Continuing the series, here is the "Candidate's Profile" for Kamala Harris. As always, read my observations as possibilities, not definite conclusions. The cards tell the tale in their own way and I do my best to translate.

Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Although he hasn't formally declared his candidacy for President in the 2020 election (and it's looking increasingly less likely that he will), I decided to do this reading to assess Joe Biden's chances. I've been using the Albano-Waite RWS deck for these spreads due to its vivid colors and easy readability. Note that my observations … Continue reading Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
A Tarot “How-To” – Deck Randomization
Some of us make a big deal of ensuring that our reading deck is thoroughly "randomized" before we set out to do a reading, so we don't wind up with predetermined card sequences in our spreads - for example, a residue of card combinations left over from a previous layout or, with a brand-new deck, … Continue reading A Tarot “How-To” – Deck Randomization
Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
As promised, I performed my "Candidate's Tarot Profile" spread on Bernie Sanders' 2020 run for President of the United States. The bottom line is that he might be electable if he can convince enough people that he really is on their side. As we shall see, this could be a tough nut to crack. Note … Continue reading Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
I've just created a spread to examine the credibility (aka "cred") of the bumper crop of 2020 US presidential candidates among various demographics of the electorate and also within a number of other crucial "opinion-mills." The bottom line is an assessment of a candidate's overall electability. I tried to keep like parameters together under a … Continue reading 2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
The “Roadkill Penguin” Decision-Making Spread
When I haven't created a new spread in a while, my imagination tends to go into overdrive (or maybe "haywire" is a better way to put it). The visual layout of this one reminds me of a hapless creature that has been run over by a steamroller - not the ideal outcome for a decision-making … Continue reading The “Roadkill Penguin” Decision-Making Spread
Rethinking the “Knights’ Crossing” Spread
UPDATE: This turned out to be a fascinating reading. The facility where the exams are performed has a new scanning machine, and the technician was both inexperienced and under-trained in its use. She botched the first set of scans even after making two attempts, and I had to sit for a third one when that … Continue reading Rethinking the “Knights’ Crossing” Spread
The Psychology of Tarot
I often mention that tarot isn't especially effective for probing the psychology of an individual or a situation, such as occurs when we're trying to penetrate the thoughts and feelings of someone who isn't present at the reading. If Carl Gustav Jung hadn't laid the groundwork with his exploration of archetypes, I doubt the major … Continue reading The Psychology of Tarot
Paired-Deck Reading #1: A Family Matter
A few of the Lenormand writers I follow have mentioned the practice of merging tarot or oracle cards with a Lenormand deck, usually by drawing a handful of cards from an alternate pack as a postscript to the Lenormand reading. I've never found this particularly useful, but lately I've been thinking how it might be … Continue reading Paired-Deck Reading #1: A Family Matter
A Celtic Cross Health Reading
In yesterday's post regarding my upcoming physical examination, I mentioned that a follow-up Celtic Cross reading would be justified by the testimony shown in the preliminary five-card tarot line. I went ahead and did that using the Albano-Waite tarot, with reversals. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In this context, the numerous … Continue reading A Celtic Cross Health Reading
