I was asked by a client how she would know which lover to choose. I had to come up with something that would speak to this question so I developed the following spread.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(10)OVERALL HOPE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(5)Hopes~~(4)Lover One~(6)Fears-------(8)Hopes~(7)Lover Two~(9)Fears
~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)Hopes~~~~(1)Querant~~~(3)Fears~~~~~~
First card is the Querant.
Second card is their hopes as they pertain to the relationship.
Third card is their fears as they pertain to the relationship.
Fourth card is Lover one
Fifth card is their hopes as they pertain to the relationship.
Sixth card is their fears as they pertain to the relationship.
Sevent card is Lover two
Eigth card is their hopes as they pertain to the relationship.
Ninth card is their fears as they pertain to the relationship.
Tenth card is over all hopes and should clearly point to one or the other. Don't try to determine which pile is lover one and which is lover two until all cards are laid out. If the querent is with you (mine wasn't as this was an online reading), then you can ask them which lover is which pile after you describe the card that is the Lover in each three group.
I would love to hear from you on how you like this.
For a Polyamorous or Polyfidelous relationship, this spread would also work.
