Folks on discord are speculating Mabel as the hyperactive ally - I think it could be Fred.

Ending is kinda ominous - Matthew 6:13, - "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever." Star is seeking help from the guy upstairs?
 
...so uh

I brought it up on Discord, half-jokingly, but the whole last interlude relating to Star was sort of a Biblical reference? "And at the time of the Savior's birth, a Star will rise in the East", and all that? Demona and Angela? If you really wanna stretch it, we, Xanatos and Shego could be the Three Wise Men?

Is there a guy upstairs?

There's a guy downstairs. Janna has been forging his signature, after all! If there's a guy downstairs but not a guy upstairs, something's even more wrong than we expected in this timeline.
 
Well, Puck did say that a church can counteract Satan magic, right? The church has at least some power, and he mentioned Heaven's light.
 
"The Problem." Celena said, holding up the first card. "The King. Sign of compassion, aid, and forgiveness. As a problem, it can represent someone who needs these… or, it could be a sign that aid and forgiveness you hope to provide will be poisoned. It is modified by the sign of the Silkworm, a sign of intelligence, independence, and secrecy. This could represent the person who needed helping, or the person who provides help. Or it could speak to the situation itself."
Does this mean we shouldn't warn people about the Probability-inator?
Celena moved to the next card, a four-armed woman with butterfly wings and swords in hand. "The Past, Battle Strength. Victory, strength and achievement. Someone related to this prophecy has succeeded incredibly, and recently. It is modified by the Pony Head, a sign of allure, admiration and mystery. It is very similar to the tadpole in this alignment… it is possible it refers to the same person as that reading. In which case, someone has recently achieved great success in an area you hope to help others, or others need help."
Demona getting that rod?
The next card was the blue Master of the Book, the same card that so concerned Celena in the last reading.

"The Master represents challenge, sacrifice, consequence, and the facing of reality as it truly is. With the sheer mystery swirling around this reading… there is something you do not know, a threat, a challenge, or something lost. You do not understand what is going on, and if you act rashly without that knowledge, it could be disastrous."

"That sounds important." Janna interjected. "What's it about?"

"I do not know." Celena replied. "I know little of this DEI, you will need to put the pieces together yourself.
I'm pretty sure Marco will provide this important tidbit. Or I'm just desperately grasping at straws
Celena drew a sun, smiling madly. "The rising sun. Personal gain, success. An opportunity. Modified by the Pig-Goat… sign of hyperactivity, fun-loving, stubbornness, impulsivity, and a difficulty following society's rules. There is a person, someone who fits this description, who will be of great use to you in cutting through this tangle. With their aid you can avoid potential disaster, and reap incredible reward. Watch for someone hyperactive, fun-loving, impulsive and pigheaded. Despite their negative qualities, they will be a blessing in disguise."
Who could this be? It's not Star, so does that mean it's Janna? Or somebody completely different?
Celena spun the cards a second time. "Problem. True Love, modified by the… Blowhole. Hmm, this is a tough one. True love is a crossroads, an approaching fork, but as Tobe knows it can also be a more literal union…"
Tobe's getting married? Hopefully? Anything other than this outcome scares me
"So it could be that the problem here stems from some sort of trouble in a literal love affair. As for the blowhole, that means someone who is…" Celena squinted at the cards. "...down to earth? This is a weird one."
Okay, now I'm scared.
Shaking Tobe's head, Celena continued. "The past is Shooting Star, modified by the Tadpole, sign of the eccentric free spirit, yadda yadda, yeah this is Star, it's clearly Star, no question, we know she's involved in the past of this whole mess. Hrm. She's a lot more… recent than I would have expected though."
This would be the Demona omake at play. Still pissed at that chick for that
"Uhhh…" Celena said nervously, flipping over the next card. "Let's see, the Present is… the Hungry One. A sign of provision, safety and plenty. No, based on what you've told me on how she's doing we're not getting anything about Star in the present. Modified by the Pixie, sign of togetherness. I think this might be about you guys."

"What?"

"Like, you've sort of found a port in the storm here, right? And allies and so on? I think it's saying you're in the best spot you can be right now for dealing with what's coming."

"The crazy pharmacist is our best bet? Really?" Tom asked. "Well that's just great."
Better believe it, Tom! We're your best hope at getting Star back!
"Well the alternate interpretation is that your enemy has obtained the things and allies they need to achieve whatever they want to accomplish."

Tom blanched. "All right fine, I'll take the pharmacist."
See?
"Oh, right right." Celena replied. "The Path might be the biggest update on the situation, since it deals with… uh oh."

Celena drew the Queen, modified by the Deadhorse. "Strength… and death. She has the Power she has sought. But it is not enough. There is another She seeks."

Janna blinked. "What is it?"

As the light began to leave Tobe's eyes, Celena whispered:

"The Kingdom and the Glory."
This... can't... be... good. Well, plus side, Demona seems to be lacking in strength right now. Downside... we have no idea who she's going after next.

Overall, my concern level:

Just speculating here:

Informing our allies of the probability-inator.

Because they have been infiltrated by an enemy and if we warn them, someone we don't want to cascade-crit will learn of it as well.

The next card was the blue Master of the Book, the same card that so concerned Celena in the last reading.

We don't know that they've been infiltrated or are cooperating with this threat, so if we sent them warnings without knowing this, it could be really bad.

Random thought, but what if this is Drossel?
