Past/Present/Future reading for the current state of the US

The past card appears to show planetary influnces causing a major disturbance in our lives. With all the sqaures going on, 2021 is going to make 2020 look good.
Present card looks like vast amounts of people being fed poison and happily swallowing it up without question.
The future card appears to show things “unraveling” – things have been hidden from us for a long time.

if i am to be honest.. this looks really negative.
The wheel of fortune: when I see this card, i envision the man on the board to represent citizens of the US, He is what you would describe as “a normal middle-aged citizen of US” strapped up on a turning wheel that he has no control nor insight of which way it will go next.
Alike to US citizens there have been circumstances where people have no clue where they are going and do you know what else is funny- the republican partys representative is an elephant. Look what is controlling the wheel… I believe this card is suggesting Trump’s reign as president. Now i don’t want to get political I’m just saying what I see but if you look at the expression on the elephants face its almost grinning- hiding its laughter behind the control wheel while the US citizens are being targetted at with daggers and the skulls faces on the wheel also suggest a carnival game atmosphere. To me, this card is telling you that perhaps during Trump’s reign he allowed certain things to happen to civilians (by third parties) that should not have been allowed for his own entertainment and it was all fine and dandy to him as the civilian on the wheel is still very much alive- the daggers miss.
Another thing i wanted to mention was the cat and its surroundings. In the wheel of fortune card, the cat seems to be the only animal somewhat on the side of the citizens. The cat is neutral and is looking at the wheel like “oh shittt, they finna die- i gotta get out of here” kind of reminds me of that cat in Coraline if any of you have seen that movie. I’m not sure what the cat represents but I believe it to be an observer of some kind, lawful neutral. The moon in the background as you fellow tarot card readers know represent mistruth and falsehood, unknown truths that are being displayed.
Death: Following up on the wheel of fortune card with daggers being aimed at the average civilian on the turning board, the death card implies that daggers have finally hit the man and upcoming change is here, the man is off the wheel and has been replaced anew representing a change of leadership with the vegetable patch of pumpkins (makes sense as when a man dies it withers into soil, emphasised with funeral like surroundings)
Again with the blue/red flower colour theme, it reminds me of either the republican or democrat party, I can’t tell which one (as both inhibit the colour blue and red) but what i CAN tell is that the party in the ruling (the sunflowers) are laughing and smiling, very much entertained by what this skeleton is feeding the pumpkins. In my personal opinion i do see the pumpkins representing the civilians in this case and the skeleton being the current president with perhaps ulterior motives or the president unknowingly doing the wrong bidding of the sunflowers which represent the ruling party. Here the pumpkins are just happy to be fed for once and have a change, this could be referring to Bidens taking over the presidential office and give insight to how he may rule pleasing people but could be poisoning them at the same time. I only say this because the smiles on the sunflowers look very sinister. If you also look at the surroundings of the pumpkins EVERYONE is looking at them being fed, why is this so amusing? Its almost as if the pumpkins are excluded from something- the visual hierarchy to me is displayed in height for this card.
The cat again appears as an observer however the cat seems suspicious of the skeleton and is almost asking the pumpkins “do you really believe this? Can you trust what you are being fed isn’t poison” it looks to be enquiring how the pumpkins will take it, how they will react to it. Although notice this time there are more observers alongside the cat although sadly I haven’t the slightest idea what they could be. They seem neutral too. Another thing to keep in mind is the Saturn planet in the background, I don’t know much about astrology but I’m pretty sure Saturn is a malefic planet – meaning it is thought to bring bad luck but if any of you astrology people can help out if the Saturn placement here means anything id like that a lot ty.
The heirophant: Now this card truly spooked me out (no pun intended) the mummy in this case gives off to me a lot of “i am in control, these are my rules” kind of energy a lot of conformity and almost trying to intimidate others. Its eyes speak in themselves, the mummies eyes are strong. The mummy seems so sure of himself and the cat is also very friendly to the mummy curling its tail around its wand- which to me represents power, the cat seems fond of the power the mummy has and perhaps is bribed or given some of the advantages of it or the cat likes the mummy itself which leads me to believe either the mummy is the citizens reclaiming themselves OR some form of change in beliefs and new ruling as the two memorial vase could represent the pumpkins death from before (a change in beliefs of society). Although this mummy is so sure of himself- if you look at the bottom the two cats are debating amongst themselves if they should pull what’s under the mummy to reveal who and what they truly are, I’m hearing “you do it.” “no YOU do it.” (and as you know under a mummy is rotten flesh or nothing at all implying that whether this is a president or citizen rulership it can be destroyed and become vulnerable at any moment), these two cats do not seem to be biased they just want the truth to come out and are being as careful as possible to do this without causing too much hassle/noise. The hierophant keeping secrets also seems very much true to me as the keys on each armrest of his throne are locked they’re like entwined from each other suggesting they are guarding secrets which only further leads me to believe this is a powerful leader that is VERY much in control and not the citizens but take it how you want.

