World News from the Future Q&A
Thank you for your question, Ana. Richard posted a similar question on my post about Ukraine predictions:
According to the card I drew for this week, the 2 of Swords Reversed, there are no easy choices right now for solving the problem of Putin’s attack on Ukraine. Any choice will result in loss, so decisions regarding defence from aggression will likely be based on deciding which choice is the “lesser of two evils”. Expect to hear that phrase coming up a lot in future news, both in reference to the war and the climate crisis. When this card arises in a question about near-future outcomes, the situation does not offer clear or desirable solutions—at least not for now. In terms of timing, this card relates to the sign Aquarius and connects to the number two, so it could be something to do with future progress made towards finding solutions due to a new and possibly revolutionary social and technological tactic that is implemented over the next two years, particularly when the Sun is in Aquarius and/or when major astrological factors are occurring in the sign of Aquarius. Considering that Saturn is in Aquarius until March 2023 when it moves into Pisces, there could be a lack of technological resources until after Saturn moves out of Aquarius.
However, there is a warning in this card that problems will continue in other ways. In this case, that includes an expansion of the war due to continued aggression that moves into other countries. If these attacks are not met with more pushback from international powers, other regions will be affected within months. As of now, if new tactics aren’t taken, that is the most likely outcome. Expect an escalation of the war. At the same time, this conflict will result in international solidarity that connects us more deeply and prepares us for an even bigger threat, which will be that of the climate emergency. The presence of Saturn in Pisces in 2023 signals two major, concurrent threats: flooding to levels we have never seen before in human history, overlapping with the growth of problematic cults and religious groups that threaten to block progress towards implementing climate solutions. Expect a spiritual and religious revolution soon.
At the same time, this card indicates that U.S. and other military presence will increase worldwide. Additionally, the prison-industrial complex will be challenged even while its presence surges, particularly in the U.S., Russia, and China. Despite these impending conflicts, a rise in humanitarian acts and international solidarity of the majority of humanity as never seen before will arise as a result of these war-related issues. One of the greatest and most important trends over the next five years or so will be a movement to give the land back to Indigenous peoples and to relinquish leadership to Indigenous nations around the world. I see this possibly happening first, or at least most visibly in the media, throughout North and South America. Indigenous leadership is the only way that the planet will be saved for future generations of humanity and in assurance of our continued existence as a species, so the sooner we do this and give the land back to its rightful people, the better.
