The UK Local Elections in Tarot

Plus The Modern I Ching, The Garden Oracle and Astrology Oracle

1641 COUNCIL SEATS WILL BE DECIDED on 1st May 2025. What can the Smith Waite Tarot, Modern I Ching, Astrology Oracle and Garden Oracle reveal about the contest? My question was ‘Who and what wins?’ So many of you are professional or natural psychics, I’ll be curious to see what you think.

The Modern I Ching and Vision

Rose-tinted glasses, a strong but intensely personal vision (not everyone will see it the same way) and a powerful, fixed view are revealed here.

The Six of Wands

A proper old-fashioned battle, with a triumphant leader, shows up here. This is about an almost military victory. Again, you can see the leader’s vision.

Hygiea and the Eighth House

The astrology is specific here. Hygiea is about prevention, not cure and describes shielding, ‘insurance’ for what could go wrong, preventative measures and cautious common sense.

The Eighth House describes the banks, insurance, pension/superannuation, the country’s economy, shopping, debt, credit cards, houses, flats and the material side of a marriage (a mortgage) and the financial side of a family (the inheritance, trust fund, wills). Hygiea, sometimes spelled Hygeia, was the Roman goddess of what we now call hygiene. There’s a nod to the N.H.S. here because she is associated with a family of healers.

The Natural Businesswoman

The Garden Oracle is quite explicit here. A woman wins, or women (as a whole) win. Both Kemi Badenoch for the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage for Reform have been long-standing supporters of women, against men attempting to take over their space and identity. It’s interesting that out of 100 cards, this one has the words natural and woman in it.

Combining the Four Cards

The female of the species shows up, explicitly, twice in this reading. These are women rising in the United Kingdom. This also fits the broader astrology. When Pluto is in Aquarius, the old male system that was so powerful before (in this case 2008 to 2024) is slowly replaced by equality.

So this is Kemi Badenoch for the Conservative Party? Or is it a number of women, across all the parties, but including Reform, who have long backed the XX sex? All the cards are from my website with permission from U.S. Games Systems for the Smith Waite Tarot. The Guardian edit (below) is from their YouTube channel.

Kemi or the Women of Reform?

Can you see Kemi Badenoch in these cards, in this widely seen clash with Prime Minister Keir Starmer? Or are the cards nodding to the female candidates in Reform, whose leader Nigel Farage has backed ‘natural’ women in their election promise contract?
