The Year 2088 is a spread about Climate Change.
Below is the Tarot spread for the next 68 years and what is expected to happen over that period if nothing is done to reduce Climate Change. Furthermore if the human race doesn’t make drastic changes as a whole there may not be a future for any of us.
The UN COP25 group failed to reach many of their targets this week, and even extended their two week talks by an extra 2 days and nights but still failed to achieve.

June 2020 – December 2020 part 1
This reading was cast on the 31st May 2020 and illustrates the whole year of 2020, showing the past 6 months briefly and a forecast for the next 6 months from the 1st June to the 31st December 2020. I have incorporated the astrological corresponding meanings for all relevant cards to give a clearer understanding of each cards’ situation and placement connection within the spread as a whole.
The spread that I use for such readings as this, is my own CPCC (Cybee’s Psychic Celtic Cross) which takes the Cross spread, elaborates and extends it giving me more depth and wider scope to work with. Anything in red text should be carefully considered as possible negative attitudes and effects on that card and the point in time (past, present, future), throughout the whole reading.
The Question / Present: What is the Question or situation the Querent is pursuing which is in the present but may also have links to the past.
Chariot
Astrological Correspondence: Cancer
Keywords: victory, (material) success, mastery, graduation, completion
Description: The Chariot symbolises enthusiasm, competitiveness, and triumph.
Employing all powers at his disposal, physical, spiritual, and intellectual achieve success and victory. The positive sides of the self, being strong and self-controlled, balancing conflicting emotions, triumphing over obstacles, and sustaining an effort, support attaining goals, thereby leading the way to transformation and self-knowledge.
Upright Associations: Endurance, a journey, decisions at a time of crisis, triumph in adversity, strife leading to victory, revenge taken, spiritual growth. progress. Taking a journey.
A dictatorial approach, recklessness, and extreme ambition can be on the other, negative side of the equation.
Reversed Associations: Conflict, bad news, accidents, a sudden downfall. Life out of control, openness to new ideas, delay. Breakdown of fixed ideas,
My Notes
This is the World’s present situation and how our leaders have dealt with COVID-19 so far. Politics has reigned supreme and admittedly few countries have shown a great deal of support for their peoples. Certain leaders have used this pandemic to illustrate their lack of leadership and management of all situations that have confronted them.
Obstacle / Influence: The Obstacle or Influence is crossing the Querent at this moment in time and he/she may believe they can’t get past this obstacle to go forwards with their lives.
Temperance
Astrological Correspondence: Sagittarius
Keywords: providing aid, healing, concentration, moderation
Description: The Angel between heaven and earth blending different elements into a harmonious substance represents a bridge between polarities like heaven and earth, masculine and feminine, beginning and end. The combining of varied substances serves as imagery for the merging of diverse forces to create a new whole, for co-operation, coordination, a harmonious balance, looking for a middle ground, achieving healing, and recovery. Temperance signifies that moderation is necessary to modify passions and maintain harmony in relationships, and to build on tolerance and co-operation in groups.
Upright Associations: Moderation, temperance, patience. Harmony, fusion, blending, co-operation. Diplomacy, successful negotiations.
In a negative situation, Temperance characteristics are indecision, inconstancy, excess, obsession, and lack of control.
Reversed Associations: Problems, excessive physical exertion, unexpected hostility, conflict. Recklessness, extreme action, fragmentation, immoderation.
My Notes
As if by magic the second card is trying to correct the mistakes made by the first card but this is described as an Obstacle/Influence. Temperance is working very hard to bring balance, harmony, co-operation, healing and most of all recovery to the present situation, yet some are just pursuing their own path and believe that they are right in doing so.
Thoughts and Ideas / Future: This card’s position being above the Querent is, I think, what is in their mind. What are their thoughts and concerns that may affect any future outcome and prospects.
Queen of Wands
Astrological Correspondence: (Leo)
Keywords: strong, determined, sure, temperamental, loyal
Description: The Queen of Wands depicts a woman who has an active and fiery nature. She often represents women in business because she has a good head on her shoulders and is able to make sound decisions.
