In a new-format show set in the colourful exciting virtual tarot-drome, @pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading on the question "What's up with the state of the world lately?"

He finds that the world has oppressive elite ruling powers who subjugate the powerless and cause strife to the hidden majority.

Welcome friends to this new look wordcloud tarot show, direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!

Doesn't it look great!?

Today is Tuesday April the 2nd so for our new season we thought we'd ask the simple question,

What the hell is going on with the state of the world lately?

It's mad innit?

We'll use this, the worldcloud tarot happy toast deck!

Every card has a beautiful drawing from the amazing cartoonist Happy Toast, and also a world-cloud with the meaning of each card written directly onto the card itself.

No need to memorize the meanings, to read the tarot, you can just read.

That makes these readings very transparent, you can see that the cards do mean what we say they mean.

This week we'll do a five-card cross, so let's see what the cards say!

Past - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen

The first card represents History and that card is: The queen of pentacles.

A queen, from the ruling elite.

The world's wealthy prosperous royalty, or rich powerful private money.

The world they have built seems useful and dependable and versatile and reliable.

It seems protective and secure.

And it is. For them.

It helps /them/ flourish .

But the ecosystem is breaking, there's environmental doom, the workers are revolting.

Because this is a sexist, misogynistic patriarchy that constantly requires regimental enforcement, threatening everyone.

This sophisticated surveillance state is out of control!

Hidden Influence - 5 Of Wands, Strife

For the "Hidden" slot, we have the five of wands: Strife.

The suffering and stress that the ruling elites cause isn't really all that hidden.

You can see it on TV, you can see it in your own home.

The inequality causes tension and unrest, struggle and hostility.

You can see trepidation animosity and turmoil everywhere, constant quarrels and distrust and discomfort .

The pressure and disquiet build until there's a disturbance, a disruption leading to protests and riots.

There's conflict and battles, an uprising that could lead to flighting, maybe a civil war.

Those concentrations of wealth and power cause tense emotional issues, and the controversy and discontent must end in dispute, combat and fighting.

External Influence - 6 Of Wands, Victory

The card for External slot is - 6 Of Wands, Victory

External observers may well think that the rulers have complete victory

Their ongoing success and the continuing acceptance of their influence ( despite widespread recognition of their notoriety ) shows they have achieved their goal .

They have attained and accomplished ultimate glory. They have innovated into winning a momentous prize.

Their will and objectives are bought to fruition.

From outside it seems the powers of private money have won.

They are scoring the future .

Present - 6 Of Swords, Science

The card for Present is - 6 Of Swords, Science

Things are changing this is a time of transition and new thinking when new ideology and philosophy can arise.

An amalgamation of concepts can bring us an innovation and bring peace, a clarity of mind

A clear new ethic from science and rational reasoning a transformation of intellect towards equanimity

New research, and evidence based systems, can help discover and understand the hidden strife and oppression and so bring transparency and wisdom to the conflict .

We can make a fairer more balanced system, and this present moment, now, is when we decide.

Outcome - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor

The card for Outcome is - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor

A new structure, some new constitutional government A new world order, with duty and accountability , based on objectivity rationality impartiality and empiricism

We can have the ambition to establish a new honest decent system with equality, solidity civility and fairness at it's heart.

Only that can give stability .

Only morality and merit and integrity.

Because oppression only leads to discontent and violence.

Summary

The current system of powerful rich oligarchs may look just, but they rule through guns and bombs. There's hidden oppression everywhere, suffering and injustice and genocide.

Externally it looks like the powerful have victory, but now we have the tools of science which we can use to understand the patriarchy's oppression, and the strife and suffering it causes, and bring about instead a new world order based on equity and solidarity and honest fairness.

Oppression is not stable, it leads to more revolutions, we can only have stability through equity and solidarity, not through oppression and violence and bombs.
