Would becoming friends with this girl be

Reading — three cards, drawn now: Past: Queen of Cups Reversed · Present: The Hermit Reversed · Future: Nine of Swords Upright

The cards don't say yes or no to the friendship. What they say is that this sits closer to your own head than to her — and that the cost, if there is one, is sleep and rumination, not heartbreak.

• Past — Queen of Cups Reversed: what you bring in isn't neutral. You already tend to take on other people's moods, or to idealize the emotional texture of a connection before it's lived out.
• Present — The Hermit Reversed: a Major, so this is structural, not a scheduling detail. Right now you're leaning the other way — pulling back from people generally, keeping things at arm's length. A friendship would be entering that pattern, not escaping it.
• Future — Nine of Swords Upright: if the current pattern continues, this tends to become late-night overthinking — replaying messages, reading tone into wording. A tendency under that condition, not a prediction.

So: if she answers you plainly and keeps showing up without being chased, and you're still sleeping fine and not drafting messages in your head, then yes — a low-key friendship is good for you and the Hermit gets some company. If she stays warm but vague while you find yourself awake re-reading a text, that's not a sign about her; that's the Queen and the Hermit doing their thing, and it will look the same with any other person.

One step, inside 48 hours: ask her for one ordinary, low-stakes thing — coffee, or coming along to something you were already going to — and then watch what she does without prompting. Not as a test, just because that's the only information the cards can't give you.
