Back in January I performed a Lenormand Grand Tableau to examine the circumstances of the upcoming Congressional election in the United States that is scheduled for November 6. That reading projected a thin margin of victory for the Democrats, but a number of things have changed since that time such that an update is warranted. … Continue reading 2018 Midterm Election Revisited

Unto the Breach
As promised, I erected a mundane horoscope to examine the implications of Mars being singularly bright in the evening sky at the time of the Congressional mid-term elections in the United States. The title of this post alludes to the famous lines from Act III, Scene I of Shakespeare's play Henry V, which conclude with: … Continue reading Unto the Breach
Sporting Event Prediction: Lessons Learned
For roughly two years now I've been using tarot to attempt picking the winners and the comparative scores in sporting events. Needless to say, my track record until recently has been less than stellar. I started off with a bang, accurately predicting the regulation tie between the Patriots and the Falcons in the 2017 Super … Continue reading Sporting Event Prediction: Lessons Learned
2018 World Series, Game 5 Prediction
Game 5 Recap: I'm happy to take a 5-1 Red Sox win as divinatory success when the cards predicted a 4-1 win for Boston. The assumed meltdown of the Dodgers' bullpen didn't materialize as dramatically as anticipated, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts' strategic error of leaving starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw in the game too long … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 5 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 4 Prediction
Game 4 Recap: Beyond correctly predicting the winner, there were a couple of key observations in this reading. The Red Sox with Justice as their "edge" definitely "delivered the verdict in no uncertain terms," and Temperance coupled with Justice allowed them to regain their poise going into the final innings of the game. The Dodgers … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 4 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 3 Prediction
Game 3 Recap: The Dodgers win confirmed the prediction, although by a more slender margin than anticipated. It looks like both pitching staffs were up to the challenge.

A Moving Target
Those who believe they have arrived at mastery of the tarot would be well advised to heed this Terry Pratchett quote from his book, Monster Regiment: “The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.” In my experience, tarot divination is a … Continue reading A Moving Target
The Journeyman
The next leg on the budding tarotists road to mastery usually starts with a line of three cards, often presented in a "past/present/future" array that is read from left to right. As a learning tool, this offers a logical progression that moves from Point A to Point C through the pivotal intercession of Point B, … Continue reading The Journeyman
2018 World Series, Game 2 Prediction
Game 2 Recap: As predicted by the scoring model, the game was a close one, 4-2 instead of 4-3, but the win went to Boston as David Price came through. It seems that all the reversals gave more trouble to the Dodgers, while the Red Sox relievers were flawless. Pitching was the deciding factor, abetted … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 2 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 1 Prediction
Game 1 Recap: For the first couple of innings, my scoring estimate looked like a winner and, until the 6th inning, the game stayed reasonably close to the numbers shown by the spread's scoring model: 5-3 Read Sox vs. the predicted 6-1 final score. But the Red Sox bats eventually lived up to the 6 … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 1 Prediction
