The Tarot's perspective on crime mysteries and missing persons cases. Feel free to join the discussion! It's always wonderful to see these cases solved.
There has been some speculation, on social media sites, about the Kyron Horman case, specifically concerning new associations of witnesses and suspects, and what they may know, or what they may have been told about the case, after the fact. Kyron disappeared from his Portland, Oregon school in June of 2010 and has not been seen since then.The main suspect has always been the former stepmother, who has since moved out of the area.I decided to put this question to the Tarot, and this is the answer that I got.
The first house gives us the seven of cups, indicating deception. Someone who has had exposure to case via the main suspect, the stepmother, has either believed untrue stories about it or has deliberately perpetrated them. To understand why this person has done this, we just go to the next card, in the second house of things that are valued by the person, and we get the ten of pentacles.....so there has been a material payout by allowing the truth to be buried. The Magician comes up in the third house, of family members and communication, so we can assume that this person has a certain amount of access to information, if he chooses to ask. And it IS a "he", as indicated by the Knight of Wands appearing in the fourth house, of home and environment!
The fifth house, which deals with children and creativity, yields the Hanged Man, reversed. This card is a card of sacrifice for the betterment of the community when upright, but reversed, it indicates selfishness and an unwillingness to help. The sixth house, of mundane enemies and inconveniences, shows the four of swords, telling us that something that was buried, or dormant, is about to be discussed openly again, possibly in the news. In the seventh house, of partnerships and often, marriage, we have the Tower, reversed. Reversed or upright, this card is a card of disruption and change. As it has fallen in the seventh house, we can assume that it has to do with a partnership of some sort. In reversal, this card often negative encounters with the judicial system.
In the eighth house, which reveals the products of the partnership of the seventh house, we see the Fool. This is a risk or a chance this person has taken. He took this risk knowingly, too. The ninth house, of ideals and educational goals, gives us the Queen of Cups, reversed. Upside right, this queen is a sensitive and caring woman, but upside down, she is a dishonest and immoral person. The tenth house, dealing with public life, reputation, and involvement with government, yields the three of cups, reversed. There has been too much of a good thing; success turns to ashes. The eleventh house, which rules organizations and casual associations, gives us the Page of Swords, reversed. This page is often a spy or snitch when he comes up reversed. The last card, the twelfth house card, is the eight of cups, reversed. This shows a process from the first card, the seven of cups upright, and the unwillingness to recognize truth to the celebration of the eight of cups, in spite of the truth. It appears that as long as there is a tangible payoff to leaving the facts buried, there will be no change brought on without a rude awakening.
The question of David Anthony Durham, formerly of Sauvie Island, Oregon, came up earlier this week in some online discussions about Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland on June 4 of 2010. Durham began acting erratically, according to friends, in June of the same year, and six months or so later, got pulled over by a Lincoln City, Oregon police officer for speeding. Instead of simply signing the ticket and returning home, Durham shot the police officer and fled. Luckily, the police officer recovered, but Durham has not been seen since, and is wanted by the FBI. There have been questions, over the years, concerning whether or not Durham was involved, in any way, with Kyron's disappearance. The Tarot may be able to shed some light on this.
This is a Celtic Cross reading, because there is really just one clear answer we seek, here. We begin with the nine of wands, upside right, crossed by the five of wands, which is also read upside right. This gives a message of patience and waiting for the smoke to clear, and for the truth to come out. So far, it looks as if Durham was waiting, along with the rest of us, for Kyron to be found. Beneath this, we have the seven of swords, reversed, describing some instruction, or communication concerning Kyron's case. Perhaps Durham printed flyers with Kyron's information or handed out a few. It could also denote a plan, of some sort, with a suspect, but lets not be hasty. Moving along to another past factor, we find the five of pentacles, also reversed. This is a payment for something. We would hope that it had nothing to do with Kyron, but if it did, it could have been something as small as paying for printing flyers. Durham did do some work for a printer, at that point. We would hope it wasn't anything more.
The next card is the King of Cups, reversed. This is a violent, dishonest man who appears calm at first glance. This seems to describe Durham very well, given his crimes. Then, we find the High Priestess, telling us a little more about this unusual case. The High Priestess is a card of secrets and mystery, and it seems that some bit of secret information, perhaps that Durham did not initially want, played a role in the events that led to his erratic behavior. Did someone stop in and pick up flyers from him, and tell him some inside information about Kyron's case that he initially did not want? Could he have been friends with a suspect or an accomplice, and did that person either attempt, or succeed, in involving him?
At the base of the staff, we get the four of swords. This is not a card of death, but of rest. If I were to venture a guess based on this reading, I would say that Durham is alive at this writing. Based on the next card, describing environment, which is the eight of swords, I would say that Durham is not as free as he would seem, given his successful evasion of justice. Somehow, he is "stuck" somewhere. This may relate to his ID and passport not being renewable, or to pandemic restrictions failing to be amenable to life on the lam. The card of hopes, the next card, is the two of wands. This tells us that he is always planning his next move carefully, but in a methodical way. The last card here is the three of wands, reversed. Somehow, Durham slips up, at some point, and trusts the wrong person or gets recognized. I have not been given a time frame on this, but I suppose all good (and bad) things must come to an end!
From this reading, I really do not get an impression that Durham was involved in Kyron's disappearance. I do get an idea that he may have heard some things about it that were beyond surface knowledge, and didn't want to be involved: if he is involved, it is because he was dragged into it by another person. It also looks as if he was waiting for the truth to make itself abundant and clear. If Durham is ever found, I hope law enforcement takes the time to ask him if he heard anything, before disappearing, himself, about Kyron's disappearance.
I haven't put any new readings on this site for awhile, but there was a request for another reading about Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon in June of 2010 and is still missing. This reading will be a tarot reading in a horoscope spread, and we will see if the cards can shed any light on this case. My focus here is about where Kyron is, and how he can be found.
The first card, representing the first house, of the situation itself, along with all of the intentions and potential, is the five of wands, reversed. This harks back to the day Kyron disappeared; there were obstacles that the perpetrator did not foresee, and for reasons which will hopefully be explained by the rest of the reading, the cards feel that this has a bearing on the case, today. So there must be a detail that was left unattended by the perpetrator, even though no one has located Kyron. The second house, of material and practical concerns, gives us the Hierophant, reversed. The speaks to the unorthodox and strange way that this whole crime was carried out. It is also a suggestion for investigators to be open to new ways of solving crimes. It's number is five, and I think that may be significant, too., especially since the reading began with a "five". In the third house, we have the King of Swords, reversed. The third house deals with relatives and communication, and sometimes, short journeys. While said relatives represented by the third house are usually siblings, it is possible that this reversed king is an older male relative who does not wish for Kyron to be found. This could also represent law enforcement, and negligence concerning the questioning of certain relatives, and the failure to get as much information from them as possible. While the Hierophant tells us about the environment and process, the king refers to a person, or an organization made up of people, such as a police department. There is also a chance that this upside down king is actually an accomplice who told Kyron a lie to gain his cooperation.