All majors, huh? Fascinating.
The Wheel of Fortune: What a fitting card to represent the madness of the last four years. The imagery sure encapsulates how I’ve felt about it.
Death: The US finally gets to move on from being in control of that power-hungry idiot, but now’s the time to start tending to the garden once again, as that’s a regrowth that will take some time. It is time to be cheerful though.
The Hierophant: Going forward, intelligence will be back in style. Good.

Seems prettyyyy acurate

Not to scare anyone but I’ve always felt at ease with the Hierophant, like a teaching moment, or a need for education, tradition and values. I think that the way that this one looks is a little more two sided with the jars on the side of a mummy. Maybe people are picking a side. One for good, one bad. This is the information given. What do you follow? Where is your information from?

I recognize that deck. It’s very cute.

The Hierophant is this year’s card. So that’s interesting!

I’m a bit late to the party here, but the Death card makes so much sense:
The death card is associated with Scorpio, which is ruled by Pluto.
Pluto’s associated card is technically Judgement, but Death (and the Hermit as well IMO) both carry themes of Pluto’s energy.
– Pluto in mythology is king of the Underworld. Also known as Hades: now, it’s very important to understand that Hades is in no way related to the Devil, and the Underworld is absolutely not “Hell”: there’s many layers to the Underworld, it’s an entire complex realm – Elysium for example is located here, which is a rather “heavenly” place – in fact, Elysium and the Isles of the blessed (another region in the Underworld) are both places of rest/paradise for heroes and those good of heart. The Underworld is also a place to pass through for those to be/wanting to be reborn.
– The Underworld is also of course a place of shadow – but not without light – the light is just different. Hecate, Goddess of Witchcraft/Magic/the Moon as well as Nyx, the Goddess who personifies Night are located here. Proserpina (Persephone) rules as Queen here, alongside Pluto. She’s also the Goddess of Spring, a bringer of flowers and one of the Underworld’s guiding lights.
– Anyway, the Underworld is a complex place and Astrologically, Pluto the planet is of course associated with these themes. He is the God of the Dead (though death personified is Mors/Thanatos). Pluto in Astrology also brings up our own inner shadow work, our own Underworld of the psyche. Pluto’s biggest symbol is “transformation”. Because death is not an ending – and anyway aren’t endings beginnings? 🙂
~~~~~~
To my main point: currently, the country is undergoing its Pluto return, for the first time. Or beginning to, at least. This Pluto return will last the next few years. This is when Pluto returns to the spot he was in at the start of the country. A deep transformation. Some countries fall during their Pluto return – others experience deep change. For the Hierophant to follow, (and also consider the fact that the Hierophant is associated with Taurus and Taurus is exactly opposite Scorpio in the Zodiac Wheel) – I would consider it to be a major shift – one of profound growth, The Wheel card set it all into motion.~~~~~~
Life is a constant state of change – in fact, change is the only constant. Death in Tarot signifies deep change, letting go and transforming – Pluto’s themes, the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly: the cocoon phase in between.
Similar to the flower maiden Kora’s journey into the Underworld, and emerging as Proserpina – Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring. Proserpina actually means “emerging”. What is in the underworld experience, in most simplified terms: growth, healing… these are necessary for rebirth.
I rambled a bit here, but hopefully this makes sense a bit 🙂
Many people fear Pluto, as they fear the dark, and the Death card in Tarot: really, in general many people seem to have a fear of change. But without change, the caterpillar would never know that it could fly.

???? Hope this helps! ????
*TLDR: the country is currently beginning it’s first Pluto return. This is a deeply transformational time. Wheel of Fortune card into Death card into Hierophant card illustrates this well, especially since the Death card is associated with Pluto’s energy.*

The Heirophant is theocracy and authoritarian societal control.

I am sorry, but I don not see this as being an overly positive spread. A phase coming to an end that may have you questioning beliefs. No matter what spin you put on it death is a change that may be painful until you learn the lesson of it. With the Hierophant in the future, may lead to quetioning a persons own beliefs in these changes that will happen. The hierophant is very rigid in his thinking and doesnt like to be questioned… I feel this year with what is happening may cause alot of us to question our beliefs.. ( seeking answers). I think this is still goimg to be a rocky year
