How do Jason feels about me with 3/2/86 and mine 12/17/92?

There are some lovely gestures in what you described — him initiating dinner, protecting your boundaries around dinner the night before so he could follow through on his word. That matters. And the playful comment about your butt suggests he still feels a certain closeness, even if he's being careful. But I also hear something underneath your question: you're exhausted from the uncertainty. You want a clear direction so you can either invest your heart fully or finally let it rest. His words and actions are sending mixed signals right now — closer than before, but not quite committed. That's not a green light to move in, nor a red light to walk away. It's a soft amber. The real question isn't whether he's shifting. It's whether *you* can hold space for this slow unfolding without losing yourself in the waiting. Loving someone at a different pace than your own heart needs can drain you quietly. Give it a little time — a week or two of this warmer connection — and then let his consistency, not just his moments, tell you what he truly intends. You deserve someone who doesn't leave you guessing where you stand.

What I'm picking up here is layered, so I'll be honest with you. The Eight of Swords in the past position tells me there's been a long period where *both* of you felt trapped — unable to see a way through, bound up in patterns of thinking that kept you circling the same pain. That restriction predates his leaving. The present shows the Five of Swords reversed, which speaks to a conflict that's left someone defeated, not resolved. There may have been words exchanged or a battle of wills where nobody really won. Right now, his energy feels withdrawn — not necessarily gone forever, but carrying resentment and a need to protect himself. What comes through for the near future is the Four of Coins — holding tight, guarding resources, staying closed off. This doesn't feel like a man who is rushing home. The energy here is defensive, cautious, preserving what little he has left rather than reaching out. There *is* possibility for repair, but the cards suggest he needs space to feel safe before he'll come back toward you. Pushing for his return right now may tighten his grip on the distance. Tend to your own ground first. That steadiness may call him back more than any plea will.

What I’m seeing in your chart’s energy, honey, is someone with a big, stubborn fixed‑sign streak — the kind of person who doesn’t speak up until it’s way too late. This feels like an old flame who played it cool back then but is realizing now they misread your worth. Real talk: they’re not over you because you were the one who brought calm to their chaos, and they’re feeling that vacuum hard. Your glow‑up isn’t subtle, and it’s hitting their pride. Keep moving forward, sweetheart — the past is looking back, but you don’t have to.