The fourth house, of the physical environment, gives us the Lovers. Since Kyron was obviously not old enough for the traditional meaning of this card, I will point out that this card also refers to choices. Because it has appeared in the house of physical location, and sometimes the later stages of life, I am going to go out on a limb, here, and postulate that it refers to Kyron's father's marriage to Terri, and to the home they shared. Somehow, this whole situation started there. Also, to bring the first card back into the spotlight for a minute, it was a card with the value of "five": I think this whole mess got its start at 5:00 or 5:30 in the morning. In the fifth house, we have the King of Pentacles. This is a card of a man who either owns or is employed by a stable company in the house of children and amusement. As he is upside right, he is neutral to the situation, and may have helped the perpetrator in some way, without even realizing it. Perhaps his surveillance camera picked up some movement or clue, and he deleted it, without realizing what he had. Or maybe he met Kyron, face to face, and did not know that Kyron was in danger. Nonetheless, this person may be able to shed light, if he realizes what his contribution means.
The sixth house, which shows us all the little and big inconveniences of life, features the Knight of Cups. This is a man who is still actively looking for Kyron. I am happy to see him, here. He is open to suggestions and able to listen to the right tip, and follow up on it. Since he is in the house of inconvenience, he is a problem to the perpetrator. Moving along to the seventh house, of partnerships and partners, we have the Page of Swords, reversed. This is a young person who partnered with the perpetrator. Swords often deals with words, both written and spoken, so we can expect this young person to given false testimony about Kyron and Kyron's whereabouts. I will also note, here, that this page is the same suit, swords, as the king who showed up in the third house. Perhaps it refers to a child and an older man from the same branch of a large or complicated family. This page knows the truth, as it relates to the first house, but won't discuss it. The eighth house, which is about the wills, and assets generated by death, gives us the Moon. This is betrayal and enemies, here. This was not only about hate, but about getting something of value by creating this whole situation.
The ninth house, which shows the goals and ideals, along with longer travels, gives us the Queen of Pentacles. This is another woman connected to the case. As she is upright, I am going to assume that she has Kyron's best interest at heart, and is trying to find him. Look for her to be involved in the resolution of this case! Moving along to the tenth house, of public influences and government involvement, we have the Devil, reversed. There has been a certain amount of ego involved in this search, along with misapplied traditional "wisdom". It is time to listen to Hierophant in reverse, and go over things in a less traditional way. In the eleventh house, representing the organizations that have helped, we get the seven of cups, showing the general lack of success, so far, in finding Kyron. There have been a lot of far fetched theories and tips followed, here, and the seven of cups is telling us that something fundamental has been completely overlooked and ignored. The eleventh house shares an axis with the fifth house, where we found the King of Pentacles. I really think it is time to find out who he is and see what he has to say! He is a loose end here, that was never tied up by the perpetrator.
The twelfth house, of death and self undoing, gives us the Empress, reversed. I think this is the maternal figure who had access to Kyron in the early morning hours of June 4, 2010, and who took him to school, where he was last seen. The reversal of this card speaks for itself; it reveals a shallow woman who cares only for herself. She appears opposite the knight in the sixth house, so I think the knight is working to counteract her. There were, and are, definitely others involved, and others who know exactly what happened to Kyron. This perpetrator did not act alone.
The cards, once again, have not described a death for Kyron, although the reversed Empress is certainly a dangerous person. The Moon in the eighth house is a bit troubling, and could show a final resting place outside, in water. The first two cards also give us a clue: five, or perhaps a route number, such as rt. 5, or maybe five miles away. Also, the fourth house is where the Lovers turned up, and it is on the same axis as the tenth house, where we got the Devil, reversed. The Devil sometimes tells us of friends or partners who are trapped in a relationship by things other than friendship and love; such as blackmail and secrets. Perhaps someone is no longer trapped by the reversed Empress will be able to shed light on this. As always, I am hoping that Kyron turns up alive. If he does, he will be a young man, by now.
Nine years ago, Kyron Horman disappeared from his school, during a science fair, that morning. Last week, I published two sidereal astrological charts covering events of that morning, in Portland, Oregon. Now, I will progress the chart to 3:00 PM, when school was preparing to dismiss, and Kyron should have boarded the school bus to go home. His father and his stepmother, Kaine and Terri Horman, went to the bus stop to meet Kyron, but were told he never got on the bus. The chart for 3:00 PM should give us an idea of what happened in Portland after that morning. Remember, sidereal horoscope placements are twenty-four degrees behind the tropical placements we find in western charts.
The ascendant has moved from Cancer to 13:58 Virgo. This places Saturn in the first house, at this point, and Mercury, the marker for Kyron, is in the eighth. As the ascendant passed over Saturn's position at 3:58 Virgo, there is a suggestion that Kyron was no longer in the company of a woman, (Terri Horman is marked by the moon in this chart) but either in the company of an older male, or in a place that is signified by Virgo; gardens, especially gardens with ponds or small streams. Saturn, casting his rays to the third and tenth houses, influences the Scorpio, the third house of this chart. The third house is communication and short journeys, and Scorpio is all about the "unknown", revenge, and sometimes, standing water. The tenth house here is Gemini, which was the twelfth house in the earlier charts. Ketu, the South Node, and Venus still occupy Gemini, bringing the chaos of the recent past (Ketu) and the secret kept by a woman into Saturn's focus. Saturn delays matters, and this is one of the reasons why I think a man may be involved. The North Node, Rahu, now occupies the fourth house, of environment and home. In this case, environment and home are two different things. Two of Rahu's provinces are illusions and secrets, and Kyron has definitely been kidnapped and hidden. The Moon is now in the sixth house, which outlines inconveniences and problems. Since the Moon is the marker for the stepmother, could there be a problem connected to her, or to her account of where and when she last saw Kyron? The Moon is still in Aquarius, and still displaced by Saturn, denoting a relationship involving reluctant agreements and inconvenient secrets between the stepmother and the mysterious male represented by Saturn. Saturn is displaced by Mercury, Kyron's marker, interestingly.
