47 Demons 3 (Subconscious negativity) Too much unrestrained merriment before regret, and do not listen to cunning whisperings designed to hurt.
The cards for this week give a sense of idealism followed by doubt, a coming back down to earth. Disillusionment looms large as we may see doubts beginning to creep in to perhaps idealised situations, as what seems quite wonderful at first may turn out to be less so in the cold light of day. It looks as though although a desire or wish has been fulfilled, but a secret entrusted will be exposed this week, with something someone knows coming out into the open. It appears to involve someone wealthy and an agreement or promise between two parties. Traditionally, this is the sign of an engagement, but it could suggest a deal or promise made in any scenario. The idealism comes up again, with a hope being fulfilled, perhaps as a result of this deal, there’s a kind of passion and sense of being swept off one’s feet there, but alas, it appears once again we are being cunningly deceived. So a warning here not to trust too blindly, even if things seem wonderful on the surface.
Overall this week, there’s a sense of shadowy goings-on and the need to decide who and what to trust. There is deceit and someone not being at all what they seem, and some “suspicious” or murky associations. All is not lost though, as it appears that this will give way to more wholesome and above board connections, something much healthier. It’s a case of not going too overboard with enthusiasm, as it’ll be regretted, and being careful not to let negative “whisperings” or the stirring up of any dark underlying forces take hold.
