Forensic Astrology & Cartomancy: Missing Child Maleah Davis

UPDATE 5/31/2019:    Police have found remains in the search for missing Texas 4-year-old Maleah Davis after the suspect in her disappearance allegedly confessed about where he dumped her body.  … the remains were found in southwest Arkansas, after a “mowing crew found a black garbage bag emitting a foul odor.” The discovery comes after local activist Quanell X said … the suspect and the ex-boyfriend of Davis’ mother, told him he had “dumped [Davis’] body off the road” in Arkansas. According to The Houston ChronicleQuanell X said he passed along the information to police. [The suspect] who was meant to be taking care of the toddler while her mother was out of town, initially claimed that he was ambushed on a highway and Davis was abducted.

=======================================

[Note: this post was published on May 13, 2019] – Maleah Davis is a four year old girl who allegedly was kidnapped during a carjacking  in North Houston, Texas on Friday, May 3, 2019. As I publish this post, we now know the story was a fabrication designed to cover up the murder and disposal of yet another innocent little child.

First, I will lay out the story line as reported by news media, followed by the forensic astrology chart (with commentary) and the card reading I prepared and posted on Instagram last week (Sunday, May 5th) before many of the details were made public.

What We Know via News Sources

Friday, May 3, 2019: According to the girl’s “stepfather,” he was driving to the airport with Maleah and his own 1+ year old son in tow to pick up his fiance (Maleah’s mother) when he heard a popping noise. He pulled over to the side of the road and while inspecting his tires, a truck approached him. Two Hispanic men got out. One man commented on “how sweet, how nice” little Maleah looked. Next thing he knew, he’d been knocked unconscious, and spent the next 20+ hours in and out of consciousness, along with the the abductors and the two children in their truck until finally, he found himself on the side of another road with his son, but no car and no Maleah. Somehow he managed to get himself to the hospital (how, we’re not sure)… Eventually someone (we don’t know who but not him) called the Houston Police to report Maleah missing. This report to police occurred “just before midnight” on Saturday, May 4, 2019, according to a law enforcement spokesperson.

Sunday, May 5, 2019: Houston Police issued an Amber Alert for Maleah Davis at 8:27 a.m.

Monday, May 6, 2019: 10:30: Texas Equusearch joined the search effort at 10:30 a.m.

Thursday, May 9, 2019: The Nissan Altima, the car stepdad was driving at the time of the alleged abduction, was located in a Missouri City shopping center parking lot at approximately 10:07 a.m. There were no visible signs of foul play and the car was taken by police for further processing.

Friday, May 10, 2019: News reports surfaced that Maleah was last seen alive on surveillance video in her family’s apartment complex on April 30, the same day her mother left town for a funeral, when security cameras captured the stepdad bringing her back into their family apartment that morning. Investigators say he was never seen with her after that. On May 3, apartment complex security cameras once again captured the stepdad, this time leaving the apartment with his 1+ year old son and a laundry basket with a black trash bag inside of it.

Saturday, May 11, 2019: Maleah’s stepfather was arrested and charged with “tampering with evidence, mainly a corpse.” His bail was set at $1M. Police found blood evidence at the apartment where the family lived. The laundry basket he’d been spotted with on surveillance video and a gas can were found in the trunk of Nissan Altima. While death has not been confirmed, investigators do not think Maleah is still alive.

***************************************

Note: Maleah, who was still recovering from recent brain surgeries (in March and April) which necessitated the removal of half her skull at the time of her disappearance, had been returned to the family home in February after a CPS investigation was unable to corroborate extensive child abuse allegations.

The Astrology

***Please see my comment at the bottom of this post as it bears repeating. ***

I cast three charts: the Reported Missing, the Alleged Abduction and the Amber Alert astrology charts and gave them all a good look over. Ultimately, I decided to use the Amber Alert chart (8:27 a.m., Sunday, May 5, 2019) due to its reliable and exact timing. In case you were wondering, none of these charts seemed to be talking about a kidnapping caused by two (or three) Hispanic guys. The charts did not seem to be talking about a kidnapping at all. Rather, they appeared to be talking about a child’s death, possibly accidental, possibly a homicide that happened in the heat of the moment.