The seventh house of this progressed chart is Pisces, still occupied by Jupiter. Jupiter is casting his rays to the fifth, seventh, and ninth houses from himself. This gives us a married fatherly figure whose influence goes to Cancer, the tenth house of the chart. Money and reputation play a very strong role to this man. Jupiter also affects the ascendant of this chart, suggesting that the male represented by Saturn is known to the fatherly figure. He and Saturn both cast rays on the sign of Scorpio, that house of secrets, revenge, and standing water. The Sun occupies the ninth house of this chart. Ninth house significations are long journeys, higher learning, and divine grace. The ninth house also relates to Jupiter, but Jupiter and the Sun are not terribly friendly with each other. The suggests that the married father in this picture has turned down help offered by someone who could have helped find Kyron. Disconcerting. The Sun's position in Taurus also opposes Scorpio, the house that is influenced by both Jupiter and Saturn, showing a lack of cooperation between a male connected to Kyron, a suspect, and law enforcement. Ketu, the South Node, and Venus are now in the tenth house, rather than the twelfth house, placing emphasis on authority, purpose, and reputation. So we have Ketu, with all of its emphasis on secrets and chaos, and Venus, with her desire to maintain balance and compromise, sometimes at the expense of the truth or the resolution of a matter. I am also going to go out on a limb here and venture that there may be two vehicles involved at this point: a white vehicle with an eight cylinder engine and a grey or black, older model SUV. Flags are somehow a symbol, here.......perhaps signs, windsocks, or even bumper stickers.
Mars, the second house occupant in the earlier charts, is now in the twelfth house. He is displaced by Sun, occupant of the current ninth house, and influences the fourth and eighth house from himself. This, once again, puts emphasis on Scorpio and in addition to secrets, suggests violence. He influences Pisces and Jupiter, as well. Some of the malice visited upon Kyron was also intended for Kyron's biological family. This is a willingness to commit violence and possibly murder for material wealth. Part of Kyron's disappearance was about greed and family assets, as well as betrayal. The Sun in the ninth house, Taurus, suggests that a large garden may have been part of the kidnapper's travels with Kyron that day, but I still think water is in the background. It could be as mundane as a place name containing words that refer to the sun, rivers, forests, and gardens.
In the past, I have done Tarot readings for Kyron, and while I have encountered quite a bit of symbolism pointing to Kyron's stepmother as a major player in this drama, I have never seen a direct suggestion that Kyron is deceased. I certainly hope that I was right in the interpretations of those readings, but I am deeply concerned after reading these three charts. There is very heavy emphasis on eighth and twelfth house matters, and both of those houses deal with death, albeit in different ways. The eighth house, which is where we find the Moon on the morning of June 4, is the house of the financial products of partnerships and marriage, or joint assets. This carries over to wills, estates, and life insurance policies. Seeing the intentions of the stepmother in the eighth house, yet somehow relating to a seven year old child, is a bit unusual. Finding Mercury, the marker for Kyron, himself, in the eighth house in the last chart is even more worrying. Then, the morning begins with a heavy twelfth house influence involving Ketu, the South Node, and Venus, a possible female accomplice. This is not good for things involving life and staying alive, so I am very worried about Kyron. Finding warlike Mars in the twelfth house in the last chart suggests that lethal violence is certainly possible. There is also enough fire in both charts to suggest that fire may have been a means of destrying evidence at some point, shortly after Kyron disappeared.
There are several concerns I have about Kyron's sidereal birth chart, when compared to the charts of June 4, 2010. The first thing that jumped out at me was that the Sun is transiting Kyron's Rahu, or North Node. Rahu is described as the head of a demon that is always hungry, and always devouring. When Rahu encounters the Sun, he devours it, too. This represents Rahu swallowing the very essence and direction of Kyron's life. Not good. Also, Saturn is transiting Kyron's Virgo Moon on June 4, which is an occurance that normally happens no more than three times in a lifetime, and a lot of times, not even that often. This forbodes losses and major changes, and hopefully, Kyron survived, somehow. When Saturn transits the Moon in a child's chart, it is usually about a the child's parents and his relationship with his parents, rather than his own life. Since Kyron's living situation was a bit complicated because of his parents' divorce and because of his stepmother, this configuration worries me a bit. Otherwise, Kyron's chart does not appear to show that his time of passing was supposed to be this early in his life; if it happened, it was not the appropriate time, at all. Another worry is Ketu's presence in the twelfth house in the first event chart; Ketu can bring sudden endings. Another possibility involves Rahu, the North Node. As I pointed out earlier, the Sun is transiting Kyron's Rahu. Rahu tends to swallow the Sun, and anywhere we find Rahu, we often find deception. If Kyron is still alive, someone has something to gain by making it appear that he is dead, and has gone to a certain amount of trouble to make it appear so.
I would be inclined to look for Kyron on a property that has either a cistern or a septic tank. I would expect at least one non-native tree in the area, and a sizeable flower garden. Red, orange, and burnt orange are key colors, especially for flowers and possibly for a vehicle driven by a man. This event had been planned for awhile, and there were at least three people primarily involved; two females and one male. Ketu represents the eleventh hour, and is prominent in all of these charts, so I would also venture a guess that whatever was done with Kyron was done by 11:00 AM on June 4, leaving the accomplices to return to their normal activities for that time of day. Testimony of children and adults at Kyron's school should not be ignored, as at least one individual can offer key facts concerning the last time Kyron was seen by anyone other than his stepmother and younger sister. Another note on this is that Rahu was in the sixth house from the ascendant in the morning; this could illustrate that things were not as they appeared: Kyron was supposed to be in school, but was not; teachers thought Kyron was excused from school, but he was not; cell phones pinged from towers in places that witnesses testified that they had not been; accomplices and suspects worked overtime to establish phony alibis, and the like. Ketu is also transiting Kyron's Saturn in Gemini. Gemini is Kyron's ascendant, but the twelfth house in the chart of the morning of June 4. While this could spell death, Saturn could also have delayed this, while keeping Kyron hidden. My assessment is that Kyron was kidnapped by someone living in his home, and that he is either at the family dwelling, or at another property occupied or frequented by this person. I don't like to leave a reading this way, but as of June 4, 2010, there was no resolution because not all family members involved were forthcoming and cooperative. In order to bring resolution to this case, law enforcement will have to conduct further interviews of those thought to be involved and search properties, once again, for any missed clues. I still hold out hope for Kyron's safe return.
Kyron Horman disappeared on June 4, 2010 from his school, during a science fair. There have been massive searches for him, and much discussion and speculation over the past nine years, but Kyron has not been found. He was only seven years old when he was last seen. Many readings have been done for him, too; and I have done a few for him on this site. One thing that I have not done in the past is a forensic astrology event chart for Kyron. This year, I am reading the sidereal event chart for the place from which he disappeared, and I will progress the chart for three key times on June 4, 2010. This will give us two readings, instead of one. I will begin with 8:45 AM on June 4, when he was allegedly dropped off at school, with his science project for the science fair. After that, I will progress Portland's chart to 9:00 AM, which is when Kyron's stepmother states that she left the school. I will finish with a chart for 3:00 PM on the same day. Sidereal astrology shows the planets as they would appear to the naked eye, when viewing the night sky, and it subtracts approximately twenty-four degrees from the tropical, or western horoscopes that are usually used in America. Also, while Vedic astrology does not take the outer, or generational, planets into account, it places much more emphasis on the north and south nodes, or eclipse points, of the moon. The North Node is called Rahu and the South Node is called Ketu; the head and tail of a mythical demonic beast. Since I have found sidereal astrology and Vedic astrology to be much more accurate, I will be using Vedic charts.
