Tarot Reading on the Protest-5/30/20

Deck- Tarot Grand Luxe by Ciro Marchetti

Question- I originally asked if the protests would produce an upsurge of positive Covid cases but the reading took off in a different direction of it’s own. I believe it’s reading the spiritual aspects of what these protests will produce. This was read before the violence took place throughout many cities including my own but reading this back this morning, 6/ 1/ 20, it reinforces the power of this reading when I first placed the cards. It encourages and inspires me. Perhaps that’s why when I first pulled the cards and did the reading I had a strong sense of putting it away for awhile and re-visiting it?

Situation- Ace of Wands- a new source of inspiration and passion

Crossing card- 4 of Swords- Taking a rest, recovery

Foundation- 2 of Swords- Duality, balancing and influencing two alternative or complimentary aspects.( What you see isn’t always what you get.)

Past- 4 of Wands- Celebration- Announcement of Positive news

Present- Page of Wands- Eagerness to try new things and new ways

Near Future- Ace of Cups- Deeply experienced feelings and emotional awareness especially love, compassion and affection- comradery

The Protests- King of Wands- Great convictions, original ideas and creative strategies.

Environment surrounding the Protests- 5 of Wands- Various directions, cross purposes, internal conflict

Hopes and Fears- Knight of Swords- assertive action vs. aggressive action

Outcome- Queen of Wands- Energy, warmth, enthusiasm, vibrancy. Handling things with grace.

I found it quite encouraging that both the King and Queen of Wands showed up for this reading. It brings out the yin-yang aspect of the situation and a great coupling.

I think this reading is a reminder for all of us, and me personally, that when all is said and done, if we look deeply into the pure essence of these protests against the senseless brutality and alleged murder of George Floyd and racial divide that still exists, we will see the pure intentions of these protests. A coming together to shine the light on this so that we can move forward together, stronger as a nation for the common cause of freedom from oppression and a seamless blending of all races. We are all one. Black lives matter.

Only through turmoil and unrest can resolution be found.
