Did a relationship spread regarding my efforts to reboot a deep relationship I used to have.
I got 3 of Wands clarified by 5 of Cups in the position of "where the other person stands." These cards are solely about her position/possible thoughts on the situation. I have come to 2 possible interpretations but I would like more insight.
I see 3 of wands as representative of her waiting for me to respond to what I perceive as her mixed signals. Basically she is allowing me to have control over what happens next. Followed by the 5 of cups, she misses me and is hoping that I take the opportunity to show continued interest in developing our relationship, as I am the one who reached out first after so much time.
However, I can also see it as meaning that she is looking for something else entirely and has been disappointed to the extent of having no interest in my next attempts at outreach. Basically, my interpretations are either extremely optimistic or very pessimistic. Please provide more insight with your interpretations of this combo.
Hi Leviosa
Well, I'm going to say that the cards aren't so black and white as pessimistic vs. optimistic in this case, though I am more likely to agree with your optimistic interpretation.
I do see the 3 of Wands as her waiting, but also a sort of cautious waiting - she is waiting to see what you will do next, as you had said in your original interpretation of the reading. I am not sure I can comment on the mixed signals aspect, as I imagine that might have something to do with other card/s from the reading - but in general the 3 of Wands definitely embodies waiting, at least to me. However I also tend to interpret the 3 of Wands as waiting in the sense that an action has already been taken (transition from the static 2 of Wands to the moving 3 of Wands), presumably by her in this case. I sort of see this card like her saying, "Well, the ball's in your court" - basically just waiting for your next move based on her initial response.
As for the 5 of Cups, I see it as showing a deep inner conflict in this person, in that they are very hurt emotionally by something that happened in the past, but conflicted because they also remember "the good old days" and aren't really sure which direction to lean to when it comes to re-establishing a relationship with you. In addition to the 3 of Wands, the 5 of Cups seems to be saying that this person's feelings/emotions/decision is still in a state of flux that could potentially be swayed into either direction depending on your response to her/your next move. I'm imagining that this person needs a deep emotional healing from you, in order to re-establish and re-build trust before moving on into the kind of relationship that you had before. But the good news is (at least as I see it by these cards,) all hope is not lost for the restoration of this relationship... it will just require a lot of work to be put in on both ends.
