The pundits at Fox News have been leaning toward the opinion that Russia will lose the Ukraine war. I haven't done a reading on this since Biden thought he might be able to stare down Putin while the Russian saber-rattling was still going on. We all know how well that worked out. I used my … Continue reading Ukraine vs. Russia: An “Enemy at the Gate” Conflict-Resolution Reading

Eagles vs. Chiefs: 2023 Super Bowl Prediction
UPDATE #2: This forecast turned out to be reasonably accurate. As predicted, Team "B" (Kansas City Chiefs) won and the "razor-thin margin" scenario came closest to the actual outcome (38-35 vs the projected 31-30); the possibility of a tied score in regulation existed until the last 8 seconds of the game, when the winning field … Continue reading Eagles vs. Chiefs: 2023 Super Bowl Prediction
An “On-Point” Alternative Choice Reading
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although the issue has already been settled in principle if not yet in fact, a client has reached a "tipping-point" in a major life decision and is seeking additional insight from an impartial Universe regarding the wisdom of a pending action that was chosen and is soon to be taken. I used my … Continue reading An “On-Point” Alternative Choice Reading
An NFL Football Forecast: New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills, January 8, 2023
UPDATE: Looks like the odds-makers were right: Bills 35 - Patriots 23. The game was deadlocked at halftime, but the Bills broke it open in the third quarter while the Patriots went flat; the win was by almost two touchdowns rather than the one TD the cards predicted (at least they got the winning team … Continue reading An NFL Football Forecast: New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills, January 8, 2023
A “Grunge Tarot” New Year
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I was gifted the recent (2021) Grunge Tarot for Christmas and decided to use it in my annual forecast for 2023. The deck is billed as an homage to "the last great rock movement" that emerged in Seattle during the 1990s, with tormented souls like Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) as … Continue reading A “Grunge Tarot” New Year
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
Lunar Month Look-Ahead for December 2022 – January 2023: A New Wrinkle
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This reading reflects both an update to my lunar-month predictive model and a return to "first principles." In the past I decided to remove the Major Arcana and court cards from the draw because the short-term outlook changes on roughly a 3-1/2 day frequency during the month and the Minor Arcana should therefore … Continue reading Lunar Month Look-Ahead for December 2022 – January 2023: A New Wrinkle
Turkey-Day Football, 2022: Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions
UPDATE: The game was closer than expected: Bills 28, Lions 25. I didn't watch the game but reviewed the final statistics. As far as I can tell from the numbers, the Bills moved the ball more effectively than the Lions, especially on the ground, even though they suffered more sacks, penalties, punt turnovers and interceptions. … Continue reading Turkey-Day Football, 2022: Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions
The Grand Etteilla: First Use
AUTHOR'S NOTE: For those of you familiar with Etteilla, in this reading I "went by the book" in some cases (that is, The Grand Etteilla by Orsini, Lemarchand and d'Odoucet) but in many instances (after having read both that book and Alliette's own Etteilla or the Only Way to Draw the Cards), I decided to … Continue reading The Grand Etteilla: First Use
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
