This Week: Misinformation or Misdirection, A Trap, A Man's Love Life & A Lonely Woman
Monday 18th March 2024
The reading I have for you today for the week upcoming is with the Sibilla Indovina, an international version of the original Sibylle des Salons which uses the original images (and names, although the English translations leave a lot to be desired, frankly. I mean, “Fright” instead of “Death”, really? Why so coy?). But it’s a fantastic Sibilla deck, with the “Sibylle” in question based on infamous Parisian fortune teller Mlle LeNormand herself.
Here’s the background to this lovely deck:

Interpretation: Coming Up This Week
It looks as though we’ll be aware that passing out of the situation now is a Thief or something stolen, a Trap or restriction, with a Lot of Money involved and either delayed news or misinformation/poor quality information (Letter R). Misinformation abounds and there may well have been press restrictions or misdirections. Something’s been lost or stolen (or someone is being fraudulent) bringing misinformation into the mix, it’s lost a lot of value or cost a lot of money, value or money has been limited, and it looks rather as if someone has been hoist by their own petard. It costs a lot of money, it seems, to misinform or mislead; is this about injunctions perhaps? (A Lot of Money, Letter R).
What may be less obvious is what’s passing out of the situation, according to these cards. A flirtatious woman and flattery (Blonde Woman, Flatterer), bringing sorrow and regret (Infantilism/Tears) and a furious, perhaps crazy woman (Angry Woman). Something appears to have hit the fan behind the scenes. It appears that flattery and flirtation as a tactic has not worked for someone, most likely a woman, at all, leading to great rage and sorrow. Her efforts and entreaties have failed. The flirtation turns to fury, the obsequiousness to tears and regret.
Coming up as to what is likely to be more on the surface, we have a main male figure (Male Consultant) and his Love or love life , along with an isolated or lonely woman (Widow) and corruption, abuse of power, inflexibility, coldness and possibly poor advice (Lawyer R). She feels separated from him and it could be that there is an air of dominance about him in their relationship (Male Consultant, Lawyer R, Love, Widow).
Under the surface? A smart young man and an older, wealthy one, along with hopes disappearing for a reconciliation (Dark Haired Young Man, Pensioner, Reconcilation, Hope R). The young man, who is usually someone fairly clever, doesn’t feel there is any hope and has his eyes wide open, but the older man is looking to reconcile.
The rows speaks of a loss or theft bringing a trap for a significant male in his love life. There’s a lot of money involved to delay the news or in misinformation and misdirection, and there’s an isolated woman involved who is either getting bad advice or is being abused or dominated by someone more powerful. A flirtatious woman has been flattered and praised by both a dark haired young man and an older wealthy one. But there are tears of vengeful rage at a seeming reconciliation which destroys hope.
The columns speak of the theft or loss of a lot of money involving a flirtatious woman and tears or regret. There’s a trap involved with regard to misinformation or delayed news, and flattery brings only fury for one woman concerned. There’s also a main man in the picture and an isolated woman, and a smart young man with whom there could be a reconciliation. Also in love, there appears to be abusive or power hungry behaviour or poor advice, and the older, wealthy man is losing hope.
Diagonally, a loss or theft regarding missing, incorrect or delayed information for a smart young man brings a loss of hope or a bunch of cynicism. In love, a woman is lonely and isolated, and flattery has only brought upset and tears.
Pairing the cards, we get a thief taking hope away from someone, being forced, cornered or trapped into supposed reconciliation, a main male dealing with a furious, if not crazy, woman, and sorrow in love. There’s a lot of money connected with a wealthy older man, but there is misinformation or delayed news about a younger, smart man. The isolated woman is praised or insincerely flattered or flattering. People in general are being obsequious.
