@Shawn and @laynara, Thanks for asking. I edited it and added my interpretation. I see a good outcome when I allowed time to pass and our people to go through some growing pains. The lower six cards show the growth of our people as a nation from left to right, climbing a Starway to the stars!
It looks like we face off with nature (the Devil) and we are as divided as ever (Art Card) in dealing with our plight. This creates a solution of true independence from the federal government (Chariot). We become the fiercely independent people we started out as 250 years ago. There might be different interpretations of the Chariot, but the end result of our journey is positive. The Universe shows that we grow up, and we get help in the Star and we move towards the next decade with hope and a solution to return to living in peace with the earth. The Star also tells me that we are going to get mighty help from spirit guides who come from the stars.
@jeanne-mayell thank you for sharing this with us its very beautiful. It gave me wonderful tingles and so much hope for all of us this next decade. I deep down know we will get to see this beautiful world reborn ?
@jeanne-mayell It is so interesting that we had discussed the Tower and the Devil in class last night and here they show up, along with the beautiful Star of hope and some of the other cards talked about. I was wondering how time is represented in the future cards. You mentioned them pointing to the next decade - so are we looking at anything between one to two years of picking ourselves up from the pandemic and facing off with Nature or can we even encapsulate time in a spread?
The top left are where America is coming from and where it is now. We are coming from a life of play and optimism, the Sun card- like a bunch of children playing in the sun.
Sun is normally a very good card ( for me), but it is so much different things on each card, that it really depends on what you "see" first.That is why I like the Crowley cards , so much details. And that it often depends on the card(s) around what the meaning is/could be.
Thanks for sharing, especially explaining what you see in the cards and what you read from it.
I drew one card, from the full deck, for : Where will covid-19 lead to? The card was XIII Death ( One of my favourites btw, next to Hierophant).
I really hope we all learn from it and that we get a new start....

@pikake. We can definitely use cards to get a timeline. We create the timeline in our minds as we lay out the cards. Before laying out a card, we give spirit a target and it obeys, provided we are paying attention. Although sometimes spirit tells us what we need to know rather than what we are asking to know. When I need a timeline, which I didn't exactly do here, I usually use a card for each week.
In this spread I did not ask so much for a timeline in terms of exact dates; I asked for specific phases, steps or rites of passage we would go through.
I was both surprised and not surprised at how drawn out the pain phase was. It implies that the Covid pandemic will not be the first or only push-back from Pan or Nature. No surprise there.
Nature (Pan/Devil) will dominate, make no mistake about it. We are merely fleas on the back of a huge beast that is Nature. Nature will show us who is boss; it is simply the way things are. There is no winning that battle and only fools believe they can beat him. A vaccine? If that is what we think will enable us to get back to business as usual, we are wrong. Sure, we might get a vaccine but there will be more ways for Nature to get us.
Throughout the last few years, and especially in the last year, I have seen almost constantly flashes of Native Americans living in harmony with nature, a message that we have some learning to do about how to find the more beautiful world we all know is possible.
The Art card shows division. We have that going on now as well. Then I got the Chariot and realized we would have to strike out from the old ways, we would have to become independent, separate from the patriarchy, move out into a new existence. Fighting the Emperor (Trump) won't save us. We have to find a new path and live harmoniously with the earth. When we find a new path, the Emperor becomes weak.
After the Chariot, comes redemption, mastery of living like human beings, true human beings, then the star. I feel the last three cards span the decade. Many are already living them, but the spread was for America as a whole, so that will take longer.
@jeanne-mayell thank you for your interpretation. It shows hope & hard won good times in the future. However, I’ve had the worst dread since last week... there is much darkness & sadness between then & now. Unfortunately I feel it right through to my bones & it is so overwhelming at times. It’s like moving through heavy thick syrup of mourning. Thank you for offering the hope this won’t last forever- but the loss of so many and the transparent evil now is awful. I fear the summer & fall will be horrible. Unfortunately, we as a culture are slow learners. Good to know the light will return ?
@jeanne-mayell That makes it very clear, thank you, Jeanne. Your explanation addresses and answers a lot of questions I‘ve long held about capturing time in tarot.
I have been reading today’s postings in another thread from @herondreams and @baba about their most recent dreams/visions backing up previous predictions, like the one provided by @Lawrence, about T fading to black in May. I know your reading was for the US but could the Tower following the Emperor also presage and reinforce the “downfall” for T that has appeared on today’s radar for a number of people in this community?
