My apologies; given Tuesday’s post was much longer than usual, I missed out yesterday’s day of posting here, but it should at least have given my readers time to absorb the info about the main men in the picture for 2023!
Today, (another rather long one, I’m afraid) we’re going to look at the female figures in our 2023 spread. Just as with the males, these are likely to refer to either women in general, or known and public figures, perhaps in politics or business, and although the country isn’t known, whether it’s the US, UK or various, I’d be expecting these figures to be known internationally.
Reminder: Kipper Grand Tableau 2023
The Main Woman
The Main Woman card here is appearing in the House of Judication—so there’ll be legal issues and judgements coming down with regard to her. That could be a particular significant woman or women in general.
Around her, we have the Pathway/Long Road, showing something that has taken a long time that involves entrapment (in the House of Prison), and ahead of her, in the direction she’s facing, is doing something or working in ways which are unhealthy (Occupation in the House of Bad Health. )
Directly above her we have a Marriage or agreement with regard to personal life (in House of Family Room), surrounded by bad news at home (Message of Concern in House of House) and an official judgement or ruling being made (Judication in House of Official Person).
Reading diagonally from the left to where she’s standing, she’ll be getting progressively despairing at the bad news which will affect those close to her (Despair in House of Journey; Message of Concern in House of House ). There are legal proceedings or a court case happening connected with marriage or an agreement (Court House in House of Marriage), which will have the involvement of possibly more privileged young ladies (Courtship in House of Privileged Lady), around her marriage or agreements that impact her personal life or space (Marriage in House of Family Room).
Reading from the right diagonally, we see Change also for a Mature Woman who’s been expressing concern (she’s in the House of Message of Concern/Bad news) regarding a judgement on this woman or women in general.
Looking at the row the Main Female is in, we see, as we did the Main Male, that she’s been waiting for an ambitious man’s wealth (Sudden Wealth in House of Expectation, Man in House of Hope, Big Water), a long time and frustrating time for business or money to be made (Pathway/Long Road in the House of Prison, Wealthy Man in House of Pathway/Long Road) and the woman busying herself in being negative and expressing concerns or constantly judged herself (Main Female in House of Judication, Concern/Murky Thoughts in House of Occupation). Her work or activities are unhealthy and involve loss or theft and despairing thoughts.
Making money has taken this woman a long time (Sudden Wealth, Pathway/Long Road, Main Female), and now her day to day unhealthy role appears to involve thinking about what can be taken—or the man wants to steal her role from her or thinks that she wants to steal (Occupation in House of Bad Health, Thought in House of Despair, Thief in House of Concern/Murky Thoughts). There are negative and despairing thoughts about what she is doing (Concern/Murky Thoughts in House of Occupation) and moneymaking and the ambitious main man in our story (Wealthy Man/Rich Young Man, Main Male).
She is being mirrored in the spread by legal proceedings over her marriage (Courthouse in House of Marriage), by news about hard work or tough working conditions (Toil & Labour in House of Letter/Message) and by concerns or negative thoughts about her occupation or what she does (Concern/Murky Thoughts in House of Occupation). Our main woman is being knighted here by Unexpected Income that arises as a result of a death or ending, or itself comes to an end (in House of Coffin). But also will have enormous Great Fortune coming from the public or Community, interestingly, both in terms of wealth and the business community (Great Fortune in House of Sudden Wealth, Community in House of Wealthy or Rich Young Man).
The Mature Woman/Good Lady
The Mature Woman or Good Lady card will represent a figure who is either older or more senior. This often represents a matriarch or mother figure. She seems to be sounding a warning note this year, as she appears in the House of Sad News or Message Of Concern.
Who is she? The cards immediate either side of her suggest she is someone forever trapped or imprisoned by her love relationships or friends (Imprisonment in the House of Lovers) in a Community associated with a wealthy man or business interests and moneymakers (House of Wealthy Man). Perhaps this is how she is seen or what and who she is associated with the public eye. Above her, we see that there will be a change happening in her family and personal life, that she shares with an older or senior man (Family Room in House of Mature Man, Change in House of Mature Woman) and in relation to High Honours, rewards, or a high position that she or they hold either together, or by convening with other people (High Honours in House of Courtship). Beneath her are stolen hopes, dreams and ambitions (Distant Horizon/Hope, Big Water in House of Thief) and an official judgement or law passed (Judication in House of Official Person) with regard to a younger, more privileged woman and legal proceedings (Privileged Young Woman/Rich Girl in House of Courthouse).
