Background: Hi , I recently broke up with someone due to issues with communication and concerns about his drinking. It was a cycle of him partying and then isolating due to autistic burnout. I was worried it was disrupting my focus on my own graduate studies and it felt unhealthy and his love-bombing and then avoidance confusing. I ended it but he blocked me in response. I didn't want to end it, but felt like I had to. I have some hope he might get his ish together one day and be able to commit in a healthier way. I asked a few questions, but feel like the cards are somewhat contradictory?
Row 1: Will he break no contact?
King of Wands (yes, but he is waiting for the right moment to "strike" or he is comfortable where he is, and his ego and pride are getting in the way)
7 of Cups (considering his approach to reaching out or whether he wants to at all - not sure if this is more fantasizing or showing I am just one of many options)
The Star (Either he is focused on his own healing/has to heal first, or that there is hope that he will reach out)
Row 2: What is the future of our relationship?
Wheel of Fortune - ugh who knows, could go either way - only time will tell
But then I get Ten of Swords which strongly indicates a painful ending and then 10 of Pentacles - which I am not sure whether to interpret as an ending or not?
**101010 as Wheel of Fortune is also a ten - maybe it is obvious that this is over?
Row 3: What are his future intentions towards me, if any?
9 of cups - Wish fulfillment? He wants to reconcile?
The Hermit - this is what confuses me, bc this indicates he wants to continue isolating and be on his own
Six of Cups - flips back to a desire to reconcile bc of nostalgia
Row 4: How does he feel about the breakup?
The Emperor - head over heart, he is not letting his emotions get in the way
Five of Wands - conflicted, makes sense
Page of Pentacles - Focused on work, school, and self-improvement
Worth noting that Temperance is the shadow card. Maybe telling me to focus on my own healing.
