Will the contact fall through and I get

This isn't a yes-or-no the cards will give you, and the deal terms — not the outcome — are what settle it.

Past — The Tower, upright. Something in this arrangement has already come apart once, or was built fast on an assumption nobody wrote down. That upheaval isn't necessarily the other deal; it may be the house search, or the way this particular contact came to you.

Present — Three of Swords, upright. Today you are carrying a clear, named hurt about it — a specific person or a specific promise that stung. Not fog; a fact that hurt. Worth noticing: the cards don't show whether the contact will walk. They show what the situation already cost you.

Future — Knight of Pentacles, reversed. Under that condition, what comes next is drag, not collapse. Slow processes, held paperwork, money that moves late or not at all. That reads as a deal stalling before it falls — and as you watching it stall. If the other side's fall-through is real and dated, the timeline here still tends to smear rather than snap shut in your favour.

So: if the other deal has a hard, written end-date and cleared financing, expect it to end slowly and messily, not to hand you the house cleanly. If what you have is a verbal "they'll back out," the Three of Swords suggests that hope is the part already hurting you.

Before you read anything into the timing: get the other side's terms in writing — the end date, what has to happen for them to walk — and have your own agent or conveyancer confirm what those dates mean for your offer. That conversation, not this draw, is what tells you whether the house is actually yours to plan around.
