Frequently asked questions
What is the clearest sign an ex will come back?+
Consistent, voluntary contact over time — not a single drunk text, but a steady pattern.
Does no contact mean it is over?+
Not always. Some exes go quiet to process. A confident new relationship is a stronger 'over' signal.
Can tarot tell me if my ex will return?+
It can show the energy and most likely path. See our will-he-come-back tarot guide.
