The cover of The Economist is always something about predicting events in the coming year, political or otherwise, usually in a sort of Sargent Pepper album cover sort of way--you have to decipher the art. This year it features an allusion to pizzagate.
The interesting thing about this year's cover is that although it appears to feature some of the major arcana of the Tarot cards, the Star card is completely different than any traditional representation, whereas the other cards shown are not as divergent from traditional representations.
Here's the 2017 cover: https://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Economist-2017-front-cover-Doom.jpg
Here is an example of the traditional and common representation of the Star:

Here again is the one from the cover of The Economist:

The Star card normally shows a woman pouring water from two vessels, one on the earth and one in a lake. There are usually seven stars and occasionally one large star, never more than that. You can search it for yourself. This is true not only in the popular Ryder Waite deck but even in the Mlle Le Normand deck dating to the time of Napoleon. It is thought that the Tarot dates at least to 16th century Italy. It has a long association with divination, magic, and astrology. Satanists also use the cards for incantations/spells/rituals.
Here's where pizzagate comes in: in the Star card on the magazine cover, there is no water (there is a cratered surface), no woman, but there are fifteen stars in an illuminated night sky with pictures of children in each, which look like the missing children photos we used to see on milk cartons.
This is bizarre to say the least.
**What is more is that there is a COMET in the center of the stars. A comet--something which never appears in this tarot card-- however variable the representation. **
I doubt too many Tarot readers are fans of The Economist, or that most people understand the esoteric meanings of those cards (major arcana=major hidden mysteries, the minor arcana are what has developed into the four suits of a regular playing card deck), but I am certain that the elites know exactly what they are doing. It's a sort of mockery, laughing in plain sight, and daring us to figure out their game whose outcome they believe to be fixed.
I note that the other cards selected for distortion on that cover have odd meaning as well, but not blatantly to do with pizzagate, as the Star card does.Too many Satanic connections to mention, but the Magician card shown on the 2017 cover with a 3D printer, always has the Baphomet "as above, so below" hand position, which of course is also Masonic. It's all the same pedo club.
To understand further why this is significant and related to pizzagate, it is necessary to appreciate just how contrived this cover is and how predictive it can be, and has been in the past. Here is an article on an older cover with some interpretation:

Here is the same author's interpretation of the 2017 cover, though he totally misses the implications of the Star, but then he does not write about pizzagate anyway.
Here's another nontraditional and creepy Tarot of the Star:

We already know that David Brock (head of Media Matters trolling) and associate of Lynn Rothschild, was formerly James Alefantis' boyfriend. Again, it all about their hidden messages, not restricted to code language or logos.

I have looked at several interpretations and have no idea who this is but interp is excellent and it does reference pizzagate. https://steemit.com/story/@pollux.one/2a2jse-the-economist-cover-for-2017-start-of-an-analysis Author believes some of the symbolism is a combination of two cards.
In particular, the Star is a combination of the Star card with the 15th card...the Devil as represented by 14 stars plus the center comet.

I read the article you referenced. Although "pollux" does get the comet image int he center, relating it to Comet Pizza, he misses something else. That is: that the faces are not of random souls "after Armageddon" as he put it, but are children's faces. No adults. The cratered surface below is red, and could be Mars just as much as earth.
The Tarot has 22 major arcana cards and each is replete with a dark meaning of it's own. In the Tarot spread the cards are read in relation to each other, but not superimposed as he tried to do. In other words, the Star card stands on it's own; the Devil card stands on it's own. But the numbers may be a clue as you say, and if so it would only strengthen the evil implication of the unorthodox version of the Star card on The Economist, making it more pizzagatish.
