@onlythegoodthingsCard 1: the present, questioner, theme, starting point
(Seven of Swords)
Meaning: Useless attempt, vain effort
Your starting point is mirrored in Seven of Swords. Even though you have a wish to reconcile with M.M. you feel that the situation is rather stagnant. You don’t know how to take the past and transform it into the future. Deep within you, you may feel that this is an opportunity that has passed. Like you’ve missed the train and are standing on the station platform with you bags packed but there’s no transportation there to take you to your desired destination.
Card 2: the momentary obstacles
(Prince of Cups (R)
Meaning: Mysterious, inconsiderate, idealized love
Here are your lover in reverse. It’s again, like you can see and sense him like a mirage, but you don’t know how to reach him, which is your obstacle: How do you take this man of your dreams to the physical reality of your everyday life? Has he moved on? What is he doing? Who is he with?
Card 3: the motivation or reason to ask the question
(Strength)
Meaning: Energy, enjoying the dance of life, strength
I feel the Strength in reverse and the motivation for asking the question is that your patience is running out. You want something to happen and you have the energy, motivation and strength to do so but again: How?
Card 4: the past, decreasing influences
(Hanged Man (R)
Meaning: Overcoming obstacle through devotion, sacrifice, surrender, stagnation
The decreasing influence is Hanged Man, which in this spread seem to reflect the stagnation of the past. It has been a situation that has largely been standing still, much like this man, hanging upside down from a branch, thinking, but not moving. This situation has been going on and has been replaying in your mind for a long time, but now might be the time to finally move forward.
Card 5: the potential, possible development
(Ten of Pentacles (R)
Meaning: Lively habits, venture, danger
The potential development points to you trying something out of your comfort zone to reach this person. You will, perhaps, finally reach out to him, or he, to you.
Card 6: the future, increasing influences
(Ace of Wands)
Meaning: Beginning, source, expressing yourself, going for it
There will be a new, powerful beginning with Ace of Wands. You could either decide to contact him or again - he, to contact you. With this wand there is communication, something starts again, new energies, risk taking. Whatever it is you want, this card urges you to go for it.
Card 7: the person of the questioner, previously unknown aspects (in connection with card 3) (what he/she feels)
(Princess of Swords) (clarifier for feelings 5 of pentacles x2)
Meaning: Conscious, skillful, powerful
The air influenced Princess of Swords turned up in M.M’s position, which could point to a willingness on his part to communicate. For his feelings for you I got 5 of Pentacles - from both my decks. This seems to be a clear indicator that he too thinks this situation is fruitless. He might have given up on it, because of lack of development, but that doesn’t have to mean that he isn’t interested, but he felt left out in the cold. Things didn’t develop the way he would have wanted too, so he has a bleak outlook on the relationship, because sometime, somewhere he lost faith that it was ever going to happen. But with this Princess, I think he’d be more than willing to communicate if he was given the opportunity.
Card 8: the surroundings of the questioner, how the questioner or the situation is perceived by others
(The Hermit (R)
Meaning: Seclusion, solitude
You might be feeling a bit down and lonely. From the outside the situation might look ineffectual, but that’s only because things aren’t moving forward at the moment, but with the Ace in the increasing influences position you two have all the opportunities in the world, but only if you utilize the power of the wand and take action.
Card 9: the hopes and fears of the questioner
(Magician)
Meaning: Determination, initiative
Your hopes is that you will have enough determination to turn this situation around and the Magician gives you the skill to do that. He’s a master of words, so use them to get your desired outcome.
Card 10: a summary or an aspect that will become meaningful (future/outcome)
(Prince of Swords)
Meaning: Fast, clever, courages, agile
The Prince and Princess of communication mirrors each other in the 7th and 10th position, thus, both you and him are more than willing to start communicating again and it’s a good indication for mutuality.

I hope my reading was somewhat giving onlythegoodthings and I wish you the best of luck. This was my first Celtic Cross spread and hopefully I will find ways to refine it as I practice it. Thank you for letting me read for you!
