Will More People Face Charges As A Result Of The Mueller Investigation?


As we are all aware, seven defendants in America and quite a few overseas have been indicted and prosecuted by American courts as a result of Bob Mueller's investigation. One of the lingering questions, of course, has to do with whoever might be implicated but not yet charged. Attorney General William Barr is working feverishly to keep this information from Americans, and Congress has issued subpoenas for the information. So who, further, should and will face charges? I will see what the Tarot has to say. Once again, I am using a Horoscope layout.

We find the ace of swords, reversed, in the first house, describing the potential of the entire matter. This describes obstacles in the face of purpose, so we can safely surmise that there are others in this mess who have not been charged, but should be charged. The second house, of matters that are valued materially, we have the five of swords. This is conquest. There is a feeling, among defendants and potential defendants, that these cases are unnecessarily punitive, and the result of a desire to be nasty. Yes, readers, these defendants truly think that they are above the law! The third house, of communication, short trips, and written words, gives us the Page of Cups, reversed. This page, when he falls reversed, is someone who is a bit of a dilettante, and isn't always truthful. He is here, in this country, and he is youngish...perhaps in his late twenties. He is suspected of lying to investigators, and he may face charges. He is in the United States, and within reach of prosecutors; he just hasn't been charged yet. The fourth house, of domestic affairs, shows the Knight of Wands. This is someone who is still working on investigating potential defendants here in the United States. The appearance of this knight warns that someone who is about to be charged may try to flee. Perhaps information relating to suspects who have yet to be charged will not be shared with the public.

In the fifth house, of creative responses and speculations, the Moon appears, reversed. This tells us that practical considerations will rule the day. We do have witnesses who have not been candid, and we do have defendants who have been indicted but have not yet been charged. We will have to wait a little bit longer to see who they are. In the sixth house, of inconveniences and everyday matters, we have the Wheel of Fortune, reversed. This is not a good card for those enforcing the law. It tells us that there have been setbacks in charging the right people with crimes, and that suspects and defendants who have not been formally charged have found loopholes within our judicial system, in order to get away with criminal activities. If we move into the seventh house, of partnerships, where the three of pentacles turns up reversed, we get a glimpse of what some of those loopholes might be. The three of pentacles is reversed is greed, and commonplace ideals. There has been some sort of dishonest deal made in order to evade prosecution and continue the criminal activities.  We have the Hierophant in the eighth house, and this is tradition. The eighth house represents taxes, secrets, and the fruits produced by the partnerships in the seventh house, and finding a card of dishonesty in the seventh house followed by a card of tradition in the eighth house is curious.....could someone who had been trusted by a suspect spill even more secrets to investigators? It appears possible. Also, as the eighth house talks about taxes, one must remember that failure to pay taxes is what brings down quite a few of the most difficult defendants to prosecute.

The ninth house, of long distance travels, higher learning, and the law, yields the Page of Pentacles. This appears to be the answer to the reversed Page of Cups, in the third house. Here, we have someone who can refute perjury and false testimony with the truth. The Page of Pentacles in the ninth house also that Congress can and will get the report, either through subpoena or court order. In the tenth house, of government and public life, we get the two of pentacles. This is about communication and balance. Congress will have to fight for the report, and there will be ups and downs in that fight before the information in the report becomes public. There will be a strong suggestion to tie up loose ends and arrest people who still should be arrested. We find the eight of wands, reversed, in the eleventh house of organizations and friends. This represents more delay in bringing suspects to justice. It is quite possible that a few people who should spend their lives in prison will get away with serious crime and present a burden to Americans for at least one or two generations. The Queen of Cups is in the twelfth house, of secret enemies and institutions, telling us that while Mueller has done his job, a lot of the footwork still remains to be done. Congress will actually do a certain amount of it, as well.

Judging by this reading, there are still a few people who remain to be charged, or whose cases have yet to be heard, and this can be a good reason to redact certain bits of information. Defendants in other countries are involved, and have already gained discovery about this matter, therefore; the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak! It makes no sense to remain secretive, because the information will be leaked if it is not shared. Once again, this is uncharted territory for the judicial system, but the truth will eventually make itself heard. Yes, more people will face charges as a result of the Mueller investigation, but there are also people who will be able to sidestep justice, for at least a while. The citizens of the United States will pay, for a long time, for the upkeep and security of a few criminals. Sad.

What Is In The Mueller Report?

