Those who spend time on the tarot forums know that the most frequently asked questions in the reading exchanges, hands down, have to do with romance.

The short answer is "No," but the details are very interesting. In this reading, the "Individual #1 spoke" … Continue reading Republicans and Democrats: “Ne’er the Twain Shall Meet?”

An Astro-Tarot Analysis of a Suicide
This is a detailed study of a recent death-by-suicide using a method I've been developing for combining astrological and tarot techniques in horoscopic analysis.

A 1980 Cold-Case Reading
I recently came across a news report about an investigation by local police and FBI agents into a 37-year-old New Hampshire (USA) missing-person "cold case." http://www.wmur.com/article/officials-search-for-evidence-related-to-1980-missing-person-case/13521816 I have a spread designed for missing-person divination and decided to apply it to this case. Here is the layout: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz9ay5wf44526er/Train%20to%20Nowhere%20Spread.pdf?dl=0 The spread has thirteen positions modeled after a … Continue reading A 1980 Cold-Case Reading
An Astro-Tarot Meditation, Part Two
Continuing from my last post: The 51 cards I extracted from the full deck according to the astrological features of my natal horoscope form what I call a "prepared" deck, or in this case, partial deck. Normally, when I pre-conditon a deck in some way, it's usually by separating out the trump, court and pip … Continue reading An Astro-Tarot Meditation, Part Two
The “PB&J” Sandwich Spread
As usual, I'm having some fun with the title, but the intent of this spread is quite serious. It offers a "Progressive Betterment and Judgment" ("PB&J") outlook for long-range prospects in life improvement, both overall and in specific focus areas. The three-card "sandwiches" provide a past/present/future profile in four areas of personal growth: Inspirational, Emotional, … Continue reading The “PB&J” Sandwich Spread
