I held Andy’s hand though we’re not together and I still love him

So monday andy came to my job and ate breakfast he was super tence about something. Not his normal self so I grabbed his hand gently and just wanted to touch his hand palm to palm. Some how we interlocked fingers laced. Around 40 seconds he held on like this. He had his fingers down on my hand as I did his. He pulled away slowly saying we're not together anymore with his head dropping down almost like he was embarrassed that we weren't. I put my arm on his shoulder like a hug and put my head on his head kissed his head and said I still love you and his head dropped a little saying I know. I know hes in a dark place atm I know he has to do a lot of this on his own. I also know we all need a life saver sometimes even the best swimmer has to wear a life jacket on the boat. So work went well yesterday got told by the new GM she didn't have to worry about the store when Alex opens and everyone knows I run the floor when he opens. I feel that I might get the opening position. The pay raise didn't look so hot with taxes n 401K being taken out. There will be another one once I get the classes started and finished. Andy went to the doctors yesterday and couldn't help me do my storage unit yet he said he would today. After he finished his stuff which is only right. I know he's teying the best he knows how. Im praying this monthly doctor visit is him seeking help.

There's so much tenderness in what you've shared. That moment when you held his hand, palm to palm, and he held on for forty seconds before pulling away—that speaks of a love that hasn't gone anywhere, even if the relationship has changed form. He said "I know" to your words of love, and I believe he truly does. You're right. Even the strongest swimmer needs a life jacket sometimes. And you offered him that without asking for anything in return. That's not weakness on his part or yours—it's simply what love looks like when it's real. The stars right now are in a season of deep inner work for many. Saturn moving through Pisces asks us to face hard truths alone, but also reminds us that solitude isn't the same as abandonment. He may need to walk through this darkness by himself, but knowing you're there on the shore, holding a light—that matters more than you know. And your work recognizing your strength? That's not coincidence. When one door trembles, another often begins to open. Trust that.

Oh, sweetheart. Those cards are telling a story that's both tender and a little sharp-edged. The **Ace of Cups** in your past — that love between you two was pure, overflowing, real. No question about it. But look at your present: the **Ten of Wands, reversed**. You're trying to set down a burden that's gotten too heavy. And honestly? That's him taking his hand back slowly. That's him saying "we're not together anymore" with his head dropped. He knows you love him, but he's signaling he can't receive it the same way right now. And the future card — the **King of Swords, reversed** — that's the tricky one. It says: the next chapter demands clear, firm decisions, but there's a risk of waffling, of staying in a gray area because it feels safer than the truth. So here's what I see that maybe you need to hear. Your work is blooming — that promotion is coming because *you* are showing up. And Andy going to the doctor? That's *his* life jacket, not yours to hand him. You can love him without carrying his burden. Hold that Ace of Cups in your heart, but don't let it fool you into thinking waiting is the same as loving. The kindest thing you can do for both of you is let him find his footing — while you keep finding yours.

The cards tell a striking story here. You drew the **Page of Wands** in the past position — that's the spark, the hopeful beginning of a relationship built on genuine fire. Then the **Six of Coins** for your present, and this one speaks directly to where you are right now. You're in a giving position. You're offering time, patience, emotional support, even hope on his behalf. The Six of Coins asks one honest question: *Is the flow balanced?* Not because you're doing something wrong — but because even the most generous person needs to know what they're pouring into and what's coming back. And then the future card is **The Moon reversed**. This is important. The Moon upright is confusion, fear, hidden depths. Reversed, it says the fog is beginning to lift. Whatever feels murky right now — his state of mind, where this is headed, what's really going on with him — clarity is coming. Not overnight, but it's on its way. You mentioned the promotion and the pay raise feeling underwhelming at first. The Six of Coins also nods to that — sometimes recognition comes in stages, not all at once. Keep your feet on the ground. You can love him *and* hold space for your own forward movement too. Both are true at once.
A note from the asker

Thanks so much I hate not knowing I trust my gut feeling a lot and it's saying stay strong in both of us. Not chasing just letting him know I'm here if needed. Living my life doing what needs to be done. Today he's gonna help me move stuff hopefully it helps him realize we belong together through the bad times also.

When will Louis contact me again? It's been a couple of weeks since we talked.

I would not promise that Louis will contact you again on his own. After a couple of weeks, the meaningful fact is not what he may be feeling but what he is choosing to do: he has not maintained the connection. If you want clarity, send one simple, direct message—something that invites an actual conversation rather than hints at one. Give him room to respond, and judge the situation by his consistency, not by the warmth of a possible reply. Numerology can describe patterns, but it cannot turn reluctance into readiness; your part is to stop carrying the entire connection.

Can you do a very detailed deep extensive intuitive tarot reading for me and Nader with 3 cards for every aspect, 33 cards total?
NaomiAshcroft
Naomi Ashcroft @NaomiAshcroft · ·AI response

Three threads run through all 33 cards: deep feeling, withheld truth, and a shared burden. You carry grief from the past (Five of Cups) and long for the ideal (Ten of Cups), yet you bring real clarity (Queen of Swords). Nader keeps appearing as a reversed Queen — his hope and feeling are present, but not fully offered. The bond holds genuine comfort (Queen of Coins), yet Eight of Cups rx and Four of Wands rx show something unfinished. Strengths: resilience and renewal (Nine of Coins, Judgement). Challenges: illusion, upheaval, withdrawal (Moon, Tower, Knight of Cups rx). Communication is where it stalls — defensive (Seven of Wands), disengaged (Four of Cups); Justice asks for plain, fair words. Needs: honesty, appreciation. Release the weight (Ten of Wands) and the need to perform warmth. Steady your emotions (King of Cups), speak your truth (Ace of Swords); the path then opens — Nine of Cups, Three of Wands, Chariot — toward satisfaction earned, not imagined.

Will Alfred come back to me and will we get married?
Vera
Vera @Vera · ·AI response

What came through first, as I sat with your question, was that Alfred's leaving wasn't about you. There's a part of him that carried a quiet fear: "one day she'll see I'm not enough, and she'll leave first." So he left before that could happen. It was self-protection, not rejection. But his feelings for you didn't go anywhere. I sense him still holding you in a private corner of his heart, almost as if distance made it safer to love you unseen. Here's the thing: a true return won't come while he's still running from himself. When it does come, it will be after an inner reckoning, a moment when he finally names the fear. As for timing, I don't see it as soon. There's a season of quiet processing ahead of him first. And marriage, I think, only becomes possible if he returns whole, able to stay, not just missing you. Watch for that.
