You ask a question, the first card if not a court and the last 2 are. Say it's about a relationship, which you'd hope would be 2 people, how can find out who the third is? 3 more card?

Oh, it's me as well. Sometimes, I have to be asked the same question over and over until I 'get it'. We make a great pair!
So, let me try.
We have that three-carder?
Two of Cups >>>> Queen of Wands >>>> Knight of Cups
The one thing that I do stick to with this kind of reading, when it comes to position 2 and 3, is that the gender is fixed. If a knight comes up, then it is a male. The same for a king. In many of the decks that I use [Hermetic, Renaissance, Voodoo], there is a balanced court - in other words, we have princesses rather than pages, so it gives a more equal view of the people that might pop in and out of your life.
But of course, in position 1, where you are described, both male and feminine characteristics, strong and weak, developed and undeveloped, might come into play. Whatever gender, that first card [if a court] is always you. But if a queen hits the second or third place, she will always be a woman and not a feminine aspect of a male. At least, that seems to be how Devorah Leigh plays it. And it helps me to have that structure. But you can adapt to suit your own criteria.
So, anyway. You share something with the queen. An emotional sharing. What I think you are getting at is to find out what it is that she holds [the card which sits behind her, as she faces you - the knight].
Firstly, I would see that he is a cup's card. He has some kind of emotional attachment to her. Maybe a lover. Maybe a brother. In combining their suits, we might be able to try and accertain what their pairing concerns. She may be able to boil up his emotional water and 'get him going', so to speak. Being fire, her passion may heat him up and arouse him. On the other hand, his water can put her fire out. He may very well have some kind of control over this woman - something she might not feel comfortable talking to you about. Whatever it is, we are aware, down to suit, that she already is under the spell of another emotional influence.
Of course, why not throw three cards and see of they can shed any more light. But personally, I would try to look at what I have in the read already. One of the great things about the Personal Prophecy readings is that they comprise about seven or so trios, so there might be other parts of the reading which highlight the questions that you are asking.
Hope that helps, Nancy. I am by no means any kind of expert with this method. But it is a lot of fun working with it here.
