Apocalyptic's Tri Relationship Spread total 9 cards.

Apocalyptic (Wen from SG club) created this spread. It is to find out about the relationship between 2 persons when 1 of the party is not around. It is an exploration spread which gives very detailed insight into relationships. I remember most of what he had taught me,

Note to Apocalyptic: If you want to correct me in my telling of the spread, please do.

The lay of cards as the above picture is as follows. I used the Dragon Tarot, which is my birthday present from my disciple Sky Neo

Generally, i feel the spread gives very very strong insight to relationships and do gives suggestions and guidance for how a relationship could be improved. However, i suggest to add one more card to the spread to make it more complete. card in the centre as a general outcome. because lots of people like to know an outcome.

No offense to the creator of course. Thank you Wen for sharing this Spread with me.
