Ok, it's been a bit now..but I have questions about the tarot readings I did for the election. What do you guys make of these cards? Any input would be appreciated because I feel that I was wrong in the outcome and that bothers me. I have had several people say I gave them accurate readings in real life, but being wrong about this has put a damper

This one:

Q. Are we fucked either way?
A. 8 of Disks - Prudence

I don't read with the Thoth but I'd read the 8 of pentacles as a possible yes.

I've always thought of 8 of Disks as working towards a goal, which is what my first tarot book taught me it meant.

Well, first off: Tarot cards are just paper, readers are human, and things are subject to change. That being said, I would take the 10 of swords and the death card together as change and transition, not necessarily ruin. So perhaps politically or for Obama personally, winning the election will be a major transition (for us). Also, sometimes I interpret the 10 of swords as "melodrama", which is how some people react when the president is elected (and I'm talking about both sides of the fence. People reacted strongly to Bush's reelection, and people also reacted strongly to Obama's reelection. I think how/whether you saw this may depend on where you live, though). The 8 of Disks for Romney could point to someone who worked long and hard and who was very focused...I don't know, maybe he was TOO prudent

Thanks for this detailed comment, I appreciate it and you made a lot of good points :)

Don't let the election readings determine your worth as a reader...or others opinions of you. This was dead on, and for weeks there was actually an ongoing struggle in the cards. As to who was going to win. I checked them once a day and Romney vs Obama was a teeter totter one day Obama would win the next Romney. I thought it was interesting.

Thank you, this comment made me feel better :) Sorry it took me so long to reply ...it was very interesting..I was watching election night, and in the middle there I really thought Romney had a good chance!

That's interesting :) Didn't he say after the election that he didn't really want it or something? Maybe he was trying to save face.
