Friday: Longing For Healing After Foundations Rocked By Madness, But Still Going In Circles
Friday 24th February 2023
For today’s reading, (and I think it’s pertinent with today being the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine) we have a Line of 7 spread from the Vera Sibilla
Meanwhile, if you’d like more detailed interpretations of the Vera Sibilla cards, including reversals, do check out the Vera Sibilla/Gypsy Oracle page, as new card meaning references for you are being added daily.
The Cards
House (Casa) R: Instability, foundations rocked, lack of structure
Pleasure Seekers (I Delirianti): Madness, high on something, going too far
Thought (Il Pensiero): Thoughts, consideration, state of mind
Sighs (Sospiri): Longing, yearning
Malady (Ammalato) R Ailment or sickness beginning to heal
Journey (Viaggio) R Lack of progress, going round in circles
Surprise (Sorpresa) R Short period of bad luck, or hoped-for improvements don’t appear
The Reading
At the centre we have longing, a yearning (Sighs), wanting something to happen that hasn’t or hasn’t yet. Immediately around that, there are thoughts or what’s on people’s minds (Thought) of wanting what’s gone wrong or what’s been “sick” to heal, to start improving (Malady, R). Around those cards, however, we can see a sort of madness, a delirium and that it just keeps going in circles with little progress made (Pleasure-Seekers-Journey R). And the cards at either end of the reading tell us that where our foundations have been rocked or shattered, we’re still unlikely to get the hoped for improvements just yet (House R-Surprise R).
Reading the cards from left to right, we have our very foundations rocked and instability causing a kind of madness or delirium (House R-Delirium), particularly in how people think about things, perhaps psychologically, with regard to our mental health (Pleasure-Seekers, Thought). Thoughts involve longing or yearning, perhaps for “normality” to return (Sighs), the sickness or all that’s gone wrong to start to heal (Sighs, Malady R). But alas, instead of moving forward with that, we still appear to be going in circles (Malady R, Journey R), and sadly, it doesn’t look as if we’ll get any major bits of luck to help move things forward at this time (Journey R-Surprise R).
Summary
A sense of yearning, of wanting things to change, or progress to be made, us to all start healing, but the sense of madness appears to continue with little progress made. Our foundations have been rocked but we’re unlikely to get the hoped for improvements just yet.
