The other day my friend told me there is

Go — but as a first meeting, not a verdict, because this spread is loud about your own momentum and quiet about him.

Past — Justice, upright. The setup you came in through is an honest accounting, not a rescue fantasy. Your friend weighed something and handed you her conclusion; the frame is even-handed, match-and-effect, people meeting people. Justice in the past usually means the thing on the table is real: the description comes from someone who has actually seen him, and you're being offered a fact, not a pitch.

Present — Knight of Wands, upright. This is the seat that's doing the most talking, and it's a court card, so it reads as posture, not plot. The energy right now is yours: pull, appetite, a bit of charge to get moving. Worth saying plainly — the cards say nothing about what he thinks, wants, or is like. The Knight is the stance you bring through the door, not his mood on the other side of it.

Future — Six of Swords, upright. If that impulse keeps its current direction, what follows is a crossing: a boat already in motion, something on one shore being left for something not yet visible on the other. It is a tendency under that condition, not a forecast. Two things sit in the middle: air, air, fire — ideas and feelings pointing the same way, which is why this will be easy to act on and easy to keep acting on. Momentum is the cards' one clear promise here. They make no claim about the result.

So: if what your friend can actually tell you about him holds up — a specific thing, not "he just seems nice" — then go. The present seat says your pull is genuine, and the far seat says meeting him is a crossing rather than a detour. If her answer to "what is he actually like" is that she doesn't know, only that he seemed decent — then the same Six of Swords is someone mid-departure, not someone arriving, and the meeting is you watching him go somewhere else.

Before you agree to anything, go to the place once on your own, at an ordinary hour, and watch him for one hour without talking to him. Write down two things you see and one thing he does that no description of him could have told you. That is the part the cards can't hand you — what Six of Swords actually looks like from the dock.