The cards around her suggest this woman may well have been judged well by the public previously and held high honours, perhaps in the legal sphere (High Honours in House of Courtship, Community in House of Wealthy Man, Judication in House of Official Person). She’ll be dealing with personal or family matters with her husband (Family Room in House of Mature Man/Good Lord) in some legal matter with a younger, more privileged woman (Privileged Woman/Rich Girl in House of Courthouse). There’ll be a Change for her with regard to being trapped in a relationship (Imprisonment in House of Love) and hopes and ambitions regarding loss or theft (Distant Horizons/Hope, Big Water in House of Thief)
The cards in the column she’s sitting in show again that she’s a family woman, a matriarch figure or someone private (Family Room-Mature Woman) and will be influencing, possibly cautioning, a younger, more privileged woman (Privileged Lady/Rich Girl), who could be a daughter figure. The Rich Girls’ Thoughts may be despairing (Thoughts in House of Despair) and unhealthy (Bad Health) in terms of how hard they have to work (House of Toil & Labour).
The cards diagonal to the Mature Lady show Change in her life with regard to an official judgement or law (Judication) relating to a woman or women in general (Main Female). They show her as likely a respected or senior figure (High Honours) with concerns about the future (Distant Horizons/Hope, Big Water, Concern/Murky Thoughts).
Reading the cards in ‘her’ row, we see a situation of Poverty (in the House of Child) and increasing Despair (in the House of Journey) as well as her being gifted with a Journey to great Good Fortune (in the House of Sudden Wealth), so this older woman could be a rags to riches figure. There’s a connection with thinking about young people (Child in House of Thought) and connecting or mingling or trying to reach younger, more privileged women (Courtship/Meeting in House of Rich Girl). There is a sense, too, that she’s trapped in the public eye in some way or what people think of her (Community-Mature Woman-Imprisonment). Looking at her row from right to left (as a female card, she should be facing the other way, but isn’t in this deck, so I’m following the illustration) suggests a previous Journey from Poverty for her, thinking of children and young people (Child in House of Thought), she’s been trapped in a relationship (Imprisonment in House of Love). Now she’ll be moving out into the Community of probably wealthier people and business (House of Wealthy Man), trying to meet or connect with a younger or more privileged woman (Courtship/Meeting in House of Rich Girl) and bring good luck and Great Fortune financially (House of Sudden Wealth) in situations or journeys of Despair. So she could be someone involved with charitable efforts out in the community.
Finally, she’s being mirrored by dark or despairing thoughts (Thought in House of Despair), and knighted by hard work and waiting for rewards in the past (Toil & Labour, Expectation in House of High Honours), now the loss or theft of occupation or work (Occupation-Thief) and something to do with a court case or legal ruling about marriage and family life (Court House-Marriage).
The Privileged Lady/Rich Girl
Finally, we get to our Privileged Lady/Rich Girl, who’s usually someone younger who’s in a position of relative advantage. As we’ve seen, she appears to be involved in a court case or legal ruling this year (House of Courthouse), and could well either have her ambitions taken away or be hoping to steal something (Distant Horizons/Hope, Big Water in House of Thief) officially or in the legal sense (Judication in House of Official Person). On her mind is the entrapment of the Mature Woman in the public eye and perhaps wanting her to be seen as locked into convening with the wealthy (Community, Mature Woman, Imprisonment). Below the Privileged Lady, we have dark thoughts (Thoughts in House of Despair) about loss or theft of position of work (Occupation, Thoughts, Thief). She may have been locked into ambitions that have either been stolen or wanting to steal (Imprisonment-Distant Horizons/Hope, Big water, Thief), has a connection with the despairing thoughts of an older woman (Mature Woman-Privileged Lady-Thoughts) and will likely be judged in the court of public opinion as well as legally for what she does day to day (Community, Judication, Occupation).
Diagonally, we see there’s been news of her hard work and effort (Toil & Labour in House of Message) and entrapment via love or a relationship (Imprisonment in House of Love) and her occupation day to day, which may be unhealthy (Occupation in House of Bad Health). In the other direction, we have legal proceedings connected with a marriage or deal, so this could be, say, a divorce, law being passed, or court case (Court House in House of Marriage) involving a community or the public, but that’s likely to be a wealthier or business crowd (Community in House of Wealthy Man), which involves negativity about stealing or loss (Thief in House of Concern/Murky Thoughts).
Just like the older woman who influences her, she’s impacted by her and her personal and family life (Family Room, Mature Woman), and despairing, perhaps unhealthy thoughts (Thoughts, Bad Health). So this could be a generational thing or even a matter with a particular family.
Just as with the Mature Man we saw in the previous reading, this is the younger woman side of the tale that relates to a little money that comes from an official role ending (Unexpected Income in House of Coffin-Official Person in House of Unexpected Income), bad news for or from an older man that’s likely to do with home, structure, or family name (Mature Man-Message of Concern/Sad News in House of House), and waiting for high honours or a win with regard to a deal or marriage on a more personal or intimate level (Expectation in House of High Honours; Marriage in House of Family Room). It could involve hopes or ambitions for being able to take something away in an official legal judgement during legal proceedings she’s involved in (Distant Horizons/Hope, Big Water in House of Thief—Judication in House of Official Person around Privileged Lady in House of Courthouse).