According to Kyron's family, his stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, gave him a ride to school at 8:45 AM, and also took his eighteen month old sister, so I ran the first chart for 8:45 AM on June 4. The ascendant is 3:9 degrees Cancer. At that point, there are no new reports of missing persons in the entire area, and nothing is amiss. The South Node, called Ketu, represented by the tail of a demon named Rahu, is in Gemini, the twelfth house, along with Venus, so there is a certain amount of twelfth house energy to be noted. The twelfth house in a chart represents endings, secrets enemies, and death in some cases, and it was one of the first things I looked at. The South Node is the chart significator for the twelfth house, and because of its association in this chart with Mercury, who rules Gemini, I decided to use Mercury as a marker for Kyron. Mercury is in the chart's tenth house, Aries, at 27:18 degrees. Since Kyron was last seen with Terri Horman, I used the ascendant, Cancer, as significator for her activities that morning. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and the Moon is 16:57 degrees Aquarius, and I used the Moon as a marker for Terri. Aquarius is also the eighth house for this chart, and eighth house significations include joint finances, joint accounts, and often death. The Moon can also show unexpected and unexplained actions and reactions. Also, the South Node carries its influence to the eighth house, occupied by the Moon, so I am comfortable using the Moon and Mercury as markers for Kyron and Terri. While the ascendant is in Cancer, it is barely in Cancer; it is still very close to Gemini, the twelfth house hosting two planets, so it appears that there are plans involving twelfth house matters, (death or secrets) but no action yet.
I will jump from here to the third house, which covers short journeys, written communications, and sometimes relatives....younger siblings in particular. Virgo is the third house, and it is occupied by Saturn, at 3:50 degrees. Saturn is the chart significator for the eighth and twelfth houses, which are already heavily represented in this chart, and that is where he carries his influence. Saturn rules places of solitude and spiritual detachment, (graveyards, anyone?) and he is disposited by Mercury, who rules Virgo. The Moon in this chart is disposited by Saturn, which could indicate an older man's involvement in the planning and/or transportation needed to carry out this whole plan. In addition to affecting the house opposite it, Saturn also aspects the third and tenth houses from it, as well. Here, we have Saturn in a loose opposition with Jupiter, which occupies the ninth house, of long distance travels and of education, and we also have him aspecting the seventh house, of partnerships, and the twelfth house. Saturn's effect is to slow things down, so here we see a possible agreement with one partner moving more slowly and more cautiously than the other. Saturn also casts his rays on the sixth house of this chart, which is occupied by Rahu, the North Node. It would appear that the kidnapper's plan did not go as originally planned, but still took place. There was definitely more than one person involved, here.
About that opposition between Jupiter and Saturn; this involved the third and ninth houses. Both of these houses are concerned with travel; short distances in the third house, long distances in the ninth house. We have a conflict between earth, particularly farmed or gardened earth with non-native fruit trees, (possibly fig trees) and large bodies of water. Jupiter also aspects the fifth, seventh, and ninth houses from where it sits. This means that Jupiter, with all of its expansive and accommodating influences has an effect on the ascendant, solidifying will and intentions. Moving to another place of influence, the seventh house from itself, Jupiter, once again, influences Saturn, the planet of delay. This was probably an inconvenience related to driving Kyron away from the school. Next, we have Jupiter affecting the ninth house from itself and the fifth house of the chart, Scorpio. Fifth house matters are creativity, love affairs, children, pleasure, and speculations. Scorpio is a rather dark place, symbolized by standing water and sometimes, negative emotions. Perhaps a compromise about location?
We have Mercury, the marker for Kyron, in the tenth house, of public life and government. I will take this to mean school, in Kyron's case. A side note about the tenth house is that it also represents fathers, and fatherhood.....more on that later. The tenth house is Aries, and Mercury affects the seventh house from itself, which is Libra. Libra is a sign of discernment, and I do not think Kyron would have willingly left the school with a stranger. Libra is also the fourth house of the chart, which brings home and family into the mix, and suggests that someone from Kyron's home was involved. It probably took some convincing and coaxing to get Kyron away from the school and the science fair, too. Mercury is disposited by the Sun, and we find the Sun in Taurus, the eleventh house of friends and organizations. This is where we will have the most reliable information and clues as to where Kyron was taken. Here, we once again encounter the symbolism of tilled earth and agriculture. Red deer and wagons are also featured, here. We had red as a unique color in Saturn's position, and we also have it in the Sun's position. The testimony of Kyron's school friends, teachers, and other employees of the school is key, here. Perhaps red or orange could be a school bus, or a bus driver may have key information. The Sun also brings its influence to the first, ninth, and tenth houses of a chart, so we have the Sun casting its effects on the ascendant, showing that there are witnesses who can help, on the seventh house of the chart, Capricorn, showing that there are accomplices, and on the tenth house from itself and the eighth house of the chart, Aquarius, occupied by the Moon, which is the marker for Kyron's stepmother, Terri Horman. No one should be surprised if an eyewitness identifies Terri as having been close enough to circumstances and evidence to have been involved.
Meanwhile, the Sun is disposited by Venus, who is in Gemini, the twelfth house of this chart, along with the South Node.Venus in the twelfth house is often sensual, in a perverse way, and she is coupled with the South Node here, who brings violent energies into the mix. There is also a vague lack of direction about procedures at the school on this day, which leads to loss. So the stage is set in Portland for a child to go missing on June 4.
At this point, I have progressed the chart just fifteen minutes, to 9:00 AM. Most the configurations have not changed significantly, but a couple have; notably the ascendant and the Moon. The ascendant has moved further into Cancer, and is no longer on the cusp of Gemini. This pushes the not-yet-materialized plan into a viable action. Earthy Saturn, in Virgo, becomes more active, while watery Jupiter cedes a bit. 9:00 can be nailed down as a key time. The Moon has moved to 17:05 Aquarius, and is opposite Leo, which is occupied by Mars at 4:39 degrees. Mars rules Aries, the tenth house of this chart, and as I stated earlier, I am getting back to the tenth house significance. One of the denizens of the tenth house is the father, and relationships with the father. Mercury, the marker for Kyron, is in the tenth house. Mars is a planet that often brings conflicts, and it isn't terribly friendly to the Moon, so I think it is fair to deduce that there is a certain amount of conflict between Terri and Kyron's father. Leo, where Mars is placed, is the second house in this chart, and symbolizes money, income, and possessions; so this gives us an idea of what the disappearance of a child at this time and place was really about. Mars aspects the fourth, seventh, and eighth houses from itself. This means that in addition to opposing Aquarius, the eight house of the chart, Mars also casts rays on the fifth house of the chart, Scorpio, lending speculation without facts to the motive, and it casts an influence on Pisces, the eighth house from itself and the ninth house of the chart, where Jupiter waits. One of Jupiter's significations is a fatherly influence, so here we have another suggestion that a struggle with Kyron's father may have precipitated this.
