Rekindling a forgotten relationship
I would say this forgotten relationship you have with this other party seems to be a little confusing, like there’s a push and pull. There /seems to be poor communication between the both of you and that can be what had made this relationship drift apart. It’s not that you guys have outgrown each other or a difference in interests but rather your communication channels aren’t open to each other. So stuff like waiting for each other to initiate the conversation but the both of you may not put in the effort to reach out can be why this relationship has grown apart. Or perhaps there was once miscommunication or misunderstanding between the both of you and while the both of you have moved past that, the impact/hurt still lingers, both of you may feel like you can’t click with each other anymore and the relationship slowly fizzles out.
Yet, deep inside, there’s a longing to connect with each other again. Sometimes, you may cross their mind for a second or they may cross your mind. The both of you may end up thinking about each other and what you guys are doing now, what’s happening in your lives now. There’s a slight hurt when the both of you see each other living lives without each other and there’s a wish of being in their lives again. Yet, both of you are afraid to approach each other, after all, you guys haven’t talked for so long, who knows what they may think of you and vice versa. Perhaps the both of you may wish to apologise to each other as well but you may not know how to start or even bring up the topic.
The Ace of Swords reversed gently advises the both of you (or at least you) to reach out despite the doubt. Take the initiative to reconnect and try to clear the air with them. It may feel random to them, like why are you suddenly reaching out all of a sudden. Right now, self doubt, overthinking and the lack of confidence is stopping the both of you from reaching out to each other, but just that one leap of faith can do wonders. They may not answer right away as well, perhaps taking the time to craft their answer or just letting you message sit for a while. But all that matters is that you took the initiative and reached a hand out. I can’t predict for sure if your initiative will work out but at least you tried and it’s the effort that counts.
Forging a new relationship
Now when it comes to forging new relationships, The Hierophant indicates a more traditional way of meeting and connecting with new people, especially in this era of digital technology. The Hierophant also suggests a more professional relationship with someone on authority perhaps a mentor or a teacher (not necessarily older, can be of similar age range) that you may meet in mutual work spaces, something of a student-teacher relationship. But of course, relationships aren’t just limited to just romantic, platonic or professional. This person isn’t the only relationship that you will forge as you will come across many different people in your life. Even your new friend can take on a mentor-like role, sharing guidance and insight.
And with more traditional ways of forging the relationship, I would say stuff like bonding over mutual interests or work will help elevate the relationship. So perhaps, asking them to show you the ropes of their work or asking them to teach you while listening attentively to them can help bring them out of their shell. Alternatively, you can also do the same and share your knowledge with them. Learning and teaching mutually would be the core of this relationship.
Ultimately, this relationship will be built on stability and tradition. There is potential for it to be long-lasting as well. It’s also a sign of new beginnings and the excitement and commitment that comes along with building a relationship from the ground up, be it the type of relationship it is. And when the both of you meet each other, it can seem like understanding each other comes pretty easily, with the way that you guys may have mutual shared values that align well with each other. This would be the core foundation into building the relationship up.

Rekindling a forgotten relationship
It seems that the both of you regret letting this relationship fizzle out and forgotten. Even when grown apart, perhaps due to not having the time for each other or that you’ve outgrown this relationship. Whatever the reason is, the both of you still think of each other fondly and there’s a wish to reconcile with each other. So whether it’s either you or them, they’re open to reconnection and perhaps think of it regularly even if their thoughts don’t translate into actions. They may be thinking of reconciling but they have never put the thoughts into action and reach out to you or vice versa. This card also points towards a romantic relationship that may have ended on mutual (and good) terms, it had potential but was never explored more. Although it’s not limited by being a romantic relationship alone.
The both of you may have a tendency to be over-idealistic about the outcomes of this reconnection if it ever happens. Perhaps how the both of you can click instantly or the expectation of either of you reaching out on a random day. Yet, idealism is just a dream without action. There could be a slight hint of disappointment when you guys don’t meet each other’s expectations in terms of reconciliation/reconnection. But even then, the both of you still hold on to hope that your dream event of rekindling this relationship shows up.
The Knight of Cups wants to gently advise the both of you (or at least you) not to over-idealise this relationship as the reality can often hit harder than the dreams that both of you have for each other. The relationship dynamics may not be the same anymore since you guys last talked, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth to try and reconnect. The both of you just need a little courage and push to send a text to each other, even a small “hi!” can go a long way. This little gesture of care can be the catalyst to a reconnection.