Upright Associations: A love of life, eagerness for experience, dynamic, strong-willed. Hearth & home, balance in career and family. Volunteer, charity, active participation.
Reversed Associations: Competitive, manipulative, knowledge without wisdom, anxiety. Narrow mindedness, envy, bitterness.
My Notes
What does the World want now and in the future. A strong, determined and sure Leader to take us forward but this card is only thoughts and dreams and has not manifested into reality. It can only show HOPE for the future of humanity.
Long term / Past: The card placement beneath the Querent can underline long term past influences that the Querent reflects on in present times.
Tower
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.
My Notes
For many of my earlier years in life I would be afraid to confront problems and situations I encountered. I worried constantly about how I could face up to the problems. Most of the time I would just wait to see what happened and hope that they would just go away or resolve by themselves. This is the Tower card and how it affects this problem. It will kick you hard and fast if you fail to deal with your problems and make you do something that you never expected and probably change your life for the better along with teaching you something new at the same time.
Past: Events and issues that have happened recently and may be affecting and influencing the present.
Seven of Swords
Astrological Correspondence: Moon in Aquarius
Keywords: dishonesty, deceit, slander, cunning.
Description: The Seven of Swords is at the best of times a card of superficiality, and at its worst, deceit and slander. When this card appears, we should never expect sincerity or friendship. The best attitude to take is to be courteous and polite, but guard secrets and thoughts diligently because people will tend to either twist words spoken or take credit for other’s ideas. Direct confrontation to an opponent will not work. You have to be cunning and use all your willpower to defeat an enemy. Perhaps you have to sacrifice something in order to succeed. Your efforts may not be whole-hearted.
Upright Associations: Insights, strategy, sudden desire and/or impulses, intelligence. Animal cunning, tactics, manipulative, taking advantage of situations. Evasiveness, stealth, ownership.
Reversed Associations: Good advice, easement in pressures and/or problems. Pessimism, return of lost or stolen items. Dishonesty, deceptions, clarity, constructive criticism.
Astrological Correspondence: Moon in Aquarius
If you have the Moon in Aquarius, your emotions tend to be guided by intellect and you can be very detached when it comes to dealing with them. Others may think you cold and aloof because they don’t understand the ways in which you deal with your feelings. This position steadies your emotions. You find security in dealing with and working with groups of people, especially in endeavors that benefit the majority. You are inventive, original, and progressive in thought and want to make the world a better place to live in. Family ties and attachments may not be as important to you as they are to others and you perhaps often consider your friends closer to you than your blood relatives. You need freedom and independence in your relationships with others. You back away at times if they get too close. You very much hate a partner who is jealous and possessive. You like to experiment and play the field. There is small affection for the conventional and the traditional. You tend to be friendly, intuitive, humane, progressive and independent. You are broad-minded with a desire to investigate all knowledge. You may have difficulty in understanding the emotional needs of others. At times you express unusual ideas simply to shock or surprise others out of their lethargy or just to see what kind of a reaction you’ll get. On the negative side you can be impersonal, stubborn, erratic, rebellious, rigid, emotionally cramped and selfish.
My Notes
The imagery on this card tells all the stories of our politics in the past and not just one or two countries but worldwide. Politicians have failed the people they are supposed to protect and keep safe. Politics caused and fueled this pandemic and failed the world and humanity as a whole and then ran away, blaming the whole episode on something or someone else. The descriptions and meanings of the card alone tell us what these people are capable of. The worst is yet to come, just look at the Astrological Correspondence which relates to this card.
The Querent’s Possibilities / Near Future: This card will show what may be the possible outcome of the reading in the near future.
Six of Coins
Astrological Correspondence: Moon in Taurus
Keywords: charitable, kindness, respect, helping the less privileged, balance.
