Hi all,
I have just joined and have been reading card for about 5 years or so. I was recently asked to do a relationship spread for someone and as I usually do if I cannot find a spread that will cover it, I wrote my own. Now this one may not be entirely original (i.e what the cards represent might not be an original thought so to speak), but I wrote it and it worked great. The only thing I was interested in is how to lay them out. There are only 7 cards so that sort of makes it harder.
Here are what the cards represent
Overview Of Where The Relationship Is Now
Where You Stand/What You Need
Where They Stand/What They Need
Obstacles In the Way Of The Relationship
Influences Which Can or Will Help The Relationship
Advice For You
Advice For Them
Potential Outcome
I was thinking about an arch shape (sorry I have not grasped the art of this yet so it probably looks weird) - could make it a circle also but as I said I am not very good at creating the shape as yet. It kind of looks like an umbrella to me.. anyway here is what I thought
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~2~~~~~~8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~4~~~~~~~~~~~6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you guys think? When I did the reading I didn't use any layout as such I only thought of this afterwards. Actually you could out the overview card at the top and then sort of match them up so that the What you need/Where you Stand card is opposite the Advice For You card and the What they need/where they stand card is opposite the Advice for them card..
So it would be more like
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2~~~~~6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~4~~~~~~~~~~~5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, suggestions?
