A quick 'now' insight using The Merlin Tarot. The 'focus' as per usual is 'the Shining Star' ... the insight to provide any new sense of her well being and/or location.It's certainly not going to plan. There is frustration. Someone at the core of the situation is not holding it together very well; has been kept out of the public arena to disguise the cracks. This is a woman in the 'seven'. Recounting her steps she has regrets. She feels she is the most wounded by the situation as it appears it was her original advice that led to the disappearance of the shining star? There seemed to be a group of children from which the 'abductor' could choose. All within a group that had a common theme.
8 of Serpents - "Expediency" - Dare this be interpreted as a number of significant pregnancies? Several groups of twins plus single children who are technically 'genetic' twins. This opens the way to possible speculation who the group really are and what they have dealing with (and also who they are dealing with) ....
Ace of Beasts - 'looking back over old ground' - an apparent group of five. Four on the outer rim of a 'circle' with one in the centre who is 'the donor' - all symbolically 'nestling' in the protective antlers of a rich benefactor - the symbolic 'Stag'. A Celtic Businessman who's abode is in desolate hilly ground - in Ireland?
Warrior Of Beasts - Betrayal has to be repaid. Group/lodge loyalty. Going against the advice of someone of higher rank/station. One of the knights has a role/involvement as a result. To rectify the supposed betrayal. Knights in 'high places' . Medical places? All watching with bated breath. Something has been researched behind closed doors. A symbolic tapestry landscape - a patchwork of techniques? Two mice seen in the foreground of the image perhaps like guinea pigs for 'the experiment'. Now it has been tested ... how strong is the bond/technique? What will be revealed as a scientific advancement.
Queen Of Beasts - Jealous woman in a barren landscape with one child around her. Now partnerless. A dangerous adversary, sits in a a property within woodland - has a tunnel/basement in the woods nearby. She has a power like 'a high priestess'. Woman of rank and role. She holds the secrets. She appears to have been in touch with, or linked to, the one who ordered the 'taking' of The Shining Star'. Her estranged partner is a man of influence. But which one holds MM? Which side is which? A black haired woman ....
