AUTHOR'S NOTE: "Ace in the hole" is a stud poker-players term for a face-down Ace or similar high card that the other players don't know about until it is played for the win. Here is a spread that uses reversals to create a "resource pool" of hidden cards that can be tapped when the predicted … Continue reading The “Ace-in-the-Hole” Spread: Just a Little Extra

NFL Football Forecast: 2025 AFC Championship – Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs
UPDATE: This one turned out to be pretty much "on the money." The final score of 32-29 in favor of the Chiefs closely agrees with my "high-end" prediction of 35-24 with Kansas City on top at the end of the game. I'll take it as a forecasting success. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I decided to post this … Continue reading NFL Football Forecast: 2025 AFC Championship – Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs
The “Zodiacal Strip” Monthly Astro-Tarot Reading
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is not nearly as messy as it looks. Those who are familiar with astrology will be able to make good sense of it. Here is a different take on the 12-position astrological spread that I adapted from Donald Tyson's book, Tarot Magic. It uses the twelve zodiacal trump cards and the seven … Continue reading The “Zodiacal Strip” Monthly Astro-Tarot Reading
Leveraging the Hexagram: A Motivational Spread
AUTHOR’S NOTE: For this spread, I’ve lifted the internal hexagram array from my “Tarot Magic” layout to use as a motivational overview covering both mental/spiritual and physical aspirations as well as four types of opportunity: adventurous (i.e. risk-taking) or pragmatic (both aligned with Physical Motivation) and intellectual or emotional (associated with Mental/Spiritual Motivation). Taking a … Continue reading Leveraging the Hexagram: A Motivational Spread
A Tarot Compass and Range-Finder: Locating the Lost
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although horary astrology is much better for it, I sometimes work with tarot as a means of finding lost items or people. I once applied the left-or-right gaze of the human figures on the cards to indicate a past or future bias in a querent's situation. Here I'm bringing it to bear, along … Continue reading A Tarot Compass and Range-Finder: Locating the Lost
“Neat Borders:” A Further Case for Tarot Spreads
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I was just reading a fascinating post in which a miscellany of famous authors expounded on why they (often vociferously) disliked a variety of important books by other esteemed writers (some of them very popular). I came across this gem from Charlotte Bronte, who was eviscerating Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: it … Continue reading “Neat Borders:” A Further Case for Tarot Spreads
Trump’s Next Four: A PoMo Perspective
AUTHOR'S NOTE: After listening to part of Donald Trump's inauguration speech (I dislike the man as much as ever but, as a Libertarian sympathizer, I'm not entirely opposed to his message), I decided to dig out my favorite sociopolitical deck, Brian Williams' PostModern (aka "PoMo") tarot to see what the next four years will spell … Continue reading Trump’s Next Four: A PoMo Perspective
FYI: Domain Name Change
For those of you who follow me or receive email updates, when I renewed my paid, ad-free WordPress subscription I received a free domain with a slightly different name: https://parsifalswheeldivination.org. I decided that, since this blog is not monetized, the ".org" suffix is preferable to ".com." The "wordpress" tag also went away. If you have … Continue reading FYI: Domain Name Change
A Four-Path Attitudinal Guidance Spread
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm fond of spreads that diverge in opposite directions along several different paths to closure. This one is designed to aid the querent in deciding whether the matter at hand should be approached assertively (Wands/Fire); compassionately (Cups/Water); thoughtfully (Swords/Air) or pragmatically (Disks/Earth). It uses all 78 cards and can be read with reversals. … Continue reading A Four-Path Attitudinal Guidance Spread
“Bottom-Feeding” – The Fish-Hook Spread
AUTHOR'S NOTE: There are times when it seems that our ability to come up with meaningful conclusions in a tarot reading has deserted us; perhaps the wisdom we seek has receded into the murky depths where we're not accustomed to going. The usual advice is to just dig deeper and more diligently for a better … Continue reading “Bottom-Feeding” – The Fish-Hook Spread
