Reunion Spread

After a breakup: is there still a way back?

History

The reunion spread is hugely popular in Chinese and Japanese tarot circles; after a breakup it is the question asked most. Five cards go back to why you parted, look at where each of you is now, then at what stands in the way and what is possible. A good reading answers not only "will it happen" but honestly, "is it worth it".
