The Pinnacle Year
And a wacky prediction
Displacing the 8 of Diamonds
When we displace the 8 of Diamonds for a year, or for 7 years, it turns into a Pinnacle year or years where we achieve a culmination of great importance. This can be in our work or in other areas of our life. It is the peak point that symbolizes a rising up to the highest point.
Many people who displace the 8 of Diamonds will either step into their highest roles, or like a peak, they will step down from their highest roles.
Bill Clinton, a double 7 of Clubs and Jack of Clubs was displacing the 8 of Diamonds the year he came into his 1st term on January 20th, 1993. He also had an Ace of Spades Result that year. In his Decanate Ruling Spread, he had a 10 of Hearts Environment card, the party card of the deck, but also a card that keeps you socially in the middle of everything and in the public eye.
George Bush Sr. had the 8 of Diamonds Displacement the year he ended his 1st and only term as president in 1993. The 8 of Diamonds was his result card for the year as well. He also had a 9 of Diamonds Environment card for the year making it easy to let go of his job or something highly valued.
George W. Bush, a 9 of Diamonds/Jack of Clubs and King of Clubs, had the 8 of Diamonds displacement in the middle of his 1st term. It coincided with his 2nd highest approval rating during his 2 term stay.
Barak Obama, a double 9 of Diamonds and Jack of Diamonds had the 8 of Diamonds Displacement just a few months after his second term in his Jack of Diamonds Decanate Ruling Spread. Like Bush Sr, he also had a 9 of Diamonds Environment card that year, making it easy to let go.
Donald Trump, a 3 of Diamonds/Ace of Spades and 9 of Clubs, had the 8 of Diamonds Displacement during the year he left office in his Ace of Spades Spread. Trump had a 9 of Diamonds Long Range Card this year as well, representing that letting go or endings would be a focus for the year.
So we see that we can hit our peak during this time by stepping up or stepping down from a high position or achievement.
Before Walz was announced as the running mate to Harris, I was really trying to figure out who could possibly pop up to partner with her. So, as this moment has passed, I still wanted to share this article as I think it will be interesting to observe how a pinnacle year can play out.
This brought me to Michelle Obama’s spread coming up for her next birthday.
She was born January 17th, 1964 and is a 10 of Diamonds/5 of Hearts and 8 of Spades. In her 5 of Hearts spread for her next birthday (age 61), she will be displacing the 8 of Diamonds. Her birthday is 3 days before the 2025 Presidential inauguration where she will be in her Mercury period playing the King of Spades/10 of Diamonds and 6 of Spades. I wonder if she gets brought into a very prominent role somehow?
The King of Spades in Mercury can give you the power to take the lead and sit in a position of high authority. You can get what you want when you have the King of Spades, he is the King of Kings, the King of work, the King of life.
Paired with the 10 of Diamonds which is the most blessed card, this can help her become the center of attention, shining like 10 spotlights. This is kind of a windfall card when in Mercury, usually indicating a lot of money coming in because of the speed of Mercury. But on a deeper level, the 10 of Diamonds sits in the middle of the entire Grand Solar Spread, with everyone around them noticing them. They just need to open themselves up to the blessings they are due to receive.
The 6 of Spades gives this period a very fated quality and could represent her work destiny or karma.
Change of career or location benefits her in Jupiter
She has the ultimate move card, the 5 of Spades in Jupiter tied to a direct 10 of Hearts. The 10 of Hearts shows up a lot when we have gotten married (indicating a big wedding), or when we have won a championship (championship rally) or when we are the center of attention and socially very successful. She benefits from changing jobs or physical location with the 5 of Spades in Jupiter.
Also notice she has the 8 of Diamonds as her Pluto card for the year. As a Pluto and displacement, there is going to be a lot of energy directed at this 8 of Diamonds. In Pluto, the 8 of Diamonds would speak to her being challenged to find her financial power. She would need to apply considerable attention to getting clear on her relationship and approach with money. However, another interpretation would be that she has challenges with the fame and the fortune that comes with being in the spotlight and she needs to step into this power. The 8 of Diamonds at its best weaves together values for the entire community or tribe, it puts together solutions that help us heal.
Her 10 of Diamonds Spread has a lot of social success cards.
Looking at her 10 of Diamonds spread, I just want to point out she has the 10 of Hearts in Jupiter and as her Result Card. When the card is our result, you know you will end up with that by the end of the year. So in some ways she will be a focus of media attention or be very successful socially. I also notice a lot of past presidents having this card with them many times during their presidency.
She also has the 8 of Hearts as a displacement. This is going to give her extra charm and charisma to get her way - especially in male dominated industries. However, the 8 of Hearts as a displacement also starts a 2 year cycle of good fortune, fame and recognition. This is due to her having 3 Crown line periods (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) and the 8 of Hearts is a Jupiter Column card in the Grand Solar Spread which makes for a blessed year by itself.
Also notice that her good Karma for the year is the 5 of Spades, meaning change of job, home location or lifestyle will be easy and beneficial for her this year. And lastly, she has the 8 of Diamonds as a long range. This does not guarantee anything, but she has a lot of 8 of Diamonds influence this upcoming year.
Her 8 of Spades Spread has the 8 of Diamonds in her yearly Mercury period
Very briefly and quickly Michelle will have this 8 of Diamonds energy present in her first 52 days of the year. This should give her more than enough power during this period to be successful, especially financially.
It will be interesting to observe if anything significant happens with her!