*******************************************

Note: When analyzing missing person astrology charts from a forensic perspective, I usually place the greatest weight on the Reported Missing chart. Here, however, I did not have an exact time nor was the report made by the stepdad. While the Reported Missing chart in this case provided what I consider to be valid testimonies, I found the testimonies contained in the accurately timed Amber Alert chart more compelling.

**********************************************

Note: While it is not my intention to bore or frustrate non-astrologers with boatloads of technical jargon, a certain amount is needed to illuminate my thought process. That said, please feel free to skip right over it if you are so inclined and head straight for the snippets I have highlighted in red which explain my findings in plain English.

***********************************************

 

The Amber Alert chart presented several red flags. I will briefly discuss a few that caught my attention. If you are an astrologer, you may see more, including some I may have missed.

  1. Maleah is assigned to the 5th House of Children which contains hidden information (interceptions). The planets that represent her, MERCURY and VENUS, are “hidden” (intercepted) in the 11th House of (among other things) unbonded relationships. This is a strong indication that Maleah has been “hidden” and that the stepdad has something to do with it.
  2. Both of Maleah’s planetary significators are peregrine (unable to help themselves). MERCURY is peregrine and under the Sun’s beam; VENUS is peregrine and in detriment (very poor condition). Maleah was at the mercy of stepdad, unable to help herself.
  3. The MOON is the natural significator of Missing Persons and serves as Maleah’s co-significator as well. While strong in Taurus, the MOON is combust the SUN and in the Kill or Be Killed degree (22° of any sign) and approaching a conjunction with the malefic (evil) Fixed Star ALGOL (associated with losing one’s head, either literally or figuratively). MOON last trined SATURN (a death indicator in and of itself and in this chart the ruler of the 8th House of Death) and the malefic (evil) SOUTH NODE, and is about to trine PLUTO (all three are death indicators) before going void of course, all in the radix 8th House of Death. In addition to co-signifying Maleah, MOON shows the action of the Event under analysis. Its recent past contact with SATURN and the SOUTH NODE strongly suggests Maleah was likely dead at the time the Amber Alert was issued.
  4. SUN and MOON are both in the 12th House of Misfortune, Sorrow and Woe. Emerson’s Point of Death lies between them at 16° Taurus. House placements of the SUN and MOON show strong death testimonies.
  5. The anaretic 29th degree (“end of the train ride” degree) is on the 5th House cusp which is the House assigned to Maleah. This exact degree is also on the 8th House of Death cusp in Maleah’s relocated natal chart cast for sunrise. (While this birth chart is symbolic and not her true natal chart, I have repeatedly found such charts “work” in forensic astrological analysis despite the fact that the Moon position, house cusps and Arabic Parts positions are “incorrect.”) The degree on the cusp of the 5th House of Children suggests a crisis (at best) and an ending (at worst.)
  6. The Arabic Part of Fortune is normally considered “fortunate” in Gemini and in the 1st House. Here, however, it becomes the Part of MISFORTUNE due to its conjunction with MARS (violence) and its square to NEPTUNE (Pisces/12th House connotations of misfortune, sorrow & woe). The placement of the Arabic Part of ‘MISFORTUNE’ in the 1st House indicates violence and unfortunate conditions.

Further comparisons of the Amber Alert chart to Maleah’s natal chart showed additional unfortunate impacts, causing me to fear that the worst had already happened.

Most seriously, Maleah’s natal SUN at 17° Aquarius closely squares the Event chart’s SUN/MOON conjunction at 18° Taurus while her natal MOON estimated here at 15° Virgo squares the Event ASCENDANT 14° Gemini. Additionally, her Secondary Progressed (SP) SUN at 21° Aquarius exactly conjuncts BLACK MOON LILITH (a strong death indicator) with both placements close square the Event MOON in the Kill or Be Killed 22nd degree of Taurus. It is difficult at best to hold out hope when the natal and secondary progressed SUN and MOON are as badly afflicted as they are here.

Where Might She Be?

