Marriage, Happiness or Divorce?
“Does this last, and is it good?”
The 9-card layout
1. What this is built on
2. {A} feelings
3. {B} feelings
4. How {ab} fit together
5. The happiness available here
6. The problem nobody has named
7. What would pull it apart
8. Five to ten years out
9. The overall direction
This spread reads two people. Names are optional - they only change how the positions are labelled, and they stay in this browser tab.
Hold your question in mind, then shuffle.
Turning the deck is why cards come out reversed. A reversed card is not a bad card - it is the same card at a lower ebb, blocked, or on its way out.
Built upward like a house: the foundation at the bottom, the two of you and the bond above it, then happiness, hidden problems and risk, and the long view at the top.
What each position asks
These meanings belong to this spread. A card is read for the place it lands in, so the same card says something different in position 1 than it does in position 9.
