Why do I keep being reminded of someone

No — the pull isn't attachment. It's a stance you never stood down from. The cards put fire in two of three seats, and fire is doing, not longing; if this were missing someone, the reading would have shown water.

• Past — Nine of Wands, upright. Before this started, you were the one still on guard: alert, braced, expecting the next hit after it was already over. That posture sticks in the body longer than the person does.
• Present — Wheel of Fortune, reversed. The turn never completed. This is the interruption card, not the arrival card: the thing that happens when a cycle doesn't get allowed to close, so it re-runs on its own schedule instead of on yours.
• Future — Ten of Wands, upright. If nothing changes, each recurrence adds weight rather than feeling. You'll be carrying it, not missing them.

If the reminders arrive attached to something concrete — an unfinished task, an old group chat, a name tied to a place you'd still have to go — then this is the Nine holding a post that's been abolished, and it clears when you do or name that one item. If they arrive with nothing attached at all, just a face and no handle, the reversed Wheel is the whole answer: you're reading each occurrence as a message, and the repetition is what makes it feel meaningful.

Before bed tonight, write down the next three times it happens — the time, what you were doing that minute, and whether anything concrete came with it. That log tells you which of those two it is, and cards can't.
