This is a reading that I did for a client back on September 9th of this year, that I only now got permission to post publicly. I wanted to post this reading in response to a Lenormand reading that was recently posted by Fennario (Stella). I know her to be a super talented reader, so I was happy to see that her reading showed similar information to my own. You can have a look at her insightful reading at her blog, Fate Keeps on Happening.
The question the client asked was, "Will Trump be elected for a second term as president of the US?
Here are the cards that fell...
KC + 2H + 9D + QS + 8S + QH + JS
This 7-card spread is a traditional Italian Neapolitan layout called "La Settenaria," as taught by Renee Cafiero in his wonderful book, La Vera Settenaria Sciolta.
The first thing I always look for in a reading is any card that may refer to the subject of the reading. The 9 of Diamonds jumped out at me immediately since it can indicate a government job, hence the presidency.
The King of Clubs is a businessman, and I take him to represent the significator of the reading, Donald Trump. The first trio of cards suggests to me that he fully expects to hold on to the presidency for another four years.
The middle or Heart Card of the reading often carries a lot of weight in interpreting the spread. The Queen represents a woman, and her appearance as a spade can show authority or power. The Spade court cards often represent people involved in the legal system. The fact that she appears as a Spade also reveals that she is blocking the energy of the 9 of Diamonds. She is an obstacle to Trumps expectations for 2020.
Now that we know Nancy Pelosi has finally launched an formal impeachment inquiry, I'm pretty sure that the Queen represents her. Even at the time of the reading I suspected the Queen of Spades was the Speaker of the House.
The 8 of Spades has several symbolic meanings that can apply to this reading. First it is the "investigation" card, showing that the Queen would be launching an investigation. The 8 of Spades is also a health card, usually indicating poor health. The 9 of Diamonds is the brain. I wonder if Trumps mental health will one of the subjects under investigation. Perhaps more in tune with the question, it shows that the Queen brings disappointment to Trumps aspirations for another four years in office.
The final trio of cards is curious, and at this point I can only speculate about their significance. Here we find another woman, and she is hemmed in by Spades. Her hands are tied. She is a maternal figure. She is in harmony with the 2 of Hearts indicating that she has aspirations of her own. Can we finally expect a female in Oval Office in 2020? Perhaps the Jack of Spades indicated that her running mate will be a man.
Or maybe the Queen of Hearts is another woman who will be instrumental in Trump's downfall. She could be part of the investigation. The Jack of Spades suggests that she brings bad news that helps lead to Trump's final undoing.
My final thought is that perhaps the Queen of Hearts, who can be read as a family member, represents Ivanka Trump. The Jack could represent Kushner, or even Don Jr. Will they take the tumble along with their patriarch? It's not always easy to know for sure who is who in a reading.
What is clear to me is that the final card, the Jack of Spades, is traditionally a very unfavorable card. It is the card of spying and surveillance. Trumps actions and behaviors will be evaluated with a fine-toothed comb. The Jack also confirms for me a "no" answer to the question of whether Trump will be re-elected in 2020.
My feeling is that the House will vote to impeach. I'm not so sure that the Senate will actually vote to remove Trump from office. Either way, the cards suggest that the impeachment inquiry will squash Trumps aspirations for another run at the presidency.
