UPDATE: The remains of Austin Colson were found in a wooded area of northern Vermont not long ago, and positive identification has now been made. He died of a gunshot wound to the head. http://www.wmur.com/article/human-remains-found-in-norwich-identified-as-austin-colson/21084837 My instincts were apparently sound in this case, although my reading wasn't too accurate as a whole. There may very … Continue reading Where Is “A . . ?” A Missing Person Spread

Rethinking the Monthly Lunar Look-ahead
Before I get into the subject of today's post, here is an interesting web-site that shows the eight cardinal and ordinal phases of the monthly lunation cycle as named by eminent astrologer Dane Rudhyar, in terms of the percentage of visibility, making it possible to pinpoint when a given sub-phase "perfects" during the month in … Continue reading Rethinking the Monthly Lunar Look-ahead
2018 Super Bowl Prediction
Let's try this again using the same spread. The National Football League championship game predictions were inaccurate as far as determining the winners and losers but not that bad concerning the mechanics of scoring. For the Super Bowl reading I decided to use the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery as the main deck and the … Continue reading 2018 Super Bowl Prediction
Update #2: NFL (NFC) Championship Game
In this case, it looks like the raw scores I came up with by adding up the card values were the most accurate: the projected 36-14 best-case win for the Philadelphia Eagles over the Minnesota Vikings was not far removed from the actual 38-7 final score. (The Eagles did in fact "run away with it" … Continue reading Update #2: NFL (NFC) Championship Game
Update #1: NFL (AFC) Championship Game
Interesting game. With only 9 minutes remaining in the 4th Quarter and the Jaguars up 20-10, it looked like my forecast of a 21-14 Jaguars win was on target, and even the final score (Patriots 24, Jaguars 20) wasn't that far off the mark either except for not actually identifying the winner and loser as … Continue reading Update #1: NFL (AFC) Championship Game
Cheap Shots #30: The Shadow Knows
Time - and, it seems, conventional wisdom - flies (maybe out the window?) when you're having fun, which in my case involved pursuing a career and helping raise a family while tarot languished for a few years. When I found my way back, the landscape had changed. I discussed this in detail in a previous … Continue reading Cheap Shots #30: The Shadow Knows
Where Is Justin? A Missing-Person Spread
A young man from New Hampshire recently went missing in Guatemala while swimming alone across a lake. He was apparently checked on by people in a boat, said he was OK and continued his swim, but never returned. http://www.wmur.com/article/crews-search-for-tamworth-man-missing-in-guatemala/15164741 I have a missing-person spread that I've used successfully in the past to analyze such cases, … Continue reading Where Is Justin? A Missing-Person Spread
You, Me or the Universe?
One of my favorite on-line debates involves what to do with the court cards. The traditional approach is to consider them as other people involved in, or with an interest in, the querent's situation. It even went so far as attempting to describe the physical appearance of the person in question. But with the rise … Continue reading You, Me or the Universe?
The “Wheel of Opportunity” Relationship Spread
I have always been fascinated by the idea that a relationship between two people (or two of "anything") is really a three way proposition; it involves the two parties to the situation and the relationship itself, which can become "bigger than both of them" and require dedicated care and feeding by both participants to avoid … Continue reading The “Wheel of Opportunity” Relationship Spread
The Time of the Season
Every year on the Winter Solstice I perform my "Wheel of the Year" spread for the coming year. This a 17-card layout with one trump card for the annual focus, 4 trump cards for the four quarters, and 12 minor cards (including courts) for the twelve months, moving clockwise from the Solstice. I use the … Continue reading The Time of the Season
