A spread is the shape of your question. Simple questions need simple spreads; complex questions need positions that can hold more context. Love readings also begin with study: divide the question into positions before trying to interpret the answer.
Best for daily advice and a single clear focus. The fewer cards you draw, the more important it is to narrow the question.
Use this for flow. Past, present, and future can also be read as cause, current response, and next action.
The five-card flow places distant past, past, present, future, and distant future in one line. You can also read cards 1-2 as inner factors, 3-4 as outer factors, and 5 as the conclusion, or use 1-2 for the core of the issue and 3-5 for possible ways forward.
Love spreads separate your heart, the other person, and the relationship itself. Use them to clarify pace, boundaries, and what needs to be asked instead of declaring someone’s hidden feelings.
Reads outer expression, inner feeling, fear, desire, and next action. Useful for not translating kindness or silence too quickly into interest or disinterest.
Reads past feeling, current distance, the block, possible reconnection, and your action. It focuses on repeated patterns and conditions for dialogue.
Reads mood, readiness, risk, and the best approach. It helps you find one answerable sentence instead of a long confession.
Compare option A and option B through current energy, direction, and a central advice card. Stronger energy is not always the better choice, so write the cost and rollback plan too.
