Relationship Forecast

The Relationship Forecast is a five-card spread laid out as a cross. It looks less at feelings in general and more at development: what the relationship rests on, what is happening now, what influences it quietly and what the next stage looks like.

When to use this spread

  • When the relationship is on the verge of change: moving in, engagement, distance.
  • When you want to know whether the couple has a long-term future.
  • After a crisis — to see where to go next.

How to read the spread

The central card (current dynamic) is the heart of the spread. Compare it with the foundation: if they resonate, the relationship is stable; if not, the couple is being tested right now.

The hidden influence often explains why things are the way they are. It is worth talking about with your partner.
