What does my ex feel for me?

Past: The Fool reversed. Present: Ten of Cups. Future: The Hanged Man upright.

One thing to set down first: cards don't report what's inside another person's head. What these three can read is the shape of the ending, what's actually visible in their behavior, and what you're putting into that question.

The Past is a jump that didn't land — The Fool reversed, a leap either avoided or entered without packing. Whatever the relationship was, it didn't close as a completed thing; it closed as something left mid-step. That much sits on your side of the line as much as theirs.

The Present is the Ten of Cups: a complete, finished picture of harmony and belonging. Read conditionally — if what they actually show you in practice is settled and whole (a life that looks closed, easy, untroubled), then the card is describing that picture, not a reaching-back. If instead what shows is loose ends and unfinished business, then the Ten of Cups is what you're projecting into the seat, not what they're handing you. You can tell those two apart from the record, not from the cards.

The Future is The Hanged Man, and it's the most useful card here. If the present keeps running as it is, the tendency is suspension — a pause that doesn't resolve into a move, in either direction. Not a door opening, not a slam. Just a hanging.

So: the reading doesn't say they're coming back, and it doesn't say they're not. It says the situation as it currently stands has no motion in it, and motion would have to come from somewhere other than the cards.

Your step, inside 48 hours: pick one concrete thing you'd call them reaching toward you — a question they asked, an effort they made, a plan they followed through on — and go check whether it actually exists in the last month of contact. Message threads, who ended the last conversation, whether small promises got kept. Read the record, don't stage a scene to produce a new data point.
