From Emperor to Exile: A Card-by-Card Collapse
A "No-Fluff" Tarot Timeline of Tangerine’s Fall
Something in the air feels final. And I don’t mean your usual petty tantrum or late-night rage post. This feels fated. The cards have been whispering it for weeks, and this time? They roared. I sat down and did a full six-part tarot deep dive — we’re talking full autopsy — on what’s happening with Tangerine, what’s coming, who’s betraying, when he falls, and what the hell karma’s got cooking for dessert. Buckle up. This isn’t metaphor. This is prophecy in stilettos.
Here’s how I structured the reading:
We asked 19 razor-sharp questions, pulling one card for each. This is organized into 6 strategic "Rounds," each with a specific focus, deck used: Find Your Magic Tarot.
Round 1: Where’s His Head At? (Current mental, emotional, and physical state)
Round 2: The Scandal Spiral (What’s breaking, who flips, and how the media eats him alive)
Round 3: Health vs. Legal Collapse (What hits first, and what’s being hidden)
Round 4: Timing the Fall (When the dominoes drop, what triggers it, and how it ends)
Round 5: Allies & Enemies (Who walks away, who turns into a rival, and who’s cutting deals)
Round 6: Legacy and Karmic Fate (How history sees him, what myth he becomes, and where his soul goes next)
ROUND 1: Where’s His Head At?
Questions Asked:
What is Tangerine’s current emotional, mental, and physical state?
What is his biggest fear right now?
What is he desperately hiding from the public?
Card 1: 8 of Cups This card shows an elderly witch watching ghostly cups float on a screen, surrounded by bags, an umbrella cane, and emotional clutter. It screams dissociation. He’s living in a fantasy replay loop, detached from the present, emotionally bankrupt. It’s giving cognitive decline. It’s giving burnout. It’s giving “I once had it all” nostalgia while his cat hides under the couch.
Normally this card is about leaving the mess behind and moving on, but this deck has an unique take. This is tremendous mental fog, cognitive issues and dementia that is causing unclear thoughts as well as rapid senility.
Card 2: The Empress Now this version of the Empress is fascinating. It doesn’t show a benevolent queen cradling abundance — it shows two older women calmly watching a child get what it wants. They’re not impressed. They’re letting the tantrum play out, almost in a “let them burn out” kind of way.
This is how he fears people see him now — a spoiled, overgrown child being indulged just long enough to collapse under his own weight.
His biggest fear? Not being seen as the alpha provider or emperor anymore. That ribbon-covered pumpkin is a trophy from a past era. He’s terrified of being irrelevant, being replaced, being uncrowned — especially by women, by family, by legacy. The Empress card reflects not only power, but also judgment through patience — the ultimate parental energy of, “let him flail.”
Card 3: Queen of Pentacles Let’s talk about this queen. She’s sipping wine, looking unbothered, watching things implode from a velvet throne. But here’s what matters most: there’s a ghostly hand pouring her drink — from the mirror. This is a massive clue.
It implies:
She’s not acting alone. There’s a hidden force or reflection — possibly an ally, possibly a projection of her own power — helping her stay fueled.
The mirror as metaphor — this woman reflects back what he projects. She’s the karma mirror, pouring wine he brewed himself. Every lie, every ego trip — she lets him drink it.
Power from the shadows — she may not be front and center, but she’s never truly alone. Whoever she is (a prosecutor, a strategist, a former inner-circle woman?), she’s charged with receipts and divinely backed.
This card suggests Tangerine is hiding someone very dangerous to him — someone quietly empowered, with resources, influence, and mirrored vengeance.
ROUND 2: The Scandal Spiral
Questions Asked:
4. What scandal or exposure is about to break in the next week?
5. Who in his circle is about to turn on him?
6. What role does the media play in what’s coming?
7. Is there betrayal from someone in his inner circle?
Card 4: 8 of Wands Imagine magical missiles flying across the sky while crowds panic below. That’s the energy. This card screams: Incoming scandal barrage. This isn’t a one-and-done leak. This is a coordinated strike. Think lawsuits, subpoenas, breaking news alerts coming in like machine gun fire.
