Victor Dwight Shoemaker

On May 1, 1994, five year old Victor Dwight Shoemaker was walking with his cousins in Hampshire County, West Virginia, and that was the last time he was seen. I came across a comment with a request for a reading for this little boy, and I am going to see what the cards have to say. 

We begin with the three of swords in the first house. This suggests that there were some petty squabbles going on that day, connected to Victor and the others with him. I think it's possible that there were older children who did not want a five year old with them, but ended up taking him along while they played outside. In the second house, we have the High Priestess, of all matters hidden. She is a card of secrets, and the second house represents possessions and material things that are important to either Victor or the perpetrator, here. So we have a petty squabble and something material playing a role. In the third house, of short journeys and juvenile family members, we get the four of swords. I do not like to see this here because the four of swords tells of matters that have been dormant and inactive, and this case has been unsolved for far too many years. I am going to guess that someone has answers that have not been given, yet. 

The Queen of Wands appears in the fourth house, of the mother and home environment, and I am going to guess that this is Victor's mother. She never gave up, and always wanted answers. Following this, in the fifth house of creativity and children, we have the Hanged Man. This is sacrifice, and those looking for Victor have been willing to make many sacrifices over the years, in order to find him. The sixth house, of petty enemies, shows the two of swords reversed. This tells me that someone gave Victor some bad advice, or dared him to do something dangerous, and the results were deadly. There is also a suggestion of abuse, but not by one of Victor's adults. 

The seventh house, of agreements and partnerships, give us the Fool, reversed. This simply shows that Victor was not in the best of hands when he disappeared. He trusted someone, and was let down. The nine of swords, reversed, appears in the eighth house. The eighth house not only tells of death, but also of the fallout of a death. There is still a lot of worry and grief connected to this, and there are people who have wished that they had spoken up immediately. The ninth house yields the ace of swords, and this is a card of extreme love or hate. The ninth house deals with dreams and ideals, and sometimes of longer journeys. I am inclined to think that there was someone who was misguided enough to feel that violence was appropriate, when it was not. 

We have the Queen of Swords in the tenth house of law and justice, and as she appears reversed it is clear that she represents someone from law enforcement or the judicial system. The case is still open, and justice can still be gotten for Victor. The five of wands appears in the eleventh house of friends and casual associates, and when this card comes up, it often refers to lies and cover-ups. As it comes up in a house that speaks of friends and associates, I think this has always been bad news for the investigation. There were other young people who knew what happened to Victor, and did not speak up. The twelfth house shows the King of Cups. This is a man who is kindly disposed to Victor and would like an answer. He is willing to continue looking, and to answer questions and try to keep the investigation open. 

For a location, I am getting a westerly direction, then south, then water. If a path is involved, it winds in a couple of different directions. 

 

Does Anyone Have Knowledge After The Fact About Kyron Horman?

 

There has been some speculation, on social media sites, about the Kyron Horman case, specifically concerning new associations of witnesses and suspects, and what they may know, or what they may have been told about the case, after the fact. Kyron disappeared from his Portland, Oregon school in June of 2010 and has not been seen since then.The main suspect has always been the former stepmother, who has since moved out of the area.I decided to put this question to the Tarot, and this is the answer that I got.

The first house gives us the seven of cups, indicating deception. Someone who has had exposure to case via the main suspect, the stepmother, has either believed untrue stories about it or has deliberately perpetrated them. To understand why this person has done this, we just go to the next card, in the second house of things that are valued by the person, and we get the ten of pentacles.....so there has been a material payout by allowing the truth to be buried. The Magician comes up in the third house, of family members and communication, so we can assume that this person has a certain amount of access to information, if he chooses to ask. And it IS a "he", as indicated by the Knight of Wands appearing in the fourth house, of home and environment! 

The fifth house, which deals with children and creativity, yields the Hanged Man, reversed. This card is a card of sacrifice for the betterment of the community when upright, but reversed, it indicates selfishness and an unwillingness to help. The sixth house, of mundane enemies and inconveniences, shows the four of swords, telling us that something that was buried, or dormant, is about to be discussed openly again, possibly in the news. In the seventh house, of partnerships and often, marriage, we have the Tower, reversed. Reversed or upright, this card is a card of disruption and change. As it has fallen in the seventh house, we can assume that it has to do with a partnership of some sort. In reversal, this card often negative encounters with the judicial system.