The astrological placements of Maleah’s significators (MERCURY and VENUS both in Aries, a fire sign) in the Amber Alert chart suggested she could be found “near a fireplace, stove, heater, chimney or outdoors where there has been a fire and near something made of iron… burned ground… unfrequented areas (hiding places)…” (Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson, Simplified Horary Astrology). According to Ivy’s methodology, Maleah should be found within 12- 15 miles of her Last Seen location (the family’s apartment) in an East to SSE direction or conversely, West to NNW. While I’ve only had spotty success with Ivy’s methods of locating Missing Persons, when news of a gas can being found in the trunk of the stepdad’s car came out on Friday, May 10, this “testimony” became more chilling.

The Cartomancy

I read the Lenormand cards on Sunday, May 5, 2019 after casting the Reported Missing astrology chart, and posted the following card draw to my Instagram account:

Initial Lenormand card reading:

HOUSE + BIRDS + SCYTHE + COFFIN + CROSS
Forensic Cartomancy Lenormand Card Reading for Missing Child Maleah Davis: 04 House + 12 Birds + 10 Scythe + 08 Coffin + 36 Cross – Living with Cards © 2019

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

The reading was not at all comforting. It showed a domestic partner or house mate (House + Birds) and a snap decision/ accident/ cutting or severance (Scythe) that led to death (Coffin + Cross). I took this to mean that the stepdad did something, either intentionally or accidentally, that caused the death of Maleah Davis.

Additional Lenormand card spreads:

On Tuesday (May 7, 2019) I threw three more Lenormand card spreads (which I didn’t publicly post) and got the following:

Additional Spread #1:
SUN + TOWER + BOUQUET + MICE + STORKS (over ANCHOR)
Forensic Cartomancy Lenormand Card Reading for Missing Child Maleah Davis: 31 Sun + 19 Tower + 09 Bouquet + 23 Mice + 17 Storks over 35 Anchor - Living with Cards © 2019
Forensic Cartomancy Lenormand Card Reading for Missing Child Maleah Davis: 31 Sun + 19 Tower + 09 Bouquet + 23 Mice + 17 Storks over 35 Anchor – Living with Cards © 2019

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

Read from a forensic perspective SUN + TOWER symbolizes “the authorities” / “officials in charge.” BOUQUET is a tip and placed over ANCHOR, it is a “solid tip.” MICE + STORKS is something decomposing/ decaying that has been relocated. So what we have here is that the authorities/ persons in charge receive a solid tip concerning a decomposing/ decaying body that has been removed/ placed elsewhere. (On Friday, May 3, apartment complex surveillance captured the stepdad leaving his apartment with his 1+ year old son (and no Maleah) carrying a laundry basket containing a black plastic trash bag. This information was not released to the public until the following Friday, May 10.)

The Lenormand STORKS card carries the meanings of changes (usually for the better), and of moving/ moving house. In forensic cartomancy, however, I’ve found it can symbolize a relocation, a migration of sorts: the moving of someone or something from one place to another. In the spread above, my sense was that was what happened.

It was the card before STORKS, however, that really got to me… MICE suggests deterioration, decay, garbage, soiled articles, and other extremely unpleasant things and states of being. It gave me the impression of a corpse. And of a garbage pile, making me wonder if she was in a landfill.

I kept these thoughts to myself…

Additional Spread #2:
FOX + MOUNTAIN + CHILD + LILIES + CROSSROADS (over BIRDS)

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

While shuffling, I deliberately charged CHILD to represent Maleah which I then selected along with two cards before and two cards after. FOX mirrors CROSSROADS and MOUNTAIN mirrors LILIES. This spread suggested to me that Maleah is buried/ under ground (LILIES) in a remote area/ isolated place (MOUNTAIN). FOX is likely the stepdad in con-artist mode, trying to throw authorities off-track (CROSSROADS). BIRDS as Base Card could suggest either that the stepdad eventually talks or that cell phone data could lead to the location where he put her.

Additional Spread #3:
RING + LETTER + COFFIN + SCYTHE + SHIP

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

Here are my thoughts as I jotted them down in my personal daily journal: A written confession?? (RING + LETTER). Accidental death  or a deliberate snap decision to kill (COFFIN + SCYTHE). He put the body in his car (SHIP) and drove to wherever he placed / buried her, then got rid of the car and concocted his cover story.

 

************************************************

Comment:

In the hope that somehow by the grace of God a miracle could occur, I postponed publication of my findings until today. If you’ve been following this case you know that news released over the weekend pretty much confirmed that Maleah Davis is no longer with us.

