Using the Tarot to Answer, “Will My Ex Come Back?”
Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Melissa Cynova, author of Kitchen Table Tarot and the new Tarot Elements.
Most long-time tarot readers get an expression on their face when hearing about a client asking the question, “Will my ex come back?” It’s not an unkind reaction, not “No, they won’t.” It’s more of a, “Dear God, when will people start valuing themselves enough to not long for people who hurt them?”
And yeah, ok, a shortened version of that is, “No, they won’t.”
I’ve given this reading many, many times for many, many questions, and after thirty years, I feel qualified enough to offer advice on this subject.
The answer to this is generally (like 98.7% of the time), either A, B, or C.
- No, honey. They’re not coming back. You’re torturing yourself with this hope instead of pointing all of that love and attention where it belongs—on you. Please, please date yourself for six months or so until you are fully healed, shiny, and happy—feet on the ground. If you do this, you’re more likely to pull folks towards you who are also healed, and you can be happy together. Unless you’d rather stay alone, which is awesome indeed.
- No, and you don’t want them back. You want the person that you were when you met them back. That person is gone, and they’re not coming back. You are not the same person, and you are the only one who can rebuild yourself.
- No. And they’re an asshole and you don’t want them back anyway.
The only time I’ve gotten a Yes—no hyperbole here, total honesty—the person came back, then cheated again and left. Again.
As a reader, it’s important to hold compassion and space for our clients. It’s also really important to be honest. Folks generally break up for a really, really good reason, and those reasons don’t just go away because we miss someone. Sometimes, it’s better to figure out how to be alone than to be with the wrong person. All of the energy that you’ll have to pour back into yourself can truly change your life.
Then, if they do come back, maybe you won’t be there anymore waiting around for them.

Wow, ever heard of reconciliation and actually figuring out the problems instead of running from them? Just because someone asks about their ex returning, doesn’t mean it was some terrible falling out. Life is pain and relationships ending is painful, but sometimes people walk away because they just aren’t ready to face themselves, because when you really get close to someone, that’s exactly what you get: a reflection of your own shadow.
Holy smokes, I wouldn’t want a reading from someone this bias!!
I wont get a reading from this reader too..I am also a tarot reader & I often get this kind of question.
When I read the cards, usually I found out that their ex is currently having a new & great life, so I tell my client that we have to consider it as a “No, he is not going back”
In this article, I really liked the phrase: “pointing all of that love and attention where it belongs—on you”. That’s a wise tip. But how do you do that correctly? And who am I? This is sometimes harder to understand. Personally, it helped me a lot to understand this issue when I discovered the knowledge presented in this source https://allatra.tv/en/video/soznanie-i-lichnost . What can be more valuable than gaining true Happiness and Love, which won’t depend on the environment or circumstances?
