First, let me tell you what the corona virus a.k.a. covid-19 is not:

It is NOT a hoax.

It is NOT a Democratic plot to overthrow 45.

It is NOT going to “go away,” “miraculously,” “any day now.” …

If you are believing what this Administration is saying, you are acting like a Sheep when you need to be acting like a Cat. I will let the Gypsy Witch cards explain.

 

Question: What Can We Know at this Time / What Should We Consider Concerning the Corona Virus?

 

 

I decided to throw two spreads, the second one charging and using MICE to represent the virus, should it not show up in the first spread (Square 1). It did not, so I proceeded with my plan, locating MICE in the remaining cards and selecting it along with the four cards before and the four cards after (Square 2).

What I wound up with was two Squares of Nine, each with their own  Base Card (bottom two cards of the deck).

Square 1:

 

 

Those who are tasked with taking care of us (Shepard), our communities/ public places (Park) have been hit by a disagreeable surprise (Lion.) Honest communication about this virus has been withheld (6 ♦), particularly the ease and velocity at which this virus spreads with no regard for geographical boundaries (9 ♣). The talk/ information given to the public (Park) has been minimal and negative (J ♠).

Instead, this Administration has been, and continues to be, focused on the fantasy (note the “drunken stupor” aspect of Wine) that all is relatively well, will “go away” soon, and we should focus on consumerism (Pig), indulging ourselves (Wine) and looking ahead to a brighter future (Storks).

In other words, the Administration is not taking this health crisis as seriously as they should but rather as an inconvenient interruption of their goals and desires (despite efforts to communicate otherwise). The combination Pig + Wine + Storks brings to mind phrases such as “Indulge your desires,” “Eat, drink and be merry,” “Better days ahead,” and the like.

These cards clearly reveal the hidden agenda of our “shepherds” / those tasked with taking care of our welfare … they are committed (Ring) to ignoring/ downplaying the problem (Wine = fantasy/ delusional). Those surrounding 45 continue to engage in their sycophantic behavior (Cat = flattery), remaining all but oblivious to the “assaults and threats” (Rapiers) which will occur sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Amor as the Base Card pointedly depicts how very much this virus is attracted to us (contagion factor) which suggests it intends to stick around for a while.

In addition to describing the Administration’s attitude, Ring + Cat + Rapiers also suggests that We The People may be wise to acknowledge the corona virus threat as real and commit (Ring) to taking some independent steps (Cat) to care for our own health and welfare, such as social distancing (Cats are aloof and independent), washing of hands (Cats constantly lick their paws to clean and  groom themselves) and the like.

In a sense, the cards in Square 1 seem to counsel that because of this Administration’s inadequate, incompetent response and insistence on living in a delusional world of their preferred making while pretending to care about and placate us, we may be forced to shepherd ourselves (on local and state levels) in order to shield ourselves from the brunt of the “assaults and threats” that are sure to follow.

 

Square 2:

 

 

In the second Square of Nine, MICE, symbolizing the virus, is the central card, touching every other card in the spread.

These additional cards give insight into what’s being affected. Finances (Bear). Communication / the Media (Birds). Support systems (Dog). Health (Tree).

So we’re looking at our financial health /stocks (Bear, Letter, Tree) as well as our physical health, rumors/ poor communications (Birds, Mice, Flames) and a caution that perhaps we should look more carefully at those in whom we are placing our trust (Dog) regarding matters involving our money and our health.

The second row specifically spells out the obvious: this is a new (Child) virus (Mice) that’s on a long projectory (Railroad). In a sense the “journey” has just begun. The virus (Mice) is fanning out of control (Flames). As a Pivot Card, Tree (health, both financial (Bear) and physical) is at a turning point, the future of which cannot be seen in this spread, at this time.

Letter + Flames  with Birds in the spread suggests there will be a spreading of documents/ communications/ words/ posts/ tweets, etc. concerning this virus and what’s being done (or not done) about it. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Letter also symbolizes the cards themselves and the insights they’re capable of providing to the more open-minded among you.

Hand in Hand as the Base Card cautions us to be aware of who and what we align ourselves with. Who or what are you “forming partnerships” with? With whom or what are you engaging? Remember contagion is mental as well as physical and what you focus on expands.

 

The Astrology of the Corona Virus

 

As far as the astrology is concerned, there are astrologers out there far more accomplished than myself to turn to. I suggest for starters you check out Sally Kirkman, Marjorie Orr and, especially, The People’s Oracle (be sure to read the pinned tweet) for what I believe are laser sharp (if not chilling) insights into this world pandemic and how it may progress.

 

**********

The two Pivot Cards from Squares 1 and 2, taken together, suggest this virus is a serious threat to / assault on (Rapiers) our health (Tree). While I certainly don’t believe in scaring people or acting as a harbinger of doom, I still feel I must caution you. Please don’t be a Sheep. The Shepherds (i.e. this Administration) will not take care of you. They will not put your best interests first. They are interested only in profits, re-election, power and control.

Trust your local and state health officials/ governments, real scientists and fully accredited/ vetted experts. They actually do care about you and whether you live or die. Turn to God/ Spirit/ The Force or whatever you call him/ her/ it. Be compassionate. Take care of each other. If you have elderly or immune-compromised family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, check in on them. If YOU are elderly and/or immune-compromised, use your common sense and stay calm (or at least as calm as you can). Practice exceptional hygiene. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds rubbing and scrubbing (including under those fingernails), often throughout the day, especially if you come into contact with persons/ things that may possibly be exposure risks. Wipe down surfaces with disinfectant wipes.  Don’t put yourself in compromising situations. Stay out of crowds. If you’re feeling ill, please call your physician to discuss your symptoms and don’t just run out to the doctor or the emergency room without checking in first.

This corona virus will likely hang around for a while. The cards suggest a minimum of three to five months (Tree). Things will probably get worse before they get better. The more we can come together as communities and as a nation the better. This is not the time to let your personal politics dictate your behavior. Don’t allow yourself to be brainwashed and/or hypnotized by political mindset. Don’t be a Sheep.

You’re human. Act human. Love each other. Take care of each other. Follow the Golden Rule. Wash your hands and stay out of crowds. Pray. Stay calm. Be safe.

Blessings,

Mary Hawkins
