What a 1,000+ word crystal ball reading looks like

Hello Eleftheria,

What has been happening in the last few hours is very interesting, because even though things look stalled or uncertain, the energy your picture gives off today is far more “alive” than you think. The fact that after two days of silence, when you messaged him, he went as far as asking you “how are you?”, is for Konstantinos a huge step. For an ordinary person it might be the obvious thing to do, but for a man who barricades himself behind professionalism and declares himself “empty”, showing interest in how you are is a sign that your presence has left a very deep mark inside him. His aura today, 15 September, is full of a strange contradiction. On the one hand he is trying to convince himself that “it is all work”, and on the other his thoughts keep returning to the moments you spent together. His energy is a little clouded because he is fighting between logic and a feeling that is beginning to wake up and frighten him. That thank-you you exchanged is a bridge. When he told you “he thanks you”, he did not say it as a formality. He said it because he felt you offered him a quality of life and a calm that he does not easily find in his daily routine. The picture I have of you in his mind today is the picture of someone he misses, but he does not want to admit it even to his own mirror. It is as if he is holding his breath to see how long he can last without looking for you, and the fact that you were the one to message him gave him a temporary relief, a confirmation that you are still there and still waiting for him.

Let us look a little at what is happening behind the scenes, where the words stay inside his home and in the conversations with his own people. His mother, Eleftheria, is a key figure. During his stay with you, as you saw, they were constantly talking. Now that he is back, the conversation about his trip has taken place in every detail. I see a scene in the kitchen of their house, or on the phone, where Konstantinos describes how well he had it. He did not say “I fell in love”, but he said “Eleftheria took great care of me, she is an exceptional girl, very capable, and she hosted me like a king”. His mother, who knows him better than anyone, understood from the tone of his voice that something had changed. She understood that this trip was not “one of many”. There was a comment from her side, perhaps a question like “and will you go again?”, and that is where Konstantinos put up his defences. That is where he started talking about Mytilene and the other trips, trying to convince his mother, and mainly himself, that nothing serious is going on. His family now has a very positive image of you. They see you as a person who takes care of him and calms him, which is very important to them. However, it is this positive pressure from his surroundings that makes him retreat. As for whether anything else has happened, no, I do not see any other woman coming between you. This Marilena you mentioned is simply a tool in his work and a “shield” so that he is not alone with you. The truth is that behind the scenes he is fighting with himself and with the “emptiness” he claims to have. His friend, the one he told he has no feelings, teased him again, and Konstantinos snapped. All of this shows a man in complete confusion, trying to keep up appearances while inside him there is chaos.

Let us go now to the big question: will he come in November after all? The truth is that right now Konstantinos is telling you “I don’t know” because he wants to feel free. He wants to feel that he is the one who sets his schedule. Mytilene is a real professional commitment, but it is not something that prevents him from coming to you as well. I see in the flow of events that as we get closer to October, his need to complete the collaboration with you will become more intense. My prediction is that in the end he will come. It may not be on the exact dates you had discussed, it may be a little later, but he will find a way. Your collaboration is very profitable for both of you, and Konstantinos does not let opportunities like that go to waste. The “I don’t know” will become “I will see how I can arrange it”, and finally it will become “book it, I am coming”. The presence of the colleague or the intern is still on the table, but it is very likely that in the end he will come alone, offering some excuse that the other person could not make it. It is a game he plays to keep your interest alive and so that he does not feel you take him for granted. As for your question about whether there is another acquaintance for you apart from Konstantinos, the answer is yes. I see a move from a person who is already in your environment, perhaps from your professional circle or from an old acquaintance that will be rekindled. He is a more outgoing man than Konstantinos, clearer about his intentions. This acquaintance will appear towards the end of October, exactly the period when Konstantinos will be dragging his feet. It will be a test for you, to see whether you truly want to wait for this difficult man, or whether you are ready to open the door to something easier and less complicated.

Closing this reading, I want to give you some practical advice on how to handle Konstantinos from here on. The fact that you messaged him and he replied warmly is good, but now you have to stop. Do not ask him about November again. Do not ask him again how he is. Let him be the one to break the silence next time. Konstantinos needs to feel that Eleftheria is not the safe harbour that will always be there no matter what he does. He needs to feel the threat that he could lose you, not necessarily to another relationship, but to your own indifference. When he tells you “I don’t know if I will come”, your attitude should be “no problem, let me know when you do, because I have other commitments to arrange too”. It is this composure that will bring him back. As for the new acquaintance I mentioned, do not ignore it. Give yourself the chance to connect with other people too. This will give you a different kind of confidence, one that Konstantinos will pick up on, even over the phone. Your energy has to move off him so that he can make the move to approach you. If you are always there waiting for him, you hand him all the power, and he uses it to keep his distance. Become a little more distant, focus on your work and your friends, and let him wrestle with his own insecurities. November will come and the decisions will be made, but until then you must be the leading lady of your own life, not him. Do not believe a word of what he says about being “empty”. He is a man full of feelings who simply does not know how to handle them. Give him the time and space to miss you, and you will see that his answers become much clearer. You have done everything you could to show him who you are. Now let him understand what he is missing while he stays away from you. Patience and faith in yourself. Your story still has many chapters left to write.
