I've been noticing how frequently "new love" questions appear in the forum, and how new readers are almost as frequently baffled by what the cards are saying given the tools available to them. So I put together a compatibility spread that is simple to use but fully-featured enough to transcend the "what does he/she think/feel about me" mind-reading approach. It requires two decks, shuffled and dealt separately for each person so both have equal access to the full range of meaning. It looks at potential alignment between the parties in five areas of compatibilty as follows, and a "roll-up" comparison of the numerologically derived quintessence card for each line (alternatively, drawn quint cards could be used if preferred).
From my written method sheet:
The cards in the “Romance Potential” column will show whether romantic love between the partners will flourish or whether there could be difficulties in becoming emotionally close.
The cards in the “Happiness Potential” column will show how much non-sexual fun the partner's are likely to experience in each others company.
The cards in the “Passion Potential” column will show how rewarding sexual union between them is likely to be.
The cards in the “Longevity Potential” column will show how likely the partner's are to become fast friends and stick together through “thick and thin.”
The cards in the “Empathy Potential” column will show how like-minded the partners are in terms of their expectations and desires for the relationship.
