Psychic Delivers Prophecy For Trump On Fox News, And It Doesn’t Sound Good

Fox News’ Jesse Watters asked a clairvoyant to give a reading on the former president.

I looked up the one card she drew. It was the Five of Cups (UPRIGHT as drawn on show: Regret, failure, disappointment, pessimism) It shows a man in a long black cloak looking down on three cups that have been knocked over – symbolic of his disappointments and failures. Behind him stand two cups representing new opportunities and potential, but because he is so fixed on his losses (the over-turned cups), he misses the opportunities available to him. (This seems to fit Trump)

In the background, a bridge crosses a large, flowing river and leads to the security of the castle or home on the opposite side of the riverbank – if only he can move on from the over-turned cups. The bridge is a message to ‘find a way through’. (But obviously Trump is unable to do this.)

This is the Wikipedia entry:

This card can carry a meaning of dejection, disappointment and sorrow over past events. It can also represent a blindness to good in a given situation. Although the person pictured on the card has lost three cups, two still stand, and he or she fails to appreciate what is left. A river flows under a bridge leading to a safe destination, and yet they focus on their three lost cups.

Five of Cups Upright Tarot Card Key Meanings:

Sadness, loss, grief, despair, abandonment, guilt, remorse, regret, trauma, bereavement, mourning, heartbreak, unwelcome change, emotional instability, focusing on loss, focusing on negative emotions, isolation, loneliness, emotional baggage, divorce, separation, anger, disappointment

How many negative emotions can one card represent? Quite a few in the case of the Five of Cups! In a general context, the Five of Cups Tarot card can represent sadness, loss, loneliness and despair. When this card appears it indicates that you are focusing on the negative. This may be the result of some sort of trauma or unwelcome change you have suffered. As such, this card can signify heartbreak, divorce or separation. The Five of Cups also tends to appear if you have suffered a recent bereavement as it represents mourning and grief. It is a card of emotional baggage and instability and can signify that you feel deep remorse, regret, anger, sorrow or disappointment. It is also the Minor Arcana card of abandonment and can either represent you being abandoned by someone significant to you or you abandoning plans or people in your life. It can also indicate loneliness or isolation. However, for all the negative connotations this card can bring there is a positive message underneath it all. The figure depicted in the card is crying over the spilt cups and seems to be oblivious to the fact that two cups are still upright. This is reminding you that no matter how bad things may seem there is always a silver lining, you just have to choose to see it.

Here’s another explanation of this card:

The 5 of cups is a deeply sad card. One of loss, grief, depression and finding yourself struggling. I find it comes up for those who have endured hard breakups, menopause and business losses. I have something to share with you; this is a normal, healthy, human process. You might not be able to rebuild what is gone, what is lost, who has left. What you can actually do is really take a moment to feel this feeling, see where it is really coming from, and really feel it – cry, scream, shout, rage… Whatever you need. Once this process has been felt, we can move forward. Another thing to note with this card? In the original artwork, one of the cups spilt over has poison in it – sometimes things fall away for us to leave us falling towards better things in the future.

Above: Of course it is too tempting for me to not to put MAGA hats on this image.

I don’t believe in Tarot cards, astrology, or numerology. I do believe is some “ologies” like epistemology though. I am withholding a final decision on my belief in the power of Voodoo to see if my sticking pins in my Trump doll works. (Okay, I don’t really have one, but they are available.)

While anyone with any sense doesn’t think Trump believes in God I am not sure whether or not he believes in mystical pseudoscience or puts any stock in the world of woo-woo.

From Throwing Salt to Fearing ‘Bad Juju,’ New Book Reveals How Donald Trump Acts on Superstition, an article in People, suggests he is.

From throwing “salt over his shoulder” before a meal and avoiding people with “low energy” because they “carry bad luck,” to calling Fox and Friends each Monday during the primaries “because he didn’t want to change a winning routine,” Trump’s superstitions were guiding forces during his campaign, the book reveals.

“We were never allowed to celebrate before a win was certain, and we always had to take our losses with grace. Anything else and you’d invite in some bad juju,” they write. “It’s the reason that come election night we didn’t have a victory speech — or a concession speech — written ahead of time.”

If he is superstitious I hope he watched the Jesse Watters segment and it pushes him once and for all over the edge into undeniable psychosis, at least not deniable to those who aren’t in his cult.

There are those who believe that Tarot cards don’t lie.
