This Week's Roundup... Plus A Merry Xmas & A Very Happy New Year To All My Readers!
My final post for 2023... I will see you again on New Year's Day!
Christmas Break: Have A Lovely One!
So yes, as per the title, this will be my final post for the year, as I will be away with my family next week for Christmas. As a result, I won’t be able to send out any newsletters or add posts at all over the next week. But Daily Oracle posts will be back in your inboxes as usual from January 1st 2024!
If you do find you’re missing your oracle card posts during the week, don’t forget to check out all the “How To” and Card Meanings posts on our various oracle decks on the Resources page, and the layouts on the Layouts page, which you can access via the buttons below. Have fun practising and have yourselves a wonderful break!
Meanwhile, here’s the roundup of the week’s readings:
This Week’s Readings
This week just gone, I mixed up a few standard daily reads, with some 2024 predictive ones. I will likely do a couple more Year Ahead ones right at the start of the new year, so let’s see how we go: I just didn’t want to overload on them one after the other.
This Week: Warning Of Enemy Plans & Vengeance; Reminder That Those Grieving Are Still Subject To The Law
The cards suggest that the news this week in the run-up to Christmas will be dominated by thoughts of the death, or ending, of an enemy figure, or enemies, and a promise or commitment. The thoughts or plans of an enemy could be in the frame also, so caution is advised. Dangerous times are forecast, and a vengeful kind of energy is apparent in the week. All is not lost, however; those more loving and caring than vengeful will be expressing their sadness and sorrow. But a male lover figure will unexpectedly gain money or value, which will upset some. There could be another surprise disaster, something destructive, bringing yet more loss and a cycle of dysfunctional reaction, and there appears to be news or communication about money or value gained which will prove challenging. Expect to see the visit of a lawmaker or a legal judgement on those grieving losses, and even those rightfully grieving should remember they are still subject to the law. Overall, something new, a supposed new beginning in a place, an institution or a family, will turn out to be or have been a false start.
This, of course, could refer to Gaza, Israel, Hamas and the UN, as well as international pressure, and reminders that even when the very worst has happened and is threatened, all states and players are obligated to keep within international law. Which of course, it being war, nobody will. Meanwhile, a terrible unexpected event came in Prague on Thursday with a mass random shooting (‘vengeance’) by a disgruntled student at the city’s historic Charles University, killing, it is thought a number of students and tourists with the misfortune to be outside the building at the time. Although my American friends are tragically familiar with mass shootings, and Europe of course has had more instances of political terrorist attacks, homegrown shooters are generally not something we see often in Europe. It has never happened in Prague before.
Lenormand News 2024 Year Ahead Reading
General
The cards suggest a year focused on power, wealth and assets as well as ethics, purity, morality and experienced wisdom in the face of conflict and war A bridge will be built or we'll be transitioning from one state to the other. There could be an attempt at some kind of ethical or experience-related transition coming that’s connected with war, strength and power.
At the centre of the spread is news of danger, or something dramatic that happens very, very quickly and that appears to lie at the centre of what happens in 2024.
A female observer, perhaps representing us all, will be diving deep to look at long term paths and choices. So there's a real sense of going deep, trying to find the foundations, a solid foundation to the choices we make, looking at the roads we’re going down.
The details of this Lenormand Year Ahead 2024 spread, along with the rest of the week’s readings, including an additional Year Ahead spread were as follows.
