Koifuda Reading: 他・女・不, 婚・家・恋, 無・不・卍 — A Spread That Is Hard to Deliver
How to read a spread where cards of opposite meaning sit together. A 3-card draw of 他・女・不, 婚・家・恋 and 無・不・卍 read as two faces of one thing — and how to deliver a result this hard.
How to read a spread when cards of opposite meaning sit side by side. Where the best and the worst coexist, the creator reads it as two faces of one thing — and goes on to how such a hard result should be delivered to the querent.
Spread Breakdown
他・女・不
UprightThe presence of another woman. It shows there is someone else in their life — the harshest card in this spread.
婚・家・恋
UprightA partner with a promised future. They see the querent as the finest partner and love them enough to want marriage — the most favourable card here.
無・不・卍
UprightIndifference, with a little hope left. In the subconscious it has cooled, and their feelings have become impossible to read.
The Reading, and the Craft of Delivering It
Left Card: Someone Else Is There
The card on the left, 他・女・不, shows that there is another woman — or another partner — in their life. It is a very unfavourable card.
Center Card: The Ideal Partner
The card in the center, 婚・家・恋, says they consider the querent the finest partner they could have — that they love them enough to want marriage. It is a very favourable card.
Right Card: A Chill in the Subconscious
The card on the right, 無・不・卍, indicates indifference — no interest, feelings that cannot be seen. A cooled state in the subconscious.
Reading the Contradiction — Two Faces of One Thing
The creator reads these as two faces of one thing. In terms of the relationship, the other person does acknowledge the querent as their foremost presence — the place of a spouse or a lover.
Psychologically, though, they are resting on their laurels — certain the querent will never waver on them. Fully at ease, their interest thins (無・不・卍), and as a result their eyes turn to someone else (他・女・不).
Even holding the partner's place now, there is a possibility of being traded away in time. It is a severe diagnosis.
How to Hand Over a Hard Result
When a result this hard to deliver comes up, the reader must take care. To a querent who already knows the other person strays, you tell them the facts. But to one who has no idea — who has been told the other is single and free — the shock would be too great, and choosing not to tell them is also an option.
A reading that only wounds serves no purpose. Read the querent's situation, and it may be enough to stop at advice such as: better not to let them grow too comfortable — let them feel a little at stake.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ
Q: How is 'Koifuda' different from tarot cards?
The biggest difference is its 'overwhelming simplicity.' With only 14 carefully selected cards, it's easy to memorize the meanings, even if you've struggled with traditional tarot. You can start using it professionally from the day it arrives.
Q: What can I divine with 'Koifuda'?
It specializes in divining your partner's feelings during romance and your own feelings toward them. It can provide detailed insights from surface awareness to deep inner truths.
Q: Are there things I cannot divine with 'Koifuda'?
You cannot divine matters not directly related to romantic emotions, such as other relationships (family, friends), work, health, money, or global events.
Q: Can I combine these with Tarot or other Oracle cards?
Yes, you can. Using Koifuda to pinpoint 'the partner's inner truth' while reading the overall flow with Tarot is highly praised by professional diviners for adding depth to their consultations.
Q: With only 14 cards, can it really capture the nuances of complex relationships?
Koifuda consists of 14 cards that condense the 'core' emotions of romance. Because of the limited number, the combinations become clear, allowing you to sharply derive the 'partner's true feelings' that often remain vague.
Q: Can I divine 'timing' with this deck?
Yes, but it is considered an 'irregular use.' Since human emotions rarely change drastically over short periods, the creator (Ririo) seldom uses it for timing. However, if you wish to see the 'flow of emotions,' you can draw cards at your own set intervals, such as once a week.
Q: What should I do if the reading result is negative?
The cards reflect the current flow, but it is not a fixed future. By referring to the advice cards and slightly changing your current actions, it is possible to turn the future for the better.
Q: Can I use these for complex relationships (reconciliation, secret love)?
Yes. Obsidian Room decks (especially Koifuda) are specialized in reading deep inner feelings and complex emotional nuances, providing close support for concerns that are difficult to discuss with others.
