Alright guys, today I got a burning question stuck in my head: will he come back? So I figured, hey, let’s pull out the cards and see what they say. Just a quick yes or no, fast and simple. Here’s exactly how it went down.
Grabbing My Stuff
First things first, I cleared off my kitchen table – good enough spot. Didn’t need anything fancy. Fished out my old Rider-Waite deck from the drawer where it lives next to the spare batteries and takeout menus. Felt a bit stiff, cards probably feeling neglected. Shuffled them while just thinking that one question: “Will he come back?” Over and over. Honestly? My brain was kinda buzzing.
Setting Up the Question
This wasn’t about complex meanings today. I just wanted a clear answer: yes or no. Felt like I needed that straight shot. Decided to use the simplest layout I know:
- Card 1: What’s going on with him now?
- Card 2: What’s his feeling about me?
- Card 3: The final “Yes” or “No” outcome.
Took a deep breath, cut the deck three times to the left (just something I always do), and started flipping those cards face up.
The Cards Landed Like This
Card 1: The Hermit. That old dude with the lantern. Okay, first gut feeling? He’s deep in his own head right now. Maybe trying to figure himself out? Feels like he’s withdrawn, alone, searching for something. Not exactly out partying or making moves. Thought: “He’s kind of shut off, huh?”
Card 2: Six of Swords. Picture that boat sailing away. My stomach kinda dropped seeing this. Felt like it was saying he’s moving away from whatever the situation was. Not necessarily fighting, just… leaving it behind? Seeking calmer waters, I guess. Question popped in my head: “Is he just done?” Felt more like quiet departure than anger.
Card 3: Five of Cups. Oh boy. The person staring at the spilled cups. This screamed “loss” and “regret” to me. But here’s the key – he’s not looking at the cups still standing. If this is the final answer on him coming back? It felt overwhelmingly like a No. It pointed to dwelling on what’s over and done, missing something, maybe feeling sad, but not turning back towards it. The focus is on the spilled cups, not the ones saved.
Putting It Together
Looked at all three. Hermit: he’s in his cave, figuring things out, focused inward, not outward towards connection. Six of Swords: actively moving away, transitioning out. Five of Cups: loss, sorrow, dwelling on the past but not going back to reclaim it. Each card seemed to build on the next, and together, the vibe wasn’t about reunion. It felt like he’s processing the ending, maybe feeling bad, but he’s also mentally and emotionally shifting away from it. The path he’s on doesn’t seem to be circling back to me. The final card sealed it – looking like a No.
How It Actually Hit Me
Honestly? Seeing that Five of Cups sucked a bit. I think a tiny part of me was hoping for a Knight or the Lovers or something impossible, ha! But I’ve done this enough times to know the cards don’t lie just to make you feel better. It felt real. The reading matched the general feeling I had underneath all the wondering, like I knew deep down but needed confirmation. The cards were blunt: it looks like he’s moved on internally and is focused elsewhere, and what’s gone is likely staying gone. The sadness is there (Five of Cups!), sure, but it’s about the past, not a pull back to it.
It was a sharp, quick answer, just like I wanted. Sometimes a fast no is better than a long, winding maybe. Now I gotta figure out what to do with that info.