In the eighth house, which reveals the products of the partnership of the seventh house, we see the Fool. This is a risk or a chance this person has taken. He took this risk knowingly, too. The ninth house, of ideals and educational goals, gives us the Queen of Cups, reversed. Upside right, this queen is a sensitive and caring woman, but upside down, she is a dishonest and immoral person. The tenth house, dealing with public life, reputation, and involvement with government, yields the three of cups, reversed. There has been too much of a good thing; success turns to ashes. The eleventh house, which rules organizations and casual associations, gives us the Page of Swords, reversed. This page is often a spy or snitch when he comes up reversed. The last card, the twelfth house card, is the eight of cups, reversed. This shows a process from the first card, the seven of cups upright, and the unwillingness to recognize truth to the celebration of the eight of cups, in spite of the truth. It appears that as long as there is a tangible payoff to leaving the facts buried, there will be no change brought on without a rude awakening.

Margaret Tighe, Of Kansas

Margaret Tighe, of Kansas, disappeared in November of 1998, when she was thirty-three years old. Her boyfriend reports that he last saw her near Manhattan, Kansas, after dropping her off at the home of a relative. Her family reported her missing on December 10, 1998. To this day, her case has not been solved. We will see if the Tarot can shed any light. I have chosen a horoscope layout for this reading.

We begin with the eight of wands, in the first house. This house if the face of the situation, so to speak. The eight of wands is passion and enthusiasm, and Margaret was excited about something that day. The second house, of valuable things and matters of importance, gives us the King of Wands, telling us that a man was very important to Margaret. This king is of the suit of wands, as is the first card, here, which tells us that in Margaret's eyes, he was very, very special. Fast forward to the third house, of communication and short journeys, however, and we get the two of cups, reversed, which speaks of a failing partnership! Sometimes, violence is also indicated when this card falls reversed. The nine of wands also appears reversed; in the fourth house. The fourth house is the house of environment, home, and in a reading such as this, the situation, itself. The nine of wands, when we have it reversed, shows obstacles and problems. There is an air of impatience, and of being unwilling to wait for something, here. This might have been the subject of an ongoing disagreement involving Margaret. Another signification of the fourth house is the end of life, so we also can see a possibility of a heated disagreement playing a very sinister role. 

The fifth house, of love affairs and pleasure, gives us the nine of swords. The nine of swords is a card of worry, either upright or reversed. As it has fallen in the house of love affairs, I think it is plain to see that there were lovers' quarrels going on at the time that Margaret disappeared. The sixth house, of health, mundane affairs, and the enemies that we can see, shows the Knight of Wands, reversed. It is unusual for a person to be represented twice by a court card in one reading, but it does happen. This knight would be an angry or a jealous young man with violent tendencies. Sometimes a knight just means news, either good or bad, depending upon the placement in the reading, but since the sixth house addresses enemies, I think this man is a person. I also think he was known to Margaret, since he is the knight of the suit of wands, and the reading used the eight of wands to describe her feelings and expectations. This young man (or young in 1998) is the key to solving Margaret's case. 

In the seventh house of partnerships, we find Justice. I am glad to see this card here, because it gives me hope that we will, one day, find out what happened to Margaret. It will be a joint effort, though. More than one agency will have to work with evidence and testimony in order to solve the case. The eighth house, of legacies and of settling the affairs of the dead, gives us Temperance. This confirms the message of Justice in the seventh house; solving this case will require the expertise of more than one agency. The seven of swords appears, reversed, in the ninth house of ideals and goals. When we get this card upside right, it means theft or an effort that is only partially rewarded; but reversed, it tells us that everything is possible with a little effort. 

The tenth house, of government and authority, shows the Hermit, reversed. The Hermit is maturity, but in reversal, he is the opposite. At some point, there was either a tip that was disregarded while it should have been taken seriously, or some other clue was overlooked. In the eleventh house, of friends and organizations, we have the Queen of Pentacles. This is a practical woman who either runs, or works for, an organization that can help. She is instrumental in solving Margaret's case. The last card here is the Ace of Swords, reversed, in the twelfth house of secret enemies, dissolution, and death. This card represents conquest, and when it is reversed, that conquest is usually disastrous. There was an act of violence, and it was lethal. I always hope I am wrong about things like this.

