AXIS BY AXIS
How two Hephaestus cards work together.
Each letter is a Greek opposition. Shared letters are common ground; split letters are where the interesting arguments live.
- C
RealmShared · Where does your power live?
Both of you work below the surface. You trust each other with what stays private, though neither of you may be the first to say the important thing.
- M
MethodShared · How do you win?
Two clever routes. You will out-plan almost any problem together, and you may also out-plan each other, so say what you actually want.
- H
GroundShared · Where do you stand?
You both hold a centre. Home base is solid and the routines are shared, so put something new in the calendar now and then.
- X
PurposeShared · Who is it for?
You both play for the bond. Friends and guests are well looked after, so check that someone is looking after the two of you.
Reversed, together
Hephaestus: The workshop becomes a hiding place.
Two of the same shadow can amplify each other, so name it early.
One habit for the pair
- Compare your twelve answers: the same card can come from very different choices, and that is where the conversation starts.
