Hey, I just found your account! And I was hoping for a reading.
So, I (Rutuja C) have a crush his initials are A.P, and I’ve had a crush on him for almost two years, i texted him last year and he did reply, but the conversation felt dry so I literally only liked his last message and left the convo 😭, but now my crush is resurfacing and I followed him again on Instagram, and he followed me back. The problem is, he seems #woke from his stories, they are all well meaning and very political (the reason I started liking him) but last year I asked our mutual friend about him (S. D) ( she also used to have a crush on him, she told me) and she said I deserve better, he broke off things with someone cause of “class issues” and and Im so confuseddd, he’s never shown any “classist” attitude, all other people he knows thinks he’s a really good guy. Idk what to do? I like him, and he followed me back everytime I followed him, which is twice lol.
Give me some insight, does he like me? Or notice me? Could something happen between us? Was he dry through text cause he’s nervous or he’s not interested..? Is the mutual friend lying?
Sorry for such a big ask!!
I only have two things to say regarding your situation that are non-tarot related. 1) you should always match someone’s energy. Never give more than you give back, this is how you protect your energy. Also, always believe that someone’s actions are reflecting their thoughts and emotions, if they are misaligned that is not your issue to solve but theirs. 2) you should only form your opinion of others based on your own interactions with that person. Idk I think that’s how people get misunderstood. It’s because people trust word of mouth so often and for too long, kinda like telephone where at the end of the line, the end message typically never matches the beginning message. In this way, I think it is always better to give people the benefit of the doubt until you know for certain with your own eyes by interacting with them. Okay, onto the cards!
8 of swords reversed (you) - 3 of pentacles (energy between) - 5 of pentacles reversed (A.P)
This was an oddly positive pull compared to what I was expecting lol. You are represented by the 8 of swords reversed. This card represents the opposite of what is depicted by the artwork, which is a woman tied and blindfolded, with blood drenching her clothes. Typically, in the upright position, this conveys ideas of being trapped or powerless, however, in the reversed, it is the opposite. So, this card is telling me that you feel some type of empowerment, possibly facing fears. This card also has a theme of being a survivor. I was surprised by this card because of the guidance you are seeking in your question, I feel like you lack a level of clarity that would lead to this level of empowerment. However, it has been a couple weeks since you have submitted this ask, so I wonder if you have reached a level of clarity on your own. I say this because there is a level of maturity that comes with this card. It's like after struggling for so long, you are able to remove the blindfold and see the steps you need to take in order to promote your own growth. Relating back to A.P., I sense that you might have come to your own revelations about these questions yourself. Overall with this card, I sense that you might have had some revelation regarding A.P., or have come to some realization about an action you may need to take with him. This could be positive or negative. For instance, you might realize you have genuine feelings for him and decide to pursue him more consistently, or it could be the opposite where you feel his feelings aren't mutual and you have decided to move on. I sense something of this nature, not these exact instances. Also, I am not sure if you are fully conscious of this awareness that I see yet, if not, its definitely somewhere in your subconscious waiting for your permission to be fully manifested in your consciousness. I can definitely see it there though.
Next, A.P. is represented by the 5 of pentacles reversed. This card is about overcoming adversity and positive changes. Kind of similar to your card, in some sense, in which A.P. is also transforming from a place of negative energy to positive- though in a different sense. Contrasting your card, which I sense was more in the source of a revelation, A.P. seems to be more of a physical transformation. Hmm.. I sense that he was experiencing some personal trouble with his personal life, I see something more physical like, environment-wise, rather than something more rooted in emotion such as struggling with social life. However, it could be something with his home life. I just see him being kicked by multiple different factors in his environment. You would know more than me, but I think he is moving past this and is on the rise. Relating to love, I think romantically he might be more open to it than he has in a while, but I can't say he is completely OPEN to it.
One thing I wanted to say regarding both of your energies is that they are kind of coming across the same. I actually feel like the two of y'all are kind of similar. I sense that the both of y'all are very sharp people, like very smart. Maybe witty, maybe very book smart. But I sense this mutual, idk what to call it but like mutual wavelength? It's almost like a mutual understanding. You know the saying "game recognizing game"? I'm kind of getting those vibes here, lol. I think I sense him being a little more sharper than you but I see you being more... perspective? Like you are able to take in more, internalize it and understand it. That trait will serve you well in life.
Before I interpret the energy between y'all there is something that is coming up in this reading and the reading I tried to do for you the other day. I get a strong business or job energy between the two of y'all. This may sound odd but I get more of a business vibe from this dynamic, haha. Like maybe you should not be romantic partners but something more professional. Could relate to school work as well. Idk how to really describe it but it could be the sharpness I am picking up on. Also... are you competitive with this person? If not, I really do feel like you each have eyes on each other even if the other person doesn't realize it. Now, for the energy between I pulled the 3 of pentacles... which is known as the job card, haha. This card is about teamwork, collaboration, shared goals: things of that nature. The funny thing is, I don't know if I can see him being a complete team player yet, as in being emotionally invested. I do sense that he is a social person, probably has a lot of friends, or is at least on good social footing. However, I don't know if he completely internalizes those relationships... Relating to your dynamic, I think that good communication is possible (though I know that kind of goes against what you were saying above) but I see it more in the intellectual sense. I think if you were to have good conversations with this person, it would be very intellectually stimulating.
I'm sorry to say it, but I think the one thing that was really confusing me when I tried to read for this question in the past was that it's odd how I really feel like no romantic energy at all. I think this reading really solidified that what I am picking up on is not romantic but really like this "game recognizing game" type of thing lol. I think there is definitely mutual respect here. He definitely sees you as someone smart and capable and I think you do for him as well. Another thing I am picking up on this guy is that he is definitely logical, maybe bordering on snob... like a little bit? I am trying to be as respectful as possible, but I can't really think of another word. I wouldn't say smart-ass, but there is an energy of trying to take an intellectual higher ground with this guy. Best way I could describe it is using this classmate I knew from college. They were like WICKED smart and fun to talk too. However, I have this one vivid memory of talking with them and a few other classmates, two who LOVED Taylor Swift, and they were talking about how excited they were for her new album. This classmate proceeds to talk about how Taylor Swift is a white supremacist, maybe even called her a nazi-supporter. They were pulling out the receipts and everything. This obviously really upsetting for my classmates who liked Taylor Swift. Now I want to say that I am NOT calling Taylor Swift these things- I literally know nothing about her besides her music. If you agree with this statement: great. If you disagree: great. The point I am making is, did they really have to say these things about Taylor Swift? I don't think they went harm by this, truly, I think they were just trying to spread "awareness" about this issue, but it was obviously very upsetting to some people. That's what I am trying to get at with this guy here that you like. It's like they will always take the intellectual higher ground, instead of letting people talk about what they love and what are passionate about. Sorry for the long story for the short explanation, haha.
In all, yeah, I am not getting a whole lot of romantic energy here. This makes me want to ask you this: do you really like this guy? Or does he just have some qualities that you like? It's like, yeah, you can think someone is attractive but not have a crush on them. Similarly, you can like that someone shares your political beliefs, but does that mean you like them? I would say that similar political beliefs are like the bare minimal- just putting that out there.
I'm very curious if any of this resonated for you. Thank you so much for your patience with your reading, I know it took me a few days and then some, haha. Please let me know if you have any questions!!
