This Week: Global Alliances & Bonds Are Key In The Face of Serious Threats But Right Decisions Made & Big Changes Coming
Week commencing 13th March 2023
We’ll start the week this week with our old friend the Russian Gypsy Oracle deck, usually better for more personal readings, and without a great deal of flexibility, but it does give a good general overview that can be applied to wider situations.
As you can probably see, many of its images share a lot with those of the Lenormand deck, suggesting similar roots, and that’s something I’ll be looking into more closely at a later date.
This week’s layout regarding what was coming up in international news and events, was as follows. One of the cards (the one containing the Letter the Anchor and the Fish, towards the bottom left) had to be turned round to complete the full picture and to bring the Fish and Anchor into the reading.
The Images
18 Dog 2 (Friend & allies) The help of friends will support you
8 Hearse 1 (Danger to physical & emotional state) Serious sickness that may lead to death
21 Mountains 3 (Danger) After deliberation you will make the right decision
26 Book 2 (Secret news) Something of importance that is being hidden from you
27 Letter 4 (News from a distance) Sad news
35 Anchor 1 (Stability or hindrance) Stability and success & you are in a safe haven
33 Fish 3 (Material fortune) Trade will bring profit
40 Knot 2 ("Family" ties) The chains binding you will always be sweet
Overall
46 Bridge 1 (Deliberate change) A radical change in lifestyle awaits you, a new phase is coming
40 Knot 2 ("Family" ties) The chains binding you will always be sweet, and you've tied strong knots for a lifetime
9 Bouquet 1 (Happiness) Great success in all affairs, good fortune, especially in business
3 Ship 3 (Finances & adventure) Travel, trade, and you will receive income from this

The Reading
Alliances and bonds appear important this week and friends and allies will support one another in the face of either actual instances of death, major sickness or extremely unhealthy energies which threaten everything. Although there is danger, after deliberation and thought, the right decision will be made but something of great importance will still remain hidden from us. There will be sad and negative news from far away, but mostly things will largely remain stable and most of us in a safe position. Trade and business should continue to bring profit, and many of us are bonded together in ways that, although not necessarily always feeling easy, will overall be more far more positive than not.
That said, a major change does await the world; a new phase is coming which may well bring radical changse in the way we all live. During this time what binds us together will remain more positive and significant than not, and strong knots and bonds will be tied between us for ever. In the end, there should be great success in all affairs, and good fortune, particularly in business There will be travel, adventure and trade, and great income and wealth can be brought from this.
