This Week: Trump Assassination Attempt & Its Aftermath: What Do Lenormand Cards Have To Say?
Week commencing 15th July 2024
Well, that was pretty shocking, huh? I’m certainly very far from being a Trump fan but certainly not a fan of assassinating politicians of any stripe, nor members of the public being caught in the crossfire.
So for the first reading of the week, we’re using the Gilded Reverie Lenormand in the Mystic 7s layout to look at the attempted (and failed) assassination of Trump. The shooter is dead and so is a member of the crowd. RIP to the latter.
You can find out how to lay this spread here (it’s quite specific and involves counting). Although I suggest the Sibylle des Salons in this post, it can in fact be used with ANY deck and ANY significator, although of course each deck will give a different flavour Click on the second button below to find out how.
Today, I’m using the Lenormand Scythe to represent the attack, and I have included underlying energy cards which you can see there at the right.
The cards fell as follows:
The Cards (from top and left)
Scythe; Lady, Child, Gentleman, Key, Garden, Birds, Fox; Mountain, Ship, Cross, Rider, Clover, Ring, Mask; Clouds, Crossroads, Coffin, House, Compass, Tower, Well.
A couple of extra underlying cards too: Dice, Snake
Take a look below for the interpretation.
The Reading
So what now after the assassination attempt? The underlying cards suggest that now is an extra risky time, with additional complications thrown into the mix (Dice, Snake); a risk of further trouble.
The central column of the reading shows the assassination attempt (Scythe), its significance (Key) and that it brings something major to US domestic matters (House).
Reading from the top right as usual, the cards show someone deceptive and sneaky (Fox), talk or chatter in a public place (Birds, Garden), and then the Key event. A Gentleman involved, someone young (Child) and a woman (Lady). Is this Corey Comperatore, who lost his life trying to protect his family from the bullets?
Next we have a Mask, something hidden or being disguised, a vow or agreement (Mask, Ring) and then the opportunity arises (Clover, Rider). Heaviness now weighs on movement or progress, or internationally (Cross, Ship); something prevented, on hold or blocked (Mountain).
Then there’s a need to dig deep (Well), go well below the surface of organisations, structure and government (Tower). It says something about the direction of the country (Compass, House), where it is headed or being guided, and it involves endings, death, something drawing to a close for good. Finality (Coffin) and a possible path into darkness and danger (Crossroads/Paths, Clouds).
Reading the columns from right to left, you get this deceptive, watchful person with a mask, hiding something that went very deep (Fox, Mask, Well). I’m guessing this is the would-be assassin. You then have talk or chatter about a deal with the government, the powers-that-be (Birds, Ring, Tower), that it was a set up, the conspiracies we’re going to be seeing I guess. A public opportunity to take people in a certain direction (Garden, Clover, Compass). Then, after you have the key event, the assassination attempt on familiar ground (Scythe, Key, Rider, House), a defining moment domestically, really, and you’ll have a burden or even guilt caused by a man’s death (Gentleman, Cross, Death). It might also signify a “dutiful” death, a sacrifice made. We then have a young person’s movements and choices, their pathway (Child, Ship, Crossroads) and a woman blocking something dark and murky (Lady, Mountain, Clouds) which could be a woman warning of danger.
Pairing the cards, we get the murk and darkness caused by the shooter, but also confusion and deception in general (Fox, Clouds). Talk of roads or paths to take, or perhaps a split in two (Birds, Crossroads) with something collective or people ending (Garden, Coffin) a funeral service. A key moment for the nation (Key, House). And a man guiding or taking things in a particular direction (Gentleman, Compass), someone young and and organisation or the government (Child, Tower), or a nascent organisation forming, and a woman diving deep (Lady, Well).
A block or obstacle appears to be disguised (Mountain, Mask) and there could be some international agreement or a deal about transfer or movement (Ship, Ring). A particular burden or responsibility that happened quite by chance (Cross, Clover) has arrived, heralding something new in the form of this attempt at assassination (Scythe, Rider).
So what now after the assassination attempt on Trump at a Republican rally? The underlying cards suggest that now is an extra risky time, with additional complications thrown into the mix and a risk of further trouble. Though not perhaps as risky as it would have been if the assassin had succeeded.
We have at core the assassination attempt, its significance and that its bringing of something major to US domestic matters.
The cards show someone deceptive, alert and sneaky, talk or chatter in a public place and then the key event. A particular man involved, someone young and a woman. Is this the crowd member who sadly lost his life trying to protect his family from the bullets?
Next we have something hidden or being deliberately disguised, a vow or agreement and then the opportunity arises. Heaviness now weighs on movement or progress, or internationally something prevented, on hold or blocked. There’s a need to dig deep, it seems, to go well below the surface of organisations, structure and government. It says something about the direction of the country, where it is headed or being guided, and it involves endings, death, something drawing to a close for good. Finality and a possible path into darkness and danger.