Description: Six of Coins is the philanthropic card in the Tarot. Doing good deeds, donating to charity, or embarking on community service are all associated. Additionally, if a favour has been done in the distant past, expect it to be returned in some way when least expected and when needed most.
Upright Associations: Repayment, sharing, generosity, good fortune. Loan, assistance, charity. Giving, receiving, getting what you deserve, karma.
Reversed Associations: Redistribution, reconsideration, greed, jealousy, unfair treatment, unhappy outcome. Prideful denial, ambition, speculation, gambling.
Astrological Correspondence: Moon in Taurus
If you have the Moon in Taurus, your emotional nature is steadied and others find this quality soothing in you. You are generally even-tempered and peace-loving and are not easily ruffled or given to emotional displays. You can be downright stubborn at times, especially when it comes to making changes that are emotional in nature or that require emotional adjustment. You seek security and often expect this security to come from material possessions and resources. Hence, you desire to collect material goods and money. You cling to things from the past or things you are used to in order to find this security. A great deal of affection and closeness is needed by you and this helps to assuage feelings of insecurity. But sometimes you hold onto people much too closely so they feel they can’t breathe. You expect loyalty in love and you are very devoted to those you care about. You have the tendency to indulge in sensual comforts and activities. Eating rich or sweet food seems to give you security. You may have a weight problem because of this. Food can become a substitute for emotional satisfaction and love. You are resourceful, determined, and persistent. You perhaps have a green thumb and are good at getting anything to grow and prosper. You are happiest when working with your hands, probably with the earth or things of the earth. You can be lead but never pushed into doing things. You hate and fear sickness and pain. Too great a comfort with the status quo can prevent you from making necessary changes. Don’t be too rigid in thought or deed.
My Notes
A new balance is required and the 6 of coins shows what is needed along with its link with astrology. Will our future change for the better and can the scales be tilted towards a more positive outcome. I always think of this card as “little justice” so maybe that is all we will get.
The Querent’s attitude in the matter. / Present: The Querent’s attitude including their position in the matter in the present moment. This card should start to open up the bigger picture.
Ten of Cups
Astrological Correspondence: Mars in Pisces
Keywords: contentment, completion.
Description: Ten of Cups is a card of completion as happiness and harmony prevails. It seems as if the ultimate in emotional fulfillment and well being have been achieved. Peace, friendship, good companionship and family happiness that is going to last. An excellent card for group activities denoting success and fun. It foretells a wish fulfilled and that everything will work out for the best.
Upright Associations: Successful and happy family life, lasting friendship, joy, harmony. Matrimony, pleasant opportunity, sharing your home. Over excess, showing off.
Reversed Associations: Quarrels, domestic stress, disruption to home life. Rejecting your family; values and/or traditions. Discontent, unhappiness, a dying dream.
Astrological Correspondence: Mars in Pisces
If you have Mars in Pisces, your energies and aggression tend to come out in non-combative and noncompetitive ways. You are a bit of a pacifist and do not enjoy tackling anyone or anything head-on in a directly confrontational manner. Working around people or situations or working behind the scenes, in secret, is more your preferred style. If necessary, it is more your tendency to give up something rather than to fight for it. Because your ego is not especially interested in personal achievement, glorification, material advantage, or winning at the expense of someone else, you may come across to others as weak-willed or ineffectual. Being on top, being the best, or being first doesn’t mean much to you, hence you can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that you believe in. You may experience difficulties in planning clear and definite goals for yourself in the real world. You are not sure what you want out of life, except you instinctively seem to know that you do have and need to find a spiritual purpose. You have many dreams, high ideals, and a strong mystical or religious impulse. You also have a creative imagination and can successfully apply yourself to art or music. You are intuitive, humorous and diplomatic, quiet on the outside, but restless within. On the negative side you can be indecisive, procrastinating, too interested in the sensual side of life, and may resort to using drugs or alcohol as a way to escape the pressures and responsibilities of dealing with everyday life. Learning self-control is important for you. Take action, don’t only day-dream.
