The Relationship Spread
(from Power Tarot)

(from Power Tarot)
- Five of Wands: You're competing with one or even several others who covet the same person who interests you. If you're committed, your significant other may be having an affair. You feel your work or that of your lover competes for the time you would rather spend with each other. [The work part is spot on, Adam is always working, and I've commented that his work is his "wife", and I'm his "mistress".]
- Eight of Pentacles: Pay attention to the small considerations which enhance a relationship. In an ongoing relationship, new experiences open up that deepen your bond with your partner.
- Ace of Swords: Emotional extremes are indicated. A sudden romance or an intense sexual encounter may take you by surprise. Or a previously warm relationship may suddenly turn cold. You're ready to cut the ties that bind if you feel your freedom threatened. [I do want passion in all my relationships -- it's the most important thing for me.]
- Four of Cups: Dissatisfaction, disillusion, or hurt feelings spell trouble in an ongoing relationship. Take time to focus specifically on what's bothering you and try to talk about it with your significant other.
- The Star: Promising encounters loom on the horizon, someone special sails into your life, synchronicities run rampant. You provide or receive guidance about a relationship. You and your significant other renew your commitment to the relationship. What you thought was impossible now becomes possible.
- The World: You'll find what you were looking for in a romantic partnership. You may realize you've had it all the time. Travel proves beneficial to an existing relationship or brings someone new and exciting into your life.
- Ten of Swords: Someone you love has hurt you very badly and you're having trouble putting it behind you. You've made a mistake, taken a chance on love and lost. There's no choice now but to abandon the relationship and start over. The sooner you accept the fact that it's over, the easier it will be to get on with your life.
- Page of Wands: A phone call or e-mail you've been hoping for arrives. A new relationship sails into your life and it's just the kind of partnership you've been hoping for -- fun, exciting, fulfilling. You and your significant other share common interests in books and theater, spiritual topics, and may even work together.
- Seven of Pentacles: You review and reevaluate your close personal relationships. The process itself is just as important as the conclusions you reach.
