What Is My Ex Thinking Right Now? Tarot Signs Explained

By Joanne Jones Founder of Trusted Psychics Love & Relationship Tarot Expert | Established 1992 | 30+ Years Experience.

If the Six of Cups, Page of Cups, Queen of Cups, and Four of Cups appear in a tarot spread, this is normally a sign that your ex-partner is thinking about you.

Most people will have experienced a relationship breakup at some point in their lives. Often, the breakup can be expected, but just because you and your ex have decided to part ways, it doesn’t mean your emotions towards them will disappear.

You will find yourself reminiscing over old memories, questioning things you said and did. Hurtful words are often said in times of anger or bitterness, which are usually regretted seconds later.

We often find ourselves thinking about our ex and asking questions we hope someone can answer.

• What is my ex thinking right now?
• Will my Ex return?
• Do they regret what happened?
• Are they thinking about contacting me?
• Do they still care about me?
• Are they seeing someone else?

Questions like these are incredibly common after a breakup.

An experienced reader can reveal emotional patterns, explore unresolved feelings, and look at how strong the energy is between two people.

What Is My Ex Thinking Right Now? Tarot Meaning

Tarot cards most pulled when asking about what your ex is thinking are the Six of Cups, Page of Cups, Queen of Cups, and Four of Cups. This is a common combination when someone is thinking about memories from their relationship that they still have feelings for.

When multiple cards like this come up in a reading, they typically mean someone is still feeling and processing your connection, even if they say they do not have feelings for their ex.

Tarot Cards That Reveal What Your Ex Is Thinking ♡

There are certain cards that show up all the time when someone is thinking about an ex. Most of these cards signify some type of memory, emotion, curiosity, or regret about decisions made in the past.

Six of Cups – Thinking About the Past

When the Six of Cups is pulled in a reading, an experienced reader will interpret this as someone who is thinking about memories that you two shared, and that they still have hidden feelings.

If this card appears during a love reading, it often suggests someone is reminiscing about the past and the good times you shared together.

Common meanings include:

• Reminiscing about happy memories.
• Thinking about the comfort of the relationship.
• Curious about what your life together may have been.
• Feeling sentimental about past experiences.

This card doesn’t always mean that your ex wants to get back together with you, but it can mean they have you on their mind.

Page of Cups – Feeling Emotional Curiosity

The Page of Cups often appears when someone is thinking about reaching out or expressing their feelings.

The Page of Cups indicates someone could be feeling emotional and thinking about sending you a message to test the waters.

Some meanings for this card can be:

• Thinking about sending a message.
• Wondering how you are doing.
• Reflecting on unresolved emotions.
• Feeling sentimental about the relationship.

The Page of Cups can also mean that an apology will be sent your way.

Queen of Cups – Emotional Attachment

The Queen of Cups represent understanding your emotions.

When reversed in a past relationship card reading, it can signify there is still an emotional attachment between the two of you, whether you have both admitted it or not.

Examples are:

• Caring about you emotionally.
• Genuine compassion.
• Remembering the bond you shared.
• Caring about your well-being.

The Queen of Cups often shows someone who still cares about your emotional connection.

Four of Cups – Quiet Reflection

The Four of Cups usually symbolises deep thoughts, a time for reflection.

During a relationship card reading, it can mean someone is thinking about your relationship on a more private level.

Examples include:

• Replaying past conversations in their mind.
• Reflecting on past difficult choices.
• Wondering if they should contact you.
• Processing emotions quietly.

The Four of Cups often appears when someone is thinking about someone but is fearful to take action.

Tarot Signs Your Ex May Still Miss You

One of the first questions people ask is:

“Does my ex still miss me?”

An experienced tarot reader can interpret which cards suggest emotional nostalgia after a breakup.

Cards often associated with lingering feelings include:

• Six of Cups – nostalgia and memories
• Two of Cups – emotional connection
• Judgement – reflection on past decisions
• Queen of Cups – emotional attachment
• Page of Cups – longing to reconnect

When several of these cards appear in the tarot spread, they would normally be interpreted as your ex- partner still has an emotional connection to the relationship.

Is My Ex Thinking About Me? Tarot Signs Explained

This question will normally be asked in a reconciliation reading. Even after you have cut off all communication and it looks like the relationship has ended, very often there is still a longing to feel that your ex is thinking about you.

