Is there any real chance my ex and I wil

The cards don't hand you a yes or a no on this one — but they do say something specific about which shape a reunion could even take.

Past — Nine of Pentacles, reversed. What you two built was real and it was yours, and it also became a place where you could live alone. Reversed, that garden has partly been turned into a locked one: self-sufficiency hardened into the reason you don't need anyone, which is a fine way to live and a poor way to wait.

Present — The Tower, upright. The big structural card sits in the middle seat, not the future one. That means the ground under the relationship already moved — it isn't a future risk, it's the current terrain. Whatever the version of this you keep imagining is built on a version that no longer stands.

Future — Eight of Swords, reversed. The most useful card in the spread, because reversed it points at loosening. The blindfold is coming off, and what it was covering is mostly the knots you tied yourself — the story where you're not allowed to be the one who reaches out, where reaching out would mean you lost. Reversed, that's weakening. It is a tendency, not a schedule: it holds only as long as the Tower keeps being something you both pretend is temporary.

So — if you look at the last concrete thing your ex actually *did*, not the last conversation you replay, and it was a move toward you rather than a move toward their own life, then the reversed Eight of Swords says the fence is genuinely loosening and what keeps it closed is one knot you can find and untie. If that last concrete thing was about their own life, then the Tower already has the final word on the old structure, and the reversed Nine of Pentacles says you grew something outside it — that part is real regardless of who you're with.

Before you decide anything tonight, find the last concrete action on your ex's side and read it for what it was, not what it meant: a message actually sent, a date actually set, a thing actually packed or returned. That's a fact in your record, not a feeling, and it tells you more than any number of remembered conversations will.
