Reciprocation of Love Spread

365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Reciprocation of Love Spread

On This Day

Sinfully sweet chocolate has long been considered an aphrodisiac. Aztec chief Montezuma would consume a “choclati” drink flavored with vanilla and spices before visiting his harem.

White Day is a Japanese romantic holiday celebrated today. Japanese Valentine’s Day differs from the States as women bestow chocolate gifts upon men. On White Day, men who received chocolate now return the favor. They offer gifts of white chocolate, white lingerie, white cookies, or marshmallows to the women in their life.

Summation of Spread

The angel in the Temperance card hovers above the water, actively mixing fluids. These fluids move back and forth like the give and take of a relationship, keeping everything in symbiotic balance.

Reciprocity, the simple give and take of love and affection, is core to any relationship, romantic or otherwise. Japan’s White Day is an opportunity for you to explore the state of give and take in your romantic realm.
