Astral Projections: Week 2 Tarot Readings (Sun/Mon)
Post Body
It's that time again! Time to consult the cards and suss out the divine truths of your roster. Let me guide your substitution through the power of tarot!
This post only contains top 5 at QB, RB, and WR. Please see this google sheet for the full list. Note, I'm still reading for WRs and will be adding more as the night goes on.
Notes:
- You can find Week 2 TNF readings here.
- I currently use Golden Thread Tarot to save time and better record each read. Some reads in the future might be done with a physical deck.
- Each player has a single tarot card drawn to inform the question "How will [player name] perform in Week x of the NFL season?"
- Each card cell links to a description in Labyrinthos. They are the same descriptions/card illustrations as those in the Golden Thread app and help explain my comments on the card visuals.
- I'm not experienced in Tarot readings prior to this season at all.
EMERGENCY JOSH GORDON THREE CARD READING. PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE DRAW! (Proof of read)
| Card # | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card 1 - The Past | Page of Swords | Curiosity, restlessness, mental energy | Jash Gordan came into the league eager to play and find his role, but he was also restless and not focused on his performance in the league and putting energy into "extra-curricular activities". |
| Card 2 - The Present | Temperance - Reversed | Extremes, excess, lack of balance | Wow, spot on. Substance use and a lack of work-life balance has plagued Josh. He can't stay on the field even when performing well in his comeback game last week. |
| Card 3 - The Future | VII of Pentacles - Reversed | Work without results, distractions, lack of rewards | Well, it looks like Gordon won't be rewarded for this. I think it's easy to assume that he signs elsewhere, but no matter what he hasn't gotten the most out of his time in Cleveland and has damaged his future rewards significantly. "You find yourself frustrated, and looking for other opportunities. |
| QB Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drew Brees | IV of Cups | Apathy, contemplation, disconnectedness | The visuals actually seem ok to me despite the description of this card. The golden light flowing into the cup shows Brees's potential here, but he isn't taking it. Ignoring the gifts might relate more to ignoring some of his more gifted teammates this game than his own performance. |
| Ben Roethlisberger | IX of Cups | Comfort, emotional stability, luxury | Damn, Big Ben just chillin on a comfy couch surrounded by cups. He has the teammates to dominate this game, but he can't take things for granted especially with a minor injury. Good week ahead as long as he keeps moving. |
| Cam Newton | King of Wands | Big picture, leader, overcoming challenges | This is what Cam needs to display this week against Atlanta, confidence and vision. With Olsen out he has to lead his team to victory and he looks poised to do so. No matter what he's gonna go hard this week, I'm hoping for another rushing TD. |
| Deshaun Watson | The Hermit - Reversed | Loneliness, Isolation, lost your way | Interesting draw for Watson. The injury may still be in his head. I think he needs another week to really get back into the swing of things. |
| Patrick Mahomes | V of Pentacles | Recovery, isolation | Great sign for Mahomes this week. I'm not sure anyone thought his performance last week was missing much, but he's pushed beyond it and his hands are breaking through the door. |
| RB Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Todd Gurley | II of Pentacles - Reversed | Loss of Balance, disorganized, overwhelmed | I don't think it's going to be Todd Gurley who is overwhelmed, but the Arizona defense. This could be an unbalanced game for him (carries vs receptions, yards vs tds, etc), but cant imagine a bad game beyond a fumble. |
| Alvin Kamara | King of Swords | Intellectual, Power, Truth | Kamara is locked in this week, sharp and clear. Expect a kingly week. |
| Melvin Gordon | VI of Cups | Nostalia, happy memories, reunion | Gordon is a bunny in a garden this week, should point to rushing yards against the Bills. Fumbles might be a concern with being too ahead of himself, but a good performance overall. |
| Ezekiel Elliott | The World | Fulfillment, harmony, completion | Elliot will reach completion against the Giants. Confident start, should have triple digit yards. |
| James Conner | VII of Wands - Reversed | Give up, destroyed confidence, feeling overwhelmed | Scary draw for Connor owners. It's hard to practically see Conner having a bad game against KC, but it's very likely that the Bell drama is weighing on his mind. He's strong and I think he'll overcome, but that doesn't guarantee he won't lose his head. |
| WR Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antonio Brown | VII of Cups - Reversed | Temptation, diversion, confusion | "All that glitters is not gold" That's it, Brown is having an All-Star performance. I don't care that this card suggests that he may be overvalued. |
| Michael Thomas | IX of Cups | Greed, smugness, dissatisfaction | There's still something missing, but greed is good for a fantasy team. Even if Thomas isn't happy, he should be getting fed. |
| DeAndre Hopkins | Death - Reversed | Fear of Change, holding on, stagnation | Radical transformation could be good, but right now Hopkins is living in the shadow of his former self. He needs to let the cycle end, but I think we're in for more of the same as last week. |
| Julio Jones | V of Swords | Unbridled ambition, win at all costs, sneakiness | Victory has already been achieved. I think Julio always has a target on his back, but he's ready to win at all costs. TD incoming. |
| OBJ | Queen of Wands | Courage, determination, joy | OBJ's dual staves make him ready to attack this week. He's going to look good, even if the Giants don't. |