My Notes
This card being a 10 denotes the completion of a cycle but it is probably the beginning of a new one which may take the form of weakness while all around you others are fighting and need strength of unity to carry on. Don’t be lead by your comfortable existence, open your eyes and see what is happening around you. Stay alert and guard yourself as well as others because a new fight is about to start and you must be prepared and ready to stand fast and hold your ground.
Views of others and their Influences: Views of others are often seen as interference and their Influences a burden or help.
Ten of Swords
Astrological Correspondence: Sun & Moon in Gemini
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, over kill. A new day dawns.
Reversed Associations: Temporary success, drastic change, great pain, heartache, sadness. Improvements, turning a corner, opportunity for liberation.
Astrological Correspondence: Sun & Moon in Gemini
Sun in Gemini natives are friendly, clever, talkative, versatile, curious, perceptive, intuitive, and logical. At times, they can also be quite contradictory, restless, two-faced, critical, and impatient. Gemini people enjoy and need work that includes a great deal of variety. They love to do several things all at the same time, sometimes making them late for appointments. They abhor boredom. Gemini natives tend to flit from one experience to another, gathering in all types of information along the way, but seldom getting to the depth of any subject. They go broad and not deep. Persistence is not their strong suit. Gaining knowledge and disseminating it is their real talent. Hence, they make wonderful salespeople or teachers if they stick around long enough to get all the facts instead of only half the story. Even if they do not possess all the facts, since they are never at a loss for words, they will continue with their story as if they did have all the facts.
It is important for a Gemini natives to seek intellectual satisfaction. Mental stagnation turns them off, so they read extensively and communicate widely in order to satisfy this longing for mental stimulation. This discontent can make them either very ambitious, or it can incline them to jump from one thing to another, searching for the greener grass which never appears.
Gemini natives usually think quickly on their feet and have the ability to use the right words in any situation. They possess tremendous wit and a good sense of humor. Other people may have difficulty in keeping up with their rapid change of subjects.
Because Gemini natives think so quickly, they often finish other people’s sentences for them. This can be most frustrating for the person trying to express their own thoughts. There is a need to learn how to control the tongue and allow slower people to express their own opinions and ideas.
Since Gemini natives have the capacity to see both sides of any issue, they may fluctuate back and forth between opposing viewpoints. They will usually tend to side with the opinion of whomever they happen to be with at the moment. Then they change as the circumstances change. Indecisiveness is a problem for Gemini natives.
Gemini natives are usually emotionally detached. They use their minds rather than their hearts to find their way through things. Logic and reason are their guidelines. They are able to understand what makes other people behave as they do, but they have difficulty in projecting themselves into the emotional reactions of the person involved.
Some of the negative traits that Gemini natives possess are lack of concentration and focus, undependability, fickleness, indecisiveness, superficiality, wishful thinking, and dreaminess. They can also be pretty good at nagging.
Gemini natives need to work on getting their mind under control. Their nervous system is highly strung. If they don’t learn to control their nerves, they are apt to become ill. The way out of this difficulty is to take the emphasis off themselves and lose it through service to others. Above all, the Gemini needs to learn to channel (control) their energy and mind.
If you have the Moon in Gemini, you tend to intellectualize your feelings. Your moods come through your words. At times you are totally unaware of your own or other people’ deeper feelings and emotional needs. You talk out your feelings and moods. Your primary need is to communicate and to share knowledge. You tend to avoid heavy, emotional relationships and involvements because their is some tendency to superficiality. Commitment scares you. You require plenty of mental stimulation and you feel closest to people with whom you can share thoughts and mental interests. You get turned on sexually through the mental side of things. You have a versatile and receptive mind with a great desire for knowledge. You can be charming, witty and warm-hearted. Nervous tension, anxiety, and stress may be a problem for you. You probably dislike arguments and have a tendency to talk too much. You may tell people what they want to hear rather than the truth. Mental control should be developed or else indecisiveness and constant changing of your mind will become a way of life for you.Sun in Gemini natives are friendly, clever, talkative, versatile, curious, perceptive, intuitive, and logical.

