U-Predict – Predictions 2014 - 12/10/2013
The U-Predict Blogtalk radio show is not like other tarot
shows on the Internet. We do not read for callers, we read for society in
general. Some listeners may not enjoy the fact that some weeks we end up
talking about politics. However, the political discussions are a part of the
show because politics at every level (family, office, and government) affect
people’s lives on a daily basis. Because
of the dysfunction currently in Washington DC, there was no way that you could
have a prediction show for next year without politics being a large part of it.
Because of the nature of U-Predict sometimes there is no way of proving our
accuracy with actual events. However, in the last three days the predictions
made by the reading room for 2014 have already started to unfold.
The reading room included Anita Perez, Jean Maurie Puhlman, Joanne
Matthew, and ReeNee Cummins. We were
thrilled to add a new readers to the show – IMDWitch. Mary Nale and Joanne Matthew had sent in predictions for the new year.
The first question asked of the reading room was “Will the
dysfunctionality in the government continue into 2014.” The answer that we got was to look at the far
right agenda as something that is inconsequential. In fact, the Major Arcana card that
accompanied this question was The Moon, the card of deception. Late in the week
Speaker of the House John Boehner stated "They're using our members and
they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous." According to the Huffington Post (and many
other news sources) Mr. Speaker was responding to conservative groups that hold
sway among Tea Party and extremely conservative members of the House of
Representatives. Boehner went on to say
that he felt duped (in fact that was the word IMDWitch used to sum up her
reading) by these groups who pushed for a shutdown of the government, and then
pulled their support after the action was taken. Apparently, the Reading Room predicted the
tone in Washington DC as we end the year and start a new one!
Since we had started out with politics, and next year is an
election year, we decided to ask some election questions. Again, tarot insisted
that a lot of the shenanigans that will be a part of the next election cycle
are truly inconsequential. Joanne Matthew asked the question about the war on
women that is being waged at the state level. The cards came back that both men
and women are going to begin feeling and understanding how much these narrow-minded
decisions are adversely affecting their families.
We did also ask about potential presidential runs. Even
though the presidential election is over two years away, many in the media
expect one or more people to declare their run in 2014. The cards defined two
people, both men, who will declare. The one man appears very pragmatic with a
sincere wish to serve the people. The other will be more dynamic, attract a
large following, only to be brought down by his own murky past. As far as women
candidates, specifically Hillary Clinton, the cards said that she was still
undecided. She is looking as to whether
or not she can move the country forward, or if she would be treated as an
oddity, to be ignored, because she is the first woman president.
The Moon card was a theme that was strongly reflected in the
reading. First, only three Major Arcana cards were pulled; considering this is
a reading for society for the next 12 months, this small a number of Major
Arcana cards would indicate that there is a general lack of awareness of what
is really going on.
This card was also reflected when we asked about raising the
minimum wage. The cards answered that the people who could most influence a
raise for many working Americans do not understand and choose not to understand
the dire straits in which they are placing their employees.
We asked about the weather in the coming year. Again the
cards strongly indicated that people are being duped into disbelieving that the
climate is changing and one side effect of the change are mega-storms that will
shatter lives. The remedy the tarot offered us for this situation is to look at
the reality of it, and prepare to both offer aid to those who need it and to
strengthen our own homes to withstand the bad weather. People need to be more
vigilant of the weather and have a plan as to how they are going to deal with a
mega-storm.
To look at the synchronistic cards in this reading is merely
to amplify what has already been stated in this blog. The most synchronistic
card was the Four of Cups. The Four of
Cups is the card of dissatisfaction. It definitely sums up the feeling of many
people – we seem to be heading in either the wrong direction or worse - no
direction at all. If one looks at the imagery on the Four of Cups, one sees an
angry man looking down. What he fails to notice is a hand offering yet another
cup. This is the sublime meaning of this card; if you are dissatisfied, it’s
time to find a new direction. We need to
speak up and out about a new direction, one based on hope and fairness. The Three of Swords was also in synchronicity.
This card, and its meaning of heartache, echoes the sentiment of
dissatisfaction for many people. The Two of Pentacles also appeared in
synchronicity. However half the time it was reversed, meaning that the
communication is not successfully being passed between parties. One side is not
listening. The Queen of Cups again was in synchronicity. In the last few weeks
as we have asked about the directions our society is are taking, we are seeing
a strong role for women, for nurturing, and generally towards taking care of
others. The tarot is repeating the call of Pope Francis to help those in need.
The final Minor Arcana card in synchronicity is the Six of Wands. This is a card of victory, a victory that
comes about by people pulling together and working together. This seems to be the important lesson that
will be stressed that year – is that we need to work together to take care of
one another.
As far as the Major Arcana, we had The Moon which talks
about the deception that many people believe to be true. We had The Chariot which tells us that
things are moving quickly; but if we decide to hasten our movements further,
the whole thing could come crashing around our years. And again we had a loving nurturing card in
the Empress, which has also been synchronistic across many shows.
So to sum up the predictions: many people have been lied to by
organizations and institutions that do not have the general welfare of the
population at heart. Hopefully, in Washington DC we are seeing the start of an
awakening that will break the log-jam of dysfunctionality. In some cases, like
with climate change, it is more important to be able to provide for and take
care of people than to stand and argue as to what the cause is. This is
especially true when people refuse to listen. More and more Americans will come
to feel the pain of selfishness and self-interest. People will begin to react, and hopefully
this will bring about the change we so desperately need. So what does 2014 hold for you and yours? Now’s
the time to get out your cards sit quietly… and U-Predict!

