You Gotta Have Hope

October 28, 2020 |

Hey all! I hope you’re all doing as well as is possible in these trying times, dear readers. Hopefully, most or all of you have voted. If not, I hope you have your voting plans in place. My daughter and I dropped off our ballots yesterday, which felt appropriate given that it was Hillary’s birthday. I remain so angry that the presidency was stolen from her and, as much as I wanted to write in her name on my ballot, I did the sensible thing and voted for Biden (and Dems down-ballot as well). I hope it pays off, especially now that Trump has installed his third Supreme Court Justice, giving SCOTUS an über-conservative majority for a generation. He’s also completely packed the lower courts with super-conservative judges. If Biden wins, I hope he at least considers adding four new Justices to balance out SCOTUS.

Speaking of Biden winning, I did some readings this past weekend about the upcoming elections, both the Presidential election and the Senate races I’ve been covering these past few weeks, and I have some good news! For the first time since I started doing readings about this election cycle, every reading I did was fairly positive! It doesn’t mean anything is a done deal, but you gotta have hope, right? Of course, we can’t solely rely on hope – we have to take action as well. But, hope plus action equals good things.

These are the last readings I’ll do before next Tuesday’s election. Fingers crossed that come November 4, Trump will have had his ass handed to him the night before and will be on his way out!

As always, if you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them here on my blog or interact with me on my various social media accounts. I love hearing from readers and listeners, and I want to know what other topics or themes you’d like me to explore in my readings. Right now, my readings are primarily focused on politics but, I am always open to branching out should you want me to do so.

If you’d like to book personal readings with me, I’m generally available for readings weekdays between 2:30 and 4:30 pm AZ time. My schedule during the weekends is more flexible.

Up in the Air

October 18, 2020 |

Hello everybody. Once again, I’m posting this blog much later than I originally intended. I recorded the audio portion of this blog this past Wednesday, but Mercury Retrograde reared its ugly head immediately and slowed things down for me. As you know, one of my cats has been very ill. You’ll hear in the audio that I ask for everyone to think good thoughts for him. Unfortunately, he crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. My daughter and I are devastated, but grateful that he’s no longer suffering.

The vet visit wiped us out financially for the next two weeks, but what else is new? I read this past week that eight million Americans have been forced into poverty as a result of Senate Republicans and Trump refusing to pass and sign another stimulus bill. As my daughter often says, what a fucking shit show.

I also fractured my foot and will not be able to afford a doctor’s visit for another two weeks. Joy of joys.

It hasn’t been the best week.

But, I wanted to get this blog out for you, my dear readers and listeners. These most recent readings show a mixed bag regarding the energy around the elections. Basically, things are up in the air and nothing is concrete. Those of us who want Trump out still have a lot of work to do, but I remain hopeful. People are voting early in much higher numbers than in 2016. I see many in my social circles helping their friends, family members, and community members get registered and offer rides to voting locations. People are energized and I hope enough of us on the Left are energized to kick Orange Wannabe Mussolini out of office in a few weeks.

As always, if you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them here on my blog or interact with me on my various social media accounts. I love hearing from readers and listeners, and I want to know what other topics or themes you’d like me to explore in my readings.

Final Three Card Reading

Every Week in 2020 Feels Like a Year…

October 7, 2020 |

Hello all. I’m posting this blog much later than I originally anticipated. Unfortunately, one of my cats is very ill and might be at the end of his life. Last past week was spent taking him to the vet and administering home care. It’s not the first time I’ve lost a pet, but it’s never easy. It’s been a difficult time personally.

It’s also been a shit show politically, although it’s arguably been a political shit show since 2016. My original intent was to post a blog last Monday about readings I did on key Senate races happening this cycle and about the Biden/Harris campaign. However, my cat’s needs took precedence and I had to keep delaying posting. And so much has happened in the past week! Since last Monday we’ve witnessed one of the worst debates I’ve seen in my time and Trump and everyone else in D.C. all have Covid now because they couldn’t be bothered to follow CDC protocol and wear masks or practice social distancing.

Although he’s trying to appear fine, Trump is obviously still sick. Will he make it? How many more people have he and his inner circle infected? How many of them will make it? Who the hell knows?!

Anyway, the reading I did on Biden/Harris on last Monday didn’t yield great news, but so much has happened since then that I don’t believe that reading even matters. I’ll try to do new readings to see how energies have shifted and do my best to post a new blog sometime in the upcoming week.

This blog doesn’t include audio, but below you’ll see a breakdown of my readings on the Senate races. I know I keep coming at you with bad news about the Presidential race, but, as things currently stand, Democrats have a good chance of picking up some new Senate seats. Will they get a majority? Maybe. The cards definitely conveyed positive news for these races.

Senate Race Readings

For Amy McGrath in Kentucky, I pulled Temperance. McGrath will need to remain calm and persistent, and keep fighting. At this point, it’s iffy that she’ll beat McConnell. But, it’s not over until it’s over and you never know how the tides will turn, especially in this election cycle.

