Reversed 8 of Wands as Feelings
How They Feel About You
They feel hesitant or uncertain about the relationship. Their emotions may be evolving more slowly than you expected, or outside factors may be delaying them from expressing their feelings or moving things forward. The interest may be there, but the momentum is not, and that can feel frustrating to you.
In a New Relationship
Things are slower to get going than hoped, with delays or setbacks along the way. Progress in forming the connection is not as swift as either of you might like. A new relationship needs patience and understanding now, as it may simply take more time to develop.
In an Existing Relationship
The relationship’s growth feels stalled. There may be obstacles to moving forward, or unresolved issues that need attention before things can progress. Open communication can address these obstacles and help you both find ways to rekindle the momentum the relationship had before it slowed down.
An Ex
An ex may take longer than expected to revisit the relationship or to resolve past issues with you. Their feelings about what happened are still unresolved. Whether you are dealing with those feelings or considering a reunion, this card calls for patience rather than a quick answer.
