The headlines say peace is holding between Israel and Hamas, but the energy behind it feels complicated, careful, even strategic.
In this Tarot Brief, we look at the cards surrounding this uneasy peace and the Four of Coins, which may reveal how control and influence shape the path forward.

Sometimes peace isn’t about surrender, it’s about who’s still holding the power. 
As of writing this episode, they are at it again with going back and forth with each other. The grown-ups in the room definitely didn't show up. Remember, this is all for entertainment purposes only.

and see what the cards reveal about the stories everyone's
talking about now. On the headline, the tension between Israel
and Moas never really disappears, It just shifts, shimmering beneath

(00:21):
the surface. After decades of conflict, both sides carry deep scars,
generations of grief, and a longing for something that resembles safety.
Recent talks, temporary truthas and humanitarian efforts have offered flickers
of hope, fragile but real. Still one question lingers Can
that hopehold or will the cycle repeat itself as it

(00:45):
has so many times before? And from what I gather,
Hamas will still be patrolling the streets and Israel will
eventually resume attacks on Hamas's infrastructure, so we'll see. Trump
doesn't seem to know what a two state solution is,
so there's that too. But today we're not predicting world events.
We're just looking into the energy that's present in the

(01:06):
collective field between these two forces and reveal what's behind
the potential for peace and if the ceasefire holds the
three of coins in the past position tells us that
cooperation has been possible, even if only in brief, careful moments.
This is the card of teamwork, negotiation, and craftsmanship. It
speaks to small groups of people who have tried, often quietly,

(01:29):
to build something better amidst the noise of politics and fear.
There has been real effort, it just hasn't always been visible.
In the present, we get the will of fortune upright,
and this shows that we're at a turning point. This
is the fate in motion, a reminder that no cycle
lasts forever. The energy around this card feels transitional, as

(01:50):
though the universe itself is offering a moment of opportunity,
a change to shift the narrative even slightly. The question
is will those and powers take that chance or let
the will spin back towards old patterns. And in the
future position, we have the Queen of Coins reversed and
a nurturing energy has been depleted. This could represent the

(02:13):
humanitarian strain people, communities and leaders who are tired, over extended,
and struggling to sustain compassion under the weight of exhaustion.
The reverse queen says that peace requires care, and right
now that care is running low. Altogether, the cards paint
a picture of fragile collaboration, divine timing, and emotional fatigue.

(02:36):
The energy of peace is there. It's not gone, but
it's tired. The foundation exists, but it needs nourishment, attention,
and real compassion to survive. If there's a message here,
it's this, The future isn't fixed. Every choice made now,
every gesture of understanding or restraint, helps turn the will

(02:57):
a little more towards healing. Perhaps the question isn't will
peace hold? But will we hold peace? And with all
that said, I also wanted to pull a card on
Donald Trump to see what the card said about him
showing up in Israel for the ceasefire, if it was
really just off for show or did he really have
some meaning behind what he was doing. And the card

(03:20):
that I pulled to was the fourth Coins, and it
shows a man sitting alone, holding the coins tightly, one
under each foot, one in his hands, and one balanced
on his head. He's stable, but he's not moving. He's grounded,
but he's guarded. And I couldn't help but think about
Trump's recent trip to Israel, and the headline says he

(03:41):
helped Burger peace a twenty point plan hostages released a
ceasefire in place. But the fourth coins tells us a
different story about the kind of energy behind it. Card
isn't really about generosity. It's about control, holding on to
what's yours, keeping things secure, and protecting your position. That
can be resources, money, or even influence. It's the energy

(04:05):
of someone negotiating from a place of caution but not compassion.
So when we look at those headlines through that lens,
it feels less like open handed diplomacy and more like strategy,
like someone thinking about legacy, leverage and what stays under
their control. The four coins doesn't say that that's wrong

(04:26):
or right. It shows the energy of the moment, protective, careful,
and maybe a little possessive, and that's what's driving the
peace progress right now. It means progress could stall unless
someone is willing to let go a little, to trust
and to take a risk, because as long as everyone's
holding tight, nothing moves, and peace, real peace needs room

(04:49):
to breathe. So all these cards are right. Peace at
least for now, is real, but fragile. It's built on
careful control, on strategy, and on peace people holding their
ground more than reaching out. And as for Trump, the
four of Coins reminds us that while holding on can
create stability, it can also stop progress. For true lasting

(05:11):
piece to take root in politics, relationships, or even within ourselves,
someone eventually has to loosen their grip because control might
create order, but trust is what creates peace. And as
of writing this, I have just discovered that while there's
still a ceasefire, they just can't help themselves by going

(05:32):
tip for tat. Just blows my mind that grown adults
can act this way. Well, this has been terror Brief
where the headlines 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.