U-Predict – 12/03/2013: The New Baktun – The Promise of a New Consciousness?
A year ago, the month of December was fraught with
speculation – was the world going to end?
What was the meaning of the end of the Mayan long count of time keeping,
known as a baktun? A large number of
callous folks who saw a way to make a buck, told the world it was doomed on
television, the Internet, and in printed material. The Mayans themselves spoke out and said that
it was time of celebration; that humanity would make a turn in consciousness –
and that it would quickly be apparent that the corner had been turned. When dealing with a society who has 144,000
CE years as their longest counted span of time, I had to wonder if they meant
quickly as in 5 years or quickly as in 50,000 years. That, and a bunch of interesting changes
taking place on the planet, made me want to ask the tarot this question. The Reading Room included Ivy Lieberman,
Anita Perez, Jean Maurie Puhlman, Kea Hypnosis, Joanne Matthews, and ReeNee
Cummins.
We started by announcing that the Vatican
and Oxford University was releasing a large number of ancient manuscripts
online for public view. Considering how
secretive the Vatican had been with documents in the past, the Reading Room
took it as yet another sign that things were changing. Since we had started with the Vatican, it was
natural to stay with this institution for our next questions. The first question, of course, had to do with
the fact that Pope Benedict had “retired” and the Catholic Church had replaced
him with a completely different kind of clergy; one who was truly concerned
with the sick and the poor. Not only did
this man criticize Catholics around the world who had forgotten this part of
their compassion, but he has called out governments and members of the media
who seem to not understand this value.
Immediately, we began to see the most important card in the reading show
up in synchronicity, Judgment. This card
represents the “day of judgment”. It was
very thought provoking to see this card when talking about the values of
compassion and care for the sick and poor.
The card also means “wake up.”
This is the meaning that most applied to this reading. We need to wake up. Yes, Pope Francis is a sign that things are
changing. Things are moving in a more
spiritual direction.
We moved on to the world in general. The tarot indicated that the Middle East will
continue to be a powder keg. The cards
responded that the thousand-plus year old arguments between the peoples in that
region will not be resolved. However the
cards were very positive when we discussed the fact that Americans had seemed
to grow war weary, and that we were seeing positive results of diplomatic
missions instead of boots on the ground.
The cards continued to tell us to wake up, that diplomacy successes were
to be interpreted that consciousness was changing.
The rest of the questions are best served by discussing the
synchronistic cards. Besides Judgment
(which was pulled an unbelievable 7 times in the hour), the Major Arcana ruled
the reading. Again this only amplifies
the importance of the idea that consciousness is changing – this is a critical
message that must be shared with the spiritual community. The Empress, The Hermit, The Hanged Man,
Temperance, and the Star were also pulled in Synchronicity. Usually, a card is pulled 4 or 5 times in
synchronicity if it is important; Judgment, The Empress, The Hanged Man, and Temperance
were pulled in excess of 5 times.
The meaning of the reading is very clear: Wake up (Judgment)! It is a time of rebirth and hope (Star). The
Empress is pregnant with the love of the Mother, and abundance will
return. However, there must be balance (Temperance)
or you will go nowhere like the (Hanged Man).
Keep seeking and searching your own path (The Hermit).
When we spoke about the United States, the tarot spoke of shenanigans
like closing down the government will end with the Hanged Man; a very public
and embarrassing way to hang. The people
who choose to behave in this manner must also ask themselves what are they
sacrificing by their behavior – could it be the next election, and their chance
to be heard? We will ask election
questions on our 2014 prediction show on the 10th.
The feminine was very apparent with the number of times the Empress
was pulled. When U-Predict initially did
a 12/12/2012 show as well as predictions for 2013, the feminine force and the
power of the feminine figured prominently in the reading. Not only are people clamoring for Hilary
Clinton to run for president, but a number of other outstanding women are
coming to the attention of the country.
We have Wendy Davis, who fought for Texas women’s rights running for Governor. Both Senators Elizabeth Warren and Governor
Jennifer Grandholm (2-time Governor of Michigan) are also considered contenders
for the presidential or vice presidential spot on a national ticket. Despite her attempted tarnishing by the House
of Representatives, National Security Advisor Susan Rice has bravely been
meeting with Afghanistan Tribal Leaders to get our troops out of Afghanistan,
and give these people a stable society to live in peace. These men normally would not even consider an
idea from a woman, as they usually see women as inferior. Something is changing to make this
possible.
The rising again of women as legislatures across the country
try to take away rights that feminist though we settled decades ago, also show
the waking of a powerful force of nature.
Again, the Hanged Man and the embarrassing lack of knowledge many legislators have shown
about basic human reproduction comes to mind.
As far as Minor Arcana cards in synchronicity, there were
only 3. There was the King of Swords,
The 3 of Swords, and the 5 of Wands. The
5 of Wands shows that despite major changes happening in the world as
consciousness changes, people will still fight these ideas. The King of Swords reminds us that well
spoken words, good ideas focused on a better life for people, and the truth
will help move the new direction of consciousness forward. The 3 of Swords shows that people will
continued to be wounded at an emotional level as this moves forward. Change doesn’t come easily for many people,
and people lash out in hurtful ways when faced with change.
All in all, I felt our question was answered. Yes consciousness is changing. Now is the time to wake up and move humanity
forward. How can we all do this? U-Predict…
