Politics - A tarot reading for the coming week

 Asking about our current vulnerability

will US be attacked by terrorists in next week?



The heart of the matter and I get four of swords, truce.  

We are sleeping under swords with our weapons by our side,


The opposing factor is the tethered one. 

We have our hands tied. There is no movement. 

We are in an election cycle and legal challenges tying our hands from being able to act aggressively and in our own interests and the interests of the world.


The root cause gives me the high priestess reversed.

A conceited, selfish, ruthless  woman is the reversal of this card. 


It is “It will be wild" card, a root condition. An insurrection against our government. An inherent instability.


I do not think this woman is Hilary Clinton though if I were a right winged extremist, I would certainly say that. 

And maybe it is her in that she been attacked so viciously for the last decade.


 I think perhaps what underlies all of this in the past is the secrecy of the plots against our country and our rights and liberties. 

There are a fair number of swords in the entiriety of this reading which gives me the idea at the root of these lies 

all of the big lies about Hilary, the last election, and our country that we are  constantly fed. 

It is the statue of liberty turned upside down. 

It is all the factions trying to remove the power of  Democracy world wide. It speaks of the worldwide efforts of patriarchy to remain all powerful.


The past is 2 of pentacles reversed - change. 

Yes, the shit storm of change with gays and blacks and queers and women 

all being givern the power to be voices in the collective 

and it is causing the powers that have solidified 

great grief because these rights and voices threaten their hegemony.  

These liberating changes give powerful people much desire to destroy self determination and other freedoms 


The goals,  cruelty, disinformation and division take away our power.

The goal is queen of swords reversed.  

Another woman - with  Lady Liberty as queen of swords and the High Priestess 

are both reversed, pointing to the cessation our rights and freedoms and especially our economic relevancy.


The future is the prince of swords.

 It is coming rapidly whatever it is. 

The prince or knight of swords is fast moving,

There will be knight coming to the rescue. A statesman?  

The unexpected coming and going of a matter of great concern. 

A restriction of scientific outlook. 

Oh shit. I hate this card here in the future.


Fears is the placement meaning for the next card which is the seven of disks.  

It is a card of examining the roots of a situation. 

And yes I have the fear that our nation as a colonizer has given us all these vulnerabilities. 

The means we have used in settling this country and becoming a super power 

have not been merciful or as full of integrity as we tend to tell ourselves. 

My fear is we are getting what we deserve.


External influences is the next card and I get nine of swords.  

Which is extreme worry for what is to come 

Notice more swords. 

Lots of disinformation and inability to know what is really going on.


In hopes and fears, six of cups

My hope is that our cups will be filled, our hearts made happy and peace reigns. 

The card has a lot to do with nostalgia and looking to the past.

I think we do all hope for the peace we have known in the past, 

unless we are of color, disabled, a woman or any other group that has been discriminated against,

then our nostalgia is not so longed for. Our fear is that it will go to being like the past. 


The outcome is the five of swords, which Allison Crowley declares is worry.


Summary of my interpretation 


Will we be attacked in the coming week? No. We will spend a lot of time worrying about it. There is something , this knight of swords and I don’t know what to think about him. I will draw a clarifying card.


I pull from another deck and I get the seven of swords. 

It is a betrayal. I’m sorry but I feel quite certain that American extremists,

 let by the speaker of the house Johnson, are betraying the American people and we have reason to worry.
