What should I expect from this person un

Expect contact to thin and stay undecided — the shape points at a held-back person, not a moving-toward one.

Past is The Tower upright: something between you two already got shaken, and neither of you is standing on the version of it that existed before. Present is The Hermit reversed: the visible pattern is withdrawal and shortened replies — less warmth, less initiative, no explanation offered. Future is Two of Swords upright: the trajectory under that continuing pattern is a standoff, not a decision. Nothing gets settled before month's end; whatever answer exists stays behind a blindfold.

Two majors out of three, so this is about a structural change in the connection, not a scheduling wobble — but the cards read the contact, not the person's private mind, and they can't tell you what they intend.

The tell to watch: reply time and message length on the next two contacts. If both stretch and thin, the Hermit's withdrawal is real and the Two of Swords holds — plan your end of month as if no answer is coming. If the rhythm stays level, then the quiet is passing weather, and what arrives by month's end is a postponement, not a yes or a no.

One thing I can do better with: tell me who this person is — partner, colleague, tenant, family — and I'll read the same three seats against what that relationship can actually do.
