While the whole world is celebrating the birthday of our beloved MADIBA, paying tribute to this LIVING LEGEND from the African soil, there lurks a nagging, ominous shadow across this beautiful picture in the form of Jacob Zuma, ANC President. And I ask the question:
WILL JACOB ZUMA BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA?
You've read the comments of Desmond Tutu and others who express their embarrasment/ opinions in this matter and I've decided to BLOG my personal comments for posterity.
These comments consist of several of processes, one of which consults the Universal Evolutionary Forces in the form of a Tarot Reading.
Here follows the results of this particular process:
Tarot Reading and Interpretations
Self: The Empress

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Your presence, warm and generous, is sought after by coworkers and others around you.
The card in the Self position is about the role you play in your work, the way you play it, the way you feel about it, your attitude about your work in general.
The Empress symbolizes harmony, comfort, creativity and wisdom. This Great Mother beckons us with her life-giving support. She is the abundant matrix from which we draw vital life and out of which we individuate.
She exemplifies health and natural joy in the body, the healing arts, music and all things good, true and beautiful. We learn our highest ideals from her. The Empress in this position indicates that you personify something generous, warm and nurturing.

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Enthusiasm and strong resolve can propel you and others to greater heights.
The card in the Situation position represents the context of your labors, the social or political environment within which you find yourself at work. It could also apply to a specific drama or dilemma that you are now being presented with.
When the Seven of Wands is in this position, a number of excellent players in your career or work environment may be challenging each other to reach their personal best. The excitement and stimulation of being cheered on by an enthusiastic audience means everybody is performing better than they ever thought they could.
In this friendly competition, there are rewards for all coworkers who have participated. Clearly the greater good is enhanced by the enthusiasm of people who are committed to doing their best.

Advice: Eight of Swords

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Rise to the occasion in your work and career with confidence in your talent and ability.
The card in this position offers you some advice regarding your career or work. It might be referring to some aspect you hadn't considered before now.
With the Eight of Swords in this position, you are being reminded that every setback you experience at work may be awakening you to renewed effort. This is a learn-by-doing situation, and no formula exists that guarantees a successful outcome. You can be sure, however, that an open-minded and optimistic attitude will serve you better in the face of unexpected developments. Be willing to make the rigorous effort that is being called for now. Perform wholeheartedly, with good faith and hopefulness. It will help prevail against negative forces and overcome the demons of doubt and resistance.
Get excited about your challenges. Be confident that you have what it takes to improve the situation in your workplace or career. If you do your internal homework, the external situation will open up for you.

Challenges/ Opportunities: Page of Cups

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
As mystical imagination inspires you, learn what you can; but keep your wits about you.
The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity and skill to turn a challenge at work into an opportunity for greater success.
The Page of Cups (in some decks, a Princess) in this position points to an open-minded enthusiasm for truth combined with the optimism of youth. This page's devotion is admirable as long as it is not so dreamy that it is blinded to the demands of reality.
The energy that comes with faith and positive thinking attracts you, but don't give up your common sense. This student walks a fine line as he or she learns new subjects and opens to profound experiences. As this happens, stay practical and grounded so you don't get swept off balance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-Term: Eight of Wands

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You have the capacity and will to become the master of a fertile and bountiful endeavor.
The card in the Long-Term position gives a hint of your current work's potential. This is not cast in concrete. If indications are less than desirable, you can change directions by exercising skillful decision-making and good timing.
When the Eight of Wands is in this position, your persistence has the potential to produce splendid artistry that would reflect not only your ideals but also society's cherished values. You can create an environment in which others can feel their highest, most expansive and optimistic selves.
Your level of skill matches your ambition to organize, supervise and accomplish such a large endeavor. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious and can draw others in to enjoy the benefits.
