[CONTINUED]
I had visions leading up to the election four years ago. One was of a white horse being flayed to near death in a town square by a demon posing as an angel, and I understood then that it meant Trump would win and our democracy would be brought to its knees. I cried myself to sleep on election night knowing what the election results would manifest for us in the long term.
The other vision was different: It was of my entire community sheltering in place in a high school while a meteor careened toward the earth. As I wandered around the school, I discovered someone sitting in a lone spotlight seat in a dark gymnasium. When I approached him, he appeared to me as Barack Obama, but then explained that he was only showing himself to me in that form because he thought I might find it comforting. He told me that there was no avoiding the coming blast. That it would come and carrying on as best we could was the only way to survive it. He spoke about caring for one another. He told me to stay hopeful.
After speaking with him, I emerged from the gym and walked around the school. I saw Joe Biden walking a bride down the aisle (not sure how to interpret that part). I saw people huddled looking at family pictures. It occurred to me later that the reason this scene was in a high school was because we were all sheltered in a space of learning and education, and would be "schooled" during this period of unraveling. Finally, I walked to the window and looked out at the blood red sky where the meteor was so large and looming it had eclipsed the sun. And then I woke.
It gave me a shred of hope, that second vision. But it seems to have run out.
My prayer is that, in coming here, I can find some comfort, reassurance, and solidarity. A greater sense that I'm not as alone as I feel.
I wish blessings on all of you here who have offered light and/or might be reading this. I hope you are bearing up better than I am. 2/2
I saw Joe Biden walking a bride down the aisle (not sure how to interpret that part).
Thank you for sharing your visions. It does indeed feel so much heavier each day - just when we think we can bear no more, something else happens. It sounds very much like the meteor in the dream - relentless, no avoiding it, etc.
But I found the line about Biden walking a bride down the aisle jumping out at me. It immediately made me think of how I view Biden in this whole process -- his current run for president. Where he is the transition figure leading us out of the old patriarchy and into the new matriarchal leadership. He is bring the bride down as a father figure and he is viewed much like a father figure to many (in his caring manner and pledge to care for the country through this time of crisis.) I see your vision as him "handing over" women to the new leadership roles which they are continuing to expand and will continue to grow as we move forward. I found that part of your vision extremely hopeful and verifying thoughts/images/impressions of his role at this time.
I agree -- it has felt particularly difficult to maintain hope and positivity as this continues to spiral darker and darker. But as @jeanne-mayell has mentioned before and others recalled, this drain is spiraling faster as we get closer to the switchover from patriarchal to matriarchal. Hang in there!
Thank you so much for your support @CC21. I love your interpretation of Biden's appearance in my vision, and I truly hope it plays out exactly as you've described! It really does feel like a meteor is hurling at us right now (and if I'm not mistaken, aren't we looking at getting a harmless-albeit-real one close to election day?).
I'm trying my best. Some days are better than others, to be honest. There have been moments of grace in the midst of all this mayhem. Today was just especially hard, but you've helped tremendously. <3
We are being hit day after day with one mind game after another. It’s like we are all pawns in a spiritual chess game. I keep thinking about what Jeanne says that as it all goes down the drain, something good is rising. I don’t see it yet but I’m choosing to trust her vision.
Right now, I don’t see how anyone can know how this is going to turn out. I just hope to live long enough to see this horror show in the rear view mirror.
“I'm finding myself less resilient these days. I wish I knew how to feel less angry and more patient, but every day is full of challenges to my peace of mind and it's gotten so hard to stay afloat.”
Dear Vida,
your Post sounds like my therapy session I had today.
this is such an insane time. I’ve crawled out of agoraphobia and PTSD, but I’ve never seen the world, especially this country, like this ever in my life. I’m 69.
i used to call myself resilient, but I don’t anymore. Thanks to this group and my best friend, I don’t feel completely alone, but I am so lonely.
I’m not sure if your dreams are prophetic or not.
it seems every time trump has gone too far and will be removed or forced to resign, he just gets away with it. I’d have had a stroke by now if I were him. Yet he just keeps going on, surrounded by people I cannot understand, including my sister.
