May opens with the 3 of Pentacles, a young man demonstrates his skills and abilities to his patrons. He is extremely skilled, successful and competent. Showing his patrons that their investment in his education has borne fruit. The apprentice is above the mundane things of the world, he is working at an elevated level with his skills, he doesn’t mix with the ordinary people, he is above them and is well aware of the fact. Notice he is also wearing boots which also tells us that he is above the ordinary people. The ground is unclean and he doesn’t get his feet dirty like a peasant who toils in the field.
This month’s card is about diplomacy, skill, communication and showing one’s skills and abilities to the world. This card is also interesting when we look at it from a position of world events. Ideologies and partnerships are covered by this card. Nations, corporations, organisations in agreement including the UN, Charities and other aid agencies. This is not an easy month for international relations and diplomacy is going to be difficult as the horse has bolted already. Three world leaders are called into action here and they must be very careful not to escalate tension’s which already have begun to spill over. How things pan out right now is an indication of what we are all globally facing from now on.
The tarot card shows three people inside a church which represents authority and in some cases benevolence. It also represents structure and stability of society, politics and powerful organisations in dialogue. The Pentacles represent money and spirit, here though it’s about money as in spare no expense in money for war, defence and business.
Time is of the essence right now for planning, which feels like contingency plans. Some of these plans will be very urgent, as in just out of the blue responses to counter threats and attacks. Things will continue to worsen and I feel December will be crucial in escalation because “someone” will not back down.
Travel will again be interrupted especially air travel, which is pretty much a given at present. More problems with import and export in zones of conflict, again is just part of the ongoing conflicts. This will boost the price of goods as expected.
We need a cooling off of tensions between Israel and Iran otherwise the whole region will be in chaos. To be honest I don’t see a cooling off because Israel and Iran have no intentions of cooling off.
Japan may step in to assist in negotiations to defuse tensions in the pacific region. However Japan wants to be seen as a mediator rather than taking a defensive stance due to their past history. Japan does not want to upset anyone and prefers a humanitarian role.
I hear Chicago and the airport (O’Hare) in particular, something is happening in or around the airport. I see police involved, this could be as in negotiation. The tarot card also tells me that negotiation is the primary requirement in May, otherwise things may escalate unintentionally.
Look at the middle of the card, there are two paths right underneath the pentacles, meaning things can go either way depending on the actions taken. This can also allude to two different factions at play. This needs to be taken seriously because if one takes the wrong path we can be in deep trouble so extreme care must be taken. Plans are afoot here for sudden changes that benefit two countries in particular.
However another nation is directing the way in which things are going. Actually this particular nation is dictating to the other two nations which way things are going. This is how it is and it’s not negotiable. That nation is Israel, telling the US and the UK how it is, which has the potential to go pear shaped.
Who is factoring in the innocent lives of millions of innocent civilians here? Irrelevant to what country these civilians live in, just because you were born in a particular country doesn’t make you the enemy. No, but you could well be the innocent victim or collateral. Who is there to defend us innocent civilians of the world and all of the innocent animals of the world?
There is the possibility of regime change in Iran due to this conflict, but not straight away. I feel the US will, install their preferred leader in Iran at some stage. This tarot card serves as a warning to us of the dangers we face, there is no room for error. This is the time for serious dialogue to prevent the situation going into a deep tailspin that we can’t put the breaks on.
Politically speaking this card lumps us under one roof with three world leaders calling the shots. A call for unity, except one leader sees himself as being above everyone else. How does that work? It doesn’t and never will. Hedonism is failure and ordinary citizens suffer because of big stupid egos in suits. Humanity is poised on the brink of war and two, wrongs never make a right.
I do feel the UN will be utterly useless and a total waste of time in trying to secure a peaceful solution, having a vested interests of their own to boot. May also brings the WHO into focus at the same time pushing its agenda. The WHO will feel they are being pushed to the sidelines due to the current global situation and will start whining because they are being ignored. People are not in the mood for the WHO, so watch out for the WHO pushing their weight around. This is sovereignty or a medical corporate dictatorship, yet I think that enough people and politicians are now starting to waken up to the reality and will give a big No, to this fiasco.
The UN and other aid agencies will be trying to mobilise in the Middle East in May, however there will be problems due to ongoing trust issue, conflicts and politics. One needs to ask who has the power and authority here? This feels like it will be a testing ground from here on in as to who had the actual authority and power in times of conflict. The rules are changing and are confusing around military conflict and civilian casualties.
I hear the words “Lucky colours” and red, green and white. I don’t know what this is about, I take it as a political statement rather than ordinary lucky colours. Iran has these colours in its flag as does Palestine with its black, red, white and green. I will leave it at that because I don’t get involved in politics and especially not situations as horrible as this.
The take away from this reading is, humanity is clearly incapable of learning lessons about war, death and suffering. There are no winners in conflict, we know that. It is better to be humane rather than having blood on one’s hands, but one must use common sense in the self defence of your home and homeland. Teamwork, communication and diplomacy are a big ask when dealing with big egos.
I want to send my blessings to everyone right now, if we don’t come together as a spiritual species then all that can come of us is war and suffering. Your call humanity!
Warm and fuzzy hugs 🤗
