Hi everyone! Today we're continuing with short, fun spreads that were read with the Chibi Terato Tarot - this time, focusing on relationships. I read this one myself about an evolving relationship I'm in - check out what the cards have to say below:
First is a card representing [person 1], in this case me, represented here by the [8 of Swords]. Whatever difficulties I have in the realm of thoughts and action, I can usually solve with my own strength from within. I do sometimes restrict myself and my thoughts, especially when thinking of ideas for art and writing, and that is embodied in this card.
Second, on the right side, is [person 2], represented by [5 of Coins]. This person has had a history of feeling like they weren't enough - they worry (sometimes overly so), but ultimately overcome adversity. Maybe it's also colored with my knowledge of their sense of loss that he's gone through, as I'm acutely aware of that feeling in my own life. Having help definitely makes their problems easier to shoulder.
Third in the middle is the [connection between us], with all that entails, shown to be [Ace of Swords]. It's a strong intellectual connection, mentally stimulating in addition to the usual kind of bonds in a relationship. This also comes with an outer layer of rationality and directness, but it's not the kind of bond that invites 'games'. It is a truthful connection.
8 of Swords and 5 of Coins are both interesting, as they point to different kinds of personal difficulties (material and internal) that are eased by another perspective. Relationships are a partnership after all, and while no one lives without issues, a good partnership can ease the sorrows of all involved.
It's a basic spread, so it is a broad overview, but more cards could be used with more nuanced effect. This type of spread can be used for all kinds of relationships, romantic, platonic, or any other kind of connection.
