As you can see on past diaries, the goal is to find positive outcomes with “actionable intel” on how to get them. Here I use a different method than yer olde new agey stuff. I actually go to facade.com to read stuff. For many reasons, but the one I want to highlight is that my reading here is just for fun, motivation and food for thought
The foremost question on everyone’s thoughts first. Using the ‘one card” spread you can ask yes/ no questions and the answer is fairly accurate for the next week or so. An upright card means YES.. Yes they will ram through a SCOTUS judge. And we will be left feeling disappointed and betrayed by our civic partners in this union that is the US congress… Not unlike a marriage of convenience, we are forced to live and decide on our nations fate with a partner we don’t particularly like and now found proof we can’t trust them to act decently.. We feel incomplete and fearful for the future.
Five of Cups (Disappointment): Partial loss. Regret. Friendship without real meaning. Marriage without real love. Inheritance. Incomplete union or partnership.
But take heart! YES, Victory will still be ours, this woke up a lot of people who were planning not to vote, and they will come to vote for Biden.
Seven of Wands (Valor): Standing courageously for your beliefs in the face of adversity. Fear of failure overcome by the will to succeed. Great obstacles met with heroism and determination. Inner strength brought to bear at a critical moment.
As I write this we are shattering the donation records at Act Blue. People won’t take it in stride and this donation fervor is only the beginning. This might get more votes for Trump but woke up a lot of people who were planning not to vote. Some people who tuned out will come in droves to vote for Biden now that they see they can’t take honor and honesty for granted. So even though our current civil partner in this weird union that is Congress is being awful, we will find willing new partners to help us run the nation… This is what I got for the people awoken by Mitch’s treachery
Two of Cups (Love): The perfect harmony of union, in romance, friendship, or business. A deep and palpable connection radiating joy and contentment. A great concordance or pledge of fidelity. The joining of male and female interpreted in the broadest sense. The sanctification of the natural through that which exists on a higher plane. May indicate the meeting of a kindred soul, marriage, engagement, merger, or partnership.
I also got the usual spread for us.. Celtic Cross, which we have seem here
TL; DR: We are still good for November 3rd and beyond. Your wish will be granted. Success, accomplishment, and satisfaction will soon enter your life. But buckle up, the present situation card is The Tower which is just about the worst card on the Tarot to get on a reading: Catastrophe (California Fires), Disease (COVID), Discord (Alt Right killing people, Trump Gestapo on cities), chaos… Sounds about right. But don’t worry, we got The Star down in the outcome section so yeah it will be tough but we will make it through. With our inner strength and courage.
Spread, Celtic Cross
The Celtic Cross spread is one of the most popular Tarot spreads, providing varied insight into many aspects of a complex situation and your role in it.
Hang in there, there’s good news, lots of it but it will show you the tough part too
The Tower In the Cover position
The Tower Indicates the querent in relationship to the present situation.
Meaning: You witness or experience a shocking event that leaves you changed. Potential catastrophe is near; be prepared. Your life is complicated by discord in a relationship or the family. Unforeseen setbacks bring despondency and a period of frustration. Your dreams may disintegrate into ashes.
Dreams disintegrating into ashes ? Peoples houses and magnificent forests burned to cinders.. yup we’ve seen that. Unforeseen setback ? Rip RGB. Shocking event that leaves you changed ? Catastrophe ? I’m hoping that is Mitch & Trump ramming a SCOTS judge and the California fires but it’s 2020 so something worse might be on it’s way. Maybe the COVID deaths' will take an uptick. I’m bracing myself here…
6 of Pentacles In the Cross position
6 of Pentacles Represents the positive forces or assets in the querent's favor.
Meaning: You will be receiving what is due you, positive or negative. Someone repays a past loan of money or time. Revive your outlook on life by helping others who are in need.
Someone repays a past loan of money or time ? I think this one means we will get back all the love and energy we poured on helping minorities and they will come to vote in droves. The “help those who are in need” seems to indicate we are getting paid back for our charity.
7 of Cups In the Beneath position
7 of Cups Can be viewed as a message from the "higher self."
Meaning: You spend too much time daydreaming and not enough time taking action. Too many projects are going at once and not enough is done on any one. You refuse to look at reality.
“The Querent” here is the entire nation, this is how I read: I ask for the US future. So this is showing part of America refuses to look at reality and spends too much time daydreaming. I think we know which part… Trump voters are lost in Q dreams and alternate facts.
5 of Cups In the Crown position
5 of Cups Represents past events and influences that color and give rise to the current situation.
Meaning: You may be hurt from seeing through an illusion. This is a period when you tend to dwell only on negative events or happenings. This card foretells the possibility of a divorce or the breakup of a marriage or friendship. You may need to fight against a feeling of depression.
