Reading
The love line is another worked chord, drawn across the lower-right quadrant of the octagram rather than corner to corner. The diagram marks it with a heart. The tradition reads it for partnership and for the heart’s exchanges, the way a life gives and receives when it meets another.
A school treats the chord for how a person tends to come near, whether love arrives as exchange or as demand, whether the door opens easily or guards itself. It describes a manner of meeting, the pattern a chart runs in close relationship. The Matrix holds this as tendency, never a verdict on whether someone is loved or loving, and never a promise about who arrives or when.
The heart chord is read for how one meets the other, held as pattern, not as a fortune about the meeting.
