My partner isn't a witch. Should I invit

Invite him — but as a person with a Saturday list, not as someone being tested for a title. The cards don't say the ritual is the problem; they say the hierarchy around it is.

Past is The Empress reversed: the caring in this house has been running one way for a while, and something at home went untended while that went on. Present is The Sun, upright and clean: the actual state of the place is plain and workable — light in the rooms, nothing hidden, no crisis you need a specialist for. Future, under that condition, is The Emperor reversed: if the invitation carries a rank in it — him proving himself, rules about who does what, or a role he has to earn — that structure stiffens fast and turns the home into something administered.

So it's conditional on what you hand him. If the ask is "these are the rooms, this is what's stuck, help me move it," the Sun in the present keeps it ordinary and it works. If the ask is "come help me do this properly, the way it should be done," the Emperor reversed is the trajectory you get — and the cards can't tell you whether he'd even say yes to that; they only say what shape it takes if he does.

The cards say nothing about what he feels about being asked, and I'd hold to that — what you can actually see is how he answers, not what's underneath.

One step, this week, before any candles: write the three specific things you mean by "cleanse" as an actual to-do list — the room, the object, the corner — and put it in front of him as chores with your name on some of them. What comes back on that page is the answer to your question; nothing in this spread can.
