Tarot: should you get back with your ex?
This is your decision, and the cards will not take it from you. What they can do is separate what you genuinely miss from what you are simply used to.
Before you draw
Three Steps to Center Before Drawing
Settle in
Take a quiet moment, relax your shoulders, and let the noise fade.
Hold your question
Focus on what you genuinely care about. Ask how to respond rather than predicting an outcome.
Look at the card
Take in the colors and gestures for a few seconds before reading the explanation.
Missing them or missing the habit
The hardest part of this question is telling the person apart from the routine. A draw helps you lay both on the table: the specific things you loved, and the general comfort of not being alone. They are not the same, and they deserve different answers.
Pick a spread in the drawing room, flip each card, then read its page for the full upright and reversed meaning.
Cards that weigh this choice
Judgement asks what the relationship taught you and whether the lesson is finished. Six of Cups is the pull of the past. The Lovers is the choice itself. Justice asks for honesty about why it ended, and Eight of Cups is the strength to keep walking if walking is right.
The condition that matters
If you go back, something has to be different — in them, in you, or in the terms. A useful draw asks what that difference would be. If you cannot name it, the cards are telling you something: you may be reaching for the past because the future is harder to picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the cards tell me yes or no?
They will not decide for you — but they will show you what you are actually weighing, which usually makes the decision obvious.
What if the draw looks hopeful?
Treat it as a mirror, not a green light. Ask what would need to change for a return to work — and whether that change is realistic.
What if it looks painful?
Painful cards name what is already true. If the draw hurts, the hurt was there first — now you can see it clearly enough to decide.
