You ask your spirit guide to contact you. It seems simple, but it requires that you truly need the guidance.
What, you want me to give you the phone #? Any way you want, d&c. Write a note. Talk into a cell phone. Talk to a bunny wabbit in the forest. Spirits can hear you wherever you are, so it doesn't matter how you do it. Anyway what makes you think it's a "him"?
Try making your own set of Zener cards, but do them in color... like a red circle, green square, yellow star, blue wavey lines, and purple crosses. If the symbol is hard for you, maybe the color will help. This is what I do. It's proven to be easier for me. I've done online tests, but I find it kind of difficult, too. Holding the card in my hand has proven easier for me. Just practice!!
