This Week: Dark, Unhealthy Thoughts Fuel Joy At Surprise Deal, While An Enemy Gets To Start Something New
Week commencing 20th May 2024
Well, the week has already started off fairly dramatically news-wise, with the death of the Iranian President and his foreign minister (and others) in a helicopter crash.
So I get the feeling this might turn out to be one of “those” weeks… lots of big random/surprise events.
Oh, and by the way, talking of very random… re: Keir Starmer and the “Angry Woman” who came up in our reading about him…. there’s some news today that he has been being stalked and sent hundreds of abusive messages including personal attacks on his family by… guess who?
Baby Reindeer Woman, of all people! (He was her MP). So yeah. This is what I mean. Lots of random strangeness/connections abound.
But what do the cards say is coming up in the international news in general this week?
To find out, I’m doing a 16-Card Witch’s Tableau, and for a change, we’re using Piatnik’s 1901 Traditional Zigeuner Fortune Telling Cards for this.
Find out how this deck and its card meanings compare with the very similar Vera Sibilla here:

So! The cards I drew for the week fell as follows:
The Cards
Merriment, Marriage, House, Enemy; Unexpected Joy, Hope, Letter, Baby; Thief, Malady, Widower, Sweetheart; Thought, Anger, Sorrow, Widow
The Reading
The cards suggest there has been happiness and good cheer over a deal or marriage, which appears to have brought a surprise amount of hope (Merriment, Marriage, Unexpected Joy, Hope). Happiness and a sense of hope and positivity for the future due to the agreement or commitment, which came as a surprise.
Under the surface, though, it appears that something has been taken or stolen in an unhealthy or dysfunctional way due to thoughts of anger and rage (Thief, Malady, Thought, Anger). A case of disordered thinking, it seems, causing someone to take something out of pure spite or anger.
In other words, happiness over some deal or agreement seems to have a lot of anger and dysfunction fuelling it.
Ahead, the cards show the home of an enemy and news or documentation about a fresh start or project or an actual child (House, Enemy, Letter, Baby). Underlying this appears to be a great deal of unhappiness and mourning for a particular woman or female figure: she is surrounded by the Widower (grieving man), Sorrow and the Widow (grieving woman) cards. So a deep underlying grief for a female or “Sweetheart” figure.
Reading the cards across, on the surface, we’ll be getting a sense of pleasure and celebration of a deal or marriage involving the house of the enemy, and an unexpected sense of hope at news of a new start or a child. But this appears to be hiding deep dysfunction underneath; taking something due to illness or dysfunction, and an older man grieving a main female figure, while angry thoughts have brought only tears and mourning.
Reading the cards down, which shows us the recent past moving into the future, we get this unexpected happiness at ‘stolen’ thoughts, bring a marriage of hope borne of unhealthy, perhaps unhinged fury, and news of a house or family where there is sorrow for an older man. The enemy starts afresh while a woman grieves.
Diagonally, hope and happiness while there is mourning for a man and a woman, and an enemy sends a message with dysfunctional thought processes.
It all sounds pretty sinister. But to whom might it refer?
Pairing the cards gives us happiness at the grief of a woman, a bonding or commitment to causing unhappiness, domestic anger or abuse and an enemy’s thoughts. Happiness at a surprise involving a female sweetheart figure, hope brought regarding a grieving older man, and news of sickness or unhealthiness while something new is stolen, or a child takes something.
We’ll have to wait and see.

So there’s a sense of pleasure and celebration of a deal or marriage involving the house of the enemy, and an unexpected chance of hope at news of a new start or a child. But this appears to be hiding deep dysfunction underneath; taking something due to illness or dysfunction, with an older man grieving a main female figure, while angry thoughts have brought only tears and sorrow.
Unexpected happiness at ‘stolen’ thoughts has led to a hopeful deal but that’s borne solely out of unhealthy, perhaps unhinged fury, and news of a house or family where there is sorrow for an older man. The enemy starts afresh while a woman grieves.
There’s happiness at the grief of a woman, a bonding or commitment to causing sadness, perhaps a domestic or national level anger or abuse and an enemy’s thoughts. Happiness at a surprise involving a female sweetheart figure, hope brought regarding a grieving older man, and news of sickness or unhealthiness while something new is stolen, or a child takes something for themselves.
