This Week: A Man, A Woman, A Final Judgement That Upsets Him But That She's Been Working Towards
Week commencing Monday 27th February 2023
Hope you all had lovely weekends!
We’ll be starting off this week with the German Salish Kipper deck and a Master Card reading (which’ll be one of the layouts lucky subscribers will be able to get the lowdown on in the Kipper Card resources section here in the next weeks and months).
You’ll see that a list of the Kipper cards 1-36 has already been provided there for you, but there won’t be any detail for a while, while I work on other sections.
The Cards In Brief:
(Zusammenkunft) Meeting: Meeting, getting together
(Gute Dame) Good Lady/Older Woman (yes, really, even though she looks about 12 in this deck): An older or senior woman
(Zu hohen Ehren kommen) High Honours: High position, rewards
(Mannliche Hauptperson) Main Male: A male significator in the reading
(Reicher guter Herr) Rich Young Man: A wealthy young man, business
(Erwartung) Waiting: Expectation or waiting
(Traurige Nachricht) Sad News/Sorrow: Upset and sadness
(Ein Todesfall) Coffin: An ending or death
(Gerichtsperson) Court Person/ Judication: A judgement given
(Haus) House: House, home, locale, neighbourhood
(Arbeit) Work: Daily occupation
(Weibliche Hauptperson) Main Female: A female significator in the reading
(Falsche Person) False Person: A role or falsehood, something hidden
(Grosses Gluck) Big Luck: Very good luck
(Militarperson) Military/Official Person: Soldier or official person
The Reading
So it's almost a reading of two halves, this, with a man and woman face to face, perhaps opponents. I haven't used the Coffin as a fullstop really in this one, but it does provide a clear break between the left half and the right.
Cards Down
First we have the Main Man in the picture, with an Older Woman behind him, and sorrow or Sad News ahead of him. He appears to have been meeting or trying to with an older or senior woman (Meeting, Good Lady). He is in a high position (High Honours) and wealthy (Rich Man) or at least, knows people who are. Whatever he is waiting for, it seems, is likely to be met with sadness, so it looks as though he'll be disappointed (Expectation-Sorrow) - although he may also be anticipating that. Following that, there appears to be a final judgement or ruling coming. It looks as though it is likely to be a resounding NO, the door slammed on it for him. (Coffin-Judgement).
Meanwhile, we also have a Woman, and she appears to be playing a role or displaying a persona of some kind (Main Woman-False Person). Behind her is very good luck indeed with a military or official person (Big Luck, Military) or if not an individual, with her own strategy and planning.
Ahead of her, we see the House and Work, suggesting she'll be working near home, or in a particular building or locale, likely somewhere she feels at home. This final judgement or ruling also affects her (Coffin-Judgement). Bear in mind in this spread, she's kind of 'above' our Man too in a way.
Cards Across
Reading across-ways right to left from the Woman's perspective on the top row, we have recent big luck or a big break for her (Big Luck) but looking ahead to an ending with those close to her or at home or in a family (House). Then we see a waiting for rewards and high position (Waiting-High Honours) most likely through mingling with people in that upper echelon (Meeting-High Honours).
For the Man, on the other hand, we have the Older Woman in his recent past and he'll be sorrowful and upset about the "ruling" (Sad News-Judgement) Then there's day to day work involving someone false, or playing a role in front of him, who is hiding her strategy from his gaze (False Person-Military Person).
Diagonals
Reading the cards diagonally, we see for him there've been meetings and attempted get-togethers (Meeting-Man) and he's Waiting for this Judgement, while at Home there is a False Person, something hidden going on. She, meanwhile, has been strategising (Woman-Military Person), possibly with someone behind the scenes, has been very successful in terms of playing a role or persona (Big Luck-False Person) and will be doing work or activities that lead up to this ending (Coffin-Work) .It brings sorrow for the Rich Man (Coffin-Sad News-Rich Man), but High Honours for an Older Woman.
Knighting
Knighting the cards, we get his meeting or get together causing upset and sorrow (Meeting-Sad News), he may be mourning this, and those tears may relate to those immediately around him or 'the house' regarding strategy and plans (Sad News-House-Military Person). It's a big ending for him though (Man-Coffin) and any falseness or pretence may end (Coffin-False Person). He may have been anticipating his meetings bringing a more successful money making kind of role or being spoiled (Rich Man, Meeting-Expectation), and he’s still expecting, from his dealings with the older woman in the past, to have something to do (Expectation, Older Woman, Work), which he may have some luck in (Big Luck)
The Big Luck for our woman is also around Work and what she does day to day, which she anticipates doing til she's older (Expectation-Older Woman). As for her, that ruling or Judgement may bring a businessman or wealthy person in a high or senior position (High Honours-Rich Man). However, from her side, her persona may no longer be needed in relation to the man and brings things to a close for him (False Person-Coffin).
All sounds very juicy! I wonder which pair this might be?
Summary
This week, we have a high status man with an older woman behind him and bad news ahead. He's been getting together or trying to meet with an older or senior woman. He's someone in a high position, and wealthy or money-generating, but is likely to be disappointed by a ruling or judgement, a resounding no and the door slammed firmly shut ahead of him.
Meanwhile, we also have a woman playing a role, perhaps very successfully hiding her strategy or plan, or people plotting behind the scenes and displaying a persona of some kind, which may well involve the appearance or hard work and industry locally or with those close to her. Ahead for her is the ruling, the final judgement also, but it may be something she's actively working towards. She has big luck behind her, particularly with regard to the role or persona she plays.
She is looking towards an ending with regard to home or a family, after which she’s looking to mix in the higher echelons. He, on the other hand, will be upset and faced with someone whose falsehood may be revealed. It looks as though she will do far better out of it than he will.
