AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is a spread for readers who have trouble making sense of vague or seemingly irrelevant answers from a three-card draw. It requests a "second opinion" from the cards when the outcome of the initial pull does not square with the relative significance of the situation. This is an instance of the "shape" … Continue reading The “Flatline & Spiral” Attitude Adjustment Spread

Ukraine vs. Russia: An “Enemy at the Gate” Conflict-Resolution Reading
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
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 “Left Brain/Right Brain” Example Reading: The Fate of Roe vs Wade
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is the companion piece to the spread I posted earlier today. To test my new "Left Brain/Right Brain" Split-Decision Spread, I decided to tackle one of the most highly-charged and divisive issues of our time from both a legal and emotional standpoint: the fate of the Roe vs Wade abortion law in … Continue reading A “Left Brain/Right Brain” Example Reading: The Fate of Roe vs Wade
2022 and the Nature of “Six-ness” – “Pleasure with Pain for Leaven”
Author's Note: Here is a meditation on the nature of "Six-ness" as it applies to the year ahead. (Please forgive the cynic in me, it's irrepressible.) This is the time of year when everyone and their psychic brother (or, more plausibly, sister, daughter, mother, aunt or grandmother) will be doing an annual forecast for 2022. … Continue reading 2022 and the Nature of “Six-ness” – “Pleasure with Pain for Leaven”
