Okay, new experiences (as I'm now using Hadar vs. Fournier).
I've been shuffling all day - it's such an enjoyable deck to shuffle - and pulling cards to just observe. At one point I pulled the valet de coupes, with the Star underneath the pile (I tend to look at the top and bottom card, after doing a 3-pile cut). In this deck the
valet is peering at his cup, but his scarf has blown over the top of it, hiding it.
"isn't that interesting, I wonder what it means..."
I decided to ask the deck for a top and bottom card which indicate what my ex-boyfriend feels when he thinks about me - and after much shuffling and the same 3-pile cut, I pulled: the SAME two cards in the SAME positions - the valet/cups on the top, the star on the bottom.
Oh dear.
So I threw another astrological spread, this time asking "if I email/contact CC, will we end up getting back together?". I figured that was enough of a yes/no question...
(I'm sorry that I haven't figured out how to post pics yet, this will have to do)

Okay, now to delineate.
I'm the Wheel of Fortune, which was also my card for the day. It would truly be a turn of the wheel if we got back together (and IMO highly unlikely), because I'm the one who broke it off in the first place because he was (3 batons) a workaholic and unavailable. Thus far it looks like a "highly unlikely) - until I notice that he passes to house 2 with the 3 of cups! Whaa? I also notice that the 6 spokes in the center of the wheel look just like the 3 batons. hmmm. But it's still a baton, and a terrible one at that (since the batons and swords get worse as the numbers get smaller). If we got back together it would take a HELL of a lot of work on his part to convince me that things would be different. I was thinking about this spread while walking the dog just now, and I cannot *imagine* a scenario where I would feel he'd changed enough.
Looking further at the spread, I notice that the Empress (III) is in the 8th house - another 3! - imagine that. I don't know if that counts or not, but it seems significant to me - and I notice the Queen/cups in the 6th - creating a sextile to the Empress.
But all that seems moot, because there are no 10s in the spread... unless you count the Wheel passing to the ace/swords (1) + the fool (0). Now, the relationship always was very long distance (ace/swords in 9), and I practically killed myself traveling (he was too busy to do much of that - workaholism), and I'm not sure what to do with the fool.
If I was reading this for someone else, I'd say that it seems that he would be willing to do the hard work to come to you (3 cups in 2), but I don't think that you're going to contact him, because you know that it would be a return to something that you've outgrown.
