Thank you so much naturegirl!
It was a surreal moment for sure. He also took me by surprise. It felt like he'd been gearing up to it the entire evening and then went for it all of a sudden. Like I didn't understand what was happening for a second and then my mind was like omg, this counts as passion for sure.

I feel like I can address some of your questions. First off, the first reading always encompasses a longer time frame. the top ups are fillers which is why they move faster. I had the same thing happen. in fact, the first reading ever with her gave passion which obviously happened now-I met this dude 1.5 years after the first reading . and I may have assumed one of her crystal visions passed but it hasn't. it concerned spending time with him at a lake . We did in fact go to the lake the first summer we became friends but it was purely platonic. [here I am thinking at least the guy has seen me in a bikini multiple times as we often went to the pool together that I had access to at the time. in all this time it was purely platonic-he never approached me, never touched me in any suggestive manner. later on about the 1st or 2nd year mark of our friendship there were some slip ups where he put his hands on my knees or held my hand briefly which now makes me think he had attraction even then]. buT the point is that her first reading had passion and lake. so I am hoping this is still on the horizon-and no I don't mean a kinky thing like passion in the lake. lolz. just around that time. obviously in the past we only hung out as friends. in fact, the first reading made this point. it gave an interruption in our communications-2 of swords. and in real life, we were out of touch for 2 years. we saw each other here and there as it's a small town and were cordial but we'd become remote after multiple things happened. and then when we reconnected it just changed all of a sudden. I remember when we first hugged after reconnecting and I saw something different -it just felt different. and now I know why. he must have decided it's time. so the first reading gave it as after 2 of swords, I reconnect with a female friend (we reconnected this past summer , due to my house hunt. she's the reason I got this house. not only did I use her realtor, she advised me on the offer). and she said when you reconnect things have changed. you are no longer spending time as friends.
So yes, my friend paid me a house visit as well about 2 weeks before Wands and I reconnected. her first reading in 2016(!!!!) exactly 6 years ago had given her twice as the marker, first for meeting the KoW and 2nd for this second stage in our dynamic. and that is true, I met him 10 days after going to her first house and then this started 10 days after she visited my first house.
She also saw me mentally struggle with the change and it's true. I also am sad a bit that the friendship is now gone. People say you build on the friendship but it's not true. it becomes subsumed in the fire of passion especially once people have sex. I'll try to hold it off as long as possible but the lines have already been crossed. I speak from experience as my first b/f was from a friendship-friendship lasted 2 years, and the relationship was gone in 3 months and we lost all contact thereafter. it wasn't acrimonious either-just a misunderstanding over what i'd said before I went abroad that summer. and it was not reparable ever again. I still hurt about that and so I am struggling with this parallel. I know he is already ready for full intimacy b/c he's a man in his thirties and I am guessing it is an attraction he kept bottled up all this time. He's squashing his instincts for now for my sake I feel like but till when I am not sure.
her two top ups tho, covered that summer and fall and gave no passion-they clearly said new doors opening, hanging out as friends. which was the case.
2 of pentacles is the distance communication card-it can be text, email etc. i asked about Zoom and she said ah that is a mixed bag.it can be shown as 2 of pentacles or 8 of wands as face to face, that the pandemic complicated this interpretation!
but 8 of wands is the face to face interaction card.
in the house card means personal life or things happening actually in your physical home.It's the private sphere.so I've had friends and mom in the home-they would come to my home or can be vice versa. long ago I had KoW in the home but as friends--the cards made a point then of saying he won't make an advance. I must have gone to his 3-4 times and he'd been to mine like 10 times and we'd also been alone together, even late at night, even with booze and weed and nothing.
and then she said when passion happens it's in the home card.
and of course it was.
