Today's Reading
Question: Tell me about the coronavirus situation.
I'm using my (personal) standard 11-card spread (the final couplet being obtained through adding the numbers across the center to find the outcome.)
(I will do a nicer photo next time...)
First step is to read across the middle.
Clouds (6), Butterfly (17), Rattlesnake (11), Crow (22), Tomahawk (10)
Worrying changes leading to warnings and poison... leading to harsh decisions to be made... Whew! Very appropriate, I think.
The center card is the main issue in the reading.
The Rattlesnake is about warnings (the rattle), venom, but also dry strikes... Avoiding it is best, but sometimes it's in the middle of the road - like now.
Coronavirus is causing huge amounts of panic rather than rational behavior. If you run from a rattlesnake, it's more likely to bite you! Let's be calm.
Surrounding the rattlesnake (above/below), we have the Pueblo (19) + the Bear (15). Because of the rattlesnake (coronavirus), we have assigned the government (pueblo) to become our mother (bear)... Is this appropriate? I live in a country which was built on the idea of trusting our neighbor and fearing the government, yet now we are encouraged to trust the government and fear the neighbor. This is scary! (To me, that's scarier than the virus.)
Leading up to the current situation, we look at the first two cards (plus the ones above/below.)
Clouds + Butterfly. The changes that coronavirus has brought has been disrupting and worrisome.
Dreamcatcher + Medicine Wheel surrounds these leading events. I find these two cards odd because the dreamcatcher is a positive card indicating luck and healing when relating to health (medicine wheel.) Maybe it's just indicating what all the worries are about - recovering from coronavirus (which is a better attitude than being scared of it.)
We also pair the "mirror" cards...
clouds + tomahawk = confusion and irrational decisions... exactly what we've seen especially in the USA where the announcement of a pandemic created a rush on the supermarkets like we've never seen before! Mostly to buy toilet paper???
butterfly + crow = change brings decision and going separate paths... Looks like the immediate future for people. Some people have moved home suddenly (in our area) to get nearer to family... And what will be the long-term effects of 1) isolation/quarantine and 2) social distancing? We've already seen increases in domestic violence in many places. I have a bad feeling that the human cost of isolation and distancing will far outweigh the human cost of coronavirus itself.
Following the current situation, we look at the final two cards (plus the ones above/below.)
Crow + Tomahawk = harsh decisions, possibly decisions which lead to loss. I find this concerning. That any decisions we make need to be carefully thought through. It reminds me of one time when in New York, our house was out of power in a snow storm. With a very young child in the home, it was scary. My husband (at the time) decided that we would be safer at his work, so we went out... and promptly skidded off the Parkway. Fortunately, we had what we needed to get out of trouble and decided to go back home instead. Our rash decision could have cost our lives!
Surrounding this pair of cards, we have Talking Stick (27) plus (14) Coyote. This is obviously focusing on communications - and being careful who you listen to. The coyote is tricky and untrustworthy. Even official sources of information may have an ulterior motive for what they tell you.
So, where do we go from here?
Outcome Pair of Cards
I get this by adding up the numbers across the middle. I got 66. Then there are two separate methods of reducing the number to a single card. I use both and read the pair (as appropriate.)
I add the two digits to equal 12. I also use 66 and subtract 36 amd get 30.
My Outcome pair are Flute (30) + Hummingbird (12). We have lengthy discussions (of a healthy nature), but we also have peace... and that's the most important thing to come out of this.

May I read for you?
If you would like a reading, please comment with a question (not yes/no, please). A good question would be: "Tell me about the future of Hive." (Rather than: "Will Hive succeed?")
Each post (hopefully weekly on Tuesdays), I will feature one question that was posed to me on the previous post - or privately via Discord. (viking-ventures #2883.)
