AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although it may not happen during this election cycle, the United States will eventually have a female President; even I, as an "Old White Male," can see that the paradigm has pretty much run its course. (This time around, the likely Democratic nominee is not a particularly strong candidate if performance [or nonperformance] … Continue reading “Making It Real” – The Tarot Talks About Female Presidents

Is the Fix In? – Prospects and Circumstances for Donald Trump’s Survival or Demise
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I almost never post twice in one day, but this is a timely subject that I wanted to get out there as soon as possible. Ever since Donald Trump was identified as the likely Republican candidate for the 2024 Presidential election, I've had concerns about a possible assassination attempt. Recent events have upgraded … Continue reading Is the Fix In? – Prospects and Circumstances for Donald Trump’s Survival or Demise
A “Warring Factions” Political-Profile Spread
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This spread needs little explanation. It is intended to examine the key qualities of aspirants to public office. (I'm leaving age and infirmity off the table.) It is best to use a different deck for each contender so all cards are available to both (or all) of them. In the US political system … Continue reading A “Warring Factions” Political-Profile Spread
Busting Trump: A “Conditional Yes-or-No” Example Reading
It appears increasingly likely that former President Donald Trump will be charged with a criminal offense by the Department of Justice as a result of the "January 6th Commission" recommendations. I decided to test my new "yes-or-no" spread by asking whether he will be convicted. I used the Thoth deck for this reading, with "Adjustment" … Continue reading Busting Trump: A “Conditional Yes-or-No” Example Reading
Trump Indictment: A Yes-or-No Reading in Two Parts
To test my archetypal "Yes-No-Maybe" template, I asked the question "Will Donald Trump be indicted for sedition due to allegedly encouraging insurrection in Washington DC on January 6, 2021?" This was before I learned that an indictment for Espionage Act violations may be even more likely because it is seen as an "open-and-shut" case (if … Continue reading Trump Indictment: A Yes-or-No Reading in Two Parts
Lunar Month Look-Ahead for World Events (November, 2022)
Not long ago I was asked whether my New-Moon-based "Lunar Month Look-Ahead" spread (link below) can be used to predict world events in addition to personal circumstances. I responded that I didn't see why not, and then decided to attempt it myself. This reading has no regional or national focus, and is simply a high-level, … Continue reading Lunar Month Look-Ahead for World Events (November, 2022)
A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 2
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is the "tarot" segment of my two-part analysis of the 2022 Congressional mid-term election. It turned out to be a nuanced and tricky reading. (I apologize in advance for the seemingly gratuitous use of quotes and parenthetical asides, but they're intended to season my rhetoric with anecdotal aptness.) Full Disclosure: For most … Continue reading A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 2
A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although this horary forecast is scheduled to appear in a future issue of the online AstroLogic magazine, I wanted to present it here first since I'm working on Part 2 and didn't want to wind up in a "cart > horse" situation when I publish it. The success of my Sarah Palin prediction … Continue reading A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1
A “Temporal Focus” Example Reading: Roe vs Wade
I'm going to preface my interpretation by saying that on one hand I'm a small-government "Libertarian sympathizer" and a firm believer in "States' Rights" as originally intended by the framers of the Constitution, while on the other hand (at least in the purely mystical sense of the soul's delayed entry into the body, which doesn't … Continue reading A “Temporal Focus” Example Reading: Roe vs Wade
A Political “Bypass and Detour” Reading: 2022 Midterm Elections