In all of the tarot readings I have done for Kyron, none have conclusively indicated that Kyron was murdered. Here, we have a lot of eighth house and twelfth house activity, and both houses deal with death, so I am a bit uncomfortable and unhappy to see this. The marker for Terri being in the eighth house is disconcerting, and the South Node in the twelfth house is never a comforting thing in a reading for a missing person. The North Node is in the sixth house, in a loose opposition to Venus, also in the twelfth house, and the sixth house deals with inconveniences and health problems. This shows that Kyron was an "inconvenience" to a female family member, and possibly to others connected to her. The North Node, or Rahu, can give misleading philosophies when in Sagittarius, and its opposition to Venus shows an inability to compromise. Rahu in Sagittarius could show us key places in regard to this kidnapping, although judging from the rest of this chart, I would expect multiple crimes scenes, at least two. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, who is in his other sign of rulership here, Pisces. This is another "father" reference.
Another factor that cannot be overlooked is how heavy this chart is in the element of fire; we have Mars in Leo, the second house, Rahu in Sagittarius, the sixth house, and Mercury in Aries, the tenth house. This gives a lot of importance to the second house pursuit of money and the sixth house inconveniences of day to day affairs, combined with tenth house status and public life....with the marker for Kyron being in the tenth house. Somehow, money, possessions, and inconvenience played a role here, along with concern about reputation. How does the element of fire play into this? Keeping in mind that both the eighth house and the twelfth houses are Aquarius and Gemini, air signs.... perhaps this is a reference to communication and evidence....as in "burner phones". Quite mundane, but possibly applicable. The eighth and twelfth houses also deal with secrets; Aquarius is where we find the Moon, so it literally "carries the water," along with the motive and intention; and Gemini is occupied by Ketu and Venus, suggesting that a woman has been keeping secrets in this matter for a long time. Also significant would be tears and sweat, and circles of flowers. Given the references in this chart, I would have to deduce that in the Portland area, two women were directly involved, and a man indirectly involved, in the disappearance of a local child on the morning of June 4, 2010. I will run another chart, progressed by a few hours, in a couple of days, in order to determine more of how events unfolded according to the first chart.
There has been a recent Freedom of Information act request by the media about Kyron Horman's missing persons case, and it was denied. The reason for this is that searches connected to the new evidence and testimony are ongoing, and law enforcement feels that the outcome of the case might be compromised if it is discussed in the news, at this point. The letter from law enforcement agencies does confirm that new evidence is under review. The question that is on everyone's mind is if it will lead to Kyron's whereabouts. Kyron disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon on June 4, 2010, when he was seven years old.
In the first house, of the article, itself, we have the seven of wands, reversed. This is information that was hidden and well guarded for a long time. It is still well guarded, but has changed hands. In the second house, of personal funding and resources, we have the five of swords, reversed. This is a chance of defeat for someone, and a bit of a "paybacks are hell" message! We will come back to that later. The third house, governing letters, communication, relatives, short journeys, and memory, gives us the Queen of Wands, reversed. This is very interesting: the Queen of Wands is often physically depicted as a woman with strawberry blond or red hair, and reversed, she is jealous and has a nasty temper. Such a person played a role here, having to do with third house matters, namely short journeys and communication. Hmmm.
Moving on to the fourth house, of home and environment, we have the two of cups, reversed. This is a partnership that has failed, and also a tendency for passion that is misguided and sometimes explosive. Somehow, this dynamic factors into the new evidence, and how the new evidence came to the attention of law enforcement. The fifth house, of creativity and pleasure, sports the six of cups. The six of cups is often about childhood memories and about children. There is a relationship between these things, and some sacrifices that needed to be made, but were not made. Somehow, this too, brought the new evidence to the attention of law enforcement. In the sixth house, of day to day affairs, health, and the management of mundane details, we have the five of cups, reversed. In reversal, this card means hope, and sometimes, the return of an old friend. One can only hope and pray.
The seventh house, of committed relationships and compromise, gives us the world, reversed. This tells us that someone connected to this investigation has stalled, and failed to help the investigation move forward. We are not surprised, however; this has been a dynamic for almost seven years. The seventh house opposes the seven of wands in the first house, so we can be quite certain that it is telling us that lack of cooperation has been a major problem in finding Kyron. In the eighth house, of karma, legacies, law, and sometimes, death, we find the Queen of Pentacles, reversed. When this queen falls reversed in a reading, she is usually a moody and mistrusting woman. She has been behind the scenes, going over data and evidence. In fact, she opposes the reversed five of swords in the second house, which relates to finances and resources. So; we can extrapolate that the financial data of the reversed Queen of Wands in the third house has been part of this picture. Interesting.
The ninth house, of long journeys and education, federal law, and government gives us the four of swords. This is a card of dormancy, or rest. This inactivity opposes our reversed Queen of Wands. Her retreat from stress and strife has also played a role in the discovery of new evidence. Moving along to the tenth house, of career ambitions, social standing, and relationships with superiors, we see the six of wands, reversed. This means one thing, an enemy at the gate with an unpleasant message. It will ruin someone's reputation, too. The Hanged Man, reversed, is in the eleventh house, of friends, hobbies, and debates. The message here is a refusal to truly be a friend, and perhaps a friend has refused to cover for someone who is not a true friend. This card opposes the reversed two of cups in the fourth house of environment, so it appears that someone close to the matter has given some information to law enforcement. In the twelfth house, of secrets, restrictions, and secret enemies, we find the Star, reversed. This is pessimism and doubt.....there will still be problems with actual testimony from the reversed Queen of Wands. This card opposes the reversed five of cups in the sixth house, of details and mismanaged details. It looks, to the naked eye, as if we have testimony from a friend that contradicts something that was formerly believed by investigators.
Once again, nothing in this reading has pointed, outright, to Kyron's demise; although with each passing day in a search for a missing child, the chances of finding him or her alive reduce dramatically. In conclusion, it appears that finding Kyron will involve not only turning over every physical stone, but turning over every bit of testimony and every detail in the evidence that is gathered. This new evidence contains something that has the potential to ruin more than one life, and yes, it can lead to Kyron if handled with care.
Kyron Horman has been missing from Oregon for over six years, now. Recently, his former step mother, Terri Moulton Horman, was was interviewed by Dr. Phil, on his show. This recent interview, and also a move to California, were quite unexpected from her, as she has lived with her parents in Roseburg, Oregon and refused to discuss Kyron's case with anyone, until this year. I have been asked to do another reading for Kyron, and so I will. I will just ask when and how Kyron will be found, and see what the cards tell us.
