Tarot Canadian Politics, Election Day!

Well, it is finally election day. We have watched the craziest election cycle I have ever seen with politicians disappearing the entire time and people publishing tell-all books that tell nothing more than what we already knew, in order to disrupt the outcome.

Well we shall see tonight is the night!

In the meantime, here's how the cards play down today...

LPC
Ace of Cups, Ten of Pentacles, Queen of Wands

Holy crap. The Ace speaks to emotional joy beginning, followed by the fullness of the success of the ten of pentacles, and the Queen of Wands making it all real; I have a difficult time, not calling a Liberal Majority with these cards.

Should it not be a LPC majority, it will be a much stronger minority than they had going into the election.

CPC
: Ace of Pentacles, Princess of Wands, Ten of Cups

So, these cards give me pause on the heels of the cards I just drew for the LPC. The ten of cups suggest great joy and happiness coming out of the election. Am I seeing relieve that they didn't get their hats handed to them? At the very least, it seems that the Base is going to come out solid for the CPC and they will likely continue to be the Official Opposition, post-election. 

NDP: Ace of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, Two of Swords

The split occurring in the Two of Swords is interesting, as if there will be a physical divide between good solid successes in the NDP Camp, but the results will leave the NDP with a decision to make.

GPC: Nine of Pentacles, Nine of Cups, Eight of Pentacles 

I keep getting weird cards for the GPC. the 9 of pentacles is the energy of desire, envy, jealousy towards the other, coupled with the wish card, the nine of cups, there is a good solid base for joy and happiness and sucess, the eight suggest that there will be good solid forward movement for the Greens to grown on.

BQ: Ten of cups, Nine of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles

The desire to win and the envy of the physical competition seems not to deter the Bloc, looks like they'll come out of the election with a good standing position.


And the Leaders:

Justin Trudeau
: Two of Swords, 6 of Wands, The Star


Looks like our incumbent is going to pull a rabbit out of the hat. The idea that choosing to run the election in spite of the continued calls for one from the opposition, pays off for the opposition, giving him his victory, but not the outcome he went into the election hoping for. 

Jagmeet Singh: The Hermit, The Devil, Six of Wands

His refusal to give up control of the idea that he might one day be PM is an overriding energy to which Mr. Singh has sold his soul. In spite of this he will win his seat. 

Annamie Paul: The Devil, 7 of Swords, Princess of Cups

Ms. Paul comes to the election with control issues, and in spite of her very powerful appearance after the debates, the negative commentary surrounding her camp may ultimately take a toll on her campaign and although she may not be successful, don't count her out, her campaign is only getting started, she has a heartfelt commitment to the party.

Erin O’Toole
: Lovers, Two of Wands, Death

Mr. O'Toole came to the table with the idea of uniting Canadians behind defeating his opponent, the incumbent. In spite of the very positive campaign he brought, the voters believe the air that comes from his victory will be quite the opposite of that, and as a result of that, his own riding may have listened to him and chosen change. If he gets his wish, it will be because Canadians decided to make a change, and I feel more like it is just his supporters who decide they want change. 

Maxime Bernier: Lovers, Magician, Courage

Looking for kindred spirits, Mr. Bernier brings all of the possible tools required to bring his version of magic to power. It's as if he brings to the table everything that society needs, except the courage required to speak a truth to light. These are powerfully rough cards.

Yves-François Blanchet: Knight of Swords, Princess of Swords, The Devil

Speaking his truth out loud has sparked a movement, will it have sparked loudly enough yet to create change? The Devil cards suggest it has. The separatists have awoken and may very well make their presence known this go around. They did say Quebec is Mr. Trudeau's to lose.

Summary

With these cards, I predict a Liberal minority government. I expect that the entire landscape is going to look very much the same as it did going into the election.

I asked how different the House will look after the election:

 3 of Wands, Princess of Wands, Five of Swords.

As progressive and harmonic as the Nation would like to be, and although seeds have been planted for people to work together, and grow and heal Canada, there are just enough detractors for the same chicanery that went before to continue on afterwards.

Hold onto your hats, and refuse to park your brain at the door.

Tarot Canadian Politics, halftime show!

 We find ourselves halfway through the election cycle and now comes the time to test the progress of the Candidates. As I prepare to read their cards, the CPC is polling in first place, with the Liberals in close second, followed by the NDP, greens etc.


Here's how the cards play down...

LPC
Empress Rx, The Moon, Queen of Pentacles Rx

That Empress reversed shows the feeling of frustration and anxiety the Liberals are feeling, they've got get really bright and shiny about where they are looking for their votes, they're feeling a little more shaky than they actually are. So they have to ground themselves and stop listening to the egoes.

CPC
Five of Wands Rx, Eight of Cups Rx, Three of Swords Rx

So, these cards don't make any right sense given the polls. Essentially, the five has them battling and struggling to move ahead, and mostly fear that at the end of they day, they're dead in the water. Possibly the energy refers to the inability to bring in anything more than just their base in spite of OTooles plan. 

NDP: The Sun Rx, 4 Wands Rx, Page of Pentacles

The positive aspect of the three cards is not lost on the fact that there is a probability for gains, but not enough to get any further ahead than still building. The NDP needs to focus on grounding their positive energies and bringing those to the fore and there they'll find the growth they seek.

GPC: 2 of Cups jumped out of the deck; a possible merger? followed by the 9 of Swords, 3 of cups and 8 of wands. 
This doesn't look good for the Greens, there is a large amount of energy encouraging their supporters to cross the floor in order to further their goals.

BQ: The Bloc got a boost in the arm from the debate. All that remains in putting their winning campaign together is to not lose it in the English debates and just go with the flow.

Others: Seven of Pentacles Rx, Lovers Rx, King of Pentacles Rx

Bad news but here we see the bitterness at being left out in the cold, a jilted lover and and an unfulfilled King.


Justin Trudeau: The Devil, Ten of Swords Rx, Ace of Swords Rx

Our incumbent PM is feeling a mite like he isn't as in control as he'd like to be, and is feeling rather enslaved to the situation in spite of the fact that it isn't over until election day. He still has a few cards up his sleeve. 


Jagmeet Singh: Knight of Wands Rx, Six of Pentacles, Ten of Pentacles

The leader of the NDP wants to ride into Parliament on his trusty electric bike, and he'll find that his consistent give and take and compromising is going to pay off for him, in spite of the fact that he is not Jack Layton. 

Annamie Paul: Wheel of Fortune, Ace of Swords, Six of Wands

You pays your money, you takes your chances. Hiding behind the truth created a situation that may have created an unnecessary battle for Ms. Paul. If she can get out of her head, she will see her way to some victory.

Erin O’Toole: Strength, Queen of Swords Rx, Knight of Swords

Mr. O'toole is stalwart confident, but he is petrified that a perceived gaffe of his has spun his campaign out of control! He is hoping the campaign will pay off in spite of it, but knows he is in for a wild ride.

Maxime Bernier: Eight of Pentacles Rx, Death, Judgement

Tearing down and unbuilding has created the slow bleed that will be the death of his party. The writing has been on the wall for a while, now it's time to heed the call of the universe.

Yves-François Blanchet: Wishing to inject positive energy into a campaign that just consistently seems to leave him wondering what to do next, he will be left with a choice he does not care to make.

Summary

Based on these cards, I suggest that a minority Conservative Government may be in the works. Right now the cards suggest it will be very close. We have two weeks until election day.

Can the Liberals pull it off?

We shall see.
