After all of the "sad-sack" readings I've done so far for the 2020 Democratic candidates for President, this one is a little more upbeat. O'Rourke is another declared contender with more than an outside chance of getting the nod from Democratic Convention delegates. Although my observations may read as acknowledged facts, they are only conjecture … Continue reading Beto O’Rourke’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading

Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
And now the one everybody has been anticipating . . . . For a candidate who has created so much buzz, this is a decidedly dour sequence until we get to the quintessence cards. The Emperor, indicative of overweening ambition, appears not once but twice, while both the Wheel of Fortune and the Chariot show … Continue reading Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Random Thoughts on the Lenormand Line
This post brings together a couple of ideas I've been pondering for a while. The first is the concept of "portable houses" (or if you prefer, "mobile homes"), by which a second deck is used to randomly lay out a set of cards to act as "houses" for the eventual pull when you're using a … Continue reading Random Thoughts on the Lenormand Line
Cory Booker’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Another straightforward read here. Cory Booker has also declared his candidacy for the office of President. No Emperor in this spread; maybe Booker and Bernie Sanders are both perceived as more egalitarian. (Note that I said "perceived as;" this is still American politicians we're talking about.) I've also noticed that the Hierophant has appeared in … Continue reading Cory Booker’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
These readings are starting to get more streamlined as I work my way down the list. Elizabeth Warren has already declared her candidacy for President. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In the "Social Quotient" line, the eternally skeptical American male sees her as an idle slacker who won't deliver what she … Continue reading Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Kamala Harris’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Continuing the series, here is the "Candidate's Profile" for Kamala Harris. As always, read my observations as possibilities, not definite conclusions. The cards tell the tale in their own way and I do my best to translate. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In the "Social Quotient" line, the "all-American male" could … Continue reading Kamala Harris’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
The “11th Hour Epiphany” Crisis Management Spread
I liked the layout of my "Roadkill Penguin" spread so much that I decided to do another spread based on it, this time to be read in a linear left-to-right fashion with "sidebar" cards adding more detail. The "crisis" of the title reflects the almost inevitable fact that every human endeavor runs into complications at … Continue reading The “11th Hour Epiphany” Crisis Management Spread
Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Although he hasn't formally declared his candidacy for President in the 2020 election (and it's looking increasingly less likely that he will), I decided to do this reading to assess Joe Biden's chances. I've been using the Albano-Waite RWS deck for these spreads due to its vivid colors and easy readability. Note that my observations … Continue reading Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
As promised, I performed my "Candidate's Tarot Profile" spread on Bernie Sanders' 2020 run for President of the United States. The bottom line is that he might be electable if he can convince enough people that he really is on their side. As we shall see, this could be a tough nut to crack. Note … Continue reading Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
I've just created a spread to examine the credibility (aka "cred") of the bumper crop of 2020 US presidential candidates among various demographics of the electorate and also within a number of other crucial "opinion-mills." The bottom line is an assessment of a candidate's overall electability. I tried to keep like parameters together under a … Continue reading 2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
