 | The card at the top left represents how you see yourself. Wheel of Fortune: The intrusion of chance into affairs. Unlikely coincidence. "What goes up, must come down." The intercession of good fortune in life. A sudden opportunity that must be exploited deftly and promptly; according to Machiavelli, in The Prince, Fortune is "bald behind", that is, once she runs past, it will be too late to grab her, and so she must be seized as she approaches, "by the forelock". |
 | The card at the top right represents how you see your partner. Seven of Swords (Futility), when reversed: Uncertainty. Disagreements. |
 | The card in the center left represents how you feel about your partner. Four of Staves (Completion): Calm, pleasurable and perhaps amorous interlude. A playful balance of opposites, like the exchange made by Herakles and Queen Omphale. |
 | The card in the center right represents what stands between you and your partner. The Tower: Comeuppance. Setback. Disaster. Arrogance of pride cast down by Providence. Unforeseen event. Calamity. |
 | The card in the lower left represents how your partner sees you. King of Staves, when reversed: Talent turned to pomposity. Complacency. Egocentricity. Provincial attitude. Sophistry which masks lack of principle of conviction. |
 | The card in the lower right represents what your partner feels about you. The Sun: Glory and rejoicing. The light of reason. The flower of manhood. Inspiration in poetry and music. |
