Friday: The Yearnings Of A Male Enemy, According To A "Family Friend" Who Profits From Association. The Sorrows & Sadness Of A "Military" Child.
Friday 3rd February 2023
For today’s reading, we’re going back to the Gypsy Oracle Cards (Sibilla della Zingara), the alternative version of the Italian Vera Sibilla deck. All the same cards and images, different design, but these ones don’t contain playing card references or lottery numbers.
So here’s our card at the centre for today. It’s the male Enemy card (the other enemy is the “Foe” who is female). I’m showing you it here, next to its counterpart from the Vera Sibilla deck.
And here’s the full layout itself. As you’ll see, the images are even clearer than those in the Vera Sibilla. No reversals this time.
At The Centre: The Central Issue
Enemy (M): A Male Enemy, Opposition, Hidden Enemy
Sighs: Yearning, Longing
A male enemy’s longing or yearnings or desires are at the core of the reading
Top Row: More Detail
House: Environment, Household, Home, Building, Family, Family Name
Friend: A Friend Or Ally, Can Be Male Or Female, But Is Portrayed As A Woman
Merchant: Businessperson, Business Interests
A friend, likely female, of the household or family, so not a member, and who is a businessperson herself, perhaps someone who makes profit off that connection or link. A professional “friend of the family”. If it’s the Royals, I’d suggest someone like Lady C (Lady Colin Campbell)? If it’s Harry & Meghan, perhaps Oprah, who has been in the news this week for apparently NOT inviting Haz n Megz to her 60th birthday party… But for me, i think this fits Lady C or people like her the best. Pro Royal gossip-hounds often turn to her to see what she has to say, which is a great deal, and she certainly profits from her family association and supposed “insider info.” That said, there are any number of other associated people who always claim to be “in the know” (and then write books about it, of course: your Burrells and Brandreths, for instance.)
Bottom Row: Final Outcome Or Underlying Factors
Child: A Child Or Young Person
Soldier: A Soldier or Military Person, Person in Authority, Organisation, An Official, Strategy
Sorrow: Loss, Bad News, Sadness, Upset
So a younger person or child of a family who is an official, or a military person. Harry, I’d expect. And loss or sadness or sorrow on his part.
Overall, then, this is a tale of the yearnings and longings of a male person who has been designated “the enemy”, likely according to a female “friend of the family” or household who profits from the association and insider knowledge.
Diagonally, the cards suggest longings and yearnings (Sighs) over this, both for the family or “house” concerned (House) which are causing great upset and Sorrow. And that this “enemy” person (Enemy), who is a younger person (Child), is profiting from their longings (Merchant).
The cards vertically suggest this is the “child” of the household (House-Child), that the female friend or helper not only may be associated with the “longings” of the person designated as the enemy, who may be a military person (so Harry) but this also could involve strategising on her part (Friend-Male Enemy/Sighs-Soldier). And finally, that there’s a kind of monetizing of sorrow and sadness (Merchant-Sorrow).
In summary:
A “male enemy’s” desires or sense of yearning, longing or regret. A friend of the household or family who profits from the association or who she (or he) is, and the sadness connected with a military or official younger person or family member. There are great longings for a sorrowful family, and the child of this family is profiting from both his and their yearnings. The family friend may themselves be strategic, and overall, there’s a monetizing of sorrow and sadness.
