Weekly Roundup: Trump Assassination Attempt Aftermath, JD Vance, Too Many Old Men, A Wife's Machinations & Healing For A Senior Man
Week ending 20th & 21st July 2024
Another very political week in our readings, but this time focused mainly on the US: Trump and the failed assassination attempt on him last weekend, and the aftermath of that, given he has spent the week being essentially the Messiah (complete with bandaged-ear acolytes, all very Life of Brian), a quite breathtaking turnaround of fortune for him all in all. Tuesday’s “long reading” using the Gypsy Witch cards did say he’d be absolutely basking in it, and indeed he is. I’ve left the summary of that reading open here for all, as it was pretty spot-on, even down to the shooter on the roof. He’s also now chosen his running mate, so I looked at that too later in the week.
Meanwhile, things really not going at all well for Biden, with the rumblings against him from concerned Dems building. He’s now temporarily off the campaign trail with Covid (allegedly). Daily Oracle subscribers will be able to see a lot more detail on Joe over the weekend as we do another sample 52-card reading, this time with him at the centre instead of Trump. This’ll be part of another big How-To instructional post, the third in our “Ways To Read 52-Card Spreads”, which’ll be with subscribers either later today or tomorrow.
Decks used this week were the Gilded Reverie Lenormand, the Gypsy Witch cards, the Sibilla Indovina, the Fin de Siecle Kipper cards, and the Italian La Vera Sibilla.
Spreads included the Mystic 7s, the Star Spread, and the Reversed Pyramid, all of which can utilise ANY of the oracle decks I use for Daily Oracle readings. Get the lowdown on each here (I have updated the Mystic 7s instructions slightly):
This Week’s Readings:
This Week: Trump Assassination Attempt & Its Aftermath: What Do Lenormand Cards Have To Say?
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.
Reading the columns from right to left, you get this deceptive, watchful person with a mask, hiding something that went very deep. 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, 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. Then, after you have the key event, the assassination attempt on familiar ground), a defining moment domestically, really, and you’ll have a burden or even guilt caused by a man’s death. It might also signify a “dutiful” death, a sacrifice made. We then have a young person’s movements and choices, their pathway and a woman blocking something dark and murky 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. Talk of roads or paths to take, or perhaps a split in two with something collective or people ending, or representing a funeral service. A key moment for the nation. And a man guiding or taking things in a particular direction, someone young and an organisation or the government, or a nascent organisation forming, and a woman diving deep.
A block or obstacle appears to be hidden and there could be some international agreement or a deal about transfer or movement . A particular burden or responsibility that happened quite by chance has arrived, heralding something new in the form of this attempt at assassination.
I’m not actually sure this one revealed a great deal, other than the events being a key turning point for the nation and opening up more questions than answers, really. It did suggest a sacrifice from a man, but also murky goings on behind the scenes, so we will see.
Tuesday: The Gypsy Witch "Long Reading" Gives More On The Trump Situation
This is a larger reading about Trump in the aftermath of the attempt on his life. we have a focus on this serious attack that in some ways, even if briefly, elevates him to virtuosity, with flames fanned, an increased intensity all round with the “heat” on him and alliances with others intensifying and becoming warmer as a result of the incident. It will bring him phenomenal luck and success that he’ll be able to bask in especially with honours overseas, though he still may not make quite the deals he wants to there.
So the shock of that assassination attempt is very much still in mind and he’ll be basking in the “virtue” it brings him. It will intensify the sense of honour and symbolism he is given, particularly as people reach out to him from overseas, bringing the possibility of connections there.
He appears to be in reasonably resilient health, despite having a turbulent marriage and having had his life targeted during that incident while being watched by someone hidden. The wannabe assassin was on a roof, (so literally “something hidden causing “lightning” on a roof by someone watching) and deceptive, just like yesterday’s reading. So this is referencing the would-be-assassin for sure.
Trump has passionate and loyal supporters and funders and has been shown empathy and fellow feeling by new others (even Joe) as a result of his near miss and extremely fated good fortune, although flaws in the security system were exposed by the incident.
He has managed to avert death/evil but a friend/supporter did lose their life doing something honourable they’ll be recognised for quite by chance and in a way that benefitted a woman.
Here, the cards say Trump has been confronted by a mighty enemy but has been able to avert the bad luck while he was being watched, with a surprise or sudden event, literally something firing “light lightning” here, but again he was given a gift here.He was very, very close to disaster but again, the bad consequence was averted although there may be material losses too in terms of happiness or partying and it won’t remove the strife, especially regarding a woman.
The shooter who brought the shock bad news may have had some kind of longing or fixation, but there is news of successful speculations or protection also.
It is a warning apparent on home soil about further assaults with devaluation in the idea of keeping people safe on the way along with gloom about potential dangers, even though they were averted this time.
Finally, we have an accident and some kind of robbery foretold, something lost or stolen in terms of innocence, with trust breached in a way that is likely to be significant and slightly crazy-making.
Trump has indeed been basking in his newly minted Messiah-hood (the Lilies here suggesting elevation to virtue, the Pig, the basking in it), claiming it is God’s will that he has been saved, a sentiment which’ll of course be of big appeal to a lot of the Republican base.
In terms of the “robbery foretold”, I don’t think we can tell that yet. “Stealing” the election, perhaps? Honestly, bearing in mind he’s the way he is AND a convicted felon, the man appears made of Teflon. Truly unbelievable stuff. Even Melania is back on the scene, with him actually saying nice things about her. Wonders will never cease.
Next, he chose his running mate, JD Vance. Read on for the cards’ take on this plus the rest of the readings for the week.
