Since it appears that we will be avoiding public contact until sometime in May due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought I would do a "health and wellness" reading to see what this means for my personal state of physical and mental fitness. I used my "All Well and Good, But . . ." spread … Continue reading COVID-19 “Health & Wellness” Reading

Should I or Shouldn’t I? – A “Measure of the Moment” Reading
After having spent most of the last month in my house, going nowhere but into the back yard, I've been itching to get into the outdoors and do something active. The governor here has been encouraging it, but so many people are following his advice that the parks and trails are crowded, defeating the purpose … Continue reading Should I or Shouldn’t I? – A “Measure of the Moment” Reading
COVID-19 Peak: A Best-Case/Worst-Case Scenario
With the US government predicting the nationwide impact of the coronavirus pandemic to peak in the next seven to fourteen days, I decided to do a "best-case/worst-case scenario" reading using both the most pessimistic (Night Sun Tarot) and the most optimistic (Chrysalis Tarot) decks I own (if nothing else, the color palette of each tells … Continue reading COVID-19 Peak: A Best-Case/Worst-Case Scenario
An “Agree to Disagree” Example Reading
To test this spread, I asked how effective the US government's response to the COVID-19 crisis is going to be. I used the dazzling Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus Tarot (a Thoth clone), with reversals.

A “Diurnal Footprint” Example Reading
UPDATE: Turns out I was barking up the wrong site. Later that day I joined the Tarot Study Group (Facebook page) and found what I was looking for. They are an agreeable bunch (Lovers), they keep me hopping (Magician) and I feel like something of an "elder statesman" there (Hierophant). Original Post: I decided to … Continue reading A “Diurnal Footprint” Example Reading
New World Disorder?
With the global response to the spread of the COVID-19 coronovirus bordering on panic, doubts have been raised about the viability of continued globalization in world affairs. I decided to take out my reliable sociopolitical bellwether, the Post-Modern Tarot to ask the question "What will become of the New World Order in the wake of … Continue reading New World Disorder?
