This Week: Random Event Brings Sadness, But Response Flows As It Should. Good Feeling Between People, But Enemy Still At Large
W/c 19th January 2023
We’re back with the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling cards today, a Russian pasyans (patience) deck based on the Lenormand, and using the cards and book by Svetlana Touchkoff. For those new to the newsletter, this deck consists of 25 cards and 50 images in halves, and you read the ones that pair up. Each image has four possible meanings, depending on the direction in which it falls.
This week’s reading fell as follows (pl. note, one of the cards in the second column 3 rows down includes the Cat image as well as the Lilies, which pairs with the card next to it, so I have added it below):
2 Clover 4 (Luck) Considerable grief or disappointment, uncontrollable events
22 Path 2 (Path) Travel and progress plans turn out well, things flowing as they should
30 Lilies 3 (Faithfulness) Unearthly or spiritual happiness
41 Cat 1 (Hidden danger) Someone will charm you with kindness, which you’ll yield to
23 Mice 4 (Loss of material article). What is lost or stolen is gone forever
21 Mountain 1 (Danger) A treacherous enemy trying to catch you, be on your guard
Overall (Final card, read first in initial position, then position 1)
17 Heron 1 (New beginning, change) Change of or at home
6 Apple 2 (Encounters) A pleasant unexpected occurrence, a gift; a pleasant happening
4 House 4 (Domestic affairs) Failure in some newly planned project, but eventual success in all affairs
25 Ring 3 (Relationships) An interruption of relations between friends or lovers, then an agreement
The cards suggest that this week, we are likely to see a random event that causes considerable grief or disappointment. However, progress afterwards will still turn out positively, with things flowing as they should, and there could be a sense of togetherness or positive feeling that arises between people. Someone may charm us with seeming kindness which we at this time will succumb to, but should note that what has been lost is now gone forever. At the same time, we still have a treacherous enemy trying to catch us and should be on our guard.
There is likely to be a change on the home front, perhaps something unexpectedly pleasant or positive. And although there will be failure initially in a planned project, success is likely to ensue in the end. Meanwhile, there could be some interruption or difficulty in a bond or agreement between allies or partners, although an agreement will eventually be reached.
