Hi, I'm Cindy, and this is teroh brief the short readings,

and see what the cards reveal about the stories everyone's
talking about now. On the headline lately, I've been seeing
disturbing post online asking whether Snap Benefits food stamps might

(00:22):
run out in November. With the government shut down dragging on,
this essential program is being used as political leverage, leaving
forty two million Americans, including seniors, children, caught in the middle.
The average recipient gets just one hundred and eighty seven
dollars a month for groceries. Meanwhile, people are turning to
dollar tree meals and box dinners just to get by,

(00:45):
not out of nostalgia, but necessity. Just like Fox News
was giddy over the Hamburger helper. It's crazy as the
holidays approach, I can't help but wonder this crisis steepens,
will fear and desperation lead to a run on grocery stores?
So I ask the cards in the past, present and
future spread Will this lead to panic, a run on

(01:07):
grocery stores as people brace for scarity for the past,
I got the eight of Cups upright, and this card
shows a quiet walking away, not from defeat, but from disillusionment.
It feels like many people have already emotionally detached from
expecting the system to protect them. There's a sense of
we've been here before. People are tired of promises that

(01:30):
don't sustain. The aid of cups often signals a quiet preparation,
people deciding to rely on themselves rather than waiting for
help that never comes. So the emotional groundwork for panic buying,
it's already been laid. But it's not driven by chaos.
It's driven by survival instinct. For the President, I got

(01:50):
the star upright. This is a beautiful card to appear
in the center. It speaks of faith, resilience, and community.
The star reminds us that even in uncertainty, there's a
current of hope and innovation running through the collective. Instead
of panic. We may see more people sharing resources, forming
co ops, trading locally, or looking for new ways to

(02:14):
support one another. The star says, stay grounded, stay kind,
We'll get through this together. It's a reminder that compassion
and resourcefulness are stronger than fear. In the future, I
got the herofint reversed and this card flips the traditional
systems of power and control on their head. The herophint
reverse suggests a breakdown of rejection of institutional trust, especially

(02:38):
government and economic systems. It's a people over policy energy.
This could show individuals and communities stepping outside of conventional
systems to create their own safety nets when they feel
abandoned by the establishment. So, yes, there might be some
scattered panic, but more importantly, there's going to be innovation,

(02:59):
local action, and a questioning of authority. People aren't just
buying extra they're breaking away from dependency on structures that
no longer serve them. This reading feels less like a
prediction of chaos and more like a turning point, a
wake up call. If the benefits change, it will reveal
how fragile the system really is, but also how strong

(03:21):
people can be when they're forced to adapt. The aid
of cups walks away, the star rebuilds, and the hair
of fent reversed refuses to play by outdated rules. That's
not collapse, that's transformation. So if you're feeling anxious about
food or finances this month, take a breath, plan smartly,

(03:43):
support your local farmers, and remember that fear feeds scarcity,
but hope multiplies abundance. Remember to take care of those
around you that you love, because sometimes the most radical
act of security is believing that we'll find a new
way together. This has been Terror Brief, where the headlines

(04:03):
meet the cards. Until next time, I'm Cindy, reminding you
that the truth always finds its way out, one shovel
at a time. I'll see you in the next one.
