How does this person perceive me?

The read: they're not reading you as one thing — all three seats landed reversed, so what they're carrying is a picture of you that keeps getting revised rather than a settled opinion of you.

Past is the Five of Wands reversed — you came into their view through competition or friction, not through ease; whatever first impression formed was one where you were the person on the other side of something, not the easy one. Present is the Ace of Cups reversed — the warmth isn't there right now, or it's being held back; something you'd read as openness on your end is landing as reserved or unsmiling on theirs. Future is the Three of Pentacles reversed — the image of you they carry forward tends toward work rather than feeling: capable, useful, but harder to place, not obviously someone who fits a place they can name.

That's the shape, and it's not a verdict on what they actually feel — the cards can't report the inside of another person's head. It describes the signal they'd be picking up and the expectation they're projecting onto it.

The thing that would settle it is what they actually do when the two of you are around other people versus when you're alone together. If the reserved read is accurate, you'll see them go warmer in private and keep you at arm's length in a room — that's the pattern that would confirm the Ace of Cups reversed. If instead the reserved read is off, and they light up the same either way, then the real filter is the Three of Pentacles: they don't know where you fit yet, and they're holding you as useful-but-unplaced rather than distant.

So, one thing inside 48 hours, and it's a watching step, not a telling step: pick one ordinary situation coming up with them and note who they turn to and how they talk when you walk in, versus when you leave. Write down three lines afterwards — who they faced first, whether the tone changed when you arrived, and what they said to you first. Cards can't supply that; you have to be there.

That person isn't named in your question — tell me who they are (partner, colleague, sibling, friend of years) and I'll read the same three positions against what you'd actually see.
