How can I get him back into my life?

This spread doesn't say he comes back — it says what the reopening would have to come from, and it points at your side of the table rather than his.

Two of the three cards are major arcana, and both are reversed, which is what makes this a real crossroads rather than a wash.

• Past — The Hanged Man, reversed: the suspension didn't resolve. Something went into pause and stayed there — a period of waiting, of not deciding, that turned into stalling on both sides.
• Present — The Devil, reversed: this is the seat the question lives in. Reversed, the Devil is attachment seen clearly — the grip loosening, but only once you look at it directly. What you're bound to right now is the wanting itself: the checking, rehearsing, waiting for a sign. The cards won't tell you where he stands; nobody's position can be read from here. What they do say is that the chain loosens from your end, not his.
• Future — King of Cups, upright: steadiness, warmth held under control. If there was something genuinely open between you — a sentence left unfinished, a question he owed an answer to — then a calm, unhurried word from you is the shape that can move it, and this card leans toward that working. If nothing was left open, the same card reads as *you* being the settled one, which is what makes a reach-out land rather than beg.

The action: within 48 hours, go back to the actual last exchange — the thread, the message, the last time you spoke — and read it for what was left unfinished, not for how it ended. You'll find either a genuine open thread or you won't, and that's the fact the cards can't hand you.
