding aspect of the relationship. If requesting guidance on a relationship between people, it is useful to keep their respective lifetime and annual growth cycles in mind while considering what qualities and paths emerge in the spread. Print the Guidance Worksheet for keeping notes while you pull cards for this spread. When you are finished, chart your guidance on your Tree of Life Map.
