Will We Get Back Together?
Beyond just "will they come back," you want to know if you'll actually reunite as a couple. The cards reveal whether reconciliation leads to a real relationship—or just temporary reconnection.
Strong Reunion Signs
- The Lovers + Six of Cups: Destined to reunite
- Ten of Cups: Happy ending together
- Two of Cups: Balanced return, mutual desire
- Judgement: Both have grown, ready to try again
Temporary Return Signs
- The Devil: Return based on attachment, not growth
- Seven of Cups: Illusions about reunion
- Five of Swords: Return brings more conflict
- Eight of Cups reversed: Coming back for wrong reasons
No Contact Period: What Tarot Reveals
Should you maintain no contact? Will it work? The cards guide you through this difficult period and reveal what's happening energetically while you're apart.
What No Contact Achieves:
- •The Hermit energy: Time for reflection and growth
- •Four of Swords: Healing happens in the space
- •The Star: Hope regenerates during separation
Tarot can show whether no contact is helping or if it's time to break the silence. The cards reveal his energy during separation—is he missing you, moving on, or stuck in indecision? For the full psychology behind why no contact works, read our guide to the no contact rule.
Attachment theory research explains why no-contact feels unbearable for some people: those with anxious attachment experience separation as a threat to survival, triggering "protest behaviors" like constant checking and reaching out. Meanwhile, avoidantly attached partners may feel relief initially, with longing emerging weeks later once their deactivating strategies wear off. This push-pull is the hallmark of the anxious-avoidant trap. Understanding your attachment style adds depth to what the cards reveal about your separation dynamic.