Card 5: The Magician Let’s talk about the wildcard here — because this card could go two ways. On the surface, it’s the fixer, the strategist, the one turning against him from inside the machinery. Someone smart, possibly tech-connected, a PR expert, lawyer, or former aide with deep knowledge. They’re building a precision takedown. Expect a podcast, a data leak, or a tell-all. They don’t need to scream. They have proof.
But let’s dig deeper. The Magician has layers — and in the world of power and intimidation, this could be someone Tangerine fears. Someone who controls illusion, information, and pressure from behind a diplomatic mask.
Yes, it could be someone like Putin.
Why? Because The Magician holds control over multiple elements — fire, water, air, earth. This isn’t just a strategist. It’s someone who knows everything about Tangerine’s weaknesses, debts, and dirty laundry. The one who helped elevate him, and could just as easily dismantle him with a flick of the wand. The smirk on the Magician’s face? It’s the look of someone holding a file labeled “leverage.”
If it is Putin, this card says: he’s not making noise yet — but he’s watching, and he’s preparing a move. Whether it’s sabotage, silence, or exposure, Tangerine knows this man could end him with one revelation.
Also I always saw him taking him down with him when he will be a cornered snake and we are almost there.
Card 6: 5 of Swords This card? Devastating. A man sits naked in a bathtub, surrounded by floating candles and ghostly flames — haunted by guilt. The media’s role? Utter emotional strip-down. Not just scandal — humiliation. This is the public learning who he really is. Possibly mental health issues, emotional abuse, or private communications that pull the curtain back hard.
Card 7: 10 of Cups Oh, and betrayal? It’s coming from someone inside the image of family. The card shows a woman gossiping with friends on a couch — nothing dramatic, but potent. It’s gossip with teeth. A soft betrayal that detonates everything. Someone close is whispering, and it changes public perception permanently.
ROUND 3: Health vs. Legal Collapse
Questions Asked:
8. Will his downfall begin with a health issue or legal action?
9. Is there a stroke, hospitalization, or mental break already happening?
10. What legal trap is actively being set right now?
This part was probably the most screaming “on my face” answer and I am actually amazed at how great this part was.
Card 8: The Star A man in a hospital bed with stars all around him and an IV in his arm. Literal. This isn’t metaphor. Health hits first. Whether it’s a stroke, mental breakdown, or sudden collapse — it’s happening behind the scenes. He may post selfies and fake optimism, but it’s bad.
This card is normally represented very differently in other decks, but in this deck it shows the hospital bed, an IV drip hooked and the person still feeling optimism about his dreams! In this case it shows delusion instead of optimism along with the other cards that showed up.
Card 9: 7 of Swords This confirms it’s being covered up. The card shows a smug man stabbing a pink voodoo doll in the chest — and the doll itself is sewn shut, eyes buttoned, stitched tightly like a secret sealed up with thread and ritual. It’s not just pain — it’s long-term suppression.
This isn’t a fresh act of sabotage; it’s been planned, stitched, and contained like a liability he doesn’t want escaping. There’s sabotage, secrets, and manipulation. This could point to heart issues or a covert health crisis they’re spinning like it’s nothing. It’s a calculated lie.
Card 10: King of Cups Now THIS man is slick. Calm, composed, and serving drinks like he’s hosting a dinner party — but he’s really setting a trap. He’s not just smiling — he’s sipping wine with unnerving grace, flanked by gold flatware and a menu of subtle consequences. His robe and brooch? Regal. His hand positioning? Master of ceremonies energy. He’s staged every detail of the room like a courtroom in disguise.
This isn’t some emotional advisor. This is a prosecutor in disguise — someone who wraps the knife in velvet. A male legal figure — judge, ethics enforcer, foreign watchdog — is already building a case with charm and precision. This card practically screams “white-collar indictment dressed as hospitality.”
This has foreign gifts, money laundering, or campaign finance violations written all over it. It’s being set like a place setting — but the meal? It's justice, cold and garnished.