An interesting note here is that while Margaret lived near St. George, Kansas, the investigation focused on Manhattan, Kansas. I do not see her traveling to Manhattan, at all. If she did, it was after she met with foul play, not before. The ace of swords also points us east, not west, and since it is reversed, I think this is a way of the Tarot telling us that while a direction east of Manhattan was not advertised, it is worth searching.

Daniel Little Of Greenleaf, Kansas

Here's a case that happened right here, in Kansas. In August of 2021, a man named Daniel Little was found deceased in the town of Greenleaf, Kansas. His death was ruled a homicide, and as of yet, it has not been solved. We will see what the Tarot can give us for his case, and hopefully, if anyone recognizes him or the incident, testimony can result as well. I did a horoscope reading for this, in order to gather more details and put together a bigger picture of what happened and why, since law enforcement has claimed to be stumped by this case. 

We begin with the Knight of Wands, reversed, in the first house, representing the incident, itself. When reversed, this knight speaks of jealousy and conflict, so we can glean that there was actually an argument that occurred between Daniel and another person (I am going to say a man, not a woman) that afternoon. The second house, which shows material possessions and sometimes, things that are important just to the individual, gives us the three of wands, reversed. This tells us that there was advice or assistance offered for something, by either Daniel or his killer, that did not give the intended or the best results. Following this, in the third house, of communication, we find the eight of pentacles. This is the card of the apprentice, and of work related talent. This shows a possible connection between Daniel and his killer that may have involved the internet, and something he either sold or a service he offered that involved internet communication. Sometimes, the third house also refers to extended family and community. This tells us that the killer was known to Daniel. 

The fourth house gives us the nine of wands, reversed. The fourth house not only speaks to the home environment, but the end of life, and the nine of wands reversed is a loss of patience, so we can understand that this crime was not premeditated. The fifth house, of speculations, gives us the High Priestess, which is involved with secrets, and this is confirmation that someone who does not wish to come forward is guarding the secret. There are also aspects to the nature of this situation that no one wishes to air, but which will need to be discussed if the case ever reaches trial, or even a plea. Sometimes, in a plea, the need to air information that is private can be treated more delicately.

In the sixth house, describing factors that are working against the resolution of Daniel's case, we have the Knight of Swords, reversed. The suit of swords, the court cards, especially, often refer to law enforcement and the judicial system. Finding the knight reversed tells me that law enforcement has not followed up with the information they have, albeit not enough, and did not do everything necessary in investigating the crime scene. As a result, they now have someone who knows that he can literally get away with murder. Very disconcerting.

We find the two of cups in the seventh house, of partnerships. On it's face, this looks like a very good sign; the seventh house is often romantic partnerships and the two of cups usually augers beautiful relationships. Looking a little deeper, though, we must consider that the seventh house also sometimes shows enemies, particularly enemies with whom we must coexist peacefully. So here, we have a partnership in the house describing these things! This hints strongly that there is an accessory, an accessory after the fact, or at the very least, a witness who has not come forward!! Next, in the eighth house describing the results, and sometimes the bank accounts and assets that are results of seventh house partnerships, we have the Emperor. This reinforces the assertion that the killer is someone in the community, who knows the victim's family. 

The ninth house, of ideals and education, gives us the Queen of Pentacles. This is someone close to the victim who would very much like to see this case solved. She is, and will be, part of the solution. The tenth house gives us Page of Wands, and in this case, it is a message or a tip. As the tenth house is about government and public life, I am happy to see it, here. It shows that there are still people who care about finding out who did this. Judgement, reversed, in the eleventh house, is going to be a bit of a problem, however. The eleventh house represents friends and casual acquaintances, and there is a sense that friends and casual acquaintances of the killer would rather not "betray" the killer! The twelfth house, showing us secret enemies and the conclusion of this matter, gives us the nine of cups. This tells me that the case will one day be solved, and that those who want justice will get their wish. It will be a rocky road of relationship upheavals and worry, but there are people whose testimony can shed light.
