 | The card at the top left represents how you see yourself. The Sun, when reversed: Poignance of dusk. Twilight shadows. Nostalgia. Haunting memories. |
 | The card at the top right represents how you see your partner. Queen of Cups, when reversed: A melodramatic scene stealer. A sentimental hypochondriac. A person prey to wild and shifting emotional fancies. |
 | The card in the center left represents how you feel about your partner. Ace of Staves: Creativity. Change. Success in new undertakings. "A breath of fresh air." "New blood." The sanguine temperament of the Ace promotes experiment, reform and appreciation of beauty, both of people and of nature. |
 | The card in the center right represents what stands between you and your partner. Two of Swords (Peace), when reversed: False friendship. Misunderstanding or duplicity, particularly between mentor and student. |
 | The card in the lower left represents how your partner sees you. The Magician: Mastery of words and of matter. Eloquence, including eloquent silence and Hermetic wisdom. Mediator, messenger, and communicator. The Magician may be a sage or just a quick talker. He is a master-manipulator of the material world, but the miracles he effects may be true physical and metaphysical transformation of mere illusion and technical tricks. With Hermes, one never knows; he is the god of orators and liars, merchants and thieves, trickery and arcane science. |
 | The card in the lower right represents what your partner feels about you. Five of Staves (Strife): A project or adventure abandoned or cut short because of the departure or disappearance of a necessary colleague, partner, friend or lieutenant. |
 | The card in the center represents the present status or challenge of the relationship. The Judgment: Resurrection and rebirth. Perfection of the body and soul. Final reward or punishment. |
