I would like to sit. There's a guy coming around from my past. I would like more insight on this situation as to why he's coming back around and if there's any karmic debt that needs to be worked through?

This deck as two Man and two Woman cards - and we see that this spread starts with the Gentleman and ends with the Gentleman, so this shows that this person indeed is very significant and that there was indeed a 'higher' reason for him to reappear in your life (Key).
As the first two cards we have Man and Grave, showing that this was a relationship that ended, was buried...but there are still things that need to become more clear, that need to be let out in the open, recognized (Sun as root). This person has a purpose in your life to clear your path and kind of push your forward on your way of development (shown in Sun and in Key). Grave shows that this Sun between you two was buried; there was a promise of a new life where both of you could develop your own selves and your own destiny (Sun), but it is like the truth never really got out, it was kept under ground. You were both given the Keys (Key in the past position) to unlock some hidden mystery, some source of energy - and Sun could also point to true love, since Sun as truth and vitality is closely related to love that demands from people to stand truthful and naked in front of each other. This was indeed a significant moment for both of you - and now you are standing in front of the gate to this 'paradise' again (Garden). There is renewed activity and contact between you two and you are standing in front of the decision whether to make this garden flower or not - the Crossroads card as advice shows that this is indeed an important decision and also that you may need to decide between the old ways and the new ways. Will you treat the person/situation in the same way as before or choose a new path? The Crossroads card also shows that there is a path that you need to walk still...the journey continues, you are still walking. It reflects the idea of a pilgrimage that you are taking with this person, and it tells you that the way forward may still be uncertain. The goal is not in sight yet, but what matters is the journey.
So you and this person have a journey to complete, still a path to walk, and there is a promise of a paradise: paradise means also completion or release of the old. It is like you and he buried your light and perhaps cut off an understanding, a lesson, a recognition, also love...and now you need to sow the seeds again.
He shows up as a Lady - he seems to be learning about how to be with a woman, how to relate, how to love...he is integrating female qualities. Also, he falls into your place (Man in the position of Self), and you fall into his place (Lady in his position) - you two indeed reflect each other, mirror each other. And then the outcome is a Man as well, showing him again as significant for your path.
The cards indeed place him on your path, to make something clear for you, so that you discover something about your own self, to see where you are on your journey and where you want to go. Garden is like the end game that he is promising, however, you two still have a journey to make, still is there a lot to discover.
I pulled a card from Wisdom of the Oracle: 38.To Be Fair
Again a card of balance, resembling Justice - and pointing to some kind of karmic harmony that needs to be set. In the image we see an old lady with scales and with an owl on her head. Indeed, this is a learning, possibly karmic connection, where you both reflect issues for each other in order to clear them and finally find your way home.
I hope this helps and resonates.
