Schizo Tarot.

Well, with the way I experience life I realise I might not be suited to Tarot reading in general. I have been thinking about the tarot readings that I have absorbed and even though some of them are very effective and helpful in the moment. A better solution I believe, would be to have the tools to deal with those situations that the tarot is helping with that are better than tarot.

One of my strong instincts being someone that absorbs so much "spiritual" stuff, such as dream interpretation. Is to use every last bit of it and I realise that the tarot as a tool for future telling I can't really use. I use the major arcana in relation to archetypes. But I don't think in relation to tarot reading from now on.

I remember a tarot reading I gave at Christmas to someone that was spot on. It was so spot on in relation to the persons challenges that I had no idea about, that it's a weird thing to think about and during the reading, my mother had to keep on assuring her friend that she had not told me all her secrets ahead of time.

Case in point, I am going to do a bad tarot reading of this video here, I am going to do my instinctual reading of these cards:

Laura's View and Tarot Too: A Peek Ahead, November 2024

These were the positions the reader ascribed:

First card, general theme, second card, clarifier, third card, hidden influence, fourth card, advice, fifth card general outcome, sixth card, where we should put our attention.

US: King of Swords, The Emperor, Nine of Pentacles, Four of swords, The Magician, Four of cups. 

Rest of the world: Eight of cups, The High Priestess, The Emperor, The Heirophant, The Magician, The Seven of Wands. 

The king of swords is known to be about truth and integrity and such, but when combined with the Emperor, I don't see the certainty that this is Trump. I would think that the Magician, the Heirophant, The Chariot, The Star might be Trump. But the Emperor is more of a long term and distinctly Russian kind of figure it seems to me. This could be Putin. 

The Nine of Pentacles is a bored rich girl. This could be the surprise voting block retarding the US movement forward into a sane foreign policy. Or even Kamala herself. Four of swords is exhaustion and burnout types of things. The advice is... There is nothing you can do about this! The magician is the direction of the conscious mind eventually leading to shock before entering the subconscious mind. The four of cups is the rejecting of an offered gift. What gift do the US citizens have to reject if Trump is President for he only gives good gifts? The rejecting of an offered gift is the gifts from Kamala's America. 

The eight of cups is overwhelm and confusion. Where illusions abound. This is how the outside world would respond to Kamala's victory. The High Priestess is the follow on from the Magician. It is number two in the Major Arcana where the Magician is number one. This is the fact that other countries have to then respond to a Kamala Presidency and to escalating global tensions. 

The Heirophant is indeed a difficult card which states that people languish in a good situation. Where there is wealth, soon follow heirarchy and entrenched power structures. Where there is chaos, there is problem solving and innovation. The only solution here is an empowering philosophy that justifies social caution and often social withdrawal, it justifies the application of charm. The magician combined with the following card is the sudden need to fight under this new situation. 

Conclusion

I really obviously hope that we have a Trump Presidency and a de-escalating of global tensions, but I have not seen much to indicate that the vote rigging has been sorted. Yes, there is one or two judge rulings and competant local politicians who are flagging things. But it just doesn't seem to me that the US population on youtube, have done any particular due diligance to justify they sudden faith that Trump will be President despite clear vote rigging in the last election.

These are just my thoughts. Like I said, I don't think Tarot reading is going to work any longer for me personally. I am pretty afraid of this situation personally and have realised that I have had a strong drop in productivity recently for this reason.
