Need assistance with card interpretation
Maybe post the cards? It’s hard to interpret without details like that

Also knowing what kind of cards are being used will be helpful as well. Tarot has traditional interpretations that can be translated onto decks of similar structures where Oracle cards have their own entire system for example.

Is it still focused on a couple engaged or another question?

It’s before my ritual - about my situation regarding an engaged couple

Okay, so seven of the ten cards are of the minor arcana, which tend to represent smaller periods of time. Out of those Seven cards, there is a dominance of Cups which tells me that emotions will be at play. Communication will also play a role as it is dominated by two sword cards. Actions (wands) and Money (Pentacles) will play a role as well considering their placements, but I do not think the money aspect will be as strong.
So, starting from the first card, we have the four of Cups, which I read as taking the time to really focus on what one desires, passing up on the rest. It is a time of evaluation of things.
The obstacle, Five of Pentacles, represents financial hardship that, while rough, will pass. It is a slow, rough patch which can put strain on life, but does not always lead to things breaking apart.
Best Outcome is represented by the Five of Swords, which I read as picking one’s battles carefully. This can also be evaluating ideas and leaving behind what is unnecessary or useful.
Recent Past is the Ace of Swords, which I read as a period of time when one becomes aware of the power of words and clear communication.
The Distant Past is represented by the Temperance card, which, like the Strength card, is the balancing of two extremes in order to achieve balance in whatever was strived.
The Near Future is The Moon, which is a time when one faces their fears and the shadows if themselves. It is not a pleasant time and can break someone, as well as give them strength. It all depends on how it is handled.
The Approach is represented by the King of Cups card. This is someone who understands emotions and how to cultivate their desires into something that can flourish. It could be someone that is turned to after or during the dark period represented by the Moon.
The Environment is represented as by the Eight of Cups, which is a card that I read as a deeper self reflection in terms of what one actually desires or find enriching. This go around may not be as harsh as the last events as the individual may be more experienced/knowledgeable on the subject due to the King of Cups card.
The Fears/Desires is represented by the Devil, which could represent both the fear of falling into the same addictions as well as the desire to break free from them. If the card was inverted, I would say that they would fail but this is not the case in this reading.
Finally, the final outcome is the Eight of Wands, which represents movement and the good kind of fast pace, which would end the period of stagnation that the other cards represented, possibly even travel.
As to how this reading relates to your ritual, I do not know as I do not know what you are aiming for, but reading this as a relationship reading, it is overall positive. It has its rough patches but there does seem to be resolution based on how I am reading them.

That is definitely a far different outcome.
So, because it is only three cards, this will not be as detailed as the last so I will read it as a past, present and future format.
Past was the Devil card, which I described in the other reading. The desire to break out of a sense of binding is very strong here. This is a very deep aspect as the Devil is a major arcana.
Present is Two of Cups, which the connection established by the emotions of two people who have mutual feelings. It is a minor card so it represents a smaller event.
Future is Ten of Swords, which I read as not only brutal failure but a reality check. A very painful event that leaves as lasting impression not just on the individual but those around them, as tens represent the full manifestation of the suit not only for the internal self but as part of the external environment.
So, in other words, he is going to find himself on that high note in life and come crashing down, hurt and quite possibly humiliated in the process.

That’s all I want
Even if it’s not forever but still
This engagement ending devastatingly
Him grief stricken and humiliated
That’s all
The cards do not really indicate whether or not the engagement will end, but it definitely does not seem it will end well at all for your target.
