Tarot Reading on the Russian Military : December 9, 2022

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221208russianmilitary01

Another series of reading on BRICS because I feel like I should do an update of my reading from August 2022. And, back in September, I randomly shuffled and out of curiosity asked if there might be Full Mobilization in Russia. I got a yes and did not publish the result. I am mentioning this now because journalists are now talking about it and Western government seem keen on making Russia their enemy by calling it a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’. I will say that I think that LOGICALLY it does not make sense for Major Governments to start an all out war with each other because EVERYONE should know about the negative consequences that would bring. Therefore, full mobilization is Unlikely to me in a Logical sense. I am not going to do a reading on this because, as with ANY prediction practice, we see Possibilities and nothing is 100% absolute (except that all mortals die), there can be freak accidents, and upsets that change things in very unexpected ways.

Key Card:
Pain. The pain and suffering of everyone and everything. Everything we have done to ourselves, to each other, to the world.

Pain can drive people to madness. It can hurt them beyond repair. But it can also make us stronger, and more durable, it can propel us to help others, to speak out, and to change things as we seek a more positive outcome, something that does not look as bleak as what we are watching unfold.

Pain can be an impetus to move forward. It can be a training tool to scare someone away from something, it can be used to manipulate and oppress others and prevent them from moving on.

Key Card Message:
Anything can happen but things are on the positive side (adding in all other cards in the reading)

Current Situation:
They are working with what they know instead of learning new skills, which may be a distraction if they allocate resources improperly. There is a lot of work to be done and that is what they are focused on. There is also a moving away from ideals or perhaps a reassessment of what they had thought they wanted or could achieve. In general, The workload they have will be processed with practicality instead of idealisms.

Energy in Development:
The system is already well organized from experience and tradition and will be working with the established hierarchy of command in the development and manifestation of their military ventures. There is a lot of stuff (military operations??) that will be coming to fruition.

Resultant Developments from Energy:
The plan they have will be expanded upon with more branches or pathways. This may move away from what they had intuitively sought. The simple plan they had is becoming more complicated. They are moving into a more active state of doing instead of the passivity of having things done to them. The planning may become more aggressive.

Expected Outcome:
Strength and Power. However, this power is binding with the dominance and fear that it brings. The sun shines on their military which basks in its nurturing light. There is a sense of harmony that allows it to flourish. Plants grow very well when the conditions are right. However, a garden must be carefully maintained lest the start to grow wild. And with the appearance of the Devil card, it reminds and warns us all to be wary of dealing with a military gone wild. (Grounding Card is the Emperor : the rule of Law & Order having Dominion over the military to keep it in line so that it does not go wild ie proper discipline)

The Crown of Power is heavy and crushing but the Strength card shows that they are strong enough to handle it, but it does require work to do so.

Variables of Change:
Deep self-reflection from all parties involved. Reflecting beyond the self. The Hanged Man is upside-down, it asks “Can you see the other side? Can you look at the situation from a different perspective?”

Reflecting on whether the work they are doing is giving them a sense of fulfillment and security. The Happy Squirrel shows us that this work must be done. But they can try and find or do work that makes them “happy” intrinsically.

In regard to the military, it could be military projects or actions that bring fulfillment after reflecting on the situation.

Message from Grounding & Crowning Cards:
What pulls everything together is a Dominant System (Emperor : Law & Order) that strongly wields, controls, manages and directs the Power of Military Might.

What helps them move forward is emotionally withdrawing from the external world to focus inward. This brings emotional perspective that helps to maneuver through the emotional tug of soft power and distractions.

Extra cards’ message:
They are showing the world what they are capable of and it brings recognition along with exposure from which they can not withdraw. A blossoming recognition can being many political benefits. Being so exposed prevents them from quietly deciding or moving without disturbances.
