Hi all! I am reviving an old thread. I decided to pull some tarot this morning and thought this the best place to post the results — let me know if anything resonates! One thing I noticed was a post from Share in 2020 in this thread that had the Queen of Swords in reference to Amy Coney Barrett, which is one that I pulled today (see below.)
What do I need to know about this administration over the next 3 months?
Ace of Swords
I see this as the sword piercing the crown and the yellow background as the shattered light/power.
I see the yellow fading towards the top, to me meaning the strength or perceived strength is getting smaller and more pale.
The handle of the sword looks angry to me (the curves on it looking like a furrowed brow and downturned mouth.) Does this indicate “angry king Trump”?
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
Interestingly, this card can mean great power for good OR evil, but it is invoked. This resonates deeply with this administration invoking all sorts of negative or evil power (immigrants being taken illegally, detained, pushing through the legislation, stacking the courts, etc.)
This card can mean conquest and strength through trouble. It may be a sword of wrath or punishment and affliction. Spot-on!

Worry – 5 of Disks
The disks look like blinders on eyes and the bottom one looks like a mouth open in surprise. The rectangular figures on the outsides around the card appear like arms/hands reaching to the “mouth” as if people are being grabbed, pinned down. There is a lot of concern in the collective. This could definitely relate to the actions of ICE and immigrants and citizens being wrongfully detained.
The image in the center of the inverted pentagram makes me think of women and how they are pinned down and controlled. Maybe there will be actions or legislation this month regarding women’s rights or other related actions against women?
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
Intense strain with continued inaction. This makes me feel like the card is reflecting the collective and how unempowered many feel at this time due to the speed at which the administration has taken so many different actions. The collective in the U.S. (and maybe the world?) feels quite trapped at the moment.

The Aeon4
The first thing I noticed on this card are the layers. The figure in the background, the transparent figure in the foreground. I think this reflects the people behind Trump who are clearly controlling and manipulating (Miller, Thiel, etc.) We may be seeing more this month about that control and who is really pulling the strings.
The people in the pods at the bottom appear to be trapped and trying to get out. The arms that arch around the whole image appear to be pressing those people down. Again, suppression of people (immigrants and all who are not MAGA) by the powers behind the scenes.
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
The Aeon is the final decision concerning the past. It represents the taking of a definite step. So perhaps this indicates a more prominent control by those “behind the scenes”?
I pulled a clarifier: Debauch – 7 of Cups
Interesting card to pair with this! The first thing I thought of what all the corruption and rot at the center of this administration. It is overflowing, almost like pus being drained from a wound. This made me think of “draining the swamp” – perhaps something begins or takes place this month to actually drain the corruption and evil from this administration in some way? This card in combination of the transparency from The Aeon makes me thing that something is exposed this month.
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
The book indicates that this card can represent external splendor and internal corruption. Illusory success, vanity, guilt, lying and deceit – again, spot on!

The Universe
I notice that the woman holds a hook in her right hand. I also see the all-seeing eye that is “seeing through” the snake. There is a release, to me, in the four corners of the card with those animal figures blowing out air. It seems to be cleansing.
I notice what looks like a line-drawing of a house at the bottom. It reminds me of the White House. It appears to no longer be the focus.
The woman is stopping the snake by stepping on its head and controlling its body.
The grid that surrounds the woman is blue and green and seems to be pulling in a lot of energy from the sky and the universe. Perhaps there are more forces outside of us helping to complete this cycle?
Creating/creation is happening behind and around her, waiting for her to finish with the snake.
This could represent a final struggle between the T administration and the U.S. people, or T administration and the global community?
I pulled a clarifier: Valor – 7 of Wands
The wooden wand in the front is holding the fire back. This is a last gasp and represents struggles and possibly victory.
Pulling this as a clarifier to The Universe seems like a further confirmation of a struggle for a completion to this corrupt cycle.
I decided to shuffle and pull again with some different questions:
What will stop T and his allies?
Queen of Swords
Interesting! I immediately noticed the decapitated head and the woman being victorious. This could mean that a woman or woman will be strategic in helping to stop T. I thought of Amy Coney Barrett, who has gone her own way at times in the court. Perhaps she will be an obstacle for him? Other women may also be contributing to stopping this administration.
I pulled a clarifier: Futility – 7 of Swords
The 6 swords around the center sword seem to be pinning it down.
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
Vacillation and compromise, unstable efforts. So it could be that there is some back and forth, again I am thinking of the Supreme Court, that attempts to thwart T, but may not be successful.
I pulled one more clarifier: The Sun
A surprising card to pull! I love this card and it represents joy and hope and light to me. I have no clue on timeframe, but it is encouraging to see the sun in regards to stopping the T administration.
What resonated from the book that comes with the Thoth deck:
The books indicates that the sun is the lord of life, liberty and light and love.
I feel like the light of this card indicates that light is piercing something. It may be a large crack in the administration, some sort of event or shift that really makes a difference in ending this administration’s reign of terror. Regardless, I feel it is a hopeful card that reflects that love, light and joy will prevail.
@jeanne-mayell Thank you so much, Jeanne. It has been awhile since I have felt relaxed and centered enough to do a reading. Great to get back to it.
