This Week: Sickness in Service, Ending & Entrapment, A Sweetheart & A Message Of Madness Coming
Week commencing 9th January 2023
So we’ll start the week with the Sibilla Vera again, which has at the centre the Service card, which is being covered by this. The Malady or Sickness card, which tells us something is amiss.
And below is the full layout for this week.
At The Centre
(Domestico) Service: Service, Spirit Of Service, Male Servant
(Ammolato) Malady/Sickness: Illness, Something Amiss or Wrong
So at the centre of things this week is the spirit of service gone very awry.
Top Row, More Detail
(Morte) Coffin/Death: A Death Or Funeral
(L’Amante) Sweetheart: A Female Lover
(Prigone) Prison: Entrapment, Stuckness
This has something to do with a death or ending, a female lover and someone being trapped, imprisoned or stuck. I am hoping obviously it is metaphorical rather than literal. A female lover or sweetheart brings an ending or her position as such ends, bringing entrapment or stuckness, a sense of being locked in.
Bottom Row—Outcome
(Messagiere) Messenger: Delivery Of A Message
(Viaggio) Journey: Journey, Movement Or Progress, On The Way
(Il Deliriante) Pleasure Seekers: Derangement, Madness, Over The Top
Here, we have the outcome being that someone will deliver a message or will be despatched to deliver a message, suggesting madness or derangement, that things have gone too far, or are on their way to being full blown insanity. As you see with the drunken pleasure-seekers, it’s as if someone’s getting high on what they’re doing and who is on the way to losing all reason. So I think we know who this is about - the question is more who will be delivering the message here. Himself or someone external?
Diagonally, it looks as though an ending will be brought to the “madness” of the poor or skewed approach to service, and that someone will be delivering a message which is about being trapped or imprisoned in that.
Vertically, we have something about a messenger delivering news of an ending, or indeed a coffin or grave. There is the Sweetheart seemingly moving on from (Journey) an unhealthy male servant or concept of Service. And there’s a sense of being trapped in the madness (Prison, Pleasure Seekers), perhaps in the headiness or craziness of it all.
The spirit of service or a male servant gone awry or rogue. Sickness. This connects with a death or ending, a female sweetheart and entrapment, a sense of being locked in. The journey of someone to deliver a message of derangement, or being on their way to full blown insanity, where someone’s getting high or frenzied with what they’re doing. The message of an ending is likely coming, the female lover may be moving on from an unhealthy servant, leaving him trapped in the madness.
