Dear Vince,
Patching up with ex can be difficult for the next 2 years. You should avoid communication and get back to life to become normal. Post 2 years, towards the end of 2025, you can expect a rekindling with your ex for years' time.
If this seems too long, you should forget and move on and let the relationship matters take their natural course.
Venus in 7th house and Ketu in 7th form rashi brings great possibility of past connection in realtionship matters in Venus-Ketu dasha. Saturn transit in 8th house can delay 7th house matters outcome indefintely and bring confusion.
