Our Future.

 

Our Future.

Introduction

This one card spread should be used to focus on the way ahead. It will reveal the forthcoming events and influences for our future.

Reading done on the 1st July 2021.

Knight of Coins (Reversed)

Upright: Practical, sensuous, patient, methodical, progress. Sensible course, dependability, industriousness, hard work, conviction. Beneficial science, finding meaning, nature.

Reversed: Confusion, missing vision, instability, greed, indolence. Apathy, material preoccupation, inactivity, tiredness, necessary inner turning.

One Card: 

Focus on the card and try to let yourself become part of it. Look closely and try to imagine you are there inside the picture. Look at every detail and make a story out of all you see. This card will reveal any questions you want answered.

Personal Notes

All this instability around at the moment is starting to make everyone unsure of the future. There seems to be no good news coming from anyone or anywhere.

Conclusion

A very negative time is surrounding us all and nobody seems to have any positive answers. The people in power are all grabbing at straws, broken ones. Everybody seems to be making very bold statements but in reality they are just hiding behind words.

I was hoping for someone with an ounce of intelligence to come forward and show themselves but there is nobody. We have run out of leaders, a person with strength and integrity who can show us the way. Instead, everyone is just covering their own backsides in case they get severely kicked. The future is looking very bleak and this Knight has no answers, just questions.

It's time for someone to step forward and show themselves, a person for the people.

Putin's War in Ukraine.

BBC'S Panorama

What is next for the brave people in Ukraine?

Ukraine - Russian invasion

 Day 2 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Russian civilians protesting in Russia yesterday. According to news reports over 1,000 protesters where arrested by Russian police for protesting PEACEFULLY!

Over 36 hours ago President Vladimir Putin gave his military forces, who had deployed over 200,000 troops along the Northern, Eastern and Southern boarders of the Ukraine, the order to attack and invade in what Putin called a "Special Mission."

Ukrainian military forces prepared themselves to defend their Country, their Peoples and their right to Freedom! 

Nobody, whoever or whatever they think or believe they are or have the right to, can take the FREEDOM AND CIVIL RIGHTS from another! But I am not talking about anybody here. This is Vladimir Putin, a man who has lost all sense of reality, normality, dignity and integrity. He now lives in his own world which he has made for himself, it is cold, dark and lonely and nobody can enter.

Below is a video of the BBC's Security reporter Frank Gardner giving his analysis.

X of Swords

 The Gilded Tarot

Using Rider Waite's Keywords and Meanings

Keywords: ruin, betrayal, loss.

Description: The Ten of Swords is the card of ultimate betrayal. This card indicates that hope for outcomes are not likely to transpire and a sense of loss will come. When this card is the answer to a question relating to a partnership, it is best to have only minimal dealings with the person referred to because, at best, disappointment is likely to be the outcome of this liaison. This is the worst card in the pack. Lost, cold and loveless this card shows the lowest point in fortune. However, since this is the worst it can only get better, improvements must surely follow. The only way from here is up

Upright Associations: Misfortune, plans in ruins, defeat and failure. Hitting rock bottom, betrayal, the end of a cycle. Depression, dispelling false beliefs, overkill. A new day dawns.

Reversed Associations: Temporary success, drastic change, great pain, heartache, sadness. Improvements, turning a corner, opportunity for liberation.

XVI The Tower

 The Gilded Tarot

Using Rider Waite's Keywords and Meanings

Astrological Correspondence: Mars

Keywords: sudden change, pride, houses and buildings, liberation.

Description: The Tower card first and foremost illustrates that neither physical nor emotional structures that we build are permanent and stable instead they can be destroyed suddenly, thereby initiating change that we tried to avoid. The sudden change resembled by the crumbling tower reminds us of letting go of outgrown beliefs and values, of letting go of an illusion, an unhealthy relationship, and an old way of life. The sudden change frees us to face the unknown, frees us to move forward instead of stagnate, frees us from social conventions and enlightens us on our path so that we reach a new level of understanding about our purpose in life.

Upright Associations: Sudden change, abrupt end of a friendship, unexpected events, bankruptcy, downfall. Crisis, clearing out your life, collapse, release of tension.

Not embracing the inevitable change brings out the negative elements that the Tower also depicts, being struck down by one's own doing, by vanity and the inability to change so that one remains stagnant.

Reversed Associations: A change for the better, risks. Time to put your life back together. Catastrophe, inability to release tension, containment. holding on to your old life.
