Relationship
Five reflective positions for a relationship pattern, with attention to your observations, mutuality and communication.
How to use this spread
Name the relationship you want to reflect on and place the cards in order. The second position concerns what you can observe or ask about, not secret knowledge of another person’s thoughts. Use the final card to consider a respectful conversation or boundary, preserving everyone’s consent and autonomy.
