I will revisit this after the election to see if my "gut" was correct.

Same here but I do wish things can get better in the US but I have a feeling Obama will win too... :/ (If I had to pick I'm independent, not for anyone).

I did a reading some weeks ago, but have not posted it. Although in my opinion they were clearly saying Obama was the winner. When I have a chance, I'll post it, so you guys can comment on it. Blessings,

Rider Waite - no reversals

Three card spread - I read the cards starting from the centre and then how the outside cards influence it. So I see the candidate as the centre card and the outside cards being the major sources of influence, being the American public

Obama - Star / Two of Wands / Page of Cups
Base: 8 of Pentacles

I have seen Two of Wands described as 'holding the world in your hands' which is apt considering the President of the USA is the most powerful person in the free world. I think the Star card is the Tarot winking at me because it embodies hope and that is very much an Obama 'keyword'. I think this means that the hope continues and people will again become inspired by his vision and Page of Cups suggests a return of popularity and 'love' felt from the public. Eight of Pentacles simply says to me 'the work continues'.

Romney - 7 of Cups / 9 of Wands / Chariot
Base: 7 of Pentacles

It's definitely a different energy here. With the Nine of Wands I see Romney on the backfoot, in a position where he's defending himself, paranoid and expecting the worse. Sevens tend to be quite solitary so with 7 of Cups so firstly the public will focus primarily on Romney (and not his running mate, Ryan) and I think the public will lack focus with Romney and they won't see alot of substance. The 7 of Cups also is very much about thinking and wondering and imagining but very little to do with acting and making anything concrete. So I see the public certainly considering Romney but not really seeing anything they want to act on and support. What is interesting about the Chariot is that it gives me the sense that the public will win out over him and have some sort of victory over him and run roughshod over him. In short, the public will not follow him but more likely will overpower him, hence why he is on the defensive there in the 9. This makes me think that not only will Romney lose, but he may find himself at the conclusion of the election not being very liked at all. The 7 of Pentacles is like he will be left wondering 'what if'.

I just wonder now if 7 of Cups for Romney represented Republicans being completely unrealistic about the polls

Chariot could represent how Romney was absolutely adamant he would win (he didn't write a concession speech) and he had his new 'President' website uploaded ready to go! 7 of Pentacles could be how the Republicans have been left wondering what the hell went wrong? LOL
