The Tarot Speaks – Where is the U.S. (and Its Leaders) Headed?
If you have been following me on social media or in groups, I have been offering psychic energetic updates regarding the political environment including elections for the last 12-13 years. Considering the current increasing chaotic energetic, collective, and political climate over the last year, I have offered numerous updates along the way.
Please note, what I say sometimes will NOT be explicit for a reason while also understanding the energetic implications of my words to the whole and my intention is NOT to incite fear, but to instill a deeper understanding of hard truths, clear out old wounds and learn how to move through uncertainty from a place of power, clarity, and grace.
The following is what is being seen through tarot, my personal interpretation, and a guide to navigate on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of global and political shifts, today’s (2/18/25) tarot reading sheds light on the energetic patterns influencing the United States, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump.
Past: Hidden Moves & Strategic Departures (High Priestess, Eight of Cups, Ace of Pentacles)
The High Priestess signals that much of what has shaped the present was decided behind closed doors. Hidden knowledge, secrecy, and power plays have been at work.
The Eight of Cups suggests that key players walked away from something significant—whether ideological alliances, old structures, or outdated systems.
Meanwhile, the Ace of Pentacles indicates this was not just an emotional or spiritual shift but a calculated one, involving financial and strategic gains.
This points to a past where political, corporate, and elite influences were quietly repositioning power, wealth, and influence for what was to come.
Present: Blind Leaps Fueled by Misinformation (The Fool, Three of Wands Reversed, Ace of Swords Reversed)
Currently, we are in Fool energy—a time of leaps of faith and new beginnings, but also recklessness and naivety.
However, with the Three of Wands reversed, expectations are not being met, and careful planning is lacking.
Meanwhile, the Ace of Swords reversed suggests confusion, misinformation, and decisions being made without full clarity.
In short: there’s a rush toward change, but it’s being fueled by misjudgment and false confidence.
The U.S. is acting impulsively.
Musk is making bold moves in AI, space, and media without full foresight.
Trump is making strategic choices without truly understanding their consequences.
Future: Delays, Chaos & the Fiery Fight for Stability (Eight of Wands Reversed, Temperance Reversed, Queen of Clubs)
Looking ahead, the Eight of Wands reversed warns of delays, miscommunication, and stalled progress.
Temperance reversed signals extreme polarization and imbalance—things won’t naturally correct themselves.
But the Queen of clubs aka Queen of wands is charismatic, confident, and fiery – a dynamic energetic figure who embodies personal power, courage, and creativity. Whether through a key leader (think women in leadership positions especially), economic shifts, or collective action, something—or someone—will work to restore grounded decision-making.
Final Insights
- The U.S. has moved from a period of secrecy and strategic shifts into a reckless, misinformed present.
- Both Musk and Trump may be overestimating their influence, facing consequences they didn’t foresee.
- The future brings instability, but also forces working toward practical solutions.
This reading reminds us: now more than ever, we must sharpen our “discernment” (something I said was a key theme in the 2025 energetic forecasting – click here for podcast episode), stay aware of the forces at play, and recognize that while turbulence is ahead, so is the opportunity to bring wisdom and balance to what unfolds.
More personal empowerment: The Queen of clubs fiery, confident energy encourages standing tall in your power, even when external forces or timing feel off. It’s about embracing inner strength and leading with intuition despite obstacles.
Reframing the delays: Instead of feeling frustrated or helpless (as the eight of wands reversed can make us feel), this influence shifts the perspective towards creative expression, leadership, and embracing your potential even when the path ahead is not entirely clear.
Accelerating Momentum despite the stalls: The Queen of clubs brings the energy of getting things done, not waiting for permission or the perfect timing. Her influence indicates that while external circumstances may seem slow, internally you can accelerate things with courage and conviction.

Stop.