So why has the Mueller report been kept under lock and key, away from those who paid for it? Why has Congress been denied access to it? Does it contain some secret that the people have not already guessed? Why? Okay, I finally decided to do a reading about it. The whole subject will probably require several readings, but here is the first one. The first question, which with I will use a Horoscope reading to deal, will concern the findings of the report, itself. I will ask what Bob Mueller has uncovered, as a result of his nearly two year investigation. The second reading, which I will do subsequently, will concern the question of who should face indictments, yet has not. Then the third and final reading will ask why William Barr, the current attorney general of the United States, has declined to release the report, in its entirety, to the American people. Now, for the first question: what was uncovered by Mueller's investigation?


The first house, showing us the nature of the entire subject, gives us the Wheel of Fortune. There are dealings, here, which have had profound effects upon the world, and its population; and would have had those effects regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election in America. A relatively small number of persons have exerted an unbalanced amount of control over the entire population of the planet. There were few controls, or laws, stopping this, and we are dealing with entities who have virtually no ethics, so opportunities were ripe for the taking. In the second house, of finance, possessions, and that which has material value, the eight of wands appears. This reinforces the message of the Wheel of Fortune; opportunity ripe for the taking. A climate that allows and encourages unethical behavior has fed this situation, and it happened in a relatively short amount of time. Once again, there were no restraints or controls.  Next, in the third house, which governs communication, written words, and short travels, we have the Queen of Wands. As she falls upside right, I will regard her as kindly disposed toward law and order, for the time being. As wands represent fire, she is fiery, pushing forward any pertinent information quickly. She may be a key witness or a prosecutor. We will revisit her presence later in the reading. The fourth house, of domestic affairs, has given us the seven of swords, reversed. This tells me that there is definitely substance in the report, and that we are dealing with suspects who thought they could get away with violating the laws, both abroad and at home. When this card is upside right, it often indicates theft. Here, I am seeing that there were no controls exercised where there should have been.

We find the eight of pentacles, reversed, in the fifth house of creativity and speculation. Often, this house also deals with children and progeny. No one should be surprised if the findings of this investigation cross multiple generations, such as a defendant or suspect AND his children. It could also indicate the creation of a company or a corporation to be the face of any business endeavors, rather than a person. When the eight of pentacles falls reversed, it often tells a story of fraud, counterfeiting, and lack of true talent, as well. This, readers, is something that I believe was discovered in the Mueller report: if not actual counterfeiting, there was falsehood concerning assets or collateral, and the effects have been similar. This is troubling, as many countries have been affected. It is also bigger than the President of the United States at this point, although one might wonder why he played the game for so long! Moving along the the sixth house, of health, inconvenience, and mundane checks and balances, the card of Justice shows up. Yes, readers, there WILL be retribution! A global balancing act will be required, however. This is more serious than merely finding a president with his pants down or with his hand in the cookie jar. I would, at this point, venture a guess that even Trump was unaware of the seriousness and complexity of some of his "deal making" actions. This guess is more or less supported by the card that has turned up in the seventh house, of partnerships, where we have the Hierophant, reversed. The reversed Hierophant represents unorthodox relationships of all sorts, and finding him in the house of partners tells all of us that the Mueller report has turned up some very strange and unorthodox bed fellows! This, perhaps, is one of the reasons why justice will be complicated, here. The eighth house of monies and assets resulting from those partnerships yields the five of cups, which is a card of regret. Even as you read this, there is a teeny bit of regret on the parts of defendants, here; not because they got in over their heads or ran afoul of the laws, but because they got caught! Rest assured, these individuals will not get to enjoy all of the fruits of their unlawful labors.

