So last Tuesday I was lying in bed scrolling TikTok at 2am when this question popped into my head – does he actually miss me? Drove me crazy. Next morning I remembered seeing tarot card readings online, thought why not try myself? Grabbed my old tarot deck from that meditation phase I went through last year.
My First Attempt Was a Total Mess
Cleared off the kitchen table after breakfast. Lit this vanilla candle my sister gave me for ✨good vibes✨. Shuffled those cards like poker chips – probably wrong but whatever. Asked out loud “Show me signs he misses me.” Pulled three cards: The Moon reversed, Three of Swords upright, and… Knight of Cups? Just stared at them like they were written in alien language.
Where I Screwed Up:
- Googled meanings while looking at the cards (big no-no apparently)
- Kept thinking about my ex’s text from yesterday
- Knocked over the candle wax all over the Seven of Pentacles
The Turning Point
Wiped the wax off feeling frustrated. Decided to start fresh after lunch. Did that breathing thing yoga instructors always talk about. Shuffled slower this time, actually focusing on my question instead of his Instagram stories. Drew four cards deliberately:
Ten of Pentacles reversed ➜ Two of Cups ➜ The Lovers ➜ Page of Wands
What Clicked:
- That reversed Ten of Pentacles hit different – realized I’d been obsessing over “future potential” instead of present reality
- Two of Cups/Lovers combo screamed emotional connection but Page of Wands? That’s when I remembered – he’d sent me that hiking reel last week saying “this reminded me of you”
- My eyes went wide when it clicked the Page was pointing toward The Lovers card
The Realizations That Stuck
Later that night brewing chamomile tea, two things hit me:
First: Tarot doesn’t show HIS mind – it mirrors YOUR gut feelings. My cards kept showing water signs when I thought about our lake trip last summer.
Second: Those “signs” people chase? They’re obvious when you stop obsessing. That hiking reel was his Page of Wands moment – initiative energy. Fool me didn’t see it because I was overanalyzing card positions instead of real life.
Biggest lesson? If you’re pulling cards asking “does he miss me”, you already know the answer isn’t in the cards. It’s in whether THEY REACH OUT. My guy sent that reel. Yours left you on read for 3 days. The cards just help you admit what you already know.
Still glad I did it though. That wax stain on the Seven of Pentacles? Kinda looks like a heart now. Funny how that works.
