Relationship between 3 persons

Does anyone know a good spread to uncover the relationships between three persons? Like "Mom, Dad, Child" or "Wife, Mother-in-law-husband" or even "husband- lover-wife"?

Alex, I don't know of a specific spread but it's an area I've been working on - and haven't satisfactorily resolved yet.

This is what I've got so far:

**********[A]**********

*****[X]*********[Y]****

**********[@]**********

********[Z]********[C]


I wanted a triangular shape - to express the triadic relationship.

A, B, and C = card for each person, their wants/needs/hopes/fears
Person A being either the querent or the 3rd person; B and C are the 'couple'. The 'couple' doesn't necessarily mean 'the partners' but e.g. could be single-parent mother + [C]child - with [A] being the separated father.

X,Y,Z - shows the relationships between e.g. Y is about the r'ship between persons A and C

@ = what lies at the core or 'the heart of the matter'.

As I said. I'm not yet satisfied it works - it almost needs a 3 dimensional spread to get at what I'm after.

I like your spread, but I see what you mean by three dimentional. Could you explain what you are wanting to include?

Lunalafey, Aarghhh! *lol* - I bet I can't but I'll try.

What I'm interested in is how e.g. the 'rship between A and B affects C - so, if X is a very close, loving and supportive relationship - what effect does that have on Z and Y.

Oh dear, this reminds me of maths [is it algebra? or whatever!] - I couldn't do it then and I can't do it now *lol*

Perhaps if you added one more card "outside" each of the people, something like this...

**********[1]**********

**********[A]**********

*****[X]*********[Y]****

**********[@]**********

********[Z]********[C]

[2]********************[3]

1 would show A's reaction to B+C, 2 would show B's reaction to A+C, 3 would show C's reaction to A+B?

Eissej, that's BRILLIANT!!

Thank you - spread transcribed to my jounal, duly dated and attributed!

This spread looks great. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for posting this.

The eternal triangle spread

Here's one that I found ages ago, it works. (trust me, I am the triangle queen at present!)
Person 1-P1
*********************(1)**************************
*********************(2)**************************
*********************(3)**************************
*********************(10)*************************
Person 2 -P2*****************************Person 3-P3
*****************(11)*****(12)********************
*****************(4)*******(7)********************
*****************(5)*******(8)********************
*****************(6)*******(9)********************
Motives of P1 (1), P2 (4), P3 (7)
Needs of P1 (2),P2 (5),P3 (8)
Current attitude P1 (3), P2 (6),P3 (9)
Outcome P1 (10), P2 (11), P3 (12).

Hope this helps