In the ninth house, of long journeys, foreign nations, ideals, and law; we find the Tower, reversed. Trump Tower? Hmmm. This card, in reversal, refers to accusations, imprisonment, bankruptcy, and the like. There may even be defendants who were "thrown under the bus," so to speak, in order to confuse those conducting the investigation. This, the eight of pentacles, and the eight of wands in the second house all link to the Queen of Wands in the third house; we have someone who passed valid information to Mueller. Also, as the ninth house represents foreign nations, there is a foreign business that is involved in this picture. The whole matter will require more investigation, and it appears that there are still some aspects of the investigation that are not yet finished. The tenth house gives us the Emperor, reversed. The tenth house deals with government, public life, and order. When the Emperor shows up reversed, it tells of immaturity, loss of control, and sometimes, the loss of an inheritance. A business arrangement that did not work out, and subsequent unlawful actions to recover money are also at issue in this report. The eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes, organizations, and charities yields the World, reversed. In addition to lack of vision and fear of adventure, this card tells of success that has not been won. This goes two different ways: the subjects of the investigation did not successfully achieve all of the goals, and the investigation falls short of ability to deal with the entire scope of the transgressions. We obviously have foreign nationals involved, and some of them may never be brought to justice in the United States. Last of all, we have the Magician in the twelfth house. This is the house of self undoing, institutions, secret enemies, and sometimes, death. The Magician mastery and skill, organization, and creativity. This whole matter will eventually find its way to justice, but sweeping changes will be required. Fraud, money laundering, large and small bank larcenies, and other white collar crime will require more oversight and actual consequences in the future. From this reading, it appears that Mueller did, indeed, discover serious crime, much of it financial in nature. He also discovered that more than one foreign nation is willing to act in unanticipated hostile ways toward the United States.  The problem in prosecuting it lies in the fact that much of it was committed in other countries, and we lack precedent and jusridiction for prosecution under that type of circumstance. The Justice card and the Magician give your faithful blogger a certain amount of hope, though.

Jayden Tompsett

Jayden Tompsett disappeared in Queensland, Australia on December 31, 2017, after an argument with a friend. According to all familiar with the case, that is the last verified time anyone has seen him. I have gotten several requests for a reading about him, and I will see if a horoscope layout can help. I have seen virtually no media about Jayden, as he lives in a different part of the world, so we will also see my lack of familiarity with the case will help the reading or impede it.


In the first house, the face of the entire matter, we have the ace of cups. Usually, this is a wonderful card, the card of new life and new ideas. Somehow, this aspect is important; a new relationship or new adventure was right around the corner. Still in the watery realm of cups, we move the the second house, of valued possessions and material goods, which gives us the Page of Cups, reversed. Here, we get closer to decepetion with this upside down page. This is a young person who is not telling the entire truth.  The third house, of communication, and short ventures from home, and sometimes transportation, shows the six of swords, also reversed. There are a couple of things to understand from this: first; it appears that Jayden has not actually traveled far from where he was last seen, and second; the depiction on this card in many decks is of a barge or a ship moving across the water, so we have another reference to water.  In the fourth house, of environment and physical surroundings, we find the five of wands, bringing us back to games and deception. When this card appears, if often indicates untruths, or partial truths, playing roles. This card could also indicate an unsuccessful attempt on someone's part to garner finances or money that was not truly owed.

The fifth house, of creative pursuits and often, of romance, reveals the ten of wands. This is a relationship or friendship that did not work out, and ended. Sometimes it alludes to power that has been used unwisely. I was rather concerned when I saw the five of wands; now I am even more concerned at seeing the ten of wands. In the house of creativity, it could tell us of impulsive actions or accidental harm. The sixth house, of the mundane functions of reality and the inconveniences of life, gives us Strength. Eventually, Jayden's missing persons case will be solved. Strength is spirituality over materialism.

We find the four of cups in the seventh house, of partnerships and friendships that require compromise. The is discontent and reevaluation. There had, at some point, been a desire to rethink something important, involving a friend. Following this, in the eighth house, we have the two of pentacles. The eighth house is joint finances and the fruits of partnership, secrets shared between different people, and sometimes, death. The two of pentacles here tells of failure to communicate, and an attempt to avoid telling the truth about something, possibly something financial. Also, an abuse of electronic equipment for the purpose of false communication is indicated, here. I am going to take the unusual step of interpreting the card from the actual picture on most decks of the two of pentacles, specifically; in terms of the ocean waves in the background: this may have been the setting of a false text or other electronic communication.  A lot is not terribly clear, so far; but one thing is; this situation has a lot to do with a demand for money between so-called friends.  In the ninth house, of longer journeys and the law, we have the Devil, reversed. This is a tendency toward indecision and possibly someone who has gotten away with a crime. This is another card that worries me, when it shows up in a position like this. I would much rather see this card upright than reversed. It is beginning to look as if things went terribly wrong during an argument and efforts were made to hide the truth. As a mundane reference, a search of any place nearby bearing the name "Devil" or Devils" would be a very good idea.

