Yes, tell your closest friend now that you plan to move to another city next spring, while making clear that you are sharing a plan, not presenting every detail as settled. The reversed Ace of Swords in the Past points to the value of clear wording, the reversed Hermit in the Present leans toward opening a conversation, and the upright World in the Future connects that conversation with the transition ahead. If sharing now would interfere with a practical arrangement you need to keep private, wait until that constraint lifts; otherwise, tell them now. Say the plan plainly, and leave room for the conversation.
The parts follow one by one. Whichever you are reading lights up.
Ace of SwordsReversed
The Ace of Swords reversed in the Past traditionally points to muddled wording or a truth that is difficult to state cleanly. In this question, that bears on how you introduce your plan, not on whether the move is real: a vague hint could leave your friend unsure what you mean. So make the central fact plain, then distinguish the plan from any details that are still open.
The HermitReversed
The Hermit reversed in the Present traditionally suggests stepping out of inwardness or reconsidering withdrawal. Here it bears on your choice about speaking to your closest friend: keeping the news private would preserve privacy, while a conversation lets the friendship meet the change directly. Therefore, the card leans toward opening the conversation now, without requiring you to have every practical detail ready.
The WorldUpright
The World upright in the Future traditionally points to completion, integration, and a transition into a new stage. Because your question is about a planned move next spring, this card frames the news as part of a larger change rather than a small logistical update. As a result, telling your friend gives them a clear account of the transition you are planning.
Ace of SwordsReversed
The reversed Ace of Swords and the upright World connect clarity now with how the future transition is understood. If the move is introduced only as a broad hint, its significance may be hard to follow; a direct statement makes the plan easier to place in context. So share the central news first, then let the conversation develop around whatever questions arise.
This week, draft a short version of what you want to say, then use it to start a conversation.
You can keep the wording simple and share only the details you are ready to discuss.
Another way to read it · A careful alternative is to read the reversed cards as a reason to keep the first conversation brief and measured. On that view, you can tell your friend now that you are planning the move, while saving practical details for a later conversation as they become clearer.
After reading this, someone might ask:
Still to confirm · The cards cannot settle how fixed your plans are, how your friend may respond, or whether telling them now would affect practical arrangements.
Limits · This is a reflective reading rather than medical, legal, financial, or predictive advice.
