How to read two cards together
There are three simple ways to read a pair. As a story: left to right, cause and consequence, the first card explaining how you arrived at the second. As a modifier: one card is the subject, the other the adjective, so The Tower beside The Lovers describes a very particular kind of upheaval rather than upheaval in general. As a contrast: notice where the two disagree, because the tension between them is usually the honest part of the reading.
What they share matters too. Two Majors suggest a whole chapter; two cards of one suit double an element and make its tone louder; a Major beside a Minor is often a big theme showing up in a small, daily way. None of this is prediction, it is a prompt for reflection. New to spreads? Start with the beginner guide.
