Daniel James O'Keefe

Daniel James O'Keefe went missing in Australia on July 15 of 2011. To the left are four pictures of how he looked at different times during his adult life. I was asked to do a reading for him, so I will see what I can find out. Asking "What happened to James and where is he?", I got this: the Hierophant crossed by the six of swords...this speaks of a person or situation involving unorthodox lifestyles and actions, and the six of swords here is merely a long journey. The message is that there was generally an aura of unorthodoxy involved in this young man's life. He was not one to bow to tradition, and occasionally too chances and risks that others would not have taken. Beneath this, we have the two of wands, which is the planning stage of his last undertaking. While he may have been alone when he disappeared, there was somehow room for at least one more person.

Behind this, we get the three of pentacles, reversed. This is a bad card to see if the question is about craftsmanship, and I am surprised to see it here, since the reading is not about how James earned a living. And....it is immediately followed by the eight of pentacles, reversed, another "tradesman" card! That card is the card of the apprentice, and when it falls reversed, it tells of someone who is unskilled or untalented at the lower levels of the chosen field. So this aspect very obviously plays a role. The next card we have is the Sun, reversed. I think that is a message of a voided contract in connection to matters professional in James's life....and perhaps some anger as a result! It can also mean a voided engagement, but the message so far has been about business, rather than romance.

The moon, reversed, falls in the place of fears. This is deception and bad timing. It is followed by the Chariot, reversed, in the place of environment. This has to do with a collapse of a project, often due to polar opposites unable to meet in the middle and work together. That card is reiterated by the two of pentacles, reversed, which tells of inability to manage two situations at once.....but sometimes this card refers to communication, such as cell phones or emails. I think authorities need to take a closer look at each and every phone number that appears in James's cell phone logs immeidately prior to his disappearance, and at the senders and recipients of all emails going to and from his email addresses.

The reading ends with the nine of cups. This is a card of material well-being. I must wonder if there were any insurance policies out on James......Look to someone who has a comfortable amount of security and resources for answers.

What Will It Take To Straighten Out The Confusion With Kyron Horman's Kidnapping?

In light of the reading I did on September 5, I asked Tarot another question about the Kyron Horman case. I wanted to know how all of this confusion associated with the case can be straightened out, in order to give law enforcement a proper direction to find Kyron.

In a Celtic Cross, we have the seven of wands crossed by the Lovers. Whoever was initially responsible for Kyron's disappearance is faced with a choice, possibly linked to romance, and will favor just keeping the media and others at bay as long as possible. Underneath this, we have the nine of swords, indicating worry. Then, in the recent past, the nine of pentacles reversed appears, telling me that this person's financial security is not strong right now. Moving along to possible choices or outcomes, I have the Chariot. This person would like to find a way to make the two realities, past mistakes and current coverups, work together to create a way to keep evading the truth. But in the near future, the page of pentacles appears, reversed. This could mean that an event out of this person's control is about to happen, involving a child or an adolescent, or a school. It could also mean that this person is not willing, in any way, to cooperate with law enforcement about Kyron.

The staff begins with the four of swords in the place of the emotional and physical state of the situation.......basically, things are "at rest". In the "enivironment" involving other people, we have the five of pentacles reversed. It would appear that the situation has received some new resources from somewhere, or the perpetrator has gotton some sort of charity. Perhaps both. In the place of hopes, we have the nine of cups, reversed. This is a hope for this whole mess to somehow come to an end....not an unpleasent end, but an end. As a final outcome, the four of cups, reversed, shows up. Rightside up, it represents lack of gratitude and appreciation. Upside down, it can mean a new relationship or opportunity, and looking harder at the reversed five of pentacles........that's another interpretation for that card. It's possible that the perpetrator has found a new romantic relationship.

One more interesting note is that three nines came up. I feel that this means that in mind of the person who took Kyron, this is not completely over. But, the reversals of the none of pentacles and the nine of cups indicate that no opportunity will pan out as long as this matter is not resolved.

Kyron is also nine years old today. Happy Birthday, Kyron! Come home!