Sadly, this case reveals yet another deplorable situation, similar to the A.J. Freund case discussed elsewhere on Living with Cards, where Child Protective Services returned a child to her home after she had been removed, because allegations of physical abuse apparently could not be substantiated.

As I publish this post, the perpetrator’s hearing has been postponed. There has been no confession and Maleah’s remains have not yet been recovered. I can only pray that either a confession and/or cell phone data can lead authorities to wherever he hid her, allowing family, friends and the concerned public to lay this precious baby to rest.

 

Blessings,

*** Please review this note regarding my process copied from the Diana Alvarez post located elsewhere on Living with Cards ***

Note regarding my process: I will only examine a Missing Persons case when I have a reasonable understanding of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance, a reliable timeline including the date, time and place the person was either discovered missing and/or reported missing to police, and the victim’s birth data. The birth data of the perpetrator/ prime suspect is helpful as well. I prefer to work with current cases.

Unlike psychics (no disrespect intended), I do not base my findings on dreams or visions, nor do I pull information out of the ethers (or my butt, depending on your level of skepticism). Rather, I read the ‘star language‘ contained in the forensic astrology charts that I examine and interpret it to the best of my ability.

The first step (after familiarizing myself with a case) is always the casting and examination of the relevant astrology chart(s), which are carefully compared to the victim’s natal chart before drawing any conclusions. Once that’s done, I may or may not throw a card spread or two to gain additional information, as I did here. Yes, intuition is involved. So is common sense. Everybody has both of these faculties to some degree or another.


 

Forensic Astrology & Cartomancy: Missing Child A.J. Freund

It may come as no surprise to some of you that it took a Missing Child case to drag me back to Living with Cards.

Little five year old A.J. Freund from Crystal Lake, Illinois has been dead for two weeks now and I’m still brooding over the disturbing facts surrounding his case. I didn’t know A.J. There was nothing I could have done to prevent his death. Still, the little guy got to me. Enough to make me draw up his Reported Missing and Last Seen charts last week and throw a few cards. I didn’t like what I saw but as I said, there was absolutely nothing I could have done about it. Andrew (A.J.) Freund was already dead by then, murdered by his parents. That’s what the charts and cards said. The police confirmed a day later via televised press conference.

Missing child A.J. Freund, age 5, reported missing from his Crystal Lake, Illinois home on April 18, 2019. Found dead April 24, 2019 in a shallow grave, wrapped in plastic. http://livingwithcards.com
Andrew “A.J.” Freund, age 5 reported missing from his Crystal Lake, IL home on April 18, 2019. Found dead April 24, 2019 in a shallow grave, wrapped in plastic.

 

The Facts

For those of you who are into facts, here’s the timeline:

  1. June 2012: first family contact with the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services – more than a year before A.J. was born – when his mother was investigated for drug abuse and neglect of a foster child.
  2. October 2013: two days after A.J. was born both he and his mother tested positive for opiates and benzodiazepines  causing DCFS to remove A.J. from the home for the first two years of his life.
  3. After his return to the family, DCFS intervened multiple times, responding to reports of abuse and neglect of A.J. and his siblings. All of these investigations were “closed … due to lack of evidence.”
  4. December 2018: four months before his disappearance and death, A.J. wound up in the Emergency Room with “cuts, welts and bruises” that were, at first, attributed to a snarl-up with the family dog. But an ER doctor who had examined A.J. told DCFS what the child had allegedly told him: “Maybe someone hit me with a belt. Maybe Mommy didn’t mean to hurt me.” Eventually, similar to previous investigations, the abuse allegation was deemed unfounded due to lack of evidence.
  5. DCFS was called in again when A.J. allegedly went missing. According to Freund Sr.’s 911 call to police on Thursday, April 18, 2019, the last time he saw his son was the evening before, Wednesday, April 17th, “around 9:30” when the child went to bed.
  6. After determining a kidnapping was unlikely, police attention turned to the parents. By Tuesday, April 23rd, public reports came out that canine units had hit on A.J.’s scent in the trunk of his parents’ car. By the next morning media outlets reported that multiple police vehicles had converged in Woodstock, IL, seven miles northwest of A.J.’s home. They removed a mattress and a shovel. They found the little boy’s body in a shallow grave, wrapped in plastic.
  7. On April 24, 2019, both parents were arrested and charged with first degree murder and are being held in jail on $5 million bond. A.J.’s younger brother was placed in a relative’s care. Court documents allege that A.J.’s parents killed him by making him take long, cold showers and beating him. An autopsy determined A.J. died of blunt force trauma to his head. He had been struck multiple times. Date of death was determined to be on or about April 15, 2019, three days prior to the 911 call.

