Question
Why has Mr.? come back into my life and is pursuing this now - basically what does this person really want from me?
From left to right: Deviant Moon deck - Queen of Swords, 6 of Pentacles, Queen of Wands.
He is hurt, and is seeking your attention. You are the likely source.
He is the Queen of Swords, sobbing and holding a sword, while looking at you, the Queen of Wands, a strong bad ass Amazon that is not even looking at him. She is too busy being a strong bad ass. The card in between is the 6 of Pentacles, which is an archetypal image describing the nature of the interaction: somebody who has something, is giving something of interest to somebody who has not. Even though this card is about pentacles, it really is about currency. Life Force is a form of currency on all planes, and he wants to receive some of yours. (I find it interesting that the placement of the pentacles on The Giver's back is somewhat aligned with his chakra centers (centers of Life Force energy... almost as if you are literally giving him your energy.) Where attention goes, energy flows. But wait, are you the asshole here? Is he hurt because he wants his Life Force back?
Follow up Question
Who is the asshole here? Querent or Mr. X?
Strength was casted over the 6 of Pentacles.
Looks like you injured his male ego as a consequence of him being unruly towards you.
That which motivates him to express himself as from the lower aspects of his being; his Nephesh (animal soul), that which can be represented by the interests of the lower chakras, has been wounded by you. But don't feel too bad about it, it was simply the injury sustained from you shutting his predatorial mouth down as you were protecting yourself from harm.
I threw the Strength card on top of the 6 of Pentacles (where I assumed you to be the giver and him the receiver) for more information on the social dynamic between the characters in the 6 of Pentacles. Wow, the synchronicity of the Strength card popping up that repeats the pattern showing the person in the position of power towering above the person lacking power.
My Closing Thoughts
Strength and 6 of Pentacles, side by side.
Looks like you have the power here, and he wants your validation. Use your power wisely, otherwise you risk switching the polarity.
I cast cards, interpret symbols and intuit probabilities. This is a free will universe and Chaos is a potent force. Take responsibility over the decisions you make. Your life is yours to create.