My Notes
This card has turned up at the wrong time. Communication of the truth is paramount at the moment so don’t be led by false hopes and lies. Ensure that you verify what is instructed to you, of course obey and follow the rules just make sure you are not following sheep.
Thoughts and Emotions / Present: The Querent’s thoughts and emotions in the present moment can give the game away but remember, until they manifest they are not real yet.
Empress
Astrological Correspondence: Venus
Keywords: ideas, creative impulses, intellect
Description: The Empress signifies the queen of life, the perfect woman, the archetypal mother. She represents the matriarchal goddess, being part of nature, fertility, sexuality, and the generative forces. As the life-giving mother she is connected to the Earth and the natural rhythms, the appreciation of the senses. As a card of good fortune, she signifies that if we are gentle and caring, as well as patient. We can bring anything to fruition; we have to be able to wait until the time is right for action so that we can reap the rewards, hard work pays off and relationships become satisfying.
Upright Associations: Fruitfulness, growth, action, development, well-being and security. Love and parenthood, maternal care, fertility. Passion for life, the earth and nature.
The Empress can, in negative situations, also depict vanity, undeveloped creativity, stagnation, and apathy.
Reversed Associations: Despair, financial loss, possessiveness, barrenness, unwanted pregnancy, shattering of illusions. A time for reflection, rationality, domestic disharmony, need to comfort self.
My Notes
I think of this card representing “Mother Earth” all the feminine signs and motherly attributes. So much needs to be done now to rescue our situation, overcome COVID-19 and the disruption it has brought around the world. Our thoughts and emotions need to be tempered and new strategies adopted which will help us move forwards into our new future.
The Outcome / Present: This card may be the Outcome but do remember that, nothing and no one can predict any future. Fact!
This card can only suggest what the outcome might be, if at all.
Two of Coins

Upright Associations: Imminent change, and the need and ability to maintain harmony while juggling with different aspects of the situation. Flexibility, fun, playfulness.
Reversed Associations: Superficial harmony, artificial happiness, letters. Over: burdened, worked, playfulness. Carefree, careless, immature, inflexible.
Astrological Correspondence: Jupiter in Capricorn
If you have Jupiter in Capricorn, your positive qualities are honesty, sincerity, faithfulness, ingenuity, resourcefulness and some degree of mechanical ability. Your attempts at growth, expansion, meeting new opportunities and getting ahead in the world are met with reserve, discipline, caution, system, practicality and organization. You have a desire for material success, yet this may not bring satisfaction or happiness if gained. There may be a tendency toward miserliness and withholding yourself from the rest of the world, financially and emotionally. You hate waste, are self-reliant and self-controlled, and possess a desire to have authority over others. You can rise to great heights if you stay honest, truthful, respectful, and keep your nose clean doing everything above-board.
My Notes
The astrological aspects of this card give clear, concise instructions on what must be done to achieve a mutual understanding of how we embark on a new way of living now and for the future of our children.
The Querent’s attitude in the matter. / Near Future: What could be The Querent’s attitude including their position in the matter in the near future.

Hermit
Astrological Correspondence: Virgo
Keywords: awakening, enlightening, shedding light, the “key” to a situation, crisis, isolation
Description: The Hermit card symbolises meditation, reflection, and solitude. As one of the cards resembling old age it also represents bearing the light of wisdom, looking into the unconscious, observing dreams. There is an emphasis on peace and patience, by which maturity is reached, and a striving to connect to the higher spiritual self. The Hermit also depicts the spiritual leader, the taskmaster who leads with purpose, conscience, and wisdom. A mature person, the Hermit symbolises deliberation about which path to follow, reassessment of achievements and goals, and taking the time to reflect and plan.
Upright Associations: Counsel sought and taken. Forethought, discretion, prudence. A wise mentor. A time for reflection. Seeking self knowledge, self awareness and acceptance.
