Today I pulled for the collective Aquarius sign with an ex on their mind.

The question asked of the Universe and Guides was: For the collective sign of Aquarius who has an ex on their mind, what is the true intention of that ex toward the Aquarius?

Cards pulled:

True Intentions: Gaslight – I will deliberately manipulate your perception of reality until you are doubting your own experiences.
Tarot: Temperance, Ace of Wands, The Sun, Seven of Wands, The Chariot.

My interpretation:

Your ex appears to be highly manipulative, primarily seeking your attention through deceitful tactics. The True Intentions card pulled in this reading is the Gaslight card, indicating their intention to distort your perspective, especially regarding the past relationship and its downfall.

To clarify the Gaslight card, we begin with the Temperance card. This suggests that your ex is striving to maintain a facade of composure, showing no emotional response towards you or the breakup. They are likely acting indifferent and detached right now, giving the impression that they are unaffected.

The Ace of Wands further illustrates that your ex has been meticulously planning their manipulation strategy. They have invested significant thought and effort into this plan and have already started executing it. Their goal is to convince you that their life is perfect and happy, as symbolized by the Sun card. This might manifest as overly cheerful social media updates or bragging about how well things are going for them. It’s crucial to recognize that all these displays are intended to affect you emotionally.

Moreover, they may be loudly discussing new romantic interests to instill a sense of competition in you, a tactic represented by the Seven of Wands. They want you to feel compelled to fight for them, creating an illusion of their desirability and availability to others.

Finally, The Chariot card reveals that your ex wants you to believe that they are moving on to a better life without you, projecting an image of progress and success.

Aquarius, the best course of action is to completely ignore this person. Anyone who intentionally seeks to hurt you and manipulate your feelings is not a suitable match. Protect your emotional well-being by steering clear of their games and focusing on your own path forward.