[Sources: WTTW Chicago, USA Today ]

It was just as hard for me to write out the timeline above as it probably was for you to read it. I had to step away from the keyboard and collect my thoughts. Now that I’ve had a moment to clear my head, I’ll go over some of the astrological highlights, followed by the cartomancy of this case:

Astrological Highlights

A.J. had already been missing for a few days when I decided to draw up the charts. I really didn’t want to go there. Just from the news that had already been released, I had a bad feeling, made even worse when I learned that canine units had picked up A.J.’s scent in the trunk of his parents’ car. With so many reports of abuse already public and made factually available, who needed an astrology chart or a card deck to figure out what had probably happened? Despite this, I felt compelled to cast the charts.

The first chart I cast was the Reported Missing to Police, for which I had an exact time due to the fact the 911 call was released to the public. A.J.’s father called the Crystal Lake, IL Police at 9:04 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, 2019 to report his son missing. He stated that he had last seen A.J. the night before, “around 9:30 when he went to bed.”

I am not going to go into microscopic detail regarding this chart, but I do want to point out a few things. For those of you who are not astrologically oriented I will highlight in red plain English observations. First, notice the degree on the ASCENDANT, 22 Gemini. This is the Kill or Be Killed degree according to Serbian astrologer Nikola Stojanovic (22° of any sign). I have seen this degree prominent in other cases involving death/ murder. [The Ascendant degree is associated with death/ murder.]

In a Reported Missing chart for children I usually assign the ruler of the 5th House to the child. This is because the 5th House rules children. In this chart, A.J. is symbolized by Mercury, the ruler of the 5th House of Children. A missing child (or person) can also be signified by the Moon. Here, the Moon is intercepted (hidden) in the 5th House of Children and quindecile (165°, an aspect of obsession/ compulsion) both the Sun (the event) and Mercury, the ruler of the 5th House of Children. [The Moon, which symbolizes the child, is “hidden” in the chart and thus the child may be “hidden” in reality since in astrology, “As above, so below.”]

Notice Mercury (A.J.) is conjunct Chiron, an asteroid symbolizing woundedness. In forensic astrology charts Chiron often is connected with death.

Further, Sun (the event) is conjunct Uranus (accidents) in the 11th House of Circumstances Beyond One’s Control. This gives me the sense some sort of “accident” happened. With the MARS/SATURN midpoint at 01° Aries smack conjunct Lord 5 the Child Mercury, I fear the “accident” involved a brutal attack. (MARS/SATURN is a cruel, heartless, brutal testimony in forensic astrology.)

The Arabic Part of Death at 19 Virgo is exactly opposite Black Moon Lilith 19 Pisces and parallel Chiron, two more strong death testimonies.

But it is the nodal axis and attending planets that disturb me the most: the Nodes are at 21 Cancer/Capricorn, with the South Node in Capricorn conjunct Saturn and Pluto. All three of these are death indicators — South Node, Saturn and Pluto. And this entire aspect pattern is exactly square A.J.’s natal Sun at 21° Libra. This is compelling evidence of death.

Usually, the Reported Missing chart will tell the tale. I also look at the Last Seen chart, if available, which should agree with and/or at least complement the Reported Missing chart. I’m not going to show that chart but would like to mention that the alleged Last Seen time of “around 9:30” p.m. when the child supposedly went to bed had me beyond suspicious that the father was fabricating a tale. 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 in Crystal Lake, Illinois gives an ASCENDANT of 20°31′ Scorpio — mere minutes past the malefic (evil) 19th degree of Scorpio. This degree is referred to as Serpentis, “the accursed degree of the cursed sign.” In over 20 years of examining astrology charts from a forensic perspective, I have never seen a positive ending when this degree is prominent.

 

The Lenormand Card Reading

After evaluating the testimonies given by the charts I decided to throw a few Lenormand cards. I was rattled enough to ask a compound question, which can be tricky to evaluate.

