Misty Copsey prior to her disappearance, and an age progressed picture showing how she might have looked at forty-nine years old. Courtesy of National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Misty D. Copsey was last seen in Tacoma, Washington on the evening of September 17, 1992, when she was fourteen years old. She and a friend had expected a ride home from a fair, but the person offering the ride was unable to show up. Later, Misty's friend walked home, but Misty attempted to take a bus. She missed the last bus she could have taken, and the last time she was seen was when she was walking away from a bus that was unable to take her home. It was at 9:20 PM. Some of her personal effects were found in February of the following year, but Misty has not been seen since. I was asked about this recently, and I decided to do a horoscope layout for this website about Misty. Horoscope layouts, while not as quick and to the point, offer a bit more information. The first house, of the of the situation, itself, gives us the nine of pentacles, reversed. When upside right, this is a card of independence and the ability to manage alone, but upside down, it means the exact opposite. It also hints as attacks from thieves. Misty definitely met someone who took advantage of her. The second house, of possessions and desires, shows the Queen of Pentacles, reversed. I am not convinced, at this point, that the Queen of Pentacles is a person, but I think she represents a missed opportunity; the bus Misty missed. It represents Misty's inability to return home, which was Misty's hope, at that moment. The third house, of communication and short journeys, yields the Queen of Wands, upside right. This is a woman who is kindly disposed toward Misty, and I think it is the last person Misty called, before she disappeared; it is most likely her mother. The fourth house, of the environment of the matter, yields the five of cups. This is a card of disappointment. Logic dictates that it would be the disappointment of not finding Misty, but I also think it represents the loss of a friendship right before Misty disappeared. There is often something left over, with this card, and I think another search of the same area where Misty walked away from the last bus would yield more clues or evidence. Next, we have the Empress, reversed, in the the fifth house of creativity and speculations. When the Empress falls reversed, it is often a woman who does not use resources properly or a message about ineffective use of resources, in general. Not to be harsh to law enforcement or first responders, but I do not think the best efforts where made to find Misty. In the sixth house, inconveniences and problems are highlighted by the ace of cups, reversed. The sixth house also represents known enemies (unknown enemies are represented by the twelfth house) and ace of cups here concerns me. Upside right, this card would indicate new beginnings and happy plans, but upside down it speaks of false starts, especially concerning affairs of the heart. I think she rebuffed an overly friendly advance from someone. We have Justice in the seventh house of partnerships. This is a good sign for resolution of the case. I think that at some point in the near future, someone will look at this case with fresh eyes and the elimination of the wrong ideas that derailed the case in the past. The seventh house is also about partnerships, and I think different law enforcement departments will start listening to each other, as well. The eighth house represents the resources of the partners of the seventh house, and here, we find yet another reference to resources! We have the four of pentacles, reversed. I think time and other resources were withheld in the past, but will be granted in the future. This card also speaks of waste, however; so I think law enforcement needs to be aware of the possibility of false tips given deliberately. In the ninth house, of long term goals and ideals, we have the nine of wands, reversed. This speaks to obstacles and a warning to be thorough. Judgement shows up reversed in the tenth house, of public affairs. When upside right, Judgement often signals a renewal, so finding it reversed here tells me that a lack of new information is going to be problematic. We find the King of Cups in the eleventh house of organizations; and I think this is a man in a profession related to law enforcement or science, who is kindly disposed toward Misty and willing to lend his skills to help with her case. The last card, in the twelfth house of secret enemies and death, is the Wheel of Fortune, reversed. I am sad to see this here. I, unfortunately, do not expect Misty to be found alive. I do believe that there is a strong chance for justice if investigators are able to look at Misty's case with new eyes and search again in some of the places where she was last seen. |

Kristen Galvan
Five years ago, on January 2, 2020, fifteen year old Kristen Galvan of Spring,Texas disappeared. Kristen was last seen on January 2, 2020, and there have been very few leads as to her whereabouts, since then. I decided to see what the tarot had to say about it, specifically the question of how she can be found. This is a horoscope layout, which gives me more information and details than other layouts for this type of question.
The card that turned up in the first house is the King of Swords. This king is often law enforcement, and the message is clear: law enforcement is going to have to crack this case. It is followed by the King of Wands, in the second house, which represents material desires...specifically that Kristen will be found. This is a male who isn't law enforcement, but who is very interested in seeing this case solved. He brings a lot of creative ideas to the table. Next, in the third house of communication and short distance travel, we have the four of wands, reversed. When this card falls upright, it is a card of rest and dormancy, but seeing it upside down tells us that there is renewed interest in the case, and that it won't always be dormant. Swords deal with written and spoken words, as well as short trips, so this could easily be a tip shared with law enforcement. In the fourth house, we find the five of swords, reversed. I do not like this card, here. The fourth house is the house of environment and the five of swords, when it falls reversed, screams, "revenge". It also details violence. Sadly, this element is part of the picture.The fifth house, of creativity and procreation, gives us the nine of swords, reversed. In the upright position, this card speaks of patience, but when it falls reversed, patience has run out. It is really starting to look as if there is someone, out there, with information that they no longer want to keep hidden. This also reiterates the message of the four of swords, showing that matters are going from dormant to active. We find the ten of pentacles in the sixth house, of inconveniences and mundane enemies, so we can expect searches and extra work on the case to be expensive. As the card falls upright, I interpret this to mean that challenges concerning resources will be met.
