NOTE: This reading was done just before Pope Leo 14 th was elected in May 2025, and sat in my drafts since then. Today something made me read it and I decided to post it.
The new pope Leo 14th was born on 14th September 1955 in Chicago Il, USA. Time of birth unknown. He is a Virgo with the birth number 5 which makes me think Leo type energy. Puritanical Virgo would attract him to religion. Virgo and the 6th house is about service to others, work and health and hygiene.
Because there is no time of birth we can only use the planets in houses on the day he was born. But it gives us enough to go on for a basic personality. After that the tarot deck is used.
I looked at the cards yesterday out of curiosity to see what I could pick up about who would be pope. I heard I the name Boniface as I began the reading. I have no idea why I heard this but I heard it twice.
Using the Mystic Dreamer tarot deck. I kept feeling a strong Leo energy from the layouts, this doesn’t mean the man is a Leo, it’s the energy around him and the situation. I did three quick spreads of the cards and made some notes. Then I had a look at the Astrology cards which uses 3 cards only, planet, sign and house. The cards were, Uranus, Leo and the 7th house ( which rules partnerships and relationships) and is ruled by Libra and the planet Venus.
Uranus brings about sudden change, it is humanitarian, futuristic, scientific, and the freedom urge.
Leo is a natural born leader and commands respect, it can be controlling, displaying a dazzling and spectacular show. Leo can be either fun loving or dominating. It is a sign of intelligence, creativity and nobility.
7th House, partnerships, relationships, exposes the differences to others.
I often use the Astrology reading cards by Alison Chester Lambert alongside tarot readings and they confirm everything in the layout.
So what I found was a very intelligent man and an highly academic person. He has been advised to step up to this role due to his technical knowledge, wisdom and he is an expert on theological studies. Very gifted in communication, public speaking and a very strong work ethic, this person ( remember I had no idea who this person was). I saw a man wearing glasses and had brown hair. I felt he was youngish or young at heart and was in a similar mindset as the late pope in regards to how he would carry out his duties.
Though I do feel he has some left leaning views on some issues as I observe the king on the king of swords is sitting slightly of centre. He is an enthusiastic person and beats others to the job due to his strong personality and he is a tough leader. This guy doesn’t take prisoners either, he is only flexible to a point and wants to run a tight ship. There is difficulty around him which looks like backstabbing as this is a highly competitive position to attain.
This pope will make his mark and seems as if he was born to be a leader or pope. That strong Leo energy that I keep feeling tells me this. This individual has a cool mind and intellect that doesn’t panic under pressure, there is a Neptune / Pisces energy here, so not all is what it seems with him. Pisces and Neptune are the rulers of the 12th house of the zodiac which rules religion and spirituality.
There is a distinct air of illusion and mystery around him due to the Neptune energy and this man is on a secret mission. Although he seems to offer a message of peace and good will, there is definitely something going on behind the scenes that is not what one would call benevolent or good Christian values.
The church under his leadership has to be seen as future looking but only to a point, there are still many restrictions to overcome.The new pope is highly reflective and seeks clarity to drive the establishment forward. He presents as a sensitive person which makes him popular though behind this, this man will make agreements with others that go against the Catholic people. As I look at the 6 of wands I feel this new pope when he is seen as a victor, he is actually surrendering to an enemy of the church. The white feather on the horse’s head may be seen as purity and the element of air, but a white feather has other meanings as well as a white flag of surrender.
The 12 house of the zodiac which is a house of endings rules Christianity and we are in the dying days of Pisces which means Christianity will give way to something new in the Aquarian age of spirituality, ( the great awakening and the rebellious freedom urge).
Interestingly the pope was announced on the 8th of the month, astrologically the number 8 is cyclical as in beginning, ending and rebirth. Astrologically the 8th house is a house of endings too. It covers the law, other people’s money and taxes which actually makes sense after discovering who the new pope is.
This new pope will be controversial in some way and people will wonder whose side is he on. He is a defensive chap and will set agendas while avoiding accountability.
This pope can and will go on the attack if upset by others. He is a lone operator at times even though he is supposed to be about unity. Others will lay down their swords in the Vatican at first.
I also feel this new pope will try to understand Islam and reach out to Muslims in the west. This is a complicated situation and the pope will fend off the views of others questioning his decisions. I do feel with this pope’s actions he will put the church at odds with Christians and Muslims alike and things will go wrong. This will lead to conflict and will see agreements torn up.
He is well advised to not get into situations that can backfire on him and the Catholic Church as he may not be able the back out of the situation. If this happens he will come out fighting, nobody benefits from this and only heartache can come of this.
People will make their voices heard and unfortunately it will make some people define where they stand in some countries as well as demanding to know who’s side the Vatican and the Christian clergy in England are on.
Serious damage will be done to western ideology especially in the UK. The pope will eventually swing into action and try to defend against the damage done to no avail, I do feel this is a deliberate act and will result in the rejection of Christianity.
This pope is tasked with trying to bring unity amongst his fellow Catholics and will have to work hard to attract younger people into the fold. I feel only a small percentage of young people will answer the calling though due to the history of the church. I feel the traditional catholic families will be loyal.
This is not about religion or ideology though it’s dogma.
The new pope has the skills to perform the duties however he is facing a destiny here too that many people would not want.
