The Lovers Spread -- Spreads

I am not sure where this spread originates from, I believe it is an oldie as I learned it from my Mom a lifetime ago... I still go back to it because it is really good with reading in three card pulls, as I do for the "wee daily three", and works much the same way.

Shuffle and cut the cards as you normally would.  Have the Querent (or you yourself) select 10 cards and lay them out in three rows across in this order:

1   2   3

       4   5   6   10

7   8   9

The cards are then read down in this order:  

Cards 1, 4, and 7 represent the Querent.

Cards 3, 6, and 9 represent the other person in the relationship.

Cards 2, 5 , and 8 represent the relationship.

Finally, card 10 is the "gypsy advice" card.  Really, that's how I wrote it down... :-)