Forging a new relationship
As for the Knight of Pentacles, this new relationship that you may forge is potentially a professional one where the both of you are with each other for mutual benefit. It has the potential to grow more than just a professional relationship into something like a platonic or romantic one, where the both of you see each other as not just “business partners” but also friends/partners that the both of you can confide in, in terms of personal matters.
As for the development of this relationship, it can be slow at first, perhaps the both of you are cautious of each other. But as you get to know each other, you may find that the both of you have shared values and are able to click well together, although it may not be instant. But it would seem that the both of you have the same goal and will “team up” together to work towards that goal. And as you guys spend time together, you may notice that this relationship of mutual benefit can grow into something deeper and lasting, in the sense that you guys can start to trust each other even while taking this relationship slow. You would find that the other party is just as loyal as you are to this relationship and willing to make it work. They’re not the type of betray or backstab, for a quick buck, preferring the stability of this relationship or fleeting things such as wealth and other similar things.
And as for the both of you, this card would be the definition of ride or die. The relationship that you two will forge may not be loud or flashy but you will have each other’s backs as long as you live, even if the both of you decide to stay professional and not go any deeper. Of course, there can be impatience of wanting the relationship to develop faster but the magic lies in the quiet patience. Although you (or the other party) may feel frustration that the relationship is developing slower than your other relationships, the payoff is worth your time. So there’s no rush in this new relationship that you’re forging, let things unfold naturally and remember that the quality of the relationship over the quantity of relationships. As long as the both of you put in consistent effort in the relationship, it will grow.

Rekindling a forgotten relationship
Ace of Pentacles reversed
So at first glance, this forgotten relationship seems to be a missed opportunity to develop this relationship deeper. It had potential but it never went any deeper than both of you being acquaintances or a little more than that. The main reason for the both of you drifting away could be the lack of focus and energy in this relationship, perhaps a lack of interest as well being invested into the relationship.
And it feels as if the both of you (or at least you) regret not putting in more effort into this relationship, due to the potential rewards that you can reap. And I say this in a way that is this relationship can potentially benefit you (out of self-interest) if you had put in the effort to cultivating it. So it could have been a professional relationship or something even deeper that you missed out on. And seeing others benefit from their relationship with the other party may have left a sour taste in your mouth. It felt like it was something that was within your grasp but you had let go too soon.
Rekindling this forgotten relationship is entirely possible. You just have to take the leap of faith and reach out to them. Right now, you may be hesitant to reach out, afraid of the awkwardness of rejection when you plan to approach them. You may be afraid of their unexpected reaction when you want to rekindle this relationship, even if it’s just for your own benefit. But in reality, just be honest and transparent with your intentions when interacting with them. If you’re there for mutual benefit (or even if your intentions are more practical or self-driven), then it’s fine to say that. They would appreciate the honest truth. Don’t be afraid to tell them the truth, honesty can go a long way with them.
Lastly, even if they decide not to rekindle this relationship, at least you’ve tried to express yourself and gotten the feeling off your chest. That way, you won’t carry around the weight of regret, knowing that you’ve tried. Both of you would be able to close this chapter gracefully.
Forging a new relationship
With forging new relationships, you may have been closed off to this idea for a while now. But take this as a sign to start opening yourself up to this idea of making new friends or even get yourself into a romantic relationship (if you feel ready of course). Perhaps you feel comfortable with what you have right now, in terms of relationships and more would just be too much to handle, or that you’ve been trying to move on from a bad ending of a relationship, but this card appears when you’re ready to step out into the world rather than just staying in your comfort zone.
You’re much more ready for new relationships than you think and this card is indicating an influx of new relationships waiting for you as you step out of your comfort zone. They’re being handed to you as people have been waiting for you to open up and forge relationships with them. It’s encouraging you to accept them. Once you’ve taken even just one step out, you may notice that your interest in relationships, be it platonic or romantic will be renewed, slowly but surely. The excitement of chasing and cultivating one will encourage you to open up more for new relationships rather than just focusing on what you have now and what you have lost.
Lastly, there’s no need to rush the process in making new friends or delving straight into the dating scene. It’s normal to still be skeptical of people, especially if you’ve experienced a bad ending. But the most important thing is that you’re stepping out of the cocoon of isolation that you’ve been in to heal and now you’re ready to take a step forward in reconnecting with people.
