I just pulled some interesting Tarot cards on Trump's testing positive for Covid-19 -- and, especially given he's exhibiting symptoms, albeit mild ones so far, this reading could be something to consider on the conspiratorial side of things.
Actually, my first reaction (since the reporter I was listening to made no mention of symptoms) had to do with the validity of these tests -- what they actually tell us, especially in asymptomatic cases. Also: how carefully monitored is the testing process itself for the president? There are false positives, and so there could be the possibility of foul play even in the testing arena. But since the president is exhibiting symptoms there may be other nefarious possibilities to consider here.
The deck I have is The Hanson Roberts Tarot Deck, which is rather sweet and fairytale-like in design. I usually do a four card reading with three cards in a row above, and an underlying card below. One develops one's own way of reading one's own cards, and I believe that the best readings -- meaning the most clear readings -- may have to do with one's focus and clarity of mind. The question I had in mind when pulling the cards had to do with the severity of Trump's case of Covid-19.
My reading (and I'll see if I can find pics of the cards so I can paste them in below):
The first card on the top left was Four of Cups reversed. If it were not reversed I would usually read that as someone not seeing what is being offered (as per the hand offering the cup to a figure whose head is lowered, and not seeing it). But when reversed, I see it as something offered -- in this case, to the president.
The next (top middle) card, Three of Cups, one might typically read as celebration. As you can see in the picture below, it has three maidens happily putting their cups together as if making a toast. But in this reading, I see it as the president, Melania, and possibly Hope Hicks (Trump's P.R. advisor who also tested positive) drinking and/or consuming something that was offered.
The next card (top right) is Five of Pentacles. Here we see a very downtrodden, even impoverished looking couple, the man having a bandage around his head, and both of them looking miserable. There is snow in the air, and patches on their clothing. In this particular reading, it's easy to see this as the devastating outcome of the two cards prior, with Trump and the first lady both testing positive for the virus -- and with Trump (I've heard nothing of Melania so far) exhibiting symptoms.
The last card -- the underlying card -- turned out to be the Devil card, which is always disconcerting to see. If there truly was foul play, this is the card one might expect to see -- and with its being the underlying card, it's the point of reference for the other cards. Just looking at this card arouses a sense of the odiousness of the dark forces at work in the run up to the election. That the first lady and the president would potentially feel entrapped at this especially dire moment in time would seem to ring true as well.
I'm only sharing this particular reading since it spoke so clearly to me, and so in that sense it might be a possibility to consider. By many accounts, Trump has been extremely careful to take measures not to contract this illness -- the media uses that fact to indicate "just how contagious" this virus is. However, as this reading suggests, it could also indicate foul play.
On the positive side, the church in the background of the Five of Pentacles card would seem to offer a glimmer of hope, and a place of sanctuary (perhaps afforded by the quarantine), although neither figure is seeing this just now.
