Why is he not talking to me?

Pulled three cards for "Why is he not talking to me?" — Two of Wands reversed (past), Queen of Wands reversed (present), The Hermit reversed (future). One major arcana in three, all three reversed, and two of the three are Wands, so this is a fire-suit story that has gone inward: the reaching-out energy got turned around, and under that weight the last card is a Major — a structural layer, not a scheduling glitch.

Past — Two of Wands reversed. The last active phase between you looked like a plan or a horizon he kept describing but didn't move on: eyes on the far end, no arrivals. Reversed here is stalled momentum, not failure.

Present — Queen of Wands reversed. This is the card that describes what you are actually receiving right now, and what it shows is heat turned inward — the warm, confident, magnetic presence you know him for is in his court, but dimmed or pointed somewhere else. From your side of it, the signals available are that his attention looks unfocused rather than hostile: less spark in what he gives you, no visible effort to draw you in.

Future — The Hermit reversed. If the present keeps running as it is, the tendency is toward withdrawal that has stopped being restful: solitude turned into being out of reach, and the two of you holding less and less information about each other. That is a direction, not a date, and it can still be turned.

The line the cards will not cross: they do not report what is happening inside him. They read the pattern you can see, and the expectation you have poured into that pattern — which is worth naming, because the Queen reversed is as much about the one waiting as the one going quiet.

So: if his last few messages were warm but short, answered nothing you asked, and left the ball nowhere — that reads like a fade of attention, and the Hermit reversed is what that tends toward. If he is still fully reliable on practical and concrete things, and only the personal register has gone quiet, then what has gone inward is narrower than withdrawal, and the honest next move is to narrow your own question rather than wait for him to widen it.

One step, within 48 hours: send one plain message that asks a checkable thing — "we haven't talked in a while, are you okay, and is there a good time this week?" — then watch what comes back, and how fast. Not a test, and not you rehearsing what it means. The answer, its length, and its timing are the part the cards cannot hand you.
