Hi Brendan, I asked what AB's state of mind was when she wanted to end the relationship and I pulled the 10 of Swords and the 3 of Wands. Generally, I'd interpret this to mean that she had been feeling stifled by the relationship for a while. Maybe many things had been going on in her life where her network connections started to build. She may have wanted to branch out more, and felt that the relationship was holding her back. She saw change on the horizon and felt a passionate desire to revamp her life. It sounds like there was little you could have done, as the 10 of Swords points that this was always going to be a mental block for her.
I asked if you guys will reconcile and pulled the Ace of Swords.
The overall spread suggestions renewal after decay. A new perspective - new line of thinking. This suggests strength in the face of adversity. If things are not in your favor now and it seems as if she's winning.. the tides will change soon. You'll overcome the sadness you feel, and you'll become a renewed person.
Though this spread doesn't necessarily point to love reconciliation, but it does mean transformation was a big theme for both of you together, and it's a big theme once you both separated. Sounds karmic, but not necessarily something that would've stood the test of time forever.
I clarified this card and got the 7 of wands.
I have a feeling at some point you guys will be cordial again, but it will take a LOT of work. You may even be intimate again. The 7 of Wands shows future conflict, but the Ace is a good sign. So strange for both questions the wands (passion) and swords (intellect) suit was drawn.
Keep your guard up and trust in the process
