The Sibilla and Combover Caligula

 

I wanted to know how much more "mourning" Trump will be allowed before they re-schedule his deposition (that was postponed on 7/15 "in consideration.") What's happened so far:

7/14 Ivana dies
7/20 Ivana's funeral
7/22 Rally in Arizona
7/23 TPUSA in Florida
7/28 Pro-Am Golf Tournament NJ
7/29-7/31 Saudi LIV Golf Extravaganza NJ

I used a Vera Sibilla - no reversals as I'm a bit rusty with it. (This is a practice read.) The spread is basically a French Cross, except I didn't add the cards to arrive at a synthesis for card 5, I just laid a card. (Sibilla, as you guys know, has no Majors and isn't numbered straight through like Lenormand.)

The Sibilla, as always, lived up to its reputation for chattiness and gave me more than I asked for, lol. The first thing I noticed is that there are three diamonds, indicating an element of risk. There's certainly risk involved on all sides. Diamonds are also concerned with money. (This is "just" the financial fraud and not the sedition - its all about money.)

Card 1 is the 10 of Spades, Militare. I think the New York Attorney General's office is strong, they mean business. The soldier is determined, tenacious, and has every intention of going over the mountains.

Card 2 is the Queen of Diamonds, Donna Maritata. Cards in this position can help or hinder the situation. This card is positive, as it indicates a caring woman who is also practical. It might be Leticia James herself, even if she is unmarried. A person can be equally committed to their career. I think she very much wants to see him finally get some consequences.

Card 3 is the 5 of Diamonds, Malinconia. It might refer to Ivana's death - he had no real regard for her. He had her buried at his golf course so he wouldn't have to pay taxes on it. Unlike the Widower card, the grave on this card belongs to an animal. Losing a pet can be devastating, but I don't think Trump is devastated. The card seems to be saying it's really not important to him, he doesn't see her as a person. Many even suspect that he had her "Epsteined." The AG's office might be letting a "proper" period of time pass, for appearances sake. (Who knows, they might be gathering even more evidence while this is going on.) He IS depressed - it hangs over his head - but I suspect that's due to things like this, the Jan. 6 hearings, and the RNC's threats to stop covering his legal bills once he announces his candidacy for president..

Card 4 contains the answer, and it's the Queen of Clubs, Giovine Fanciulla. It's not Ivanka, though she's also in hot water - she's 40, and this card stands for someone unmarried and under 30. The card doesn't always refer to a literal person. She points to Militare, indicating that the NY AG's office holds the solution. If QC is a person, she's an up-and-comer working at the AG's office who is key somehow. He steps on her, disrespects her. This may be someone he's insulted or offended in the past.

Card 5 is the synthesis and it's 10 of Diamonds, Il Ladro. Definitely Trump and his financial fraud. Look at the horizontal line: see how he stalks Ms. James, but the AG's office is on his tail with a bayonet, lol. The "synthesis" of all this is quite simple: Trump is a thief. We knew that, but there will finally be something done about it. We end on a red card, a positive outcome. It's just going to take longer than we would like. How long? Card 5 is summer, so that gives it up to 8 weeks to play out. If not, the answer card is a Club and indicates winter. Let's hope it's not that long! I think they'll be requiring his deposition by the end of summer, but after that things could drag on with a final decision this winter.

All in all, better than expected.

 

 

On Excess and Bad Signal

With a few notable exceptions, I recommend books on card reading published prior to 1970 or so. There are reasons for this, read on:

This is a meme that's been going around my dog groups. As you can see, all of these "breeds" are pitbull mixes. It reflects something that's really going on with the mixed breed population: pitbulls are so overbred that you'd be hard pressed to find a mixed breed dog that doesn't have a degree of pitbull ancestry. 

Pitbulls and pitbull mixes are not for everybody. No dog is, but especially not a dog developed for tenacious animal aggression. These dogs require responsible, knowledgeable owners. In the wrong hands, things can and do go horribly wrong. But that hasn't stopped the irresponsible owners from letting their intact dogs run at large and flood the gene pool.

The same thing can happen with ideas. Let's look at "jumpers."

Once in a great while, a card might "jump" from the deck while shuffling. Some readers attach special significance to it, others just stick it back in the deck. It's something that's probably been done for as long as people have been reading cards...but then the internet happened. There was the inevitable bad signal, and now we have people doing it intentionally, even doing something called "fallout shuffling" where they just drop cards all over the place. So now we have people asking what to do if they get more "jumpers" (but they aren't really jumpers if you drop them on purpose) than there are positions in the spread, how to read a card that falls at such-and-such angle, and all manner of irrelevant bullshit that has fuck-all to do with reading cards.

It's the same with the idea that you need to learn numerous dedicated spreads for different kinds of questions, that spreads without named positions are "not spreads", that "third party" readings are verboten, that cards "don't tell the future," etc., etc., ad nauseum. These ideas are spread like viruses in contemporary books and on websites.

If you want to read cards, study the cards and the older sources, not how to do 1000 spreads while playing 32/36/52/78 Pickup and only asking about yourself in the present. And stay away from the new age and wellness stuff. It's absurd.
