Tarot on the candidates - feedback wanted.

[Matariki]

My state caucus was this afternoon and I was/am undecided. I like both Clinton and Obama. I think they both have strengths and weakness and, in spite of some of the over the top stuff posted on DU, are very similar on many issues.

So, as embarrassing as this is, I did a tarot reading on what each candidate's presidency would be like, and what the direction of the country would go in under the leadership of each.

What's your opinion on these readings (I think I'll hold off a bit on naming names)

Candidate A:

6 of cups, 6 of swords, page of pentacles

Candidate B:

page of cups, Judgment, Temperance

1. Who is who? With this spread I favor the 2nd candidate 2 Majors here

Candidate A
6 of cups = pleasure, balanced, emotional self sufficiency, the sun in Scorpio - (Clinton??)
6 of swords = science, perfection of the mind, knowing exactly what you're doing - Merc in Aq
page of pentacles = having or setting boundaries, powerful, balanced, protected. Earthy part of earth

Candidate B
page of cups = Loving - what ever happens this one will always right itself, idealistic, sincere, true of heart. Earthy part of Water
Judgment = great changes, evolution the natural process.- Pluto
Temperance = balance, harmony, a return to center, Universal law, equilibrium. - Libra

2. First glance,

I like the second reading (B) best because of the Majors.

The first one does indicate a sense of progress, but still with struggle. I think it suggests a rebuilding of community. It has to be a rebuilding because our world community has been torn apart by the Bush cabal. The Page of Pentacles is a bit of a concern. We need more experience than the Page. But it could also herald a new way to approach practical matters.

I feel strongly that B is Hillary. She rose to fame due to her love interest, faced harsh judgments and had to make some of her own. Temperance is considered a positive trait. I don't know if it is what the world needs. A lot of us are hoping for a shake-up, but that may never come.

They both have positive qualities, from the readings.

Hope you share what you think.

3. yeah, the second reading is for Clinton

I think your interpretation is insightful. Thanks.

My vote at the caucus was pretty much based on a psychic coin toss. I'm a bit embarrassed.

4. Hi there.

Glad you were able to make up your mind. I hope the best candidate for the next four years gets the nomination.
