Mystic Pull Tarot

Last week’s Hump Day reading has been nagging at me: WHO is under The Sun and WHO is under the Three of Swords?! So I pulled two clarifying cards.

For The Sun, the Queen of Wands jumped from the deck (what is with all the jumping beans lately?!), indicating to me that the powerful feminine spiritual and creative energy will triumph over the previously mentioned King of Pentacles Reversed and The Tower. I felt a wave of relief as we have been under political attack via the entire presidential administration and their Project 2025 scheme that seeks to completely erase an entire century of women’s, LGBTQ, racial, and disability justice. This card tells me unequivocally our determination, resilience, and courage will defeat these efforts to repeal our collective civil rights!!

For the Three of Swords, I drew the Reversed Nine of Swords, telling me the people on the losing end of this moral/social/political battle are people who operate from a core of fear and turmoil and just want ultimate control so they can feel a sense of security. Their behavior is rooted in a fear of losing the material rewards they enjoy, or not getting what they believe they deserve. The people in power have fed and cultivated this fear and hatred so that their followers seethe with rage over anyone who might benefit from any kind of federal program from free school lunch to research grants to disability income to national parks. It’s absurd because we all do better when we all do better. I only hope that the wave of butt-hurt is temporary and people stop being afraid that their neighbors and coworkers are out to get them or get something from them.