Justice and the Five of Swords came up for Hickenlooper in Colorado. It looks like he’s going to win his election, but Hickenlooper needs to be on the lookout for Republican machinations against hits campaign.

I pulled the High Priestess and the Two of Wands for Cal Cunningham in North Carolina. These cards signify major change and a better future should Cunningham wins, which I believe is making him popular with voters. His chances of winning are good.

For Sara Gideon in Maine, I pulled the Queen of Swords, which indicates a huge win for her, one bolstered in particular by female voters in the state.

The Ten of Cups came up in my reading for Barbara Bollier in Kansas. She’s well liked, and we might actually see quite a bit of support for her from Independents and Never-Trump Conservatives.

I pulled the Ace of Cups for Mark Kelly here in Arizona. He’s well-liked and is currently ahead of Martha McSally. I’d be very surprised if Kelly doesn’t win.

For Jon Ossoff in Georgia, I pulled The Hierophant, which make sense given that he’s a relative newcomer up against the Republican establishment in a conservative state. I also pulled the Page of Cups for Ossoff, which indicates that much of his base is younger voters. Will the youth vote get elected? It’s hard to say. But, if he does win, it will be because of a younger voting base turning out for him.

Justice and the Three of Pentacles showed up for Jamie Harrison in South Carolina. If he keeps putting in the excellent work we’ve seen from him this election cycle, Harrison will beat Lindsey Graham in a few weeks.

For Steve Bullock in Montana, I pulled The World, which makes sense given his popularity there. Bullock has an excellent chance of winning.

The Six of Swords came up for MJ Hegar in Texas. Hegar’s going to need some luck to beat John Cornyn. They’re close in the polls and some are predicting that Texas could go blue this election cycle. So, a Hegar win isn’t a done deal, but it’s still a solid possibility.

And finally, for Mike Espy in Mississippi, I pulled the Seven of Swords and the Two of Pentacles. The Seven of Swords is the thief card, and the Two of Pentacles indicates that things are still up in the air. If Espy loses, it will likely be because of dirty dealing from the Republicans (hence, the thief card showing up).

May Her Memory Be a Revolution

September 20, 2020 |

Well, it’s been a somber past couple of days. The death of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsberg has understandably instilled fear in so many of us. With her passing, this upcoming election is truly going to be the fight for our lives. A Trump win ensures a dangerous conservative majority in SCOTUS and the end of civil and reproductive rights as we know it.

It’s ridiculous that we live in a country where a ninety-pound, eighty-seven-year old woman was the only thing keeping our democracy alive. We should all be mourning the death of an incredible trailblazer, but instead we’re now forced to figure out how to keep a fascist dictatorship from consolidating all power in November…

I did some readings last night about the general energies around the Presidential election after RBG’s passing, around Trump and his cronies, and around the upcoming Senate elections. Basically, things don’t look good. I hate being a bearer of bad news. Every time I sit down to do these readings, I desperately hope the cards signal better outcomes. But they don’t, not yet anyway. And, as I’ve said previously, I’m not going to lie about what’s coming through in my readings.

Still, it’s my fervent hope that in the coming weeks, my readings won’t be so doom and gloom.

Since RBG’ death, I’ve learned that it’s tradition in Judaism to say, “May [his/her/their] memory be a blessing,” when someone dies. I’ve also seen many Jewish people saying, about RBG, “May her memory be a revolution.” It was RBG’s dying request that her seat not be filled until after the election. Trump & Co. might be able to ram a horrible replacement through anyway, but if the Left can help Biden/Harris win and help Dems secure a Senate majority, Biden can add two more SCOTUS seats. So, we have to fight, and we have to win in November.

Off the topic of politics, a reader asked me to speak a bit on the Photon Belt/Band and how it relates to current universal energies, which I do in the audio portion of this blog. Check out the links below if you’re interested in learning more about the Photon Belt/Band:

An Uphill Battle

September 13, 2020 |

Hi all! For today’s readings, I was asked to begin with a spread on Biden and Harris. I generally start off with readings about Trump & Co., but a friend and follower of my blog specifically wanted me to follow up on The Fool card, which popped up in Biden/Harris’ reading from earlier in the week. I mentioned in my last blog that The Fool represents new beginnings. My friend wanted to me to follow the energy of this card into my first reading this time, asking the Universe to see if Biden and Harris represent a political beginning in the upcoming new year.

I wish I could definitively say that yes, Biden and Harris will win and usher in a new administration. But, as always, the cards signal an uphill battle for the pair. A win for them is not impossible – just difficult given the machinations of a corrupt Republican party, coupled with a lot of help from Russia and voters who make up the Trump Cult.

I also did a reading about Trump and Pence, but instead of elaborating on that reading here (you can listen to the audio), I’d like to use this space to talk about Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II. If you aren’t familiar with him, he’s most commonly known in the past few years for reviving the Poor People’s Campaign. He’s an activist and organizer whose religious beliefs are strongly rooted in making the world a socially just place for all of us. I have great admiration for Dr. Barber and, even though I am not a Christian, I find comfort in his words and wisdom. Especially in these trying times, it’s so important to find voices of light amidst all the darkness. Dr. Barber is one of these voices. I encourage everyone give him a follow on Twitter and/or Facebook, and to check out his website.

