Stimulus Check Divination

Hey folks, in light of current circumstances around the events of the covid 19 outbreak I felt like it might be interesting to post a divination using Rory’s Story Cubes ( the classic orange box set, the “action” set and the “voyage” set) to determine the general outlook of the events surrounding the issuing of a second round of stimulus checks to US citizens. I haven’t been reading anything regarding this situation on any digital news platforms and I don’t watch television so I feel my perspective on this issue can be clearer if I stay away from anything discussing this issue in any media. I did however read an article online yesterday on the CNBC website yesterday evening but that’s about the extent of my exposure.

As you can see in the photo above I pulled a random selection of story cubes and cast them to provide some info on the situation. Before casting I did combine all three sets of cubes into one bag and gave them a good shake beforehand. Each set contains nine cubes totaling 27 cubes in my whole collection. I came across these cubes at my local Target store and instantly fell in love with them! You can purchase these on their website which I have linked for you, or you can grab them at Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, etc. The great thing about these dice is that they don’t come with a predetermined sheet or booklet telling you what the symbols mean so you’re free to use them as you see fit! I believe their original intention was to use them to provide creative inspiration for storytelling. I figured they would be a neat way to perform divination using modern symbols and this isn’t a far stretch if you’re familiar with using Norse runes, Witch runes, Bone divination or any sort of casting method that doesn’t involve cards. Let’s get to the results shall we?

So in regards to the general outlook I immediately see a reconvening or “gathering” of those who work to discuss passing/denying this second stimulus check but at a more leisurely pace because the need for another check is generally considered a necessity in some form but I believe there’s a disagreement if the amount stipulated with the sending of the first check should remain the same or if it should be reduced. It appears that multiple “round table” discussions are going to be necessary to reach any consensus on the matter and there are likely multiple delays before any of us US citizens gets a green or red light. I keep seeing a fair amount of resistance to this check being issued either in whole or at least making the criteria for who qualifies and how much they qualify to receive more restrictive than the first round. I also see indications that anyone coming to an agreement seems to have difficulty in “diving deep”, discussing and becoming aware of just how much this second check is needed or at least an understanding of everyone involved in passing this bill is unaware of the true depth of the economic hardships many are experiencing and having a birds eye view to provide clarity is quite difficult to acquire considering many of those who have the authority and power to pass this bill are likely not as affected as others in the middle and lower class, doesn’t surprise me. It’s like trying to explain what living with chronic depression is like to someone who’s never been depressed and could easily confuse “feeling blue” as genuinely experiencing depression on a serious level or depth. Also I believe that a sort of reconnaissance is happening as to give those in power a better idea of how the middle and lower class people at “ground level” are experiencing and dealing with this crises and it’s impact overall which looks to provide a crucial understanding of things and how best to implement the passing of this stimulus check or even to assist in considering another more effective approach to this if necessary. Seems sensible honestly. Lastly, it appears to me that delays in the conclusion of whether a check gets sent out should be expected as it doesn’t seem to be much of a rush or at least the pace to a conclusion will be slower than expected and an issuing of a check will arrive later than many expected as indicated by the turtle and the bridge respectively. Basically “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it but we aren’t going to rush and instead use appropriate pacing”. I believe that stance is helpful in a way and also unhelpful. To me this slow pace to come to a decision is in part to really gather more information to make an informed decision considering this pandemic and the uncertainty. I feel those in power also have opposition in opinions on whether “the people” really need more financial assistance or perhaps if another approach can or will work better either in tandem to the stimulus check or in place of it. I believe the energetic resistance I’m picking up really says alot about the pace at which this decision is made and it’s likely to me to come to a head right before the end of the year or shortly after January is my impression. However timelines are difficult to predict in general so I’m not going to place any hard and fast timelines here.

So there we have it folks! Feel free to leave a comment or discuss with me your divination results on this issue.
