Hello and welcome to anyone reading!
Today we have a new read to do, from a querant who asks “My ex called; what does he want?”
Before I cleared and shuffled the deck, I assigned the positions as follows:
Card #1 – Are his intentions good?
Card #2 – Is this just a booty call?
Card #3 – Does he want money?
Card #4 – Should she consider allowing him back into her life?
And the cards drawn are:
From an intuitive perspective, without considering the positions, we have two swords and two major arcane cards; that would tell me that the querant should approach any contact with her ex from as logical as possible of a position, because the decisions she makes regarding him have the potential to have significant impact on her life.
Card #1 – Are his intentions good?
We drew the page of swords.
Hmmm, this guy showed up just the other day! Pages represent youth, or taking the opportunity to be young at heart – in a love question, a page is typically indicative of happy things, but also immaturity. The page of swords specifically represents an energetic, curious & brave soul; someone whose quick thinking comes through to win the day when troubles are at hand – but that quick thinking and immaturity can also make it easy for the page of swords to lie without realizing the impact it has on someone else. So specific to this position, I would read this as his intentions are not bad, but they could end up being bad for you – view the situation from a perspective of brutal honesty with yourself and don’t hesitate to call him on his bullshit if he appears to be being deceitful!!
Card #2 – Is this just a booty call?
We drew the Knight of swords
Knights are temporary things that move quickly through our lives, and this knight is mister “Win at ALL costs”. He charges bravely ahead (Yay!), regardless of consequence (Boo!), but he can also represent freedom, travel, & power… so him showing up here would indicate a strong potential yes on this question – but the more important question is, would a booty call from this ex be a fabulous way to get in some heart pumping cardio, have a wonderful time, and leave the querant feeling empowered, or would it come with a resurgence of emotional connections for her that would leave her feeling abandoned when he wanders off again? The imagery in the Santa Muerte deck for this guy, in view of the question, could be read as sexually explicit; usually I interpret this image as him being willing to die on his sword for something (that win at all costs thing), but in this context, maybe it’s more about what SHE might want to do with his sword.
Card #3 – Does he want money?
We drew the Hanged Man
The Hanged Man is a major arcane card, so is representative of something more significant than a day to day decision. He reminds us to take time to view things from a different perspective, to accept what is – so I think this is saying that the tarot isn’t going to tell us one way or the other, because the answer isn’t yet set in stone – but when that moment comes, she’ll want to weigh the question carefully, and look for what might not be being said.
Often the Hanged Man is a sign that this is a time to let go of something, and it’s definitely a call to remember that the best approach to a problem is not always going to be the most obvious one. My querant needs to let go of what she wants here, and pay strong attention to what she needs.
Not knowing the details of their relationship, this one could go a couple of different ways; as examples, maybe what she wants is to get back together with him or maybe what she wants is for him to go away, but what she needs is to focus on her own stability – and whether or not he asks for money could help tell her which way to go. Maybe what she wants is to view herself as the benefactor in his life, and she’s using gifting him money as a way to keep him in her control to some degree, and what she needs is to let this relationship go so she can move on to one that’s healthier for her. Or maybe what she wants is for him to NOT ask her for anything so she can avoid a potential conflict, and what she needs is to figure out how to communicate in a positive and direct way with him. So for this one we’ll need to get some add’l clarification!
Card #4 – Should she consider allowing him back into her life?
We drew the Chariot
The Chariot is another major arcane card, and it’s about control, a journey (physical or spiritual), and most importantly a need for balance – a chariot that’s missing a wheel can’t go anywhere fast. The chariot is a sign that some victories are only possible through self-mastery and willpower; so my querant has a major decision to make, and the direction she goes is going to have an impact on her life. To answer the question she needs to consider whether reconnecting with this ex is moving forward to a new and healthy relationship with him, or stepping backwards into old thoughts and patterns. She needs to make sure that she is taking control of and responsibility for the environment around her; this is not about what he wants or how persuasive he might be, but about what she wants and needs in her life at this time to help move her journey forward - what’s right for her. This card in this position tells me she already knows the answer, she just hasn’t admitted it to herself yet.