In a negative environment this card can resemble excessive isolation, lack of communication, intolerance, crisis and doubt.
Reversed Associations: Secrecy, lies, fear of the occult. Appearing to have it “together”, handling difficult circumstances with ease. Wisdom spurned, overdependence on others.
My Notes
The warnings have been coming throughout this reading and yet we seem to have disregarded them. Is this the point in time where everyone is just so tired of hearing the sirens being sounded, day after day? Lockdown has been implemented far too late and the people just don’t care anymore. Our spiritual side of humanity has been forgotten and at times lost, all that seems to matter is, “what is mine and how much can I own”. Material attitudes and selfishness is the new normal and the fact that people just don’t care what happens to others is paramount to the individual now. “I must survive” is the new motto.
Introduction
This traditional Twelve House Spread includes astrological keywords (in parenthesis) for the houses, signs, planets, elements and qualities. Also included is the sun timing for entry into each house. I am only focusing on the last 3 months of 2020 and have also produced a full 12 month reading which includes the first 9 months of 2021, starting in January. Because of the timing overlaps of the houses I have to show 4 houses, 7 to 10 inclusive which covers the last 3 months of 2020.
The Upright and Reversed Associations are based on whether the card is placed upright or reversed when dealing. All cards were dealt upright but both meanings are relevant to the house that it has been placed in and based on the Yin Yang principles of good/bad, black/white, right/wrong etc. When confronted with a dilemma such as Covid-19 you must take all aspects of the situations to determine some kind of assemblance out of the chaos which has been unleashed on the world. Once you introduce all the human aspects to these types of situations there is no guaranteed positive or negative outcomes, only more chaos.
SEVENTH HOUSE – Marriage and Partnership “I BALANCE”: The Seventh House (partnerships, marriage, conflicts, identification within a group), is an Angular House (action, motivation). It is ruled by Libra the Scales (balance, order, justice, sometimes unemotional), with the element of Air (communication, intellectualism) and is a Cardinal sign (outgoing, social, lack follow-through on projects). Libra is ruled by the planet Venus (romance, beauty, artistry, sociability). Timing: about September 23 – October 22.
Knight of Coins
Keywords: future projects and ventures, offers of some kind.
Description: The Knight or Prince of Coins has two meanings. The first indicates a young man who is very practical. The second indicates further development of a material venture which, if handled correctly, could bring about future projects.
Upright Associations: Practical, sensuous, patient, methodical, progress. Sensible course, dependability, industriousness, hard work, conviction. Beneficial science, finding meaning, nature.
Reversed Associations: Confusion, missing vision, instability, greed, indolence. Apathy, material preoccupation, inactivity, tiredness, necessary inner turning.
The timing is one of the main points of interest, in that it focuses not only on the 7th house but also the later part of September and most of October and so enters an entirely new era for each and everyone of us. The 7th has indicated “balance” which has not been around since lockdown was ended. If we don’t heed the rules then the (RA words) above must surely come into play and if they manifest into reality then hope may be lost in our fight against this deadly virus. The (UA words) above are the positive outcome and are telling us what has to be achieved in the coming months. If we disregard this offer that the card offers then we only have ourselves to blame.
EIGHTH HOUSE – Death and Regeneration “I DESIRE”: The Eighth House (transformation, regeneration, sexuality, death and taxes, psychic ability), is a Succedent House (resources, stability). It is ruled by Scorpio the Scorpion (passionate, emotional, persistent, intense, obstinate, unyielding), with the element of Water (emotion, intuition) and is a Fixed sign (persistence, predictable, inflexible, stubborn). Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto (destiny, redemption, power, afterlife, good and evil). Timing: about October 23 – November 21.

By the time we reach the 8th house and nothing has changed for the better, if our situations are becoming worse, this card is giving us the chance to turn things around, it’s not too late. Take a long look at the (Keywords) and (Description), we can reverse the negativity caused by this virus.