In the seventh house, of partnerships, the six of cups appears, reversed. This shows two things: new approaches are needed, and Kristen ended up somewhere unfamiliar. The people involved were not complete strangers, but were not well known to her, either. The next card, in the eighth house, which deals with resources of those partners we see in the seventh house, gives us the two of pentacles. This is another card that references communication; once again, I think a valid tip will solve this case. The suit of pentacles tells us that there will be a price for the tip, though. The ninth house, of hopes, gives us disappointment in the form of the eight of cups, though. Either there is information that does not pan out, or the findings are disappointing and sad. I always hope I am wrong about findings like this.
In the tenth house, of law and government, we have the nine of swords, which is a card of worry. This worry goes for everyone: family, law enforcement, and perpetrators. We have the Page of cups, reversed, in the eleventh house of hopes and ideals. This is a combination of bad information and dilettantism; sometimes it is good to revise search methods and look at cold cases with fresh ideas. The last card, in the twelfth house of endings and dissipation, we have the ten of swords, reversed. This tells us that this whole matter isn't over. The advice is to reach out for more help and to have courage.
In mundane terms, I would say start looking between four and five miles to the east of where Kristen was last seen. I would also listen, once again, to all the tips that have been given, with the understanding that not all of the tipsters have been completely honest or completely knowledgeable.

Kyron Horman, Updated
Kyron Horman has been missing from Oregon for over six years, now. Recently, his former step mother, Terri Moulton Horman, was was interviewed by Dr. Phil, on his show. This recent interview, and also a move to California, were quite unexpected from her, as she has lived with her parents in Roseburg, Oregon and refused to discuss Kyron's case with anyone, until this year. I have been asked to do another reading for Kyron, and so I will. I will just ask when and how Kyron will be found, and see what the cards tell us.We begin with the nine of pentacles, a card of material success and safety, crossed by the Knight of Pentacles, reversed....usually a man who is careless about how he does his job! What a paradox! This is founded by the Queen of Swords, who is often a woman connected to law enforcement or the justice system, so for now, I am going to assume that this is a woman who looked for Kyron when he initially went missing. Her work, and possibly her information and notes, will be helpful to those looking for Kyron now. Temperance also appears in the more recent past, which tells us that there must somehow be a way to "temper" past information with new information.
The next card is the Knight of Swords, and he appears as the best possible option, here. While the Queen appears in the past, the Knight appears in the future. These individuals are both from the suit of swords, and it appears, for the moment, that they are law enforcement. This is the young man may find himself charged with giving the notes and clues a second or third look. Make no mistake, the case is still open. The next card, and your reader finds this very troubling, is the Emperor, reversed. This is the "father" card in the deck, and it can either indicate an actual father figure who is misguided and somehow weak, or it can refer to being defrauded out of an inheritance, or it can simply mean that there are elements of immaturity in a situation. I hate to see any of those in Kyron's case. The reversed Emperor corresponds with Temperance, suggesting a person who has not balanced information, tips, or clues very well.
In the place of fears, we have the Knight of Wands, reversed. This is a man whose presence brings discord and division along with him. He is a person who can help solve this crime, yet refuses. He is followed by the Page of swords, also reversed, in the place of environment. Unforeseen events are augered here, along with another, younger person who does not want to assist in helping to find Kyron. The Knight's involvement has to do with the crime, itself, while the Page's involvement has to do with testimony and things heard after the fact. These are both people who need to be questioned. In the place of hopes and fears, we have the nine of swords, which is a card of worry, and I think it almost speaks for itself. The last card is the two of swords, reversed. This is the release of a stalemate, so while I am glad to see it here, I am concerned about the direction affairs may take, as this card warns that things may go the wrong direction. The caution here is about dealing with "rogues", or in this case, dealing with those who may either testify falsely or somewhat falsely, or attempt to protect guilty parties. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to see movement in the case, and to see that authorities are still interested in solving the case.
Once again, the only reference to Kyron's demise here is in the place of worries, rather than actual events. While I understand that the longer a missing person's case drags on, the fewer chances we have of finding him or her safe, I am encouraged. I think the "father figure" indicated by the Emperor should be asked a few questions, one more time. Perhaps this is already in the works. The large number of cards from the suit of swords would normally point us east for a location, but in this case, I really think these cards are referring to the police, the court, and to spoken and written testimony. This means tips, notes, and reliable clues, all put together by the right person. It appears that while this is done, the best thing for everyone else to do is show Kyron's picture to everyone, once again; and keep talking about this case.
