Psychic Reading on the 44th President of the United States: Barack Obama

Earlier this week, I watched the inauguration ceremony of the 44th president of the United States while discussing ideas about Barack Obama with members of the psychic discussion forum on my website.

Regardless of your own personal political views, you might be curious to know what critics and supporters of Barack Obama say about him on the internet. You can easily find a wide array of websites that portray him as a modern messiah, and equal numbers of websites passionately oppose the apparent seduction of the world and believe that Barack Obama is the Antichrist. On the popular video directory, YouTube, you can find videos called Obama - The Lottery and 666 and Is OBAMA the ANTICHRIST? - 12 of 19 characteristics are met! which clearly illustrate some beliefs about the newest president of the USA. The first of these videos suggests that God has proclaimed Barack Obama is the Antichrist and that he warns us through lottery numbers that the full measure of His judgement will come. When you analyze the winning numbers of the Illinois lottery, Obama's home state, the day after his victory in the presidential election you cannot ignore the potential prophetic message they could be expressing.

By interpreting the numerological influences and revelations surrounding Barack Obama, his surprisingly fast rise to power, his victorious presidential campaign and his inauguration in the beginning of 2009, we see that this is no ordinary president at all. Never before have so many powerful influences, elemental powers, and differences of opinion converged on a single vision of the future, let alone the political power of a new kind of American leader on the global stage. The YouTube video about Barack Obama featuring countless celebrities and famous public figures who pledge their hours of passionate, willing service to the improvement of America is by far the most disturbing portrayal of this new president--in my humble psychic opinion. While I can see how the citizens of the United States of America would be excited about raising awareness of autism and mental illnesses, committing themselves to volunteer projects in their communities, and working together to abolish twentieth century slavery and create the idyllic future for us all, I cannot lend any of my mental or spiritual support to the new president of the USA.

A fellow psychic reader I respect, Miranda Tempest, predicts that Barack Obama's economic stimulus plans will fail and that changes he makes to international abortion policies will have a detrimental effect on babies. Miranda leads lively discussions and friendly debates in The Psychic Garden online community for psychic readers and paranormal enthusiasts, and she is one of the top contributing members of the forum.

I feel we all need to know what the future will look like for America as a nation under the leadership of Barack Obama. What will happen in the coming four years of his term in the most powerful government office in the world today? To find the answer to my most pressing questions about the new president, I decided to do a Tarot reading.

"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on." ~ Winston Churchill

I decided to read Barack Obama and his influence on global affairs. I was informed about the opposing beliefs people express about this most unique American president of all time, but I must admit that I have always felt a strong negative energy surrounding Barack Obama. The idea of this radical young man leading the most powerful government in the world does not sit well with me, and I felt I needed to explore the doubts and questions that come to mind when I hear his name or listen to him speak. To me, something has always felt off with Barack Obama and I am concerned to see millions of people around the world apparently spellbound by his charisma and turning him into an icon before he even took office in January, 2009.

I felt a very strong resistance as soon as I began my clairvoyant Tarot reading on Barack Obama. I visualized the new president of the United States and laid out 13 cards to explore the questions that have been weighing on my mind. The card in the center of the Expanded Celtic Cross Tarot layout I use revealed that we are facing a choice that is difficult to make. As we watch Barack Obama and think about what he says and stands for, we must ask ourselves what we believe is true about him. Who is this man and what do we think he will accomplish?

I see that Obama appeals to the hopes and dreams of so many people world wide, yet he does not always clearly express what his intentions are and does say things that are so out of place and concerning to me that I feel anxiety regarding him and the effects of his presidency on our world. Along with the positive and idealistic things he says, Obama promises real change in the economic crisis felt by families across America and around the world. However, the Tarot cards I spread out to answer these questions about his true nature included a lot of pentacles; a sign of a great deal of financial and economic forces impacting everyone.

Perhaps the most powerful influences seen in my psychic Tarot card reading were the XVIII The Moon and 0 The Fool. The foundation of this situation is The Moon: a potent warning that things aren't what they appear to be. The Moon warns us all to beware of secret plans and agendas being worked behind the scenes. The Fool comes up as the overall energy of Barack Obama and his presidency, and the Queen of Wands is the primary influence on the president. This tells us that he believes he has seen and been transformed by the truth. He feels a powerful conviction and promises to lead the American people to a position of glory, success and greatness. I can see that he will be too rigid when things do not go his way, and he will make decisions that appear to be lacking or devoid of emotional influences and appropriate sensitivity. I feel Barack Obama will have a tendency to ignore the political advice, opinions, and years of experience of the members of his own government, as well as international governments and committees.

While my psychic reading did not identify Barack Obama as a messiah or the Antichrist, it did show me that his intention is to use the personal affection and blasphemous worship of some of his supporters to usher in a new age for the United States of America and the entire world. The mistakes Barack Obama will make during his years as the president will have far reaching implications and consequences that will be felt for quite a long time. I predict very troubled economic times ahead for the whole world, as well as widespread breakdowns in family structures and moral values across America. The divorce rate and rate of unemployment will both soar during the years of Obama's presidency, but people will be reluctant to point fingers or assign blame to him for a very long time. People around the world will use Barack Obama as a blank slate to inscribe their hopes and aspirations for the future upon, but they are placing too much power on one single world leader. I see visions of terrible hardship for all Americans. There will be an increase of violent conflicts around the world and war will be the prevailing headline on the evening news broadcasts. My reading did not confirm or deny him as the Antichrist, as some believers say has been proclaimed by God Almighty through the winning numbers of a lottery, but my visions reveal Barack Obama is not the miracle worker many Americans believed they were voting for in November, 2008.
