JOAN BERNAL- UPDATED 3RD JUNE 2012

Joan Bernal
Missing since December 9, 1988 from Joliet, Illinois

In December 1988, Joan was slated to go on a trip with her husband to Edinburg, Texas. Investigators said they believe that Gilbert Bernal killed his wife on December 9, 1988, after quarreling about taking her children on a planned trip to Texas. The couple had five children from previous relationships and one child together. Bernal made the trip with their 2-year-old daughter and reported his wife missing when he returned two weeks later. Bernal told investigators that she went on the trip but felt bad about leaving her children and wanted to go back home to see them. Bernal said he gave his wife $1,500 before she boarded a Joliet-bound bus in McAllister, Oklahoma. But investigators found that she never made the trip.

Bernal was charged with Joan's murder in 1993. Before she disappeared, Joan apparently told a relative of her husband's threat. He allegedly said he could kill her and put her in a barrel and make sure nobody would find her. The arrest followed a variety of leads, including information provided by a witness who saw the quarrel that led to the slaying.

Witnesses said Bernal was a violent man. Often, Joan and her children would spend the night in a battered women's shelter. Bernal's son said he saw his father choking his stepmother shortly before she disappeared. According to court records, the son said he, his father, stepmother and infant sister set out on a Texas trip but turned around and returned to Crest Hill on December 9, 1988.

He says he waited in the car while the couple went into their house and he watched through a window while his father and stepmother quarreled. He told police that the couple fought and Bernal grabbed his wife by the throat and then put her body on a bed when she appeared to lose consciousness. He said Bernal returned to the car and the three drove away without the woman. Joan Bernal's body was never found.

The indictment hinged in large part on the relative's barrel-related testimony, coupled with other witnesses who said Bernal purchased two such barrels shortly before the alleged murder. Only one of the barrels was found in his garage.

But, charges against Bernal were dropped 11 months later after investigators still couldn't find a body and witnesses said Joan was seen in Chicago Heights and Tennessee. The last alleged sighting was in December 1992. Bernal claims Joan is still alive and that she's living in either Tennessee or Kentucky.
Joan was a driver with the Joliet Mass Transit District.



Please note that tarot will pick up TRENDS /VIBRATIONS of PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE - it will pick up anything that is 'out there' true news or false news - either way it can throw light on what is 'in the air' - please bear this in mind when you are reading the insights.

It is very important that 'readers' of the blog understand this, therefore one has to be very discerning when reading. Media news can put out stories that are not factual or are pre -mediated but Tarot can pick that up. It does,nt mean that tarot is wrong, it shows tarot can see what might be suggested. However when writing the tarot it may be taken as fact.

Tarot does not have all the answers or claim to solve issues. All it can do is show what it feels may be of USE or point out possibilities.

JOAN BERNAL
2ND JUNE 2012

I have had a request to look at Tarot for Joan Bernal who disappeared in 1988. Tarot is likely to pick up circumstances if the information above is correct as Tarot is written to include possible past present and future trends. Joan has not been found but maybe Tarot might throw light on location. All I can do is write what I see. Please remember Tarot is not considered 100 per cent accurate by law and to always seek out other factual sources.



This first card for Joan does appear to show a a person possibly male in a negative light. Here we have characteristics that show irresponsible, impatient, timid, insecure traits. A very jealous and cowardly situation appears here. On this card I would be looking at a business vehicle OR a car with possible engine problems perhaps or some link to that or her work. Maybe somebody was jealous of her and her capabilities?

This card makes me feel that her life was blocked through many problems. Here the home is insecure, her health is insecure and the lack of security and comfort in her life appears to be very much exposed in this card. However, this is a card also of 'not going anywhere'. Its also a card that could let us know that somebody might want a fresh start because everything is a mess. Somebody here might even be 'out of a job' or there was a problem with cash or employment. Maybe someone withdrew from life and relationships altogether.

The other feeling here is that the woman is the center of the home but the trends show me that there is a man here who wanted to be in control of finances and might even have been wasteful of them. This person likes to control other peoples lives and maybe make people bend to his will. However, this may not always be a spouse it could be to do with work or a twisted type of businessman and if not it would be to do with a work/financial issue as this card seems to tell us that someone is not accounting correctly. All property and tax and financial affairs can come up here and so can properties that we live in or that we have left.

So maybe there are paperwork details here that are missing?
This card can often show someone who has 'darker skin' and therefore could be of an ethnic background . I just see that shortage of cash because this card can tell us that there is not enough money for food, money, shelter, or clothing, and also there is a lack of good companionship.

The feeling I have is of not feeling safe. I do seem to see problems regarding Employment for someone.