There are several cards that tend to show up quite frequently when someone has someone on their mind or is thinking about an ex.

Six of Cups

The Six of Cups indicates when someone is looking back at past memories with fondness- the good times you shared together.

Four of Cups

The Four of Cups typically means that someone is caught up in their own head with their feelings. Regarding relationships, they may be thinking about their relationship but are hesitant to reach out.

Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups is all about caring and emotions. When this card is pulled in a reconciliation reading, it could mean that your ex-partner still deeply cares for you.

Page of Cups

The Page of Cups is about messages and intense curiosity. Someone who has this card in their spread may be on the verge of being contacted by their ex-partner.

If the card spread has multiple cards that deal with emotions and nostalgia, it could mean that your ex is still thinking about you.

Tarot Cards That Show Regret After a Breakup

Regrets, stress, and guilt are usual emotions that appear in reconciliation readings.

Specific tarot cards indicate when someone is thinking about you and reflecting on past behaviour or wishing things had been handled differently.

Five of Cups

This card often represents sadness or regret over what has been lost.

Judgement

Judgement represents reflection and realisation. It can suggest someone recognising their mistakes.

Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords is linked to trauma, anxiety, and guilty feelings. These cards can suggest someone is deeply reflecting on how the relationship ended.

Will My Ex Contact Me Again? Tarot Signs Communication Is Coming

Tarot cards that may signal your ex is about to contact you are the Eight of Wands, Page of Cups, Knight of Cups and Ace of Swords. These cards are associated with communication, emotional discussions, and sudden contact. The cards will show you energy around emotion, it can't promise that someone will contact you.

One of the most common questions in a love reading is: “Will my ex contact me again?”

Tarot cannot guarantee communication, but certain cards often appear when communication energy is present.

Cards associated with contact include:

• Eight of Wands – sudden communication.
• Page of Cups – emotional message.
• Knight of Cups – romantic approach.
• Ace of Swords – honest conversation.

When multiple communication cards appear in a reading, it can indicate that someone has romantic feelings for you and may be considering reaching out.

Tarot Card Combinations That Reveal Thoughts and Feelings

Professional tarot readers rarely interpret cards individually. The true meaning of a reading often appears through card combinations.

Examples include:

• Six of Cups + Page of Cups

Nostalgia combined with emotional curiosity. Someone may be remembering the relationship and wondering about reconnecting.

• Four of Cups + Two of Swords

Reflection combined with hesitation. Someone may be thinking about making a phone call or sending a text message, but feeling uncertain.

• Judgement + Ace of Swords

Realisation followed by clarity. Someone may want to acknowledge past mistakes and speak honestly.

• The Star + Ace of Cups

Emotional healing followed by a fresh start in love.

Why Your Ex May Think About You but Not Reach Out

Often, it’s hard to understand why your ex may still be thinking about you but chooses not to make contact.

This can happen for various reasons:

• Pride or fear of rejection.
• Feeling unsure how they would be received.
• Believing the relationship cannot be fixed.
• Want to focus on personal growth first.

Tarot readings often reveal these emotional barriers when cards associated with fear of acceptance appear.

When Tarot Shows Someone Is Moving On

Tarot cards associated with letting go are the Eight of Cups, the Ten of Swords, the World, and Death. These cards may suggest your ex is placing more energy into growing as a person and starting along a new path in life instead of contacting you.

Experienced tarot readers are ethically bound to provide balanced insight.

Cards associated with emotional closure from a relationship:

• Eight of Cups – leaving the past behind.
• Ten of Swords – a painful breakup.
• The World – completion of a cycle.
• Death – change and a new direction in life.

These cards do not mean the love was not real. They simply suggest the relationship may have completed its purpose.

Even when these cards appear, tarot readings can still offer valuable guidance, healing, and self-reflection.

Psychological Reasons People Think About Their Exes

Tarot often reflects emotional realities that exist outside the cards.

There are many reasons people continue to think about their ex-partner, and we look at just a few here:

• Emotional Connection

Relationships create strong emotional connections that do not disappear immediately.

• Unfinished Communication

Breakups that end suddenly can leave people replaying the last conversations.

