POSITION FOUR: How CAN YOU FIND PEACE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP?

This position is the first of several that address specific facets of the querent's relationship. This one is about peace, while cards 5, 6, and 9 are about playfulness, passion, and delight (respectively). Each of these aspects is important to the health and welfare of a relationship, and the card that comes up in each position can help the querent manifest or nurture that aspect, warn her of obstacles that may be blocking it, or suggest that it may be very hard to find that quality in her relationship. However, even if one of these cards seems problematic, I try not to give up easily on the indicated quality, since each card can give some sort of advice and encouragement.

POSITION FIVE: WHERE CAN YOU FIND PLAYFULNESS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP?

Playfulness is another important part of a relationship, and position five tries to help the querent find it. Of the four characteristics of a relationship that this spread deals with (peace, playfulness, passion, and delight), playfulness may seem the least important. However, we should not skim over card 5, making the erroneous assumption that its message is relatively insignificant. Without a sense of play, a relationship can quickly become staid, boring, and routine. Playfulness is as important as passion in keeping a relationship vibrantly alive, and the card in this position can help the querent discover (or rediscover) this valuable characteristic.

POSITION SIX: How CAN YOU IGNITE THE ARDOR AND PASSION IN THIS RELATIONSHIP?

Passion in a relationship is like the hearth in a premodern home. The embers can fade to a dull glow without endangering those who live in the house, but if the hearth goes completely cold, soon life in the home will too. Of course, a loss of passion is not the problem in every troubled relationship, and when it is not, this card may instead show the querent how the passion in her relationship can help heal it. However, even when the passion has died down, rekindling the fire is not an insurmountable problem as long as there is a spark left, and card 6 can help the querent see how to do that.

What happens, though, if a card comes up here that seems to be anything but passionate? In Kate's reading, the Nine of Wands initially seemed to be more discouraging than helpful. However, this is an example of where a little contemplation about a card may lead to advice or wisdom that may help the querent. In this case, although the Nine of Wands warned that the querent's defensiveness might be turning her passion into a barrier, it also suggested how she might express her passion better.