I wish I had answers for you, but all I can say is you’re not alone. I often feel ready to break off the US from the red and blues, with our own president, so we can live in peace.

@vida - I am so glad that my response helped. That makes *my* day :) I actually pulled some Tarot cards (Thoth deck) after seeing this to get a sense of the collective in the coming weeks into October. I will have to write that up and post in an appropriate part of the forum. When I do that, I will come back and provide a link here, if I can. It was more positive, overall, and that was reassuring. Lots of earth energy represented (solid, grounding, holding steady.)
If it helps to know, all of Earth is under the sustained pressure of Mars square Saturn and Pluto right now. It's been going on for weeks and weeks, since mid-August. Unfortunately Mars will continue to square Saturn for the next few months, with the square exact on September 29 and then finishing up on January 12.
This is the unstoppable force (Mars) meeting the immovable object (Saturn). Pluto is there to turbo charge it all and make us very much aware of the misuse or abuse of power.
Hang in there. This energy can help us make progress on challenging projects or learn how to achieve significant goals within a small sphere. I personally think this is humanity experiencing the pressures of the birth canal before we are born into something new. Remember that every single human being (and our fellow animals and plants) is experiencing this energy. We aren't alone and we will get through this together.
@vida -- Ok, I think here is as good as anyplace to post my Tarot reading on the collective. Since it deals with the intensity of feelings we have all been posting about and needing support on, then I think here is a good place. For those that know Tarot, I am using the Thoth deck. When I refer to the text, I am referring to the booklet that comes with the cards and also the text Jeanne shared with us in class. I tend to read through it with my questions in mind and see what resonates or jumps out at me. I read each week coming up from the last week of September to the last week of October:
Last week of September: Fortune - This is one of the major trump cards and reflects changes that can be good or bad, but depend on how you "ride the wheel" of fortune. Are you hanging on or sitting solidly on top? I see this as a potential for positive change after the heaviness of late, but with caution as it is a wheel and can change. I pulled a second card to clarify and got 5 of Wands - Strife, so I think there will still be some negative stressors or energy through next week. The card mentions Saturn and Leo - quarreling, fighting, competition, making me think of @gbs and the post above about Mars and Saturn.
First week of October: I pulled the Prince of Disks - the prince is bringing great energy to practical maters. I notice the bull pulling his chariot, It is very strong, solid, earthly. I sense that we will be hunkering down, hanging in there. There is a lot of earth energy in this card and makes me think of grounding and holding. The text that resonates for this card is that the prince is steadfast and repurposing; cautious; imperturbable. He adapts to circumstances in a slow, steady way. So it might be an opportunity for us to ground, hold steady and gather energy for practical matters to come?
Second week of October: I pulled the Ace of Cups - this is a beautiful card with hopeful rays of light and energy radiating outward and upward. It represents the deep feminine and can represent productiveness, fertility, love with wisdom. Perhaps this is when the energy ramps up to bring in some feminine energy in some way?
Cont'd
Third week of October: I pulled the Aeon/Judgement - this card represents the last step before mastery and usually indicates a final decision point/definite step. Perhaps there is a turning point in the collective energy or news this week? I pulled one more card for the evaluation after judgement - Ace of Disks - here is that powerful, grounding earth energy again! This refers to the root elements of earth and the material world. The text indicates that it usually refers to a new beginning! I like that :) This also brought to mind perhaps there are advances or good news in the way of the environment and/or technology that is better for the earth?
Fourth week of October: I pulled the 6 of Disks - Success -- again, earth energy! This can refer to a gain in material things. For clarity, I pulled another card and got 6 of Wands - Victory. This is energy and its reception and reflection by the feminine. Again - that feminine element coming to the fore. Energy in balanced manifestation. One other piece of the text jumped out at me and that was that the card has 9 flames burning as lamps, which immediately brought to mind the Supreme Court. Perhaps this indicates a new woman being considered/approved for the court? But I have a positive sense of it, so maybe she would be a more balanced choice than she first appears?
So, overall, I think and hope this represents a breather of sorts; a regrouping of our grounded earth energy and some clear rising of positive female energy.