Behind her, there’s the older man in an official position involved (Official Person/Military Man, Mature Man), hoping for a win and to take something from someone to come to fruition (Expectation in House of High Honours, Distant Horizon/Hopes, Big Water in House of Thief). The Privileged Lady finds herself in a courtroom situation (Rich Young Woman in House of Courthouse), and a legal judgement will be made by an official (Judication in House of Official Person) with regard to what’s most likely marriage or at least a personal deal (Marriage in House of Family Room). This will bring sad or bad news for people close by in terms of family name or structure (Message of Concern in House of House), but the ending could result in a little money or minor payout—or it could turn off the tap of one income source (Unexpected Income in House of Coffin).
The Privileged Lady is right at the centre of the whole reading with no cards mirroring her, so in a pivotal position somehow for 2023. She is knighted by the thoughts of younger people and concerns about what she or they do day to day (Child in House of Thought; Concern/Murky Thoughts in House of Occupation), by a Change in the House of Mature Lady and gaining advantage and respect with others (High Honours in House of Courtship/Meeting). There’ll be news regarding her publicly (Message in House of Community) relating to what could be the downfall of a particular House (House in House of Poverty) and there’s a sense that she’ll be meeting with other women over a judgement (Courtship/Meeting in House of Privileged Woman, Woman in House of Judication).
Tomorrow, in what should be a shorter post, we’ll start looking more at some of the main events that the cards show are happening in 2023.
There’ll be a judgement coming down relating to a very significant woman or women who’s been a long time trapped and will be moving into unhealthy activities. An official judgement or ruling will be made on her marriage, perhaps a divorce, which will be bad news for her, something which she’s seen progressing with increasing despair. Legal proceedings or a court case involving meeting with a more privileged or younger woman impacts her marriage and personal life. A change comes too via an older woman who appears to have been expecting a judgement or decision with regard to her.
She appears to have been waiting in frustration for an ambitious man to make lots of money for quite some time, likely from business interests, and to have been fairly negative herself about this. She may find her own occupation or job taken away, or alternatively, make it her role to steal from him, and there’ll be despairing and negative thoughts involved. She may be judged constantly, and there could well be a “battle of the sexes” or just purely sexist element to this in how the story is told by those judging. The story is that she’s been waiting a long time, likely frustrated, to make a lot of money, and making it her job to steal. There are negative or despairing thoughts about business and enterprise and a particular wealthy man who, from our previous readings about him, appears to be much better loved and supported than she is.
She’ll have legal proceedings going on over her marriage or agreements this year, as well as negative thoughts in the press over how hard she works or what she does day to day. At the same time, she may make money from an ending, or find one of her income streams drying up, but is extremely fortunate in terms of making big money and may be able to continue to do so through the business community or “her” public.
Meanwhile, an older or senior woman, meanwhile, perhaps a matriarchal figure gets or gives bad news, a warning. She is someone trapped by association, perhaps with lovers, partners or friends, and is likely seen by the public as associated with rich people and business. A change will be happening in the personal life she shares with an older or senior man with regard to high position with other people. There is a sense of stolen hopes, dreams and ambitions, and what’s likely to be a court case or legal ruling she’s involved with with regard to a younger, more privileged woman or women. The older woman may have a good reputation with the public perhaps in a legal or official position, but she’ll be dealing with personal or family matters, likely relating to her husband or family, in a court case about a younger, more privileged woman.. There’ll be a change for her with regard to being trapped in a relationship and her hopes and plans regarding a loss.
She’ll be influencing this younger female figure in a legal sense, who may have despairing thoughts, or the older woman may despair of the younger’s unhealthy approaches to hard work or the efforts put in. There’ll be change coming in her life with regard to an official judgement or law relating to a woman or women, and she, a respected figure, may well be expressing her concerns for the future. She could well be someone who’s had a rags to riches story, who thinks about young people, and is trying to connect with younger, more privileged women. She may be ‘trapped’ in some way in the public eye. A previous journey out of poverty via thinking of young people and perhaps being locked into a relationship leads her to connect with the more wealthy and privileged to bring good fortune and wealth to situations of despair, perhaps through charitable efforts.
Finally, at the very centre of the entire reading is the wealthy or more fortunate younger woman, who’s involved in a court case or legal ruling this year, possibly hoping to steal something or take advantage. She’s thinking about the older woman or women and entrapment in the public eye, and is underpinned by dark or despairing thoughts about loss of occupation or day to day activities. She’s likely to be judged in the court of public opinion as well as officially/legally for what she does day to day, which may be unhealthy. She may receive a little money from an ending or find an income stream cut off in a legal proceeding brought by an older man, bringing bad or sad news for a particular house, structure or those close to her. She appears to care greatly about what younger people think of her, she may gain advantage or respect, there’ll be a lot of news about her publicly, and she’ll likely be convening with other women with regard to a court or legal judgement.
I look forward to a follow up on this next year once it becomes apparent who it is!
