Depressing / Discouraging

 


Today I foolishly asked if we’ll ever see justice for the destruction and trauma wrought by this presidency… and it’s not great.

This is a keystone reading where I pre-select a Major Arcana card as the center for the reading and keep it in the deck as I shuffle. Then I flip the deck until I find the card—in this case Justice—and read the two cards above it and two below it.

The Empress:

We have an empathetic community dedicated to protecting and providing for our neighbors. The Empress nurtures and creates abundance, and I can see these themes across my network of friends, family, and like-minded strangers.

Seven of Coins (Pentacles):

Hard work, persistence, dedication. This tells me our efforts will continue for the foreseeable future. We will continue to cultivate mutual aid and connection.

Justice Rv:

We are faced with vast injustice. “Law enforcement” continually violates federal and state laws, the constitution, court orders, etc etc. There is ZERO accountability at every level of government and more illegal orders continue to be revealed.

Death Rv:

The people of Minnesota are fighting tooth and nail to fend off the gestapo goons while being beaten and murdered in the streets. The administration and police forces are pushing back on us asserting our constitutionally guaranteed rights. Somehow both sides are digging in harder and harder. Every time we thing we’re gaining ground, we take another hit.

Two of Wands Rv:

There’s a lack of planning. We’re stuck in emergency mode, while the administration has a whole strategy they are implementing a little more each day. We the people could use a breather to establish our goals and  make demands. If this reading is accurate, it would appear we’re on the back foot and will continue to be for a while.

Smells Like Tarot Spirit

  I’m the dork that like to do readings for dead rock heroes. Today I saw a video of Foo Fighters doing a ‘Teen Spirit’ version of Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and I was tickled pink by how much fun they were having. I wondered what Kurt would have thought and I was moved to pull a reading about it.  In the first two cards I can see the trajectory of his success: His creativity, ambition, risk-taking, and charisma was the embodiment of the Knight of Wands.  At the end of his life he had a spiritual crisis - represented by 5 Pents - where he felt creatively destitute. He felt like a fraud and thought everyone could see him failing.  In the end, the 6 Pents seem to say he feels joy seeing his band mates carry on, having fun, being successful, and forming personal connections with their audience.  What do you see?

Literal Tarot

Taking a lesson from other tarot learners and practitioners, I wanted to pull a card of the day to set my intention. What does that mean? According to several Google search result summaries, it is the act of stating what you intend to accomplish through your actions. Mostly I accomplish scrolling through Instagram, daydreaming, chasing the dog away from the front window, drinking coffee - oh - and doing the work I'm being paid for. I don't intend  to be distracted all day, but my actions are distracted so I thought setting intention might help. As I shuffled I visualized my daydream come to life: new house on a chunk of property beyond the burbs; start up a home business that will eventually become more profitable than my day job; have enough to live on in retirement. Then I cut the deck to reveal Two of Pentacles. This tells me I'm successfully juggling multiple priorities... for now. I'm also getting caught up in day-to-day demands but losing sight of the big p...
