Hello Brambles, thank you so much for your patience on this reading while I got back into the swing of tarot reading after my hiatus, and thank you for resending the question and information more in accordance to my guidelines. I would like to preface this once more with the fact that I am not good at these sorts of readings, so there is a higher chance that I am off somehow. Having said that, I picked out the Tarot of Bones by Lupa Greenwolf for this reading, and drew the Queen of Pentacles upright and the World reversed.

The Pentacles are the suit of vertebrae in this deck. The Queen, an opossum skull, rules it among a border of moss and birch cones. This is a card indicating someone working hard to make ends meet and put in the work. They do their job and bring home the bacon, handle caring for those who rely on them, and lead by example. This is a card about grounding - not the kind of grounding where your parents take away your phone, but rather the sort that tells you to settle down and focus. It's a sign to work through whatever has you in a tizzy and calm down, taking your own practical steps to deal with whatever's got you nervous.

The World depicts a (replica) hawksbill sea turtle shell in the center of a circle of seaweed. Four stones bearing elemental sigils sit in the corners. When it's topsy-turvy and reversed like this, it's an indication of being set in one's ways to their own detriment. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to completing something is you getting in your own damn way, you know? Sometimes that refusal to move on shoots you in the foot. Something needs to be dealt with.

Hm. There are a couple different ways to read all of this. Let's go over a few, shall we?

This reading could be a check-up for S indicating his current status: busy and moved on, regardless of whatever interactions you two had before. Possibly involving him working on a personal project that leaves him without time to interact.

This reading could be a message to you, asking you to take the step first towards S to reconnect and talk. Just the two of you, potentially. Nothing wrong with the reminder that you can move yourself across the great chess board of life.

This reading could be asking you to look at the other relationships you have with various spirits and checking to see if you have the time, energy, and resources for balancing another if you were to reconnect with S at this point.

This reading could just be completely off. I'm not exactly a mind reader nor am I a spirit detective of any sort, so I'm kind of relying on my tarot deck to haul most of the load here.

And, hell, there are probably more. I'm just here to give you the cards, I don't know enough about your situation to say for sure which one it is. I just hope that this has helped somehow. I wish you the best, Brambles! Good luck with whatever route you go down!