ROUND 4: Timing the Fall
Questions Asked:
11. When does the true collapse begin?
12. What is the final triggering event?
13. How does it actually end — resignation, arrest, or incapacitation?
Card 11: 9 of Pentacles Virgo Season. Late August to September. A woman surrounded by floating mushrooms and cozy luxury. The vibe? Quiet rot. This collapse won’t be fireworks — it’s slow, natural, fungal. Once it starts, there’s no stopping it. She knows. She’s just waiting for the spores to spread.
Card 12: 2 of Pentacles The final straw? A dumbass gamble. This card shows a dice game. He rolls too many dice. Juggles too many scandals. He places one bet too many — probably involving money, foreign influence, or a bad alliance — and the whole circus falls.
Card 13: 6 of Cups How it ends? A quiet emotional exit. Not jail, not a bang. A vanishing act framed as nostalgia. The public story will be “he’s stepping away to reflect,” or “for family reasons.” But we’ll all know — he’s gone. That’s it.
ROUND 5: Allies & Enemies
Questions Asked:
14. Who within his inner circle or support base will abandon him?
15. Is Snake (Elon) or another major figure about to publicly break with him?
16. Is there a secret deal being made behind the scenes to neutralize him?
Card 14: 6 of Pentacles Someone who was supporting him financially or legally walks away. A handler, donor, or doctor says, “We’re done here.” The card shows a man calmly weighing gold on scales and signing papers. No emotion. Just cutting ties.
Card 15: 5 of Wands Oh Snake? Snake is in full combat mode. This is fencing energy — public feuds, backroom sabotage. They mirror each other. They spar. Expect Elon or a similar tech/billionaire figure to publicly split or undercut him. It’s war — just with cleaner branding.
Card 16: 6 of Swords Behind the scenes, though? A quiet deal is being made. The card shows an embrace — not romantic, but strategic. Someone is saying: “Let’s get him out without a mess.” It’s an emotional negotiation, not a takedown. But it ends the story all the same.
ROUND 6: Karmic Fate & Legacy
Questions Asked:
17. How will the public remember his fall?
18. What mythic archetype best represents his fate?
19. What karmic or soul-level result comes from this?
Card 17: The World This is where it ends. A nude woman in a bath, flowers around her. Peace. Completion. The public sees his exit as a relief. A collective exhale. No drama. Just... done.
Card 18: The Hanged Man He becomes the Deluded Martyr. Hung up in his own myths, watching the world move on. He doesn’t fight. He just lingers — suspended, disconnected, irrelevant.
Card 19: 3 of Wands His karma? Exile. The card shows a woman leaving a home with a cat, boxes, and her keys. It’s not tragic. It’s overdue. His soul is being gently kicked out of the spotlight and told: Don’t come back. We’re done here.
Final Thoughts:
This isn’t speculative. It’s choreographed downfall. The health decline. The betrayals. The soft exit disguised as reflection. Tangerine is spiraling in slow motion, and the universe has already packed his boxes.
We’re watching it in real time.
Stay tuned. The scissors are in hand. The final string is waiting to be cut.
I have an unusual candidate for whom the Magician might represent, Broom: Zelenskyy. I know, I know, out of left field but hear me out.
Both Putin and [ ] are in a symbiotic, mutually destructive relationship. My man Moviebob Chipman would describe it as a Faustian deal "where both sides think they're Mephistopholes." Everything I keep seeing says they will fall together and are less the masters of the universe they want everyone to think they are.
But Zelenskyy? Knows them both, inside out. Knows their weaknesses and how to play them. And through force of will (another Magician staple) has kept his country alive three years longer than Putin expected. So...what if he makes a move that topples both of them in one stroke? Putin falls and, as you say, takes [ ] with him.
Card 18: The Hanged Man He becomes the Deluded Martyr. Hung up in his own myths, watching the world move on. He doesn’t fight. He just lingers — suspended, disconnected, irrelevant. This fits in with my wish that the stroke that takes him out is on the left side, rendering him unable to speak, or use his R side.
