Relationship Layout #2
Difficulty: Easy
This relationship spread focuses more on the common ground of the relationship, with three tiles in the middle column showing the common ground. The middle column essentially displays the past, present, and future of the relationship.
Tile #4 stands for the common base of the relationship, which may be thought of as the past events which have shaped their characters, bringing them together. The current connection that binds them together is Tile #3, indicating the values shared. Tile #7 implies the common goals that would keep the pair together moving into the future.
The columns on either side show what each partner brings to the table. Remember, relationships need not be romantic, and the partners could even be groups rather than individuals. In this layout, the other person is on the left-hand side and the reader on the right.
Tiles #1 & #2 indicate the separate personalities of each member of the relationship. These tiles form a sort of bridge with the tiles beneath them, #5 & #6, which show the qualities that each partner offers the other person, and thus to the relationship as a whole.

White Dragon – The Unknown
The White Dragon stands as a mysterious symbol of the unseen forces at work in your life. It represents the enigmatic and unpredictable aspects of fate that lie beyond human perception. This tile invites you to acknowledge that not all elements in your journey are fully revealed or understood, and that there is wisdom in embracing uncertainty. The White Dragon's ethereal quality encourages openness to hidden influences that shape your destiny. It cautions against overreliance on clear-cut answers, reminding you that growth often comes from navigating ambiguity and exploring the realms of the unknown. The White Dragon, therefore, serves as both a guardian of secret knowledge and a catalyst for intuitive insight, urging you to trust that even the mysterious aspects of life contribute to your ultimate evolution.

Wan 1 – Entering
The Entering tile signals the imminent removal of barriers that have confined you, ushering in a period when hidden opportunities become accessible.

It demands courage and readiness—entering uncharted territory with both determination and mindfulness. The energy of this tile implies that personal and professional doors, once firmly shut, are now opening.