We begin with the nine of pentacles, a card of material success and safety, crossed by the Knight of Pentacles, reversed....usually a man who is careless about how he does his job! What a paradox! This is founded by the Queen of Swords, who is often a woman connected to law enforcement or the justice system, so for now, I am going to assume that this is a woman who looked for Kyron when he initially went missing. Her work, and possibly her information and notes, will be helpful to those looking for Kyron now. Temperance also appears in the more recent past, which tells us that there must somehow be a way to "temper" past information with new information.
The next card is the Knight of Swords, and he appears as the best possible option, here. While the Queen appears in the past, the Knight appears in the future. These individuals are both from the suit of swords, and it appears, for the moment, that they are law enforcement. This is the young man may find himself charged with giving the notes and clues a second or third look. Make no mistake, the case is still open. The next card, and your reader finds this very troubling, is the Emperor, reversed. This is the "father" card in the deck, and it can either indicate an actual father figure who is misguided and somehow weak, or it can refer to being defrauded out of an inheritance, or it can simply mean that there are elements of immaturity in a situation. I hate to see any of those in Kyron's case. The reversed Emperor corresponds with Temperance, suggesting a person who has not balanced information, tips, or clues very well.
In the place of fears, we have the Knight of Wands, reversed. This is a man whose presence brings discord and division along with him. He is a person who can help solve this crime, yet refuses. He is followed by the Page of swords, also reversed, in the place of environment. Unforeseen events are augered here, along with another, younger person who does not want to assist in helping to find Kyron. The Knight's involvement has to do with the crime, itself, while the Page's involvement has to do with testimony and things heard after the fact. These are both people who need to be questioned. In the place of hopes and fears, we have the nine of swords, which is a card of worry, and I think it almost speaks for itself. The last card is the two of swords, reversed. This is the release of a stalemate, so while I am glad to see it here, I am concerned about the direction affairs may take, as this card warns that things may go the wrong direction. The caution here is about dealing with "rogues", or in this case, dealing with those who may either testify falsely or somewhat falsely, or attempt to protect guilty parties. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to see movement in the case, and to see that authorities are still interested in solving the case.
Once again, the only reference to Kyron's demise here is in the place of worries, rather than actual events. While I understand that the longer a missing person's case drags on, the fewer chances we have of finding him or her safe, I am encouraged. I think the "father figure" indicated by the Emperor should be asked a few questions, one more time. Perhaps this is already in the works. The large number of cards from the suit of swords would normally point us east for a location, but in this case, I really think these cards are referring to the police, the court, and to spoken and written testimony. This means tips, notes, and reliable clues, all put together by the right person. It appears that while this is done, the best thing for everyone else to do is show Kyron's picture to everyone, once again; and keep talking about this case.
"Thankyou for any readings you do on Kyron,,He has been in Our Hearts and
Minds since this little guy went missing..I have a question..There was a
poem that showed up online after Kyrons disapperance..Do You ever do a
reading on whether it was written about Kyron and what it
means..Needless to say it has been disturbing for many of us and I have
never forgotten it.. Here it is...The Eskimo (Rich) posted on July 16,
2010 at 7:58 a.m. on OregonLive; 'The sunny side, where
you should be, not in the woods or near a tree. A childs blessing a mans
remorse, one cops woman so stay the course. Intent was there, luck
prevailed humanity blushed and evil sailed, a course, a path, watery
grave. Not the K or T we know but others hands in the fire, so, look
elsewhere, you will find a clue, idea and then the end that we all knew,
would come, sad and happy to see it gone, our lives will go on but one
will not, we shed a tear for little him, but not for
them. Please if you can give any insight."
Above is a comment that was sent to me last week, about a reading I did for young Kyron Horman,
who was seven years old in 2010, when he disappeared from his school in
Portland, Oregon. Curiously, no reading, to date, that I have done for
this young man shows that he is deceased, although the odds of finding a
missing child alive decrease dramatically with each day the child is
missing. Also, while forensic evidence in the forms of testimony and
metadata have been recovered, no evidence, as of yet, has been found
relating directly to Kyron or his whereabouts.
So to do a reading on the verse that was posted on a news forum, I
decided to ask the Tarot if there was any relevant bearing, expressed
here, on Kyron, his whereabouts, or his missing persons case.
We begin with the nine of swords, reversed, crossed by the ten of
swords. This message seems pretty clear; the nine of swords, in reversal
or upside right, tells us about worry, and the ten of swords represents
a violent ending, about which many people here are worried. This
violent ending is what the image the writer of the verse wished to
convey to the readers. Beneath it, we have the eight of wands, reversed,
telling us that the writer also wished to see the general public argue
about Kyron and the case. Hmm....perhaps the writer succeeded. Next,
Judgement appears, reversed. This card often indicates a fear of death
when it falls reversed, but just as often, it denotes bad judgement.
Loss of home, property, and other worldly goods is also one of the
messages of this card in reversal, and I think the writer was attempting
to alarm Kyron's family, in order to perpetrate a scam of some sort. In the place of possibilities, the World has shown up, reversed. The message here is, "this goes nowhere." From this, I am leaning strongly toward the possibility that whoever wrote that verse had nothing constructive to say. Next, we find the Page of Swords. This is someone who snoops to the extent of violating privacy at times, trying to find information. So far, this person has been unsuccessful, and functions as a bit of a dilettante.
The first card on the staff is the ace of wands, representing the writer's fears. This is a wonderful card, telling of new creations, births, fortunes, wonderful business ideas, and the like. Why would it be in someone's fears? But that is what scares this person. Following it, we have Justice, telling us that the judicial system is, in some way, playing a role in the verse writer's life. This could also refer to education, or balance in general, but with a focus on legal aspects; but I think here it refers to involvement with the court. Next, in desires and hopes, we find the three of pentacles, reversed. Our verse writer was either unemployed when the verse was written, or is unreliable and unskilled in his or her chosen field. The last card is the Page of Wands. Usually, this augers good news of some kind. It is a message that we, the public, have yet to hear, in terms of Kyron's case. It looks to me as if there is actually a witness yet to come forward, who can help solve the case. This is not related to the writer of the verse, however. The writer of the verse was speculating; had it been anything more, testimony would have been shared in a more traditional way, with those whose jobs and skill sets involve using witness statements to solve missing persons cases.
Terri Horman, former stepmother of missing Kyron Horman, the second grader who disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon, in 2010, has opted to grant an interview to People Magazine, after five years of silence. She has been a person of interest in Kyron's case since the summer of 2010, and has failed at least two polygraphs. She now insists that she was not involved in Kyron's disappearance. But why wait five years to address the media? Let's ask the Tarot.
