Dreams and Visions - Tarot Advisory: Who Will Become the Next "American Idol?"

The cards that represent Jordin are two Major Arcana cards and
one from the suit of Pentacles. Major Arcana cards carry more
weight in a spread, so I am immediately drawn to this side of the
layout. When Major Arcana cards are the dominant suit, there is
a sense of fate and destiny in the situation.
The first card, the Tower, is the element of surprise, the
unexpected. I find it interesting this card is on the side that
represents Jordin. I see this as the shocking ouster of front runner
Melinda Doolittle,which shook things up, and which could be
the thing that paves the way for Jordin to win.
The second, the Hermit, usually speaks of maturity and
experience. I see this as a card that is talking about Jordin's
growth as a performer, which has been commented on during
the show's progression this season. Comments have been made
that she carries herself with more maturity that belies her
seventeen years of age.
The last, the Ace of Pentacles, signals the beginning stages of a
new career or commercial venture. Pentacles are associated with
finances, and this one can suggest the possibility of a large cash
windfall.
The cards look very promising for Jordin.

Now, let's look at the cards for Blake.
The first, the Hierophant, is a Major Arcana card. As with the
Tower and the Hermit on Jordin's side, this carries extra weight.
For Blake, I see this card as gaining approval and a loyal fan
following. I also see this as conservatism and tradition. I think, in
Blake's case, this would suggest that the "Idol" machine would
want him to conform to a certain image. He is trying to break
the mold (remember the dying of the hair to black with the
blond stripe?), and that might work against him.
The next two are from the suit of Wands. Wands are about
work, enterprise, creativity, as well as our self and public image.
Blake is the one who has been known for taking creative risks
when covering the music he's chosen. Again, this is going
against the norm, breaking tradition, and sometimes it can work
for you, and at times work against you.
The first of these two cards is the 9 of Wands. This card is a
conflict card. First, going with the theme of self and/or public
image, this card is the "don't mess with me" card. Again, I see
there would be a conflict as to the image Blake wants of himself
and that of the people behind "Idol."
This card is the opposite of the Tower, which was on Jordin's
side. This card is about being prepared for what is to come. This
card says,"It's no surprise, I saw it coming."
The last card, the 2 of Wands is a planning card. It says one
must begin making plans for the future. I like the picture on this
card, from this deck. A man is walking on a path. Before him, it
splits into two divergent paths, going in two different directions.
I see this as Blake needing to make a choice as to how he wants
to proceed with his career; does he want to do it the "Idol" way,
or his own?

Overall, I see the cards as suggesting that Jordin will be the next
American Idol. Incidentally, my attention was drawn to the final
cards in each column, to the numbers on the card. Jordin's is an
Ace, which is the number one. Blake's is number two. Could this
be Tarot's way of saying Jordin will be coming in first place and
Blake second place?
Also, I can't help that Blake knows this as well, with the 9 and 2
of Wands in his row. He somehow knows how things will turn
out, and he may already be making career choices with this
outcome in mind.
