How does my ex view me?

Drawn: Three-card spread, uniform draw, reversals on — Five of Pentacles reversed / Two of Pentacles upright / The Emperor reversed (seed 520321171145531668, afternoon pull).

The read: Where you sit in their mind is lighter and less settled than you may fear, but it isn't warm ground either.

• Past — Five of Pentacles reversed: The version of you that belongs to the hard part has thinned. Whatever version of this ended in cold, that picture isn't the one being carried now; if anything it has been put down or softened.
• Present — Two of Pentacles upright: Right now you're in circulation, not in a fixed spot. Attention is going where the balance is being held — you're one of the things being managed, handled competently, easily put down and picked up. Warm, but not weighty.
• Future — The Emperor reversed: If that juggling continues as-is, the shape it hardens into is structure set by someone else — rules, conditions, a frame you are outside of, with the door controlled from their side. That's a tendency under that condition, not a fixed outcome.

Two of three cards are Pentacles, so the whole question is being answered in practical terms — time, logistics, who has to be where — not in feeling. Which is why the deciding evidence is behavioral: if the last few weeks of contact show specific plans, times, follow-through, then the present position reads as real interest with room in it. If it stays warm and vague, and things get cancelled or rescheduled without a counter-offer, then the reversed Emperor is what's already forming — a door with a rule on it.

And the plain line: cards don't report what's happening inside another person's head. This reads the signals you can see plus what's being asked of that position, not their private verdict on you.

Your step, inside 48 hours: write down the last three real interactions — what was said, who moved the time, and whether a specific plan ever appeared or only a feeling of warmth. That record is the thing the cards cannot supply, and it's the same evidence the two readings above turn on.