In the tenth house, of career, reputation, and structure, we have the Page of Pentacles. This is a young person who is holding back valid information because of everything he feels he would lose if he came forward with the truth about Jayden's whereabouts. In eleventh house, the five of cups shows Jayden has a lot of friends who have not given up on finding him. We also find the chance reference to water, once again. I do think this case will eventually be solved, albeit not in the way everyone would like. I always hope to be wrong about observations like that, and this time is no exception. The twelfth house, of secrets kept by and from individuals rather than partners, yields the Queen of Pentacles, reversed. Here we have a double meaning; Jayden is either in or very close to Queensland, and the Queen of Pentacles is also a person, here. This is someone who could somehow help to locate Jayden, either with after the fact testimony or simply by finding him. Somehow, she figures in the unraveling of the case. As she is reversed and in the twelfth house, her aspect is unlucky both for Jayden, as keeping the secret will prolong the case, and for those who know where he is yet won't come forward; as she warns that the secret will be made public eventually.

Lindsey Baum Investigation

I got a recent question from a reader about the Lindsey Baum investigation. Specifically, the reader wanted to know what law enforcement has done to identify a suspect, now that her remains have been found and returned to her family. Since none of my earlier readings on Lindsey's case have asked that particular question, I think it is time to ask the Tarot. I also am curious about the investigation, and how and when Lindsey will get justice.


I have chosen a horoscope spread this time, because it is easier to get more information that way, and put it together. We begin with the eight of swords, representing an unwilling standstill, in the first house, which is the face of the entire matter. This is frustrating, and it tells us that so far, investigators have not put together a solid case or found the evidence they need to proceed and identify the right suspect. The second house, which tells us about that which is materially important to solving this case, shows the five of cups. Here, your faithful blogger heaves a sigh of relief, since it tells us that there are, indeed, some valid clues that can still yield answers upon investigation. These things, whatever they are, have been overlooked. In the third house, of short distance travel and communication, we have the King of Swords, reversed. Court cards of the suit of swords often represent law enforcement, and I hate to see the King come up reversed. So far, it gives the appearance of ineffective communication among police departments, (it will take input from more than one police department to solve this case) and it points, possibly, to a member of law enforcement who does not want to solve the case.......hmmm.  Moving on the fourth house, describing the environment surrounding this investigation, we have the eight of wands, reversed. Upside right, this card tells of sudden happiness and enthusiasm, but when it falls reversed, it has a very different story to tell: jealousy and quarrels.

In the fifth house, of creative ideas and creative productivity, we find the nine of swords. This augers more delays, and it relates to the first card in this reading, the eight of swords. The message is that investigators really do not know which way to turn. The sixth house, of inconveniences, has a rather unusual message in the form of the Hierophant, reversed. When this card appears upright in a reading, it tells of tradition and conformity; its reversed meaning is nonconformity and "thinking outside of the box". What this means is that in order to solve this case,  law enforcement will have to interview someone(s) they do not want to consider a suspect, and will have to look at possibilities they do not want to deem likely scenarios. Going back to the five of cups in the second house, I am going to venture a guess that there are two such possible suspects or witnesses and two sources of evidence that have not been tapped.

The seventh house, of partnerships and partnered efforts, gives us the Knight of Swords. This is law enforcement, and this is straightforward law enforcement, working hard to solve the case. The message of one police department that is either not communicating or on the wrong track is reinforced, here. Nonetheless, this is an investigator who will work until Lindsey gets justice. The two of wands, reversed, shows up in the eighth house of legacies and joint efforts. This represents a deliberate effort to avoid identifying the correct suspect. Clues have not been checked out as quickly as they should have been, and the investigators who want to solve this case will need to be very careful to make sure that evidence is not mishandled. The ninth house, of long journeys, law, and protection, shows the Queen of Pentacles, reversed. I really do not like to see this, because it looks like a woman, or an organization dealing with earth, dirt, DNA, and bones is either deliberately or inadvertently protecting someone who should be questioned. This case has been slowed down by professionals who do not communicate with each other and who do not want to look at evidence.

The tenth house, of career and relationships with superiors, shows the seven of pentacles. Once again, this is delay. It does show us that with the right amount of dedication, it IS possible to get justice, though. The Page of Cups, reversed, appears in the eleventh house, of hopes and desires. This is simply bad news, and perhaps, a false lead or tip. We may even see someone charged with perjury or subornation of testimony before this is over. At the very end, in the twelfth house of endings, we have the Queen of Swords, upside right. This shows that after all the delays, law enforcement and the judicial system finally put the matter to rest and secure justice for Lindsey Baum, despite all the false starts.
