Because this is more of a private matter, I did only look at the energy signatures surrounding their connection rather than seeking out any kind of specific details. The main energy currently surrounding them both is The Hermit over the 5 of Cups, which actually isn’t between them, it’s something that they both seem to be sharing but are definitely processing separately.

With the way that these two cards came out, it was like The Hermit was replacing the person in the image of the 5 of Cups, so the two spilled cups or this relationship, is being assessed by both of them from a higher, more mature perspective. It’s like they both are still grieving that loss, but there’s this definite acknowledgment that these cups, or certain things in the relationship, once spilled could not be cleaned up again, and it is for the best of both of them that they are separated. 

As for the signatures throughout their relationship, I did a “beginning, middle, end” kind of thing here. The Lovers came out as the energy around them before they got married, which was this big bursting, almost “bubblegum-flavored” kind of energy. It was very flamboyant and excited energy, which makes me think that there was definitely a strong attraction and a lot of ~butterflies~ to this connection that kind of clouded aspects of the other. Like, the good bits were SO GOOD that the bits where they were incompatible were unnoticed or intentionally ignored, so once they actually got married and the excitement kind of fizzled out, more of those incompatibilities showed up.

Which then leads into the 8 of Pentacles, which came out for the energy surrounding the actual marriage. This shows that there was work and effort being put into actually building up that original fantasy or that original excitement. I was seeing the duplicated pentacles as these duplicates of The Lovers, continuously trying to find that spark again even though those realizations had already come into focus and there was a lot of struggle there to really look past those incompatibilities. Really, if I’m being honest, it seems like they weren’t actually trying to fix things, they were just trying to go backward in time to that original feeling and the fact that they couldn’t make the marriage feel more like tedious work than anything else.

Then there at the end, there is the 4 of Wands with the 3 of Pentacles showing the energy around the point of divorce which actually feels a lot less tense than what is in the 8 of Pentacles. I’m pretty sure the 3 of Pentacles is literally like a lawyer coming in, or outside people coming in to mediate the matter, but they were both working together on this, there was an agreement to it or an understanding. The 4 of Wands is like this release point like I was seeing this as the front door of their home, and one is walking out and they’re both like cheerfully waving goodbye to the other. So, on the surface it’s this kind of drab and methodical process of divorce with the 3 of Pentacles, but within them and between them, there’s this rather peaceful and joyful split, which I think lends to the aspect of The Hermit being the one to look down on the losses of this relationship. They are sad that this didn’t work out, sad that they lost someone that they did share such a strong connection with, but in hindsight, this separation was for the best and beneficial for both of them.
