Love Triangle Spread
Cards drawn: 13 (difficulty: complicated)

This spread can be used to determine the dynamics of the relationship between three people, regardless of whether romance is involved. It is arranged in the form of a hexagram, consisting of several large and small triangles. This tarot spread may seem somewhat complicated, but it is not entirely that difficult.

The first step is to interpret the card for each individual position in the spread. Generally, one might ask about a relationship they are involved in, but this does not have to be the case. Ordinarily, the reader’s representative card is #1, their main person of interest is #2, and the other person would be #3.

The second step fills in the downward triangle and involves a further examination of the individuals through their views of other people. Each person has two more cards showing the way they see and relate to the other members of the triangle. For example, Card #6 indicates how Person #3 relates to Person #1, while Card #9 stands for Person #1‘s attitude toward Person #3.

The next step completes the upward triangle and the hexagram, focusing on cards #10–13. It also completes the many smaller triangles and hints at the potential for each relationship. The final card, #13 can be considered the significator of the reading, which suggests the overall potential for this three-way relationship.