NINTH HOUSE – Mental Exploration “I SEE”: The Ninth House (philosophy, religion, law, long journeys, higher education, publishing, in-laws), is a Cadent House (diversification). It is ruled by Sagittarius the Archer (energetic, ambitious, generous, freedom-loving, an explorer), with the element of Fire (aggression, leadership) and is a Mutable sign (adaptable, too changeable).

Judgement
Astrological Correspondence: Pluto
Keywords: judgement, resurrection, healing, music, good news, revelation.
Description: The Judgement card represents the judgement day or awakening call heralding a rite of passage. As one cycle comes to an end we need to prepare for a new stage in our development, the future is waiting. Now is the time when past efforts yield positive results, when we can reap the rewards, when we realise that we are drawn in a new direction and recognise our true calling. In it’s positive meaning the Judgement card reminds us that through honesty and true reflection we can realise where we have erred on our path and that we need to forgive ourselves to regain a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment.

Reversed Associations: Hesitation, denying change, poor judgement. indecision. Stagnation, closing off spiritually, needs to evaluate your direction.
This is our judgement for the past year on how we have reacted not only to this terrible virus but to one another. Disrespect, self-appointed righteousness and absolute disregard for others, this is our legacy to our future generations. If we don’t change our attitudes then we have failed the children of tomorrow. You only have to read about what this card means to understand what is to become to humanities future.

Finally the planet Saturn, our teacher, appears to warn of what could be, if all the right and positive changes are made. On personal note, I don’t think we have learned anything and the new year will be the same as the last and maybe even worse.
This is not a prediction it is just a warning for the whole of humanity.
To understand the meaning of life, read “The Fool’s Journey” it gives a sense of what each of us have to go through on our journey through life. The experiences, the people and things that we encounter that shape who we are, our character and personality that we adopt and eventually, who we become but that is not the end, we still need to carry on learning, understanding even making more mistakes. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn by them and the same is with our achievements too. Every day that we spend on this planet is precious and taking it for granted is just a waste. To understand the real meaning of life I look through other peoples eyes to see and try to feel what they are going through, that’s why I read Tarot, to understand what the other person is going through at that moment in time. While researching the history of Tarot I have probably read hundreds of books and documents about the subject and more but someone once said or wrote, that reading and understanding the story of the Fool on his journey through life was quite real and then he said, “I have reached a point in my life and feel there is more to do, so I read the Fool’s Journey again but this time I started at the end read back to the beginning and suddenly I began to truly understand the meaning of life and what I should do next.”
I have also tried this and found that had I not made certain mistakes and choices in my life I may have become someone else entirely and would probably not be writing this article today. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to others through my readings and consulting and found that to give is far more fulfilling to me than to take. A lesson I should have learned many years ago.
I feel that I have to put a certain theory or should I say acceptability through the wringer before my head explodes with trying to answer the question of ‘Predictability’. For over 30 years, people have asked me the question, how can using Tarot cards produce the answers to the future, tell fortunes, be able to predict the future. The only answer I can give is, “To be honest, I don’t know, but it does seem to work”. And the same goes for any other form of divination except Astrology, which is not a predictive tool but a system that identifies all aspects of our lives which relate to the planets influences which in turn affects our day-to-day actions and thoughts. Most Astrologers would probably explain the fact that we, (that is, us humans) have what’s called, ‘Freewill’, and so are able to choose how we wish to live our lives and ignore the influences the planets offer. Chaos theory has been around for many years and has been used by many Scientists, Physicists, etc, to work with all sorts of mathematical equations and scientific theory’s in the past and present and so I have no qualms of its existence. Chaos Theory does exist. So lets move on, to the next part of this article and that is, Prediction. But before I do, I would just like to add some outside information, which follows……
In experimental physics, there are always observational errors determining variables such as positions and velocities. So perfect prediction is practically impossible. Moreover, in modern quantum mechanics,Werner Heisenberg’s indeterminacy principle puts limits on the accuracy with which such quantities can be known. So such perfect predictability is also theoretically impossible. This paragraph is taken from Wikipedia on Predictability.