• Nostalgia

People often choose only to remember the good memories rather than the arguments that led to separation.

• Personal Growth

Time apart can allow for reflection to understand what was taken for granted in the relationship.

What Happens During a Love Tarot Reading?

A love tarot reading focuses on emotional dynamics within relationships.

A typical reading may explore:

1. Your emotional energy.
2. Your ex’s emotional perspective.
3. Unresolved relationship patterns.
4. Possible communication or contact.
5. Guidance for your next steps.

At Trusted Psychics, our tarot readers focus on providing honest insights rather than unrealistic promises.

You can also explore our Love Psychic Readings to gain deeper insight into your relationship situation.

Tarot can help you:

• Understand your true feelings.
• Recognise patterns in relationships.
• Gain perspective after a breakup.
• Reflect on personal growth.
• Make thoughtful relationship decisions.

A love tarot reading often provides clarity and emotional reassurance during uncertain times.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tarot and Ex-Relationships

Can Tarot Tell If My Ex Still Loves Me?

Tarot readings can display repetitive emotion cues to signal if feelings still exist. Cards like Two of Cups, Six of Cups, Queen of Cups may appear when emotions still run strong.

Remember that a reputable tarot reader will read your entire spread. If there are several cards that have an emotional feeling around love, this can signal love, nostalgia or feelings that could potentially exist between two people.

What Tarot Cards Mean That Someone Is Thinking About You?

Six of Cups, Page of Cups, Queen of Cups and Four of Cups all signify that someone could be thinking about you. All these cards typically display meaning around nostalgia, thinking through emotions, curiosity, reminiscing, and similar feelings. 

Usually, when these cards involve feelings/thinking, as the cups suit will appear with talking cards like Eight of Wands, Ace of Swords, etc., then someone might say reach out to you.

Can Tarot Predict If My Ex Will Text Me?

Tarot cards won’t be able to specifically say that your ex will text you because no one can see the future, and we all have free will.

Some cards can give you insight that there is talking/exchange of energy occurring. Cards like Eight of Wands, Page of Cups, Knight of Cups and Ace of Swords all relate to sending messages, having a conversation, or exchanging emotions through discussion.

Is My Ex Thinking About Me?

Cards such as Six of Cups or Four of Cups indicate thoughts about the past, old memories, or remembering certain events. When a reader interprets the cards in the spread draw, they consider combinations of cards which give a clearer, more accurate and detailed reading.

Does My Ex Regret Breaking Up?

Tarot cards that relate to your ex-partner regretting the relationship ending are the Five of Cups, Judgement and Nine of Swords. These cards clearly indicate feelings of regret, sadness, guilt, and fear. Your ex-partner may be fearful that if he attempts to make a reconciliation, he will be rejected.

Why Do I Keep Thinking About My Ex?

It’s completely normal to constantly think about your ex. Especially if the relationship ended suddenly, or you are both on the same emotional level about the breakup.

Your mind is trying to figure out what happened, replay conversations or gain closure. That’s why, when doing a tarot reading, you will see cards that reflect that mentality, such as Six of Cups (memories/nostalgia), Four of Cups (self-introspection), or Nine of Swords (anxious thoughts). 

A tarot reading can help you understand what you might be holding onto, what you need to heal from, and what you should do to move on with your life so you can begin feeling better.

Is It Possible to See If We Can Get Back Together?

Tarot cards can show if you have a chance at getting back together with your ex. Some cards that display emotions surrounding giving partners another chance are Two of Cups, Judgement, Temperance, and The Star. Remember, it literally takes 2 people to fix a relationship and work on it.

Can Tarot Help Heal After a Breakup?

Yes. Tarot readings are often used to help people process their feelings and learn some perspective after a breakup. Tarot can help someone understand what patterns may have contributed to their relationship failing - even if the reading doesn't indicate getting back together.

By helping you release lingering emotions and investing your time in yourself, you can move forward with more confidence.

How Accurate Are Love Tarot Readings?

Love tarot readings can be significant if conducted by someone who understands relationship energy. The cards reflect energy patterns, emotions, and what is going on within a relationship dynamic.

A reading will not guarantee an outcome, but can indicate where two people stand. Many people use readings to receive further insight into their emotions, relationship patterns, and potential futures.
