Energy of the Couple

Seven cards in a ring: the shared tone of the couple, its sources of strength and its leaks. For two people who somehow tire faster together than they do alone.

Choose it if being together tires you more than being apart, and where the strength goes is unclear.

How to read it

Read the ring clockwise from the top card. Card one sets the shared tone and every other card is measured against it. Cards two and three form the main axis, income and expenditure; if three is stronger than two, the couple is living on credit. Cards four and five show plainly which of you is currently pulling the relationship and which is recovering at the other's expense; swapping them is pointless, admitting it is not. Card six names the actual leak: chores, relatives, work, a third person. Card seven is what restores you fastest, and it is where this week should start.
