Emperor and Empress beside each other ...

[purplefinch]

I did a reading several days ago. The spread was the relationship spread from the website angelpaths
It looks like this:
... 9....10...
.......6.......
1 2 3 4 5
... 8....7...

I thought it was reasonable enough for my rather ... general question:

"What should I know about having a possible relationship with (their name) ?"

The 9th card came out to be Emperor, and the 10th card, the Empress. I read it's rather rare to have this combo side by side, but considering this spread perhaps they don't have much to do with each other even if they are side by side. I am not quite certain but then again, as a whole, every card has energy with the other cards in a spread. In my opinion, anyways.

This was my complete reading:

Card 1: Distant past : Ace of Swords
Card 2: Recent past : Death
Card 3: Now : Page of Swords
Card 4: Future influences : 8 of Pentacles
Card 5: External influences : 8 of Cups
Card 6: The querent's attitude : Ace of Pentacles
Card 7: Helpful energies : 5 of Cups
Card 8: Obstacles to be overcome : The World (perhaps this is rather more of a positive than a wholesome negativity, at least in this position)
Card 9: Hope and fears : The Emperor
Card 10: Final result : The Empress

Any thoughts are certainly welcomed.

Who's getting over a recent break-up, you or him?

What I can see is you fear he has all the control in the relationship, but with the Empress card as the outcome and she's the Emperor's male counterpart, you have more control than you think.
