I'm probably going to disappoint the Trump-haters again, but I try to "just read the cards" with these sociopolitical readings and not grind any axes. As a "third-party" (Libertarian) sympathizer who subscribes to the maxim "Government is not the solution, it's the problem," I like to put US politics under the tarot microscope. There is … Continue reading Trump’s Fate: A “Friends-and-Enemies” Example Reading

A “Perfect Storm” Relationship Reading
To test my "Perfect Storm" new-relationship spread, I decided to look at what the complexion of the US Congress will be after the 2020 elections. For the Significator cards, I used the Rorig Tarot (Spanish Edition) with the Caballero (King) de Espadas for the Republican contingent and the Caballero (King) de Copas for the Democrats. … Continue reading A “Perfect Storm” Relationship Reading
COVID-19 Recovery: End of June Outlook
I haven't done much with Lenormand lately, so I thought I'd throw a 3x3 square to ask where we will be (in the United States) with the coronavirus recovery by the end of June, 2020. My intent was a disease increase/decrease forecast, but that's not exactly what I wound up with. This is Edmund Zebrowski's … Continue reading COVID-19 Recovery: End of June Outlook
Bern or Heartburn? A Democratic Dilemma
UPDATE: It's interesting that the more moderate "also-rans" (Buttigieg and Klobuchar) are apparently being pushed by the Democratic Party machine into toeing the line by backing out of the race and throwing their weight toward Biden as a way to stymie Sanders and avoid a bloody fight on the Convention floor. Original Post: On the … Continue reading Bern or Heartburn? A Democratic Dilemma
Dark Horse Rising? – A “Stirring the Pot” Example Reading
As the subject of my test case for this spread, I chose the campaign of Amy Klobuchar for the Democratic Presidential nomination. As a "small-government" Libertarian sympathizer, I have no use for career politicians of any persuasion, Democrat or Republican (and particularly not Religious Right or Socialist), but I will at least listen to those … Continue reading Dark Horse Rising? – A “Stirring the Pot” Example Reading
Trump’s “Mamushka”
I can tell by the resounding silence whenever I post one that few people here like my political readings (I'm a "small-government" New England Libertarian at heart, not a Liberal or Socialist) but that doesn't stop me and, to be honest, I do my best to "just read the cards" and not inject personal bias … Continue reading Trump’s “Mamushka”
Donald Trump’s “Quintessence” Profile
These days everyone is a pop psychologist. In the minds of the culturally over-stimulated, every egotistical high-achiever who exhibits the slightest lack of empathy is labeled a "narcissist," and any borderline misfit who ever harbors a dark thought is automatically branded a "sociopath." The fact that few of these assumptions would satisfy the medical definition … Continue reading Donald Trump’s “Quintessence” Profile
Brexit Redux: A “B&B” Reading
The title alludes to "Boris and Brexit," not "bed & breakfast," "bread & butter" or "Benedictine & brandy." My last reading on Brexit was November 26 of last year and it predicted that Theresa May wouldn't have "a chance in Hell" as her "support surges away from her" amid "stubborn divisiveness." https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2018/11/26/puttin-on-the-rex/ For this reading … Continue reading Brexit Redux: A “B&B” Reading
A Gun-Control Projection
Bin this one in the "If I Were to Hazard a Guess . . ." idle-speculation bucket. There isn't a more emotional and contentious political "hot-button" issue in the United States right now than gun control. I decided to apply my "Two Paths You Can Go By" spread to explore which way Congress and President … Continue reading A Gun-Control Projection
Julian Assange: A Psycard Reading
When I heard that Julian Assange had been forcibly removed from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, I decided to do a reading to see what fate might await him. I have two decks with a literal "Prison" card in them - the Psycards and the Kipperkarten - and chose one of them for this reading … Continue reading Julian Assange: A Psycard Reading