Exact question: “Where Is He? / What Happened?”

Card deckMlle Lenormand Cartomancy Deck of 36 Cards

I have to admit Storks threw me off a bit. Generally a positive card, it couldn’t be here. Not with Coffin, Cross and Whip in the spread. I decided it referred to repeated abuse (Storks + Whip) since Storks can indicate repetitions and recurrences according to Anna K., a published Lenormand deck creator. The rest of the cards told me that abuse (Whip) in the home (House) led to death (Coffin, Cross).

Andy Boroveshengra, author of Thirty Six Cards: An Introduction to the Petit Lenormand, suggested that Storks + Coffin would indicate grief over a change or past error and Coffin + Cross would be a total loss as a consequence.

Andy’s interpretation really hit me hard and I appreciate that he took the time to offer his insight on my reading. Now, in retrospect and knowing the outcome, I can also see Storks as an indicator of a change of location, which actually is what happened. I think this was Lenormand’s answer to the “Where Is He?” portion of my question. Storks is connected to moving, moving house. The parents moved A.J. to another location after allegedly killing him within the premises. So the cards gave Storks + Coffin, change of location necessitated by death.

Concluding Thoughts

In the hope that perhaps in some small way I could help prevent even one tragedy similar to what happened two weeks ago in Crystal Lake, Illinois, I’d like to call your attention to one more astrological testimony I observed in the charts: little A.J. was born with the asteroid Dejanira partile conjunct (in the same degree) his natal Sun. Dejanira is an asteroid of victimhood and the Sun represents one’s very life. So what we have here is potential for a lifetime of victimization. While this particular conjunction does not and would not result in such a horrible outcome for everyone having the placement, it could be a serious indicator of abuse that perhaps should be investigated should it be noted in someone’s chart. I’ll go as far as to suggest that such investigation could be critical in helping save some other child’s life.

Lenormand Cards Surprising Prediction: Mountain, Scythe, Lilies, Letter, Ship, Coffin

If you’re like me, you probably do not particularly enjoy receiving a handful of dreary, dismal Lenormand cards in your daily card draw. Especially if you’ve only asked a generic, ‘how will my day go?’ type of question. For one thing, if you’re not careful, it could set the tone for the day, drawing negative outcomes through the principal of self-fulfilling prophecy — something I strongly suggest you should consciously attempt to avoid. After all, who wants to go through their day with a nagging cloud of doom and disaster hanging over their head?!

Certainly not me, which is why after pulling the following Lenormand Line of 5 with Base Card as my daily card draw a couple mornings ago and finding myself at a loss for any positive or helpful interpretations, I felt a little bummed out.

Q: Heads Up/ Need to Know/ Will Happen

Yes, I told you these cards were dreary…

*************************************************

News of a death (LETTER with SHIP, COFFIN)? A sudden and possibly unexpected (SCYTHE) passing (SHIP, COFFIN) of an older individual (LILIES), perhaps during surgery to remove an obstruction (MOUNTAIN + SCYTHE) that I learn about via text, email or news report (LETTER)?

**************************************************

Other than the above glum interpretation, I seemed to be drawing a blank. Despite the grim outlook, there was no way I was going to take these cards personally. Nope. Wasn’t gonna do it. Perhaps within a day or two I’d come across some news story or another that played out the particular scenario the Lenormand cards had suggested. In the meantime, I had better things to do, the first of which was making sure the Rescue Kitties got their second course of breakfast. 🙂

 

What Actually Happened

Later that morning, inspired by a sudden burst of energy, I found myself tackling an onerous chore I had been avoiding forever: serious clutter clearing.

With over two dozen boxes of old files and documents piled up in my living space, I knew I had to get started. Three hours and one huge box later, the message contained in the morning’s Lenormand card draw became crystal clear:

Shredding/ cutting down a “mountain” of old documents (MOUNTAIN, SCYTHE, LILIES, LETTER) and sending them off to their grave (SHIP, COFFIN)!!

Once again, I was blown away by the matter-of-fact, tell-it-like-it-is quality of Lenormand cards. As a long-time Tarot card reader, I admit I have a tendency to “dig deep.” With Lenormand cards, that’s really not necessary.

