Welcome back to the Daily Oracle, welcome to 2024, and I do hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. It’s nice to be back.
What have I got coming up for you this week and this month? Well, we’ll be continuing with the daily readings and roundups as usual. I’ll be doing at least a couple more yearly 2024 readings with different decks so we can see how they’ve done at the end of the year. I’ve got a few more layouts to share with you, and want to start getting into more depth with each of the oracle card decks I use here, and will be adding more to the resource pages, as they just contain the basics right now.
So yes—there will be a lot more to come! Click on the buttons to see what we have on each deck so far:
So! Back to our regular readings. We’re starting off this year and week with a simple “What’s coming up in the world in January 2024"?” from the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling pasyan cards. Get the lowdown on this deck here:
The cards for today fell as follows; a couple of the cards had more than one image, so here are both layouts.
The Images
Here, we take the complete images that appear in the spread, and read them in their position from 1-4.
26 Book 4 (Secret News) Talkativeness will bring someone harm, perhaps revealing more than intended.
49 Dagger 3 (Hidden Assault) Someone will experience a wound, perhaps a prick to their pride
37 Angel 3 (Guardian Angel Helping) Love & tenderness will provide comfort
38 Lady 4 (Female Support, Help) Having sucked them dry, a woman will turn away
4 House 1 (Domestic Or Business Affairs) Success in all affairs domestically
1 Cavalier 4 (News) Unpleasant news, the circumstances of which there will be little control over
44 Fire 4 (Passion) Being warmed by love during cold, difficult days
Overall
Here, we take the final card and its half images and read them, first in the positions in which they fall, and then in the first position for the final outcome.
36 Handshake 1 (Union Between Two Parties) A strong friendship will be a support for a lifetime
30 Lily 2 (Faithfulness) Knowing faithfulness and loyalty until death, and a happy life full of meaning
18 Dog 1 (Relationships With Friends) A faithful and constant friend, companion or ally
17 Heron 3 (New Beginnings, Change) A change in relations with friends and allies and eventually, a change in place of residence
The Reading
The cards suggest that this month, we will be seeing someone who is harmed by talkativeness, giving away more information than was intended, or revealing a secret that will backfire. Someone who should really be keeping their counsel doesn’t, and there are consequences of that, most likely an attack, or at the very least, wounded pride. All is not lost, however, as whoever it is has luck on their side, higher powers looking out for them, and the love and tenderness surrounding them should provide comfort at this time. Meanwhile, a woman who has sucked them dry will turn away and offer no help or assistance, but things look good for the family, institution or place, which should be seeing success in all affairs. There is unpleasant news to come, however, and they will have no control over the circumstances of it, but will be warmed by love during cold, difficult days.
There is a very strong overall message here about unity and loyalty, which comes up in three of the four images. A strong friendship and bond will be a support for a lifetime to both parties involved, and there is a sense of loyalty and faithfulness until death, bringing a happy life full of meaning. The companionship and support given is unwavering. However, there will also be a change in relations with some friends and allies, perhaps more fairweather friends, which will eventually lead to a change in place of residence or a move of some kind.
So who’s this about, then? It has a Royal feel to me and suggests some drama, something major happening, like an unpleasant secret coming out, with those involved closing ranks and sticking together rather than letting things fall apart as a result. But it could be anyone really, especially politically.
We will see.