Again, our relationship with Trump supporters in Congress and in public is reflecting as a partnership or “marriage” on the reading. We may be hurt from seeing through an illusion and see the breakup of a friendship / partnership with the Trump infested GOP, who no longer is trustworthy. We had the naïve illusion there were some in there who had integrity but alas, they never had it, it was all hypocrisy
4 of Wands In the Behind position
4 of Wands Represents the preoccupation of the subconscious which filters into waking life
Meaning: Happiness and peace are now within your grasp. Your past endeavors bring a well-earned rest from the cares. A new love is now possible. Success may give you reason to celebrate.
Finally some good news! Obama’s years and Clinton’s years didn’t go unnoticed and people we helped will come back to help us. Happiness and peace are now within our grasp. Success may give us reason to celebrate.
The Star In the Before position
The Star Represents the state of the querent's relationships with others.
Meaning: Personal spiritual experiences give you a glimpse of universal consciousness. You need to stretch beyond what you think is your potential. New opportunities will present themselves to you. Divine guidance is available if you listen.
While the Tower is one of the worst cards to get in a reading, the Star is one of the best. We got both but I don’t need to tell you this means this year will be a roller coaster of emotion, you have been living it. And to survive it you will need to stretch to your best, use all the fuel and energy and go past it…stretch beyond what you think is your potential You will find new ways to cope and new things to do. New opportunities will present themselves to you and if you listen to your intuition, you will do good. There’s something or someone — God — if you believe, that wants to help us all. If you don’t believe, chalk it up to your inner self, but there’s definitely help available for us. I think 2 hurricanes for Trump’s convention and perfect weather for ours shows that… But I’m biased ;)
Strength In the Self position
Strength Indicates the querent's psychological state and attitudes which can greatly affect the outcome of the matter.
Meaning: Let your intuition guide you in taking a stand. If you are right in a disagreement, do not give in, but use calm persuasion to carry you to victory. Use courage, willpower, and inner strength to overcome difficulties.
The way ahead is scary and fraught with stressful news but we will find the strength to overcome it all within ourselves. Don’t give up. Stay calm, stay logic, Use courage, willpower, and inner strength to overcome difficulties.
9 of Cups In the House position
9 of Cups Represents the querent's environment and unseen forces influencing the situation.
Meaning: Your wish will be granted. Success, accomplishment, and satisfaction will soon enter your life.
Like a balm, victory will come after this big fight. Hang in there. Success, accomplishment, and satisfaction will soon enter your life.
Ace of Swords In the Hopes position
Ace of Swords Indicates the hopes and fears of the querent.
Meaning: You are in the process of making decisions that will affect your life for some time. A new period or cycle of much activity is imminent. Beware of activity without thought.
There is lots to do until November 3rd and lots to do after, A new period or cycle of much activity is imminent But we must stay calm. reasonable, logical, reality based, pro science and we can not fall for the trap of revenge or Q like conspiracy theories. The thing about them is that even if they are true, the way they are spread and their malice rots the brain… Cults have used this for ages: It is intoxicating to feel you are the only one who knows “the truth”. Beware of activity without thought. Don’t follow anyone blindly, don’t do anything you don’t think through first.
The Empress In the Outcome position
The Empress Indicates the outcome of the matter.
Meaning: Unexpected gifts and blessings come to you. A possible marriage or commitment to a relationship is close. You may experience a possible pregnancy, or period of creativity. Travel, pleasant recreation, or social gathering will benefit you at this time. Financial security and good fortune can be yours with planning and commitment. Goddess influences are at work in your life.
Outcome: Victory. Unexpected gifts and blessings creativity, a period of creativity so strong it almost like bringing a new life to the country (hence the pregnancy card), a new civic partnership (marriage here signifies the union to govern in Congress). Trump’s GOP will go the way of the Whig party, I think. A new party with never trumpers or a new purely progressive party will rise. And together we will bring back this great nation to greatness. This is blessed by whatever you believe: God, goddess, your inner self or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Even his godly noodle wants US to be great again!
Now the usual disclaimers..
Disclaimers:
1 -this is just for fun. If you hate new age, skip this diary. If you are a Tarot purist skip this too, you will be horrified!
2 - Not a prediction: Although I have had some pretty accurate readings, I would never say I’m predicting or forecasting anything. As you can see on past diaries, what I can see is some pretty obvious undercurrents of factors that point to an end state. The end state / outcome is not by any means guaranteed to occur
3 - “Positive, actionable”: We need you positive and committed to fight for Democracy. I will not have dire predictions here, I will just highlight trouble spots. It takes a bit of practice to read positive outcomes with “actionable intel” on how to get them.
PS: Caution Even without all the new age stuff, Tarot isn’t easy. And has it’s risks The trance states needed for Tarot reading are not as benign or forgiving as meditating or mindfulness. Reading Tarot too often / without practice might mess up with your neuro-chemistry..
PPS: I did do some work on why are the Trump voters so angry. It is good. I’ll post more about it later in the week. Hopefully this time I will, I swear it is not like Trump’s health plan that’s always “comint out in 2 weeks” for 3.5 years
