 | The card in the lower left represents how your partner sees you. Six of Cups (Pleasure): Regret and nostalgia for a time past or a love lost. Disillusionment. |
 | The card in the lower right represents what your partner feels about you. Ten of Staves (Oppression), when reversed: Avoidance of pain and absence of pleasure. Obscurity and domesticity. |
 | The card in the center represents the present status or challenge of the relationship. 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. |
