From a psychological angle, this makes a lot of sense. When decision-makers face high-stakes uncertainty, the brain craves structure. Carl Jung’s concept of synchronicity comes to mind—meaningful coincidences that aren’t causally linked but feel deeply significant. Under extreme stress, leaders might interpret astrological transits as a way to impose narrative order on chaos. I’m not saying the stars are actually moving troops. But the psychological scaffolding is real. Researcher Michael Shermer wrote extensively about how humans naturally fall for apophenia—seeing patterns in random data when under pressure. It’s less about literal cosmic causality and more about cognitive load management. Divination gives the brain a framework to process the unprocessable.

In my own practice, I’ve noticed how tarot mirrors this exact dynamic. Pulling the Wheel of Fortune isn’t about predicting a literal policy shift; it’s a mirror for cyclical momentum. When you’re staring down a geopolitical freefall, any tool that forces you to sit with uncertainty—rather than pretend you have total control—is functionally useful. That’s where the overlap between divination and applied psychology lives.

I’m definitely not endorsing the leaked claims as gospel. The sourcing is murky, and correlation doesn’t equal causation. But if even a fraction of it holds up, it’s less about occult supremacy and more about human nature. We’ve always reached for the sky when the ground shakes. Curious how others are reading this—do you see it as a genuine strategic layer, or just stress-induced pattern matching?
