1. Person: 9 of Cups and Queen of Cups • The Why/Thoughts: Knight of Wands and Page of Pentacles

This is not a casual viewer. This is someone who feels you.

With the 9 of Cups + Queen of Cups, this person is emotionally invested in you in a way that borders on indulgent. The 9 of Cups is wish fulfillment. So right off the bat, you are someone they enjoy watching. You’re not stressful to them, you’re not confusing at all…you’re satisfying. There’s a sense of “I like what I see, I like how they make me feel, and I keep coming back for more.”

Layer that with the Queen of Cups, and now we’re getting into someone who is deeply intuitive, emotionally aware, and attached quietly. This is not loud obsession. It’s soft fixation. This person picks up on your moods and if your energy shifts in any way whatsoever, they notice. Yes, even through a screen! They read between the lines of your posts. If your tone changes even a tad, they pick up on it. If you disappear, they feel it.

Who is this, realistically?

This points strongly to someone who already has an emotional bond with you. This can be past or present. Someone who understands you, or at least believes they do.

So, this could be somebody you had a romantic or emotional connection with, a situationship that never fully closed, or someone who developed feelings and never said it outright.

Now let’s talk about what’s going on in their head.

With the Knight of Wands + Page of Pentacles, their thoughts are…pretty impulsive, curious, and slightly all over the place.

The Knight of Wands is attraction, desire, and movement. When they look at your page, their first reaction is physical and immediate. Baby, you catch their attention fast. They might feel these urges to reach out, react, or say something that is bold (at least to them)… but they don’t always follow through.

Then the Page of Pentacles grounds it. This is the part of them that slows down and starts observing more carefully. They’re studying you, watching how you move, what you post, what you’re building, and who you interact with. There’s a “let me learn more before I act” energy.

So their thought process looks like they go from, “Damn… they look good.” (Knight of Wands hits first) To then going, “Should I say something?” And then it’s, “No… wait. Let me watch a little more.” (Page of Pentacles steps in) “What are they doing lately? Who are they around? Are they growing? Are they different?”

They go back and forth between wanting to act and choosing to closely observe.

This is someone who checks your page often not just because they like you, but because they’re invested in your evolution. They’re watching your story unfold in real time!

2. Person: Strength, 8 of Wands, 3 of Cups • The Why/Thoughts: Ace of Pentacles reversed, High Priestess reversed

This person is still in your social orbit but now there’s hesitation, delay, and a very intentional pullback in how they engage with you.

With Strength + 8 of Wands reversed + 3 of Cups, we’re still looking at someone connected to you through friends, mutuals, or shared spaces. This isn’t a stranger lurking in the shadows. This is someone who knows you/knows of you, sees you around, or has direct/indirect access to your life.

Here’s the twist. The 8 of Wands reversed shows that their interaction with your content is not natural or free-flowing. They are not reacting quickly, not engaging openly, not liking everything in real time. In fact, it can look like them watching your stories later instead of immediately, viewing but not liking, typing something… and deleting it, and intentionally slowing themselves down.

Then you’ve got Strength, which now hits harder. This is someone actively restraining themselves. Not just casually holding back. They are actually disciplining themselves not to act.

With the 3 of Cups, this still ties them to your social environment. It would be like a friend who pulled back, a mutual who’s keeping distance, and/or someone who used to interact more freely but doesn’t anymore.

This can even be somebody who has to see you in group settings and is trying to “stay normal” while quietly monitoring you online.

Now let’s get into their thoughts because this is where the internal conflict really shows.

With the Ace of Pentacles reversed + High Priestess reversed, this person does not feel secure about what they’re seeing…and they don’t even trust their own read on you.

The Ace of Pentacles reversed shows them being like, “I missed my chance with them.” “This isn’t something I can build on anymore.” “There’s no real opening here… or I messed it up.”

So when they check your social media, there’s already a sense of loss or limitation.

Then the High Priestess reversed comes in messy. This is someone who overanalyzes your posts, reads into things that may not be there, and feels like they “know something” about you… but can’t confirm it.

So their thought process goes from “Let me check… but not too fast.” Then to, “Okay… what are they really trying to say here?” And next, “This feels indirect… is this about me?” Then, “No, I’m probably overthinking… but still…” And finally, “Yeah… I shouldn’t reach out.”

There’s a push-pull happening internally because they want to engage but they feel like they can’t…and instead, they sit back and quietly spiral in interpretation.

This person checks your social media out of controlled curiosity. They’re trying to keep emotional distance while still staying informed.

And if we’re being blunt about it, there looks like a mix of missed opportunity, suspicion, and restraint here.

3. Person: 8 of Pentacles reversed, 9 of Swords • The Why/Thoughts: 4 of Pentacles reversed, Ace of Cups reversed, 3 of Pentacles reversed

This is the heaviest pile and honestly, the most uncomfortable.

With the 8 of Pentacles reversed + 9 of Swords, this is someone who is not doing well…and you are part of what’s on their mind.

The 8 of Pentacles reversed shows someone who feels like they’ve failed, given up, or can’t get it together. There’s insecurity around effort, progress, or self-worth.

Then the 9 of Swords is anxiety, overthinking, and late-night spirals. This person is not casually checking your page. They are doom-scrolling you.

Who is this?

Somebody who feels like they messed something up with you, maybe someone who compares their life to yours and feels behind, and/or a person who associates you with stress, regret, or “what could’ve been.”

Now their thoughts… oh, honey this is where we really get into it.

With the 4 of Pentacles reversed + Ace of Cups reversed + 3 of Pentacles reversed, everything is slipping for them emotionally.

The 4 of Pentacles reversed shows loss of control. When they look at your page, they feel like they’re losing their grip…on emotions, on the situation, and on themselves.

The Ace of Cups reversed is blocked emotion, emotional pain, and even bitterness. There are feelings here that never got expressed properly, or got rejected.

Then the 3 of Pentacles reversed is disconnection, lack of teamwork, and things not working out. They feel like whatever this was between you…it failed.

So their thought process goes like, “I shouldn’t be looking at this…” To, “Why am I still checking?” Next, “They seem fine… better than fine.” Then, “Meanwhile I’m… here.” Or, “We could’ve had something different.” Even like, “Or maybe I just messed it all up.”

This person doesn’t check your page because it feels good. They check because they can’t let go.

There’s regret, comparison, and emotional blockage all tangled together. And every time they look, it reopens something they haven’t healed.
