Question
what are my ex’s feelings for me after how badly things ended between us?
Answer
The cards do not report your ex's mind — but they do show what this connection still has running through it: friction with nowhere to go.
Past: Eight of Wands, reversed — the fast lane that ran between you has stopped. Reversed, that card is speed without an address: something that used to move quickly now sits stalled, messages that wanted to land somewhere don't. Present: Five of Wands, upright — the hinge of this spread. Two people each holding a version of what happened, each one certain the other started it. Nothing here is tenderness; it's unresolved friction that keeps its shape. Future: Ten of Wands, reversed — a burden being put down, or finally admitting it was carried wrong. Under the condition that the Five stays unresolved, this tends toward decreasing load — not reconciliation, just one of you putting something down.
All three are Wands, so fire is the whole channel: this has stayed a thing of action, words, nerve — never a quiet thing. Two reversals against one upright: the energy is on the inside, blocked and slowed, not moving outward.
The judgment, conditional: if what you can actually observe is that messages from you go unanswered or answered thinly, while the argument itself keeps getting re-run in your head, then the Five is still live and this is unfinished business rather than a door reopening. If the thread is genuinely quiet both ways — no contact, no re-opening on either side — then the Ten reversed reads as weight coming off, and it isn't waiting on a sign from you. What the cards cannot supply: whether anything on his side survives that, or when.
Your move, inside 48 hours: open the actual message thread — not your memory of it — and count what's there. How many of your messages got a real reply, how many got one word or silence, how many times the last exchange was reopened by you. That number is something you can look at and cards can't hand you, and it's the honest answer to whether this is a live connection or a loop you're running alone.
