Reversed 3 of Wands as Feelings
How They Feel About You
They may feel frustrated or disappointed with the relationship’s progress. To them, the connection isn’t moving forward as expected, or obstacles seem to be blocking the plans you’ve made for the future. There may be some impatience with how things stand between you right now.
In a New Relationship
Progress in love may be slower than you expected, so patience and perseverance help. In a new relationship, there may be hurdles to overcome and expectations about the future to manage. Try not to lose hope over temporary setbacks, and stay open to the potential the future still holds.
In an Existing Relationship
The relationship may feel stagnant, or expectations may be going unmet. It could be time to reevaluate your plans and goals together, and to address whatever is holding back the relationship’s growth and keeping your hopes for the future from coming true.
An Ex
This may reflect a realization that rekindling the relationship wouldn’t bring the future either of you wants, or that past issues would still stand in the way. Any hope of starting again is tempered by those obstacles and by what has already gone wrong.