Im also seeing pets, perhaps dogs, small animals or farmland in this card. A leaning towards North as the name or direction of a place but being South West in the area or that coming up?. Im also seeing some kind of place that business run from hence I feel a 'work' atmosphere? I also note 'drug stores' come up and wonder if someone had something wrong with their stomach or had felt ill or unwell.

Storage places, agricultural elements, even cornfields can show up here. Someone could be described here of average height, slender build, straight, angular features. Thin lips, high forehead small piercing eyes. Hair dark, quick light movement.
Also a connection to places where you store or repair things. I also feel a leaning towards situations that are 'not done by the book'.
This card can show someone under 32 and they appear to be lazy or unmotivated. Perhaps two people here where one is not willing to co operate. I am not sure that I see this card as being Joan but I do feel that she is 'thrown out' or somehow is evicted from a property? or that property security is affected in someway. Has a garden been searched?
I have the word Falcon here.

The number 12 does show up. That can add up to a three or even 21 so perhaps those numbers may be useful somewhere. I do think there are many problems here and that the outcome is rather drastic. The King is showing a very severe person who likes to have his home and business run in a certain way. He does not like it if others do not fall into line. So the King would be someone who has tendency towards vindictiveness. This would affect the health and comfort and security of anyone around them.

Perhaps this is the husband but there is still elements here that make me feel there is a difference between control and murder? as these cards can show a lot of cowardice. Whether that incites doing something terrible to Joan or whether it is the opposite it still comes up here. The female element refuses to be the wife in the same way that is required of her so its a complicated set of affairs but it does seem on the surface that security and health is threatened in these cards.



Joans suggested location is being described as being somewhere near water. Here you can see that we have the page of cups and links to fishermen and waterways perhaps in name or place. It seems that this card has a number 11 or 2 if added together on it. May be a route area. The direction here seems to be West. However, there may be an M or W name here.

The word Bell might come up. All water elements link strongly. We could think about the ocean, the sea, rivers brooks ponds anything to do with water. Also fear of threat, confined spaces, basements/cellars or somewhere dark can come up here so can the word ' DAY'. Green hill and possibly a lake. A music name could also come up.

Now this card could actually say that Joan is somewhere unexpected . I dont know that it is far from home with the home card so nearby but seems to attach to the word 'home' or town of origin in some way. Maybe she is in another town that became her home, if that was true then it would give rise to the fact that she took off to somewhere new. However, if that was the case I do not think that there should be searches at all as if one has had troubles in the past perhaps its best to leave things alone. However, this is also a card of imagination, so it could suggest that messages that say that Joan had a new start are unfounded. So I would consider very carefully other aspects of location. North West is strongest here and there are spirtual elements here .

It could be pointing to a 'church name'. Also to take into account is the ever present water names or the fact that it still is prominent. Seashores, coastlines, etc. This card is also a sign of water retention and a lack of energy. Therefore it could tell us that trying to find Joan is difficult and in an unexpected place and health is below par. So I would say all elements need to be taken into consideration here. Springs wells and marshy ground can also show up here.



When I ask when Joan might be found I have a 14 here, that could add to 5 giving us indications that two people could tell us or it could add to a year such as 2014 represent a route , 1 and 4.
So 14, 5, 1 and 4 might be useful.

This card gives us a feeling of being 'told something' as it is the card of the spokesman. I would have thought that this card could indicate that more information could come to light. I see her between two towns, outside a town in an agricultural area. Even connected to agricultural type structures possibly or buildings nearby or in the distance. However, there is a lot of oppression to be able to find her and would definately indicate the time gone by has been full of obstacles and burdens in order to do so. Really people have to rely on receiving the 'right message' and travel is highly indicated on this card so perhaps she is connected in some way to vehicles or truck driving.

Tarot is not able to name places in the cards but HOLIDAY can come up on this last card. I do not deal with issues of whether the person is alive or dead. In some cases those who are alive would rather it be known different. I do not offer her health status.

What I do think is that 'someone knows' and its up to them to give a message and until then things remain as they are. I also wish to remind you that Tarot is not able to produce every single detail in pure accuracy but maybe something here could help? South is very strong here on this card but there may still be a connection to the North East. All these directions can be place names or actual direction or connected to those people around this lady. Heat and fire come up here so somewhere hot would be indicated. However even now I feel Joan is connected to 'home' wherever that is.
Please remember to read tarot notes and understand the information is past present and future combined.

Empathy.

UPDATED 3RD OF JUNE 2012 WITH TAROT MAP


Dee has provided a map which she feels MIGHT be the area that Tarot is describing. I have not got a single clue with maps. I just post what I find, but see what you think of Dees Map. I have left the link below the Icon. Please bear in mind that this is not guaranteed and Tarot can mean somewhere else entirely.
