Positions to read together

How you see the other person ↔ How the other person sees themselves. Come vedi l'altra persona e come l'altra persona si vede: se le due immagini coincidono, o quanto distano.
What they represent to you ↔ What you represent to them. Ciò che ciascuno rappresenta per l'altro: la reciprocità del legame.
Obstacles ↔ Strengths. Ostacoli e forze: cosa separa e cosa unisce.
Strengths ↔ Probable result. Le forze e l'esito: se ciò che vi sostiene porta dove le carte indicano.