The moral of this post: Do not over-read Lenormand cards! 🙂

Blessings,

Mary Hawkins

Note: I currently have transiting Pluto (purge, purging, recycling) in my natal Third House (paperwork)! — I really should have figured this one out… 🙂

The Blue Bird Lenormand Cards by U.S. Games Systems, Inc. is a lovely little deck that is a pleasure to read and work with. The images on the cards are easily understandable and the verses imprinted on the cards are constructed to give a boost to intuitive insights. The enclosed LWB (Little White Book) by Stuart Kaplan includes a history of Mlle. Lenormand, a brief description of how to read the Grand Tableau (along with an example reading), and short descriptions of each of the 36 cards.

This morning I asked the Blue Bird Lenormand Cards to give advice and commentary on how to best achieve a particular goal during the upcoming months. I drew:

Q: Advice and Commentary on Achieving Goal:

******************************************

Note: As usual, I added a Base Card (bottom card of the shuffled deck) to the Lenormand Line of 5 for additional insights or information. Here we see 29 Woman which suggests the cards above it are of importance to the “female asking the question,” or are descriptive of the matter that is currently on the Woman’s mind. (I often get 29 Woman as a base card when asking a question that specifically involves myself. Take notice if you experience a similar correspondence, i.e., drawing a card that generally represents yourself when doing a personal reading, whether it falls as a base card or not. )

*******************************************

The spread is not hard to read.

BIRDS, which suggests thoughts, words, communication and mental activities in general, is followed by SUN + TREE, giving a sense of “healthy, vibrant thinking.”

While MOUNTAIN can describe delays and obstacles, the fact that it is followed by HEART relays the probability that these obstacles can be overcome.

The central or hinge card TREE suggests “health” or “growth,” which exactly symbolizes the question I had in mind.

***************************************

Always take note if one or more cards in the spread “confirm” the question you had in mind. To borrow an astrological term, that makes the reading “radical,” in my experience. While for me, the “confirmation” card typically falls in the central position or as the base card, it can appear anywhere in the spread, and I always take it as a confirmation that the cards are in fact addressing the question at hand.

****************************************

In the context of “goals,” BIRDS + SUN + TREE + MOUNTAIN + HEART suggests that positive thinking/ declaring the word/ speaking authoritatively, etc. are what is needed to achieve the goal in mind despite any obstacle or delay. HEART at the end of the Line of 5 ensures positive results.

What I’d particularly like to point out here is that with Lenormand cards, one does not need to spend a lot of time “figuring out” what the cards are “trying to say.” Lenormand cards are very here and now in their messages. There is no esoteric layer to muddle through as there may be with Tarot cards. You ask a question, you get an answer. With Lenormand cards, what you see is what you get, which is probably why I enjoy working with them so much.

Now while I won’t go into it here, if I wanted to get more detailed, psychological commentary on how to put the Lenormand’s advice into action, I could consult the Tarot cards for additional insights. But for the moment, I’m happy with the reading and am feeling energized (SUN) and pleased (HEART) about getting on with my day. 🙂

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards Correctly Predict Birth of Baby

The more you practice with the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards the easier it will become for you to intuitively realize when “system jumping” may be called for. The reading I’ll discuss in today’s post is a powerful example of how this works. I’ll show you the spread, but first, a little background:

The Back Story

Grandson #3’s due date was exactly one week ago. Except he was born exactly two weeks ago. Exactly one day after the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards said he’d arrive…

********************************

Daughter #2 had discovered she was pregnant in late September. Naturally, her first question to her astrologer – tarot card reading mother was “What am I having? A boy or a girl?”

I decided to cast a horary astrology chart (a chart based on the date, time and place of the question) to get the answer. The chart strongly suggested “male.”

Daughter #2, who already had a boy and was not-so-secretly wanting a girl, was skeptical. She asked if I could do another chart. I put her off, explaining it was “too soon” to ask the same question again. Several weeks later, however, after she’d scheduled her 20-week sonogram, I couldn’t help but take a look at the event chart calculated for the date, time and place of this procedure. Once again, this second chart strongly suggested “male.”

