Relationship Tarot Spread
Five cards on the space between two people.
The five-card relationship spread maps the dynamics between two people — not to judge either of them, but to make the invisible visible. It looks at each person's stance, the shared ground, the friction, and where the connection tends to lean. Useful for romances, friendships, family ties, and working partnerships alike.

Questions, answered
How does the relationship tarot spread work?
You focus on your question while 5 card(s) are drawn, each landing in a named position. The positions give each card its context — the same card means different things in different seats.
Do I need to know tarot to use this spread?
No. Selene interprets every card in its position and weaves them into one reading written around your question. The position guide below is for the curious.
Is a bigger spread always better?
Not necessarily. Small spreads answer focused questions cleanly; large spreads like the Celtic Cross suit complex situations with history and competing factors. Match the spread to the question's size.
