What is a situationship?

Not quite dating, not quite friends. A situationship is a connection without a name, and it can leave you analysing every text. This five-card spread cuts through the mixed signals: what this really is, what each of you wants, what you might be ignoring, and whether to define it or walk away.

The Situationship Clarity spread

1. 1
   What this really is

   The honest nature of the connection.

2. 2
   What they want

   Their side, as the cards see it.

3. 3
   What I want

   Your true need, not the one you settle for.

4. 4
   What I'm ignoring

   The sign you keep looking past.

5. 5
   Define it or leave it

   The best next move for your heart.

How to read the Situationship Clarity spread

1. Settle your space. Find a quiet moment, light a candle if you like, and take three slow breaths.
2. Shuffle with your question. Hold the deck and focus on the situation you want clarity on.
3. Lay out 5 cards. Place them in the numbered order shown in the layout above.
4. Read each position, then the story. Look up each card in the card meanings, then read all the cards together as one story.
5. Journal it. Ask about your own choices, not about controlling theirs.