Both astrology charts were confirmed as accurate when the sonogram results came in: Daughter #2 was definitely having a boy! The doctor gave a due date of May 22nd. The pregnancy progressed smoothly and before we knew it, it was May…

Fast Forward

By early May, everyone in the family was baby-focused. Baby, baby, baby. When would he get here? Daughter #2 expected me to know. I gave her some “probable birth windows” based on Moon transits to her natal chart, but protested I couldn’t really get more specific than that.

One “birth window” came and went and we were in the middle of the second one with no indications that labor was about to commence. On the morning before Grandson #3 was born, having had resigned myself to the probability that he’d be coming later rather than sooner, I poured a cup of coffee and sat down to do my daily card draw. I had nothing on my mind. No questions. No nagging concerns. I selected the Gypsy Witch cards on a whim and asked one of my usual generic questions: “Heads up/ need to know/ will happen.”

Q: Heads Up/ Need to Know/ Will Happen

I almost fell out of my chair.

I immediately grasped the cards’ message, “Baby is coming!”, before figuring it out logically from examining the cards that made up the spread. In retrospect, I think the first clue was the playing card insets and images on 21 Stork and 3 House. I’ll get to that shortly.

You can see from the graphics above, I chose to use a basic Lenormand Line of 5, with the addition of the Base Card (the bottom card of the shuffled deck), which is my usual practice. I typically consider the central, or hinge, card first, in conjunction with the Base Card, to give an overall feel on the theme of the reading. Because 46 Railroad is not a traditional Lenormand card, I had to consider the “fortune” inscribed thereon:

“The railroad forecasts a long journey; if near 44 a serious accident; if near 29 a robbery.”

But the playing card insets on 46 Railroad and 3 House told another story: a benefit given or received (2 of Clubs); a male loved one (6 of Hearts).

Additionally, the playing card inset on 21 Stork (an image associated with childbirth in and of itself) is 7 of Hearts which is the “second chance,” “second time around” or “second occurrence” card. I read 7 of Hearts + 6 of Hearts as “second male loved one” (my daughter’s second baby, a boy) being delivered (Stork) and coming home (House).

Noting that Mice + Rod (Whip) could symbolize physical exertion or exhaustion and 6 of Spades + 10 of Spades could literally refer to “water breaking,” not to mention that Gypsy Witch 45 Order actually contains the word ‘labor’ in its “fortune,” the meaning of the cards couldn’t seem clearer. In this particular card spread, 46 Railroad, the “long journey,” was the nine months of pregnancy itself, which was ending, as indicated by labor pains (Mice, Rod, Order). The Stork was on its way, a male loved one (6 of Hearts) soon to be born and come home (House).

Very interestingly, the card numbers in this spread added up to 174 which reduces to 12, which equals 12 Children in the Gypsy Witch card deck. This was the clincher for me that my interpretation was on target.

29 + 45 + 46 + 21 + 30 + 3 = 174 = 1 + 7 + 4 = 12 = 12 Children

***********************************

Note Regarding 46 Railroad: With 29 Mouse in the spread, not to mention 3 House, “robbery” could have been a reasonable deduction, but my mind did not go there. The way the cards were interacting, labor and delivery (ending the “long journey” of pregnancy) seemed to be the only correct interpretation based on the energies surrounding my current reality. This is one of the intricacies of “system jumping” with the Gypsy Witch. It’s more an intuitive leap of the mind than a conscious decision to “try this or that” technique and see what pops out. The more you work with these cards, the easier that becomes.

***********************************

 

Summary

Just as the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards predicted, Grandson #3 was born within 25 hours of the card throw. I don’t know which blew me away more: the stunning accuracy of the Gypsy Witch or holding my stunningly gorgeous newborn grandson in my arms. And while I didn’t deliberately set out to combine divination techniques, the Gypsy Witch cards with their remarkable “system jumping” abilities, facilitated my doing so.

Conclusion

The Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards are worth their weight in gold. In my 25+ years as a card reader I have not found another divination deck on the market that can match the Gypsy Witch‘s uncanny ability for accurate prediction.

While authorship of the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards is attributed to Mlle. Lenormand herself, I can’t help but suspect some unknown, unnamed protegee was actually responsible for collecting and categorizing Mlle. Lenormand’s secrets and transforming them into the ingenious, if not magickal, card system we know today as the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards.

Perhaps it was the Gypsy Witch ….