Can Anything Stop Him?

September 9, 2020 |

Hi everyone! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood tarot reader, back with another reading that’s going to make me sound like a perpetually broken record! *sigh*

I wanted to get some Universal feedback on whether or not Trump’s comments about fallen servicepeople being “losers” and “suckers” would blow back on him, hurting his reelection chances and – surprise, surprise! – it won’t. I’ve certainly read stories about veterans and people currently enlisted dropping their support for Trump as a result of his malicious words, but he is a political cockroach – it seems nothing can derail the Trump train. Which, of course, has much to do with his literal cult of supporters who are happy to have a Trump dictatorship if it means sticking it to the “libtards”…

Anyway, we’ve still got some fifty odd days until election night and the fight continues!

On a side note, I apologize for being a bit sniffly in this reading. My allergies are awful lately. I’m allergic to pretty much everything in the desert, and my allergies often wreak havoc, even with regular allergy shots.

I’m Telling Ya’ll, it’s Sabotage!

August 28, 2020 |

Hi all! I’m back with another blog and I wish I could say my latest readings yielded better news.

At this point, I sound like a broken record: Things aren’t looking great for the Biden/Harris campaign, Trump is doing his best to steal another election, Putin’s Machiavellian scheming continues, injustice abounds, water is wet…

The cards are telling me that things still look pretty dire and, while I don’t enjoy being the bearer of bad news, I’m not going to lie about or sugarcoat what’s presented to me in my readings. As I always say, though, my readings touch on energy in the present and energies change. Despite how grim things in the world and in the U.S. are right now, I continue to hold on to hope that positive change is on the horizon. It’s just going to take a lot of work and maneuvering around Trump’s criminal syndicate to make that change happen.

In addition to exploring the energy around the 2020 Presidential campaigns, I also touch on the state of the United States Postal Service and the global pandemic.

The Battle Royale Intensifies: Biden/Harris vs. Trump/Putin

August 14, 2020 |

Hi everyone! Now that Biden has chosen Kamala Harris as his VP running mate, I wanted to do some readings exploring the new energy surrounding the campaign. I first did a Celtic Cross spread about the energy of the upcoming presidential election, followed by a Three Card spread on Trump and Putin. I pulled a final card, asking the Universe to offer some wisdom to us in these very trying times. I wish I could say that these readings were positive overall, but I’m afraid that’s not the case. However, as I always say, my readings examine present energies, and energy is ever changing. So, we should all hold fast to hope and optimism as we near November 3^rd.

What’s Up with the Senate, the House, and the Criminal-in-Chief

August 6, 2020 |

Hello everyone! I’m back with another audio blog, a follow up to last week’s readings. I mentioned in the previous blog that Trump was carving a path to another stolen election by potentially postponing the upcoming November election and I was right! He’s been quite vocal in his insistence that the election should be postponed, either citing faux concern about covid-19 exposure at polling places (if this administration actually cared about flattening the covid curve, it wouldn’t be demanding schools reopen this Fall) or spouting off nonsense about mail-in ballots and voter fraud. It’s clear he doesn’t want to let go of his position and we should be prepared to watch this administration use every dirty trick in the book to keep Trump in office for another four (or more) years.

For this blog, I did a general reading about the energy surrounding the November Presidential Election, as well as readings about House and Senate races, Trump’s Real Estate/Bank Fraud situation, and the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell rape and sex trafficking ordeal.

Also, enjoy the cameo appearance by my eldest cat Sebastian, who screeches bloody murder at the beginning of the audio blog. He’s eighteen, kinda grumpy, and sounds like he’s smoked two packs a day his whole life, but he’s a love. A very noisy love.

I said last week that I would be creating transcripts of these audio blogs and, unfortunately, I am behind on getting them done. But, I have every intention of including them eventually; just give me a little time. I’m also still working on getting my YouTube channel together, so be on the lookout for future vlogs!

If you’d like to book personal readings with me, I’m available for readings between 2:30 and 4:30 pm AZ time and on the weekends.

Mixing Things Up!

July 27, 2020 |

Hi all! I’m doing things a little differently with this blog. I mentioned in my previous blog that I was starting a YouTube channel and would be creating video content. This is still in the works, but things have been quite hectic in my world, so my YouTube channel isn’t quite ready to launch. But be on the lookout for future video readings, as I will be posting those here on my blog as well as up on my channel.

For this blog, I recorded audio. Below, I’ll indicate what cards came up in the spreads and I will be posting an audio transcript soon. Feel free to leave comments, questions, or feedback here or on my social media sites.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to be able to step away from Corporate America, so part of the reason I’ve been posting tarot blogs is that I hope to make this my business in the near future. After I can fully step away from the corporate world, I’ll be available full time to do readings. Right now, I’m available for readings between 2:30 and 4:30 pm AZ time and on the weekends. Feel free to book with me during these times. In the interim, if you like the audio readings and would like to donate as I grow my business, you can do so through the following:
