WHO LEAKED THE 70TH BIRTHDAY PHOTOS? TAROT READING – NOVEMBER 14TH AND 16TH, 2018

Due to requests, just did a quick spread on who leaked the photos above. Some of my followers think it’s Meghan, I don’t think it is but we shall see what the cards have to say. 

“Who released the Prince of Wales’s 70th birthday family portrait early than they were suppose to?

  • (Wheel of Fortune Rx – fell out deck)
  • (4 of Swords Rx; 7 of Wands; 3 of Cups; 3 of Pentacles Rx; 6 of Swords Rx; Hermit Rx; Emperor; 5 of Pentacles Rx; 10 of Cups Rx; 7 of Cups Rx)
  • 4 of Wands/Empress Rx – Top of the Deck)
  • (Star/World – Bottom of the Deck)

I think this was a matter of a mistake someone in the press made

The media got so relentless and crazy over those freaking pictures (Seven of Wands/Star/World) and kind of acted out of term when they weren’t suppose to (Four of Swords Rx/Wheel Rx). 

It became sort of a competition (Seven of Wands/Three of Pentacles Rx) with the media on who out of all their colleagues would get first dibs (Three of Cups). They felt this was a big moment to report on, considering they usually don’t get these kind of pictures and access from Charles (Seven of Wands/Four of Swords Rx/Emperor/World/Star). 

There was also a lot going on with all of Charles’s birthday celebrations (Three of Cus/Emperor/Seven of Wands), that it wasn’t really specifically on Charles’s team’s mind at that moment. 

The person who did this felt really really bad after they did it though (Hermit Rx). It caused them a lot of conflict and worry/stress with their job and the access they have to the RF now (Ten of Cups Rx/Six of Swords Rx). 

They really rocked the boat when they did it (Six of Swords Rx) and they are trying to learn from their mistakes (Five of Pentacles Rx) and realize what they did wrong (Seven of Cups Rx). Poor intern. 

They are reflecting on the situation (Seven of Cups Rx/Hermit Rx) and are trying to make it better (World/Star/Five of Pentacles Rx), but they still feel really bad about them-self unfortunately because of it (Hermit Rx).

The Queen in particular was not happy with these leaks (Empress Rx/Four of Wands). She felt this was a little messy and didn’t align with her strict and orderly rules of protocol regarding these type of things (Emperor/Ten of Cups Rx).

I think at the end of the day, the RF saw this and moved on (Seven of Cups Rx), and went out to focus on Charles’s birthday and celebrating it, like they should have (Three of Cups/World/Star/Four of Wands/Seven of Cups Rx/Five of Pentacles Rx).

“What was Meghan Markle’s involvement with these pictures leaking?”

  • (Star Rx, Six of Cups, Three of Pentacles Rx, Ten of Cups Rx, Three of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, Heirophant Rx, King of Swords Rx, Five of Cups, Seven of Pentacles)
  • Knight of Wands (Meghan), Six of Swords Rx, and Nine of Swords Rx – Bottom of the Deck
  • Fool, Two of Wands Rx – Top of the Deck

Like I said before, I don’t think Meghan had anything to do with these particular leaks (Nine of Swords Rx/Six of Swords Rx/Star Rx/Three of Swords).

She is definitely being restricted in what she can do (Six of Cups) and feels sort of hopeless/depressed right now, majorly depressed (Nine of Swords Rx/Star Rx/Five of Cups).

She didn’t have the motivation to leak these particular pictures (Three of Pentacles Rx). I think this was press messing up and rushing to the guns to have that credit of releasing it first (KOS Rx).

Her relationship with the family is pretty strained right now (Ten of Cups Rx/Heirophant Rx) and she wasn’t close enough/working with them enough to be able to do that (Three of Pentacles Rx). Because her relationship with the family is garbage, she was scared to even try that (Six of Swords Rx/Nine of Swords Rx), knowing it was against the rules (Heirophant Rx).

She wants things to go back to the way they were (Six of Cups) when she was allowed to work and be in meetings with them and such (Three of Pentacles Rx) and wasn’t isolated from the family and included (Ten of Cups Rx/Three of Swords).

I think Meghan was very rejected and lonely when these pictures were taken and still is (Three of Swords) and I think there was some sort of argument that took place (King of Swords Rx) that made her odds of leaking it even worse. I think Charles or Philip put their foot down and was like “no”, and made sure she wouldn’t be able to leak it (KOS Rx).

Meghan was sad about not being able to give the exclusive to her fave reporters as usual (Five of Cups) and literally cried that she wasn’t being included and treated like the “welcomed new family member” she was previously (Three of Swords/Star Rx/Wheel).

Now that I think of it I think 3 people told her no or there was three people watching her and ready to reprimand her if she did (Three of Pentacles Rx/Three of Swords).

Meghan felt down and that sad that she didn’t get what she expected with the pictures and of her leaking them (Five of Cups/Nine of Swords Rx/Three of Swords). Guess she didn’t like the three Cambridge’s kids emphasis in the press, rather than her (Three of Swords/Six of Cups).

She’s trying to get back in the good graces and win that type of importance in photos like that again (Seven of Pentacles/Fool) but will it work? Probably not (Nine of Swords Rx/Six of Swords Rx/Two of Wands Rx).

I keep seeing this, it is an illusion (Seven of Cups) that they get along and are working together as a team (Ace of Swords), communicating well and getting things done as “The Windsors”, but really they aren’t (Four of Wands Rx/Ten of Cups Rx) and Meghan and Harry are in and will be in Siberia from now on (Hermit Rx). H&M have no allies really left in this one besides the required (Six of Swords Rx) and are very anxious/worried/stressed right now (Nine of Swords Rx). They don’t have a good relationship with the family anymore and their relationship itself is heading for trouble as well (Six of Swords Rx/Knight of Wands/Nine of Swords Rx).

Hope you enjoyed this reading. See ya soon. And a happy birthday to Prince Charles as well. – TT

New stone tools analysis challenges theories of human evolution in East Asia

archaeologicalnews:

A new study of stone tools from a cave site in China shows that sophisticated “Levallois” tool-making techniques were present in East Asia at a much earlier date than previously thought.

The findings challenge the existing model of the origin and spread of these techniques in East Asia, with implications for theories of the dispersal of modern humans around the world.

The study, by researchers from the University of Wollongong (UOW), University of Washington, Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and China’s Bureau of Cultural Relics Protection, is published online in Nature on 19 November.

Examples of Levallois technology (named after a Paris suburb where tools made with this method were discovered) have been found in Africa and Europe dating back to around 300,000 years ago. Before now, the earliest examples of Levallois techniques in East Asia were dated to 40,000 – 30,000 years ago; the new study places them there as far back as 170,000 years ago. Read more.

How We Got to Now for Younger Readers

How We Got To Now Kids

After hearing that the PBS series based on his bestselling book, How We Got to Now, was being watched by grade schoolers at home and in school, Steven Johnson has adapted the book into a version for young readers.

His fascinating account is organized into six topics: glass, cold, sound, clean, time, light. Johnson’s fresh exploration of these simple, single-syllable word concepts creates an endlessly absorbing story that moves from lightning strikes in the prehistoric desert to the herculean effort to literally raise up the city of Chicago to laser labs straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Totally getting this for my kids for Christmas. (Kids, if you’re reading this, act surprised, ok?)

Royals and the loss of money I’ve heard the same. They live beyond their means there estates are so big and so expensive to look after that there actually losing money. The dutchies are not making enough money to support them all. Rumors that there selling property to cover there costs. All is not what it seems with the Royals.

talkingtarot:

I don’t think they were really LOSING money but the Diana thing gave them a bit of a hit and then Kate came and helped a lot but then Meghan came and now it’s back falling again.

Charles is rumored to be a billionaire due to how well his finances have been since he divorced Diana more than 20 years ago. 

Seems you’re right about her not taking seriously the health of the baby. It’s November in London, a rainy and cold day. She shows up in a sleeveless, halter top. Pregnant women are so careful not to catch a cold or be hit suddenly by a cold wind and there she is. Not even gonna comment on how unflattering and tacky the look is or not brushing her hair, standard Meg.

talkingtarot:

Yep. They both are making irresponsible choices regarding this pregnancy.

I’ve never seen Charles happier than with his grandchildren.

duchessofostergotlands:

He really does seem to have a lovely relationship with them. It’s nice to be able to put all the drama to bed and realise that he loves them and they love him. They feel very comfortable around him. Chris Jackson said George chose to go on his lap and the way Louis reached out for him and felt comfortable being close to him. You can’t fake that with children

MEGHAN MARKLE’S TAX SITUATION TAROT READING – NOVEMBER 18TH, 2018

There’s been some articles floating around for some time now about Meghan’s taxes and possible mess regarding them so I want to see what’s happening with them right now and what the future may hold regarding them. Send in feedback, requests, and your opinion on this reading as always to my ask. See ya soon. – TT

“What’s going on with Meghan’s taxes right now?”

  • (Star Rx; Two of Pentacles Rx; Eight of Cups Rx; Ace of Pentacles Rx; Lovers; Ten of Cups Rx; Three of Swords; Page of Swords Rx; Ten of Wands Rx; Six of Wands Rx)

Meghan’s finances are really all over the place (Two of Pentacles Rx) and a mess right now.

She went into this marriage (Lovers) with no plan (Two of Pentacles Rx) (are we shocked about that though) and expected to reimbursed with money/endorsement deals and thought her marriage was gonna be a better start/investment for her on the money front, but that turned out to be wrong (Ace of Pentacles Rx). She thought she could handle it all and make it work because Harry was gonna help her out a lot and these type of things would already be taken care of (Lovers/Two of Pentacles Rx) but she can’t really handle it.

She expected to be the star (Star Rx) and had a lot of hope and faith that this relationship would cover everything and took a leap of faith that this would work out with Harry (Star Rx/Lovers) and it’s like her dreams and wishes for that are falling apart (Star Rx). For some odd reason she really did feel like it was the right time to marry Harry and vice-versa (Lovers) which is crazy since they are suffering all the repercussions of being so hasty like that (Page of Swords Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).

She definitely has some contract(s) for money, probably secret endorsement deals or something like that to help make her some money (Ace of Pentacles Rx/Lovers). I’d say with an air sign person most likely (Lovers/Star Rx).

Her relationship as expected with the RF is rocky because of this mess (Ten of Cups Rx). They don’t like how she can’t stay in budget and stick with the plan (Two of Pentacles Rx) and how reckless she spends money. They also don’t like how much mess that have to clean up and deal with financially in the first place (Two of Pentacles Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Meghan’s becoming more and more isolated and disconnected from the family because of all the drama she brings (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Her relationship is getting worse and worse with the family (Ten of Cups Rx).

It’s weird you guys.

She doesn’t like losing money (Ace of Pentacles Rx) because having to be on budget and wear more cheaper brands is making her feel more insecure (Star Rx). She feels like being attached to luxury brands (Lovers) and spending all that money gives her a star-like quality or power she craves and by doing this she is losing her fame/star-power (Star Rx). Like she craves spending all the much to feel like she belongs and she fits in (Lovers), like she’s the star and it makes her feel confident in her role as a duchess which she otherwise wouldn’t have (Star Rx).

She’s losing faith that this will work out for her (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). She really wants to leave and just drop everything and have a new start but she literally can’t go anywhere (Eight of Cups Rx). Like she’s stuck with nowhere to turn.

She knows it’s the best option to walk away and drop it all and leave this sitution but she can’t go anywhere even though she wants to (Eight of Cups Rx) and it’s stressing her all the way out (Page of Swords Rx). The family is also losing faith that she will fix her inappropriate behavior and get back in line (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).

She’s literally crying and up at night, pacing trying to figure how to deal with it (Page of Swords Rx/Three of Swords). She’s so hurt and feels like she’s losing the battle (Six of Wands Rx/Three of Swords/Star Rx).

I think Harry might have been in her ear (pre-wedding) and told her he would support her and take care of her (Lovers) and they would handle it together sort of thing (Two of Pentacles Rx) and that turned out sour and didn’t happen the way it was said to her before (Star Rx/Page of Swords Rx).

Harry and Meghan are having lots of arguments about it (Ten of Cups Rx/Page of Swords Rx). She feels hurt and lied to by Harry (Page of Swords Rx) because he told her all these things that everything would be alright and got her hopes up just for things to end up not panning out that way (Page of Swords Rx/Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Harry feels like she’s putting material goals over the family and the pregnancy and doesn’t like that (Two of Pentacles Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).

She doesn’t like the fact that she’s being sat down and forced to deal with everything (Three of Swords).

What’s also getting to Meghan is the fact that the press is being so ruthless and all up in her business about it and there’s nothing she can do about it (Page of Swords Rx/Three of Swords/Eight of Cups Rx). Meghan’s anxious about what might possibly get revealed about her money situation due to how the press is about her life (Page of Swords Rx) and is also worried about how the family will react (Ten of Cups Rx).

She’s holding this heavy burden trying to fix these issues and wants this to pass and go away (Ten of Wands Rx). Meghan’s trying to convince herslef she can fight it but is losing hope that she can and is ready to give up (Ten of Wands Rx).

More bad articles to come out surrounding it though (Six of Wands Rx) but I don’t think it will stick for very long regarding press. Regarding finances short and long term, this will have an effect though.

She’s going to feel more insecure as a result of this and probably lose some battles and win some legally (Six of Wands Rx). Reality of the situation will start to hit soon (Six of Wands Rx).

Don’t know if she comes out all the way victorious in the end and I’mma stick to that (Six of Wands Rx).

  • (Three of Wands Rx, Page of Wands Rx, Ace of Wands Rx)

I really see her being restricted, at least until the baby comes (Three of Wands Rx/Page of Wands Rx/Ace of Wands Rx). I think Meghan had some plans to travel and maybe even go on another tour before she gave birth but I don’t see that happening (Page of Wands Rx). Or at least plans are being re-considered right now if so.

It’s almost as if the lawyers and RF aides told her, “until this mess is sorted out, you ain’t going nowhere honey”. I know I’m making a joke out of it but I’m being serious. It’s like she’s been put on lockdown from going anywhere outside of the UK until this mess is cleared up (Page of Wands Rx/Three of Wands Rx – the travel and adventure cards). They have to be really strategic about where she travels now because it might bring them more financial issues/risks (Ace of Wands Rx).

  • (Ace of Swords Rx, Five of Swords Rx, Ten of Pentacles)
  • (Eight of Wands Rx, Four of Swords Rx,
  • (Page of Cups, Queen of Wands Rx (Meghan), Wheel of Fortune)

The RF lawyers are trying to work out negotiations and peace settlements and work with the tax agency to fix these issues (Five of Swords Rx/Ten of Pentacles). But the RF is still holding resentment and hostility to her about the mess she created (Ace of Swords Rx/Five of Swords Rx).

There’s a lot that’s just unknown about her financial sitution and a lot of loopholes I’m guessing the lawyers didn’t expect to be sealed or opened, whichever one (Ace of Swords Rx). The IRS doesn’t really know much about the RF’s finances and this is a way they can possibly find out hidden corrupt money behavior which is why the RF are putting her on lockdown (Five of Swords Rx/Ace of Swords Rx). They want their finances to be as private as they always have been. The RF have also sent a warning to Meghan that if this continues to happen, there will be repercussions (Ace of Swords Rx/Five of Swords Rx/Ten of Pentacles).

Things are gonna get so messy and crazy (Eight of Wands Rx) that it’s gonna take a while for Meghan to come up with the money and earn profit back again (Page of Pentacles/Four of Swords Rx). Meghan has LOTS AND LOTS of unfinished business whether that’s endorsement deals or just contracts that she made probably with things like house loans and such that are making it harder for her to relax and not worry about how she is going to gain more money after being restricted due to the IRS peeping on them (Eight of Wands Rx/Four of Swords Rx/Page of Pentacles).

A 3rd party will probably have to intervene to provide some stability (Eight of Wands Rx/Page of Pentacles).

Meghan’s hoping this pregnancy will get them off her back (Page of Cups/Wheel). Again, hormones are making her a douchebag (QOW Rx) so the quicker this goes away the stabler Meghan will be.

