This Week: Too Much Fire & Haste Brings Embarrassing Back-Off, But Someone'll Rise To The Challenge In A Crisis
Week commencing 19th August 2024
We’re using the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards for the first reading of the week, and here’s how the cards fell today.
Check out the details of this deck and the meanings here:
Note that one card from today’s layout has two images (Money and Fire) and needed to be turned to reveal both images. I have included both in my reading.
The Images
29 Money 4 (Money) A long wait before receiving earned money
44 Fire 1 (Passion) Fire will be enveloping hearts, consuming passions
49 Dagger 3 (Hidden assault) A prick to someone’s pride
11 Branches 1 (Reconciliation or family feuds) Making up after a family quarrel
35 Anchor 1 (Stability or hindrance) Success in love; someone beloved
46 Bridge 4 (Deliberate change) If freedom is wanted, a bridge must be created over the chasm
43 Crayfish 4 (Coping with fate) Too much haste often defeats the business
Overall
43 Crayfish 4 (Coping with fate) Too much haste often defeats the business, and eventually, a too-bold step having been made will result in the person backing off
42 Scales 3 (Justice, balance, karma) Balance is required to come out whole from a predicament, but eventually, good will outweigh evil
33 Fish 4 (Material and/or spiritual fortune) In a difficult moment, someone will rise to the surface rather than sink, and there will be a fortune made, especially on the sea
4 House 3 (Domestic or business affairs) Someone needs to beware of people surrounding them, although they will eventually enjoy success in all affairs
This week’s spread shows someone having to wait a long time before earned money or value appears, although it eventually will do. A delayed payout, perhaps. Meanwhile, passions will be running high and someone will experience a prick to their pride. There appears to be a reconciliation on the cards after a family quarrel and someone will be shown to be much beloved, with success evident in their romantic relationships. That said, if an individual wants their freedom, they are going to have to create the bridge themselves between where they are now and where they want to be. There’s a warning, too, that rushing things and being overhasty will spoil things;”haste often defeats the business” as the cards put it. So rushed solutions will not work out in general.
Overall, the week involves that warning about not being overhasty, as someone will have to go back on any “too-bold” steps they’ve made as a result, which may prove embarrassing. There is some sort of predicament indicated, where balance is required to come out of it unscathed, but eventually, good will outweigh evil. And in a tricky moment, we’ll see somebody rising to the surface instead of sinking, perhaps increasing their value, possibly in trade matters. At the same time, someone needs to watch out for those immediately surrounding them as there may be enemies or spies close by, although they will eventually come good and enjoy success in all affairs.