This reading begins with the Page of Cups, crossed by the ten of swords. The Page of Cups is a young person, who probably has not had much experience in life, and has some idealistic notions that border on dilettantism. This person has also had an influence on Terri, and may be the one who convinced Terri to speak publicly. Judging from the shadow cast by the ten of swords, I am going to guess that this was a huge mistake; on the part of the Page of Cups, and on the part of Terri Horman. The ten of swords speaks to things that end in ruin.
In the distant past, we have the Tower, reversed. This describes oppression and imprisonment, and Terri Horman has stated that she does, in fact, see her life that way. Moving along to the not so distant past, we have the two of wands. This card tells of an effort to manage one's affairs, and control one's house. Terri wants to take control of her situation, and up until now, she has not had control. Her other goal, as shown in the next card, the ace of swords, reversed, is to overpower the negative press she has received from law enforcement, Kyron's family, and Kyron's supporters. This is still not within her reach.
The next card we get is the King of Swords, reversed. This is a powerful, middle aged or older man. As he falls reversed, I would expect him to be adversarial to Terri, almost to the point of becoming unjust. Her opinion, anyway, will be that he is unjust. The King of Swords is often involved in law or law enforcement, and Terri can bet her bottom dollar that someone involved in those fields is listening to every word she says. This king has had enough of waiting patiently for Kyron's case to resolve.
The first card on the staff is the ten of wands, reversed. This tells us that Terri feels that her separation from her youngest child, Kiara Horman, who was only a baby when Kyron disappeared, is unjust. She is rightly concerned that she will never have an actual relationship with her daughter. The next card, describing the surroundings and environment, is the seven of swords. This is the act of taking something that does not belong to one, or of attempting to declare something "finished" when it is not. Once again, the control Terri wants to exert is not within her grasp. The next card, in the place of Terri's fears, is the King of Pentacles, reversed. This is a man who is talented in business, but uses his talents for abusive or dishonest purposes. Right here, I drew another card, asking what this king's role in Terri's affairs would be, and I got Judgement, reversed. Upside right, Judgement tells of renewal, and resolution. Since the card has fallen reversed, it describes a man who does not actually want those things for Kyron Horman's case. The last card is the six of cups, reversed. This card sees Terri clinging to the past. Not only is Terri clinging to outworn sentimentality; there is property and money to which she would like to cling.
So there we have it. Terri wants control of her involvement in Kyron Horman's missing persons investigation, and she wants to regain property and other odds and ends from her past. I could not help but notice that nothing in the reading suggested that she might be trying to find Kyron.
Here is a comment that came to me yesterday:
"Looks like the ex-stepmother has finally decided to speak out and give an interview. Is Kyron safe somewhere?" The question has tugged at many hearts over the past five and a half years, since Kyron Horman disappeared from his second grade class at Skyline Elementary in Portland, Oregon. The question now deserves a closer look.
This reading starts with the three of swords, crossed by the nine of pentacles, which, in this case, is read reversed. When the three of swords falls reversed, it often indicates, in addition to infighting and strife, a meeting with someone who has been compromised by the subject. The nine of pentacles, when reversed, tells of voided projects, lost friendships, and sometimes, the loss of family or home. This seems consistent with the situation of Terri Horman, Kyron's former stepmother. Beneath this, we get the Page of Swords, reversed. This refers to a factor in the past, and the Page of Swords reversed often shows unpleasant surprises, for which someone involved is not prepared. People and circumstances did not proceed the way the perpetrator had expected.
Another card describing past events is the Fool, reversed. This is telling us that bad choices, and bad decisions were made, perhaps in relation to the events foreshadowed by the Page of Swords. Kyron's disappearance was planned, because someone had been compromised by him, and something went completely wrong. The person responsible for the crime did not have a reliable "Plan B".
The possible future shows us the World, which is an encouraging card to see here. This card foretells success and triumph. On more basic levels, it can also tell of travel. It is followed by the Queen of Pentacles, and as she falls upside right, I will assume, for the time being, that she is friend, not foe. She is an adult female who values security, particularly financial security, and stability. Her symbols are related to Earth; farming, ripe fruit, agriculture. I would expect her to have an olive complexion and dark hair and eyes. Her presence, is as of yet, unexplained.
The first card on the staff is the three of pentacles. This is the card of the craftsman; the job well done. Sometimes, it also describes a person or a family...it indicates wealth. It is in the place of self image and fears, and shows a fear of these elements. Is someone afraid that money will talk louder than blood or justice? The next card, in the place of environment and personal connections, is the Queen of Wands, reversed. I think this is a rather obvious reference, but I will go ahead and describe the character on this court card, anyways. The Queen of Wands is often blond, or red headed. She is passionate and active when upside right, but when she falls reversed, as she has here, she is jealous and cruel. Yes, this is the person who can tell us exactly where to find Kyron. The next card is Strength, reversed, which speaks to abused authority. The Queen of Wands took it upon herself to do something she did not have the legal or personal right to do, yet others thought that she did! She took advantage.....
The last card in the reading is the King of Pentacles. This is a man who, like his counterpart, the Queen of Pentacles, enjoys stability and security. I would expect him to look like his Queen, olive with dark hair and eyes. Also like the Queen of Pentacles, he falls upright, so it can be deduced that he is friend, not foe. A lot depends on him, here. He has control of the situation right now. Once again, like all of the readings I have done for Kyron in the past, his death has not been detailed. I also find it very interesting that two court cards from the same suit, pentacles, have appeared in present and future positions in this reading. This aspect, in addition to the World, would suggest very strongly that the answer to this question is yes, Kyron is somewhere safe. I hope that I am right.....it is possible that I have missed something, it is possible that my wishful thinking interfered.....but that is my interpretation of this reading.
With each passing day, a missing persons case gets more difficult for law enforcement to solve. In a case involving a stranger who either kidnaps an adult or a child, if the stranger intends to kill the victim, this usually happens within the first three hours. Kyron has been missing for over five years. If, as the reading suggests, he is still with us, he is not a seven year old anymore. He would be thirteen, and his appearance would be very different. If you know anything about Kyron's current whereabouts, will you please call the number on the poster above, and let someone know?
"We have knowledge of things we wish we didn't"...... What, exactly, did Sheriff Staton mean by this statement, made shortly after Kyron Horman disappeared in Portland Oregon from his school in June of 2010? Someone wanted to know what the Tarot would say about that comment, and a lot of people have speculated about it and written about it over the last four years, so I will attempt a reading to answer that question. Staton does not appear to have explained what he meant.
The reading begins with the Queen of Pentacles crossed by the four of cups. The Queen of Pentacles is an independent woman with resources and business skill. She is intelligent and ethical, and I would expect her to have dark hair and brown eyes. The most important part of this description is not the physical aspect, but the character aspect, though. She is crossed by the four of cups, which tells of dissatisfaction, yet also of not being quite willing to give up her current course of action.
