What will he offer me?

He'll offer you something, but the cards won't show you a clean number — what they show is a stalled shape, not a closed door. All three seats came out reversed, which reads as inward friction and delay across the whole line, not as a "no."

• Past — Strength (VIII), reversed: the confidence and follow-through on this was already wobbling before you were in the room. Whatever he wants from you, he isn't holding it with a sure hand.
• Present — Death (XIII), reversed: the current state is something unfinished that hasn't been let go — an old version of the role, a plan already changed once, a decision he's circling instead of landing.
• Future — Two of Cups, reversed: the trend under that condition is a *mismatched* connection — terms that don't line up between you, or an offer that sounds like partnership and lands like an obligation.

Two-thirds Major Arcana: this is a question about structure and identity, not scheduling. Read together, the line says: an offer can come out of this, and what comes out of it will be a version of something he hasn't finished reshaping — so read the shape, not the warmth.

I can't tell you what he's thinking or what he'll name as a number; the cards only read what's visible from your side — the pauses, the re-worded terms, the second conversation about the same thing.

Here's the check, before anything else: if the terms he gives you are specific and settled on his side — a figure, a start date, a scope he doesn't renegotiate in week two — then Strength reversed makes it worth taking seriously as a fresh start. If what comes back is still fuzzy, still "let me think about it," still the same terms in slightly warmer words, then Death reversed is naming it for what it is: an ending he hasn't admitted, and Two of Cups reversed says you'll be the one absorbing the mismatch.

Your step, inside 48 hours: write down the three things you'd need in writing — scope, start date, and who decides — then ask him for them directly, in one message. Not a test, not a probe: a plain ask. Whatever he sends back is the only honest answer to "what will he offer me," and it beats any spread.
