I'm interested to see what your predictions are Blue... I haven't got any myself it seems to be never ending.
Hi Stu, I did two tarot readings on 5th April (using Legacy of the Divine cards). I'll try and keep this as short as possible without losing too much meaning.
The first reading was for the current withdrawal deal: for challenges/obstacles ( 8 Wands) I was getting 'many players' or factions all trying to have their voice heard. I think this was about the challenge of trying to meet everyone's wishes (I never see this card in this deck with the traditional meaning). The near future card ( Queen Coins) was interesting as it felt like some kind of intervention or action by someone (maybe a proposal or idea) that helps solve/soften some of the problems (of getting the deal accepted?). Kind of like someone shining a helpful light, or stepping in to help move things along favourably. May be a diplomatic scenario. For the outcome (9 wands) it was like a last final push and getting something done, after much hard work and toil. Something, albeit with diminished strength is achieved , a last vestige of energy and life, with some approval of others watching or taking part. Unfortunately I didn't put a time frame into the question, so not sure when this might be, or even if it's all correct lol.
I did a separate reading right after regarding a no-deal brexit in the next 4 months. Challenges :(The moon) it felt like an issue of perception and being tied to illusion. The near future: ( Ace wands) the card conveyed some continuing, maybe even some new, energy but underneath there was an energy of getting burnt out or being consumed by fire, or maybe it's detrimental energy, detrimental maybe to a no-deal? Outcome: This was interesting. It was the 7 coins and the focus in this imagery was an empty bucket, the woman in the picture waiting and waiting but the harvest doesn't fall - so she has the empty bucket. Yet around her is a golden harvest which she fails to see she can harvest.
The cards for the no-deal seemed to indicate this isn't successful in the next few months. But who knows!:) Does anyone else have any predictive insights?
Time to revive this thread. As many of you probably know, Theresa May is stepping down as leader of the Conservative Party on June 7th, after which she will continue on as a lame duck prime minister until the Tories choose a successor in July. Just last week, Nigel Farage's Brexit Party won a plurality (34%) of the British electorate in the EU parliamentary elections, while the Conservatives finished in fifth place with only 8% of the vote. In light of this shellacking at the ballot box at the hands of Farage, the Tories may be induced to elevate a Brexit hardliner to 10 Downing Street. (Boris Johnson? Andrea Leadsom?) Meanwhile, the UK's departure date from the EU has been set for October 31st.
All in all, it seems like a no-deal Brexit just became likelier. If a pro-EU Tory becomes prime minister, Westminster is still hopelessly deadlocked, and it could stay that way for the next five months. If a Brexiteer becomes prime minister, nothing would stop him/her from sitting on their hands and allowing a no-deal Brexit to come about through inaction. Either way, if the last week of October rolls around and the UK still has no concrete plan for exiting Europe, then it's up to the respective parliaments of each EU member state to decide whether to grant Britain another extension; France, Belgium, and Spain are all showing signs that they'd rather push the English off a cliff instead. Plus, it's no secret that Nigel Farage wants a no-deal Brexit, so who knows what shadowy work he will be up to in Brussels in the next few months.
If anyone from the UK could offer a more nuanced perspective on all of this, that would be appreciated.
I know this doesn't relate to Brexit, but did anyone see John Bolton imply the US would try to stop Jeremy Corbyn from becoming British Prime Minister and outright say he personally would try to? I saw it in a Guardian article, and how disgraceful of the US.
I think Jeremy Corbyn will become UK PM in 2020 or 2021, does anyone else see that occurring as I do?
Hi all
Now that Boris Johnson is PM it's more certain we're moving to a No Deal Brexit.
I predicted last year that Theresa May would not be PM on Brexit Day and she would step down before Christmas. Looks like I just got the wrong year.
It's still a tangled mess right up to 31st October. I'm feeling that people are now resigned to a No Deal Brexit. Again, as last year no one's talking about it. There's no fierce debates in public places or in workplaces near me. Just a sense of relief that there's a PM who's actually picked a side and doesn't flip-flop. BoJo is a stronger leader.
My visions are that he has advisor's who are convincing him to run another General Election before the end of October. The Conservative working majority has been reduced to 1. He's not convinced. I see him shaking his head. It's risky.
Europe is really interesting tho. Carrying on from The Economy thread I see lots of empty seats at the EU Parliament. MEPs no longer attend. And not just British MEPs. I think EU may break apart due to the economy failing.
Prince Charles will be crowned King during Brexit for a very short time. I've got 46 days, 46 weeks or 46 months. William will be crowned King as his father will step down.
Brexit and the economy will tank around the same time, BUT the economy won't tank due to Brexit. The Brexit process starts the day we leave the EU and will take 2/3 years to untangle.
It's completely different story around me. People are deeply upset and panicking. Small businesses are making plans moving their business to Ireland or mainland Europe. Importing raw materials etc is extremely expensive as pound is so weak and keeps going down. We are run by right wing unelected prime minister. I suppose it depends on the area, but I don't know one person who thinks brexit is a good idea.
Let the champions of Brexit suffer its downfall. In other words, Boris has been pushing for it, let him find out how much leverage he's lost and likely won't be able to pull a deal out. The Brexiters won't be able to blame anyone for their failures, it will be their own failures and own undoing.
Sorry, it is like our GOP party, they have been "in charge" for the last few years and haven't done anything well, other than give a HUGE tax break to the ultra wealthy and take away services from the most in need. They keep trying to blame the Dems, but when the economy tanks, they will have to own it, just like they "owned" how good the economy has been the last 2 years due to Trump policies.
I think the champions of Brexit —the ones who are pulling the puppet strings— want an economic crash. They are oligarchs and oligarchs stand to gain greater financial control during an economic crash. In a crash they will be able to buy up assets cheaply.