She’s gonna get very demanding with the lawyers, sort of shouting at them like, “isn’t this your job, why haven’t you’ve been able to fix it” (QOW Rx/Page of Cups).

She’s hoping because she’s pregnant (Page of Cups) that they’ll (the press) be nicer to her and things will turn around into more postive coverage (Wheel).

  • (Knight of Pentacles Rx, Four of Cups Rx, Chariot Rx, Two of Wands Rx, Fool, Six of Cups)

Harry (KnoP Rx), is tired of also having to wait and be stuck all the time. He’s ready to go out and be active and do stuff (Four of Cups Rx). He’s tired of being held back and having all these restrictions and problems all the time (Chariot Rx/Two of Wands Rx). Harry gets depressed when he has to deal with all this mess and each scandal just adds more and more weight to his shoulders and brings him into a more deeper depression (Chariot Rx). He wants things to go back to old times, same as Meghan (Six of Cups), back in the summer where he could do whatever and wasn’t so restricted and controlled (Fool). He also wants things more focused on the pregnancy and not Meghan’s personal problems (Six of Cups/Fool).

Well maybe you should have thought about that before you guys got married so quickly, but what do I know..

  • (Hermit Rx, Six of Pentacles Rx, Seven of Swords Rx)

I think she will get away with a lot of stuff still (Seven of Swords Rx). Like I mentioned before some wins and some losses (Six of Pentacles Rx). Seems like some money scam is done (Six of Pentacles Rx) that gets her out of too deep of hot water (Seven of Swords Rx). She will still get caught with something though (Seven of Swords Rx) and this process will cause her to have to come clean about the stuff she did and put everything on the table that she didn’t beforehand (Seven of Swords Rx). They’ll still end up not satisfied in the end because they’ll be in some sort of debt (Six of Pentacles Rx) and will have a hard time earning that monry they lost back (Hermit Rx). It’s almost like Harry holds out his hand gives the money and is just like “leave us alone now” (Hermit Rx/Six of Pentacles Rx).

That’s what I got for this reading. Hope you enjoyed. See ya soon. – TT

“Ever since Meghan has been brought in to the family i’ve noticed that Kate’s confidence has gone through the roof. She carries herself differently, with poise and elegance. She’s now taking on a more senior royal role, and I can already tell that she’s on the path to make a great Queen in the future.” – Submitted by Anonymous

Dressed like she grabbed a 60% off special off the rack from last season’s selection of Mother of the Bride dresses, for the Captain’s Dinner on a Carnival cruise ship.

Fucking excruciating.

Wow. Is she trying to do some sort of penance with this outfit??

get to know me meme >> Favorite Movies [3/?] Wonder Woman

I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then, I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light and learned that inside every one of them there will always be both. A choice each must make for themselves. Something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know that only love can truly save the world. So, I stay. I fight, and I give… for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever. 

Americans in England don’t have to pay American tax if they are paying English tax. As long as Meghan is paying tax in England, the story about the Americans being after tax money from her is nonsense. It’s interesting the DM published this story though. I wonder when they’ll stop messing around and publish something really damaging? It’s only been it’s here and there – Megsy wanting a tiara, being mean to staff, now the tax thing. I want something big and dramatic lmao this is annoying.

talkingtarot:

I know right. Stop playing with us Daily Mail..we want the bombshell! Lmao. But I do find it interesting there seems to be a negative story about her every other day now which is crazy. The tides are turning, folks.

Generally, Americans always have to file their taxes with the IRS as long as they are citizens. It doesn’t matter if you’re paying taxes to another country such as the UK.

newyorker:

Perhaps as few as eighty thousand forest elephants remain in the Central African Republic. The story of these declining numbers is also a story of habitat destruction. Where forest elephants exist in an undisturbed state, they build networks of trails through the deep forest. These trails connect mineral deposits, fruit groves, and other essentials of forest-elephant life. In Central Africa, there are dozens of fruit trees whose seeds are too large to pass through the guts of any other animal and for which forest elephants have evolved as the sole dispersers. These trees line the forest-elephant paths. Where elephant populations are disturbed, the paths disappear.