So, should I pack up my faithful Tarot cards and disappear into the wilderness because some physicists have proved that prediction is impossible or take the stance of, Freewill, and carry on dealing my cards to anyone who ask me to read for them. Well that has to be my decision and no one else’s. If I believe that divination works, to some extent, then why shouldn’t I carry on reading the Tarot and help others to understand the effects Tarot cards can have on their future. I also believe that, without Chaos there can be no Order and that gives me the strength to carry on reading my Tarot cards so at least I can assimilate some kind of order from the chaos my clients bring to me in their questions.
As I sit here shuffling my Tarot cards and wondering if I can predict the lottery numbers this week for £170 million I know deep down, that is all it is, a lottery. So how can I predict the exact 7 numbers from possibly a randomly generated sequence of several hundred millions to one. To be that accurate every week, would be either pure luck or simply amazing and unnatural. Yet some people win, how do they do it? Simple, they play the same numbers, week in and week out and by some coincidence they match the winning numbers. That is NOT predicting, it is pure luck on their behalf. There are hundreds of examples like that associated with gambling, maybe thousands. I will keep reading Tarot cards and writing about divination systems but that doesn’t say I can predict the future or maybe I can, it’s just that people don’t always tell me when I am accurately correct.

A very old and rare spread. Dr. Yoav refurbished the Tarot de Marseille which he named CBDTarot de Marseille.
When reading to clients these days I tend to talk a lot, in a sort of, thinking out loud, type of way as I lay out the cards. I obviously know what to expect as each card is drawn out because the client has given me the question to answer and so I might say something like, “let’s hope you get such and such a card” or “I hope you don’t get this card”. Generally one or both of the cards I’ve just suggested get drawn out at some point.
Q: The question that the client will always ask me is, “ How did you know that card or those cards would come out in the spread ”?
A: The answer I would always give is, “ I didn’t know ”.
Over many years of doing live readings, sometimes called, one-to-one readings or open readings, I have noticed many ways the cards start to give you, as a reader, more and more insight, intuition, expectation and of course experience in interpreting a reading so that I, as a reader can give to my client honest, clear, truthful and unbiased answers to their question/situation.
I always tell my clients, “ that the cards never lie ”, only people do.
Whenever you do a Tarot reading, you have to look at the past to reveal the future. I sometimes wonder though when I see these Tarot readers advertising a 1 card reading to clients. Yes, as a meditating card you can use just one card but surely not for a clients reading, even if it is FREE. How do you get, past, present and future from 1 card? The answer is, you can’t! That’s why somebody had this amazing idea to invent, “The 3 Card” spread. Of course I’m being cynical about it so stop doing it. Give the client the facts and stop being lazy or tight. I just needed to get that off my chest.
Why do we look at the past to reflect or reveal the future? Well I have to say it’s just logical, it’s part of human nature to look back in time and history just so that we can understand the rights and wrongs that people have made in the past and make sure we don’t make the same mistakes that others have. It also helps us to learn by our own past history and rectify any of the bad choices we may have made along our chosen paths. You see now, the terminology that I have been using has been written into the Tarot along with its symbolism.
The Fools Journey is an excellent example of how we have to choose the correct paths to tread throughout our own individual life’s journey. Life is too short and precarious to gamble with and like the old knight who guards the Holy Grail, says to Indiana Jones “to choose wisely” when he looks at all the chalice’s to choose from. History is the book of life and a proficient reader can determine the outcome accurately from the scrutinising of any and all cards that are positioned in the past places of a spread. If you take a look at my, Psychic Celtic Cross spread you will see that I describe some of the positions of the cards as both, recent past and distant past and allows me to gather enough factual information just like glue. This in turn with the present positioned cards give me the tools and resources to construct a professional and accurate reading.
That my dear friends and colleagues is why we all need to reflect on the past.