The main cause of this reaction on the part of the queen appears as the ten of pentacles, reversed. This is usually the loss of a large amount of money that was given, rather than earned, such as an inheritance. It could also signify and insurance policy. As the card is reversed, it speaks of a loss. Hopefully, it is not the risk of not being able to find Kyron, but lets come back to it, if necessary. The next card to describe the past is the ace of cups, which is a new love, or a birth. It can also mean an addition to the family via adoption, or simply love, joy, and fertility. So we have a new relationship, possibly familial, playing into the picture.
The next card, telling us what had been intended, is the two of wands. This is usually an idea-become-a-venture-with-help-from-another, forming a "partnership" of sorts, but in this case, I am inclined to wonder if it is a big enterprise run by a rich person. It also represents two different possible outcomes in this case, and it was very hard for the sheriff to second guess and direct his resources effectively. Next, we have the eight of wands, reversed, which is what the sheriff encountered when he investigated the family. Jealousy, infighting, and disputes, mostly centered on family matters, took center stage.
The Knight of Pentacles appears as a man who went through all information quietly and methodically. Some of his findings have not been published. He and the Queen of Pentacles, most likely a workmate, discovered most of the information that was developed. The Knight of Wands is next on the staff, and his is the face everyone sees, connected to Kyron's case. I think this may be Staton. The next card is Judgement, and as it appears in the place of hopes, it is the hope of finding Kyron. Also, there is a suggestion, with this card, that someone investigating truly expected to find Kyron in water. The last card is Death, reversed, which does not tell us anything about Kyron, but describes Staton's frustration at the failure of the information to help him connect the dots and find him. So it looks like early in the case, it was noticed that there was a lot of familial disagreement and jealousy at play, coupled with money and possibly revenge. The two of wands may also represent the actions of an attorney or other advocate whose "help" is not helpful to Kyron. It looks like Staton was referring primarily to his department's findings about Kyron's family, and some of the relationship stresses and circumstances that hindered Kyron's well being; also about the frustrations of not being able to convince all parties who testified to testify truthfully. The comment appears to center of the obstacles from dealing with testimony and suspects, rather than actual circumstances.
Kyron Horman. Still missing after three years. The only question I can think of that hasn't been put to divination yet is this: has the trail completely gone cold?
For the past, I pulled these three cards: Temperance, the Emperor, reversed, and the ace of cups. Temperance, as it is a card of good combinations and management, illustrates that earlier in the investigation, tips and leads were managed better than they are now, as was the flow of information between agencies involved in the search. The next card, the Emperor reversed, points to emotional immaturity and dependence on parents. It could also mean the loss of an inheritance. Somehow, a material loss which was also considered family property played a role early in the investigation. Yet, the ace of cups appears, telling us that all was not lost, and despite the lack of familial harmony, there was still hope.
For the present, I drew the three of cups, reversed, the five of cups, and the six of swords. This is an interesting and somewhat familiar message. The message of the three of cups when it falls reversed is often one of excesses and indulgence, and this seems to be the most fitting meaning of the card in this situation. Possibly too much alcohol consumption on the part of an adult connected to Kyron's situation. Next, we have the five of cups, reminding us of regret, and reinforcing the theme of loss, as first seen in the Emperor reversed. The overindulgence and material loss are connected. The six of swords follows this, and it is a card of travel. Either Kyron, or a witness who can tell us more, has moved away from the scene of the crime. This is rather disturbing, as it comes as an answer to the question about how Kyron's trail went cold.
For the future, I drew the five of swords, the seven of cups, and the Fool. How very interesting. The five of swords is anger, rage, and simple revenge. I do not like to see this in answer to why Kyron's case went cold, either. The seven of cups tells us that there have been many clues, but nothing that has solidly materialized; and energies and resources have been too widely scattered without enough direction. The Fool represents a new and vital choice that will be made in this case, and it will bring a whole new angle to finding Kyron. I believe that someone will be forced, with new motivations, to make a wiser and more productive choice about offering evidence and information. It looks as if it will be the result of a new investigator, or a new prosecutor, who finds a way to motivate people who are already involved in the case. I hope this happens soon. Kyron has been missing for over three years now.
As a bit of an update to the readings I have done for Kyron Horman, I am going to do a reading about a witness by the name of Dede Spicher, who was recently deposed by Eldon Rosenthal, the attorney who represents Kyron's mother in a civil lawsuit she filed to find answers to her son's missing persons case. The question I have concerning this is, "why did Dede Spicher assert her right to remain silent so much?"
The reading starts off with the five of pentacles, reversed, crossed by the six of swords. This is curious. The five of pentacles reversed speaks of the return of old friends or relatives, and the six of swords means travel, often from one state or country to another. As the six of swords crosses the five of pentacles, we can take it to mean that this "return" has not yet taken place. The appearance of the six does refer to the distinct possiblity, however; and is part of the answer to my question about why Dede Spicher will not testify: she is trying NOT to reveal Kyron's whereabouts! This is based by the Moon, which sometimes means psychic or mystic abilities, but also often means lying and dishonesty. I think we may opt for the latter in this case. Behind this, we have the four of pentacles, telling us that something of value, in this case, information, has indeed been held back. The Queen of cups appears as someone from whom we have not yet heard, and as she falls reversed, we cannot expect the truth from her when it is her turn to speak. The Chariot reversed tells us that Dede considers her refusal to answer questions a bit if a "victory" that she has won by unethical means. There is a sense here that she, personally, has been somehow wronged by the person she is hurting. This is a bit twisted...............This will stall on her, though. I do not believe she will get away with refusing to cooperate indefinately.
The first card on the staff is the Sun, reversed. This can be victory, but not complete, or clouded joy; and it can also mean testimony, but not the complete truth. I think Eldon Rosenthal, who represents Kyron's mother, is very aware that he has not been told the complete truth in all of the depositions he has conducted so far, and understands how he needs to proceed in order to find the truth. This is followed up well by the seven of cups, reversed, in the plae of environment. Upright, this is a card of dreams and delusions, but reversed, it is a card of understanding and competence. We find Death in the place of hopes and fears. While there is an outside chance that the card could be speaking to us at face value, this is unusual in a reading. While I do think that the questions being asked of witnesses, Dede Spicher included, are ever vigilant to determine if Kyron is alive or not, I think that this is a fear of many other things on Dede's part. I also think it represents the solid fact that Dede actually DOES have valuable testimony. Directionally, this card points north. The reading ends with the four of wands, which is a strange card to answer the question I asked! The four of wands is a card of balence, and happy, well balenced relationships. This would tell us that Dede Spicher finally tells us what we need to know, and it tells of home and refuge.
