Tuesday: An Uncertain Lover's Thoughts After A Major Disaster, The Dream Shattered, Protection Failed
Tuesday 21st February 2023
So today, for a “What’s coming up now in the news?” question, we’ll be using the Gypsy Card/ Sibilla della Zingara deck, in a five-card layout, which includes reversals.
Here are the cards I pulled.
The three reversed cards are The Lover, Sighs and The Soldier.
The Cards
Misfortune: A calamity or major disaster
Thought: Thought, reflection, consideration.
Lover (R): A male lover, confused and uncertain.
Sighs (R): Longing is over, a dream has vanished.
Soldier (R): Failed protection
The Reading
At the centre, then, is a confused or unsure male lover (Lover, R), perhaps one who doesn’t know how to help or what to do for the best. Around him in the reading is a failure of protection, the big man act faltering or helpless in the face of major catastrophe (Misfortune-Soldier R), as he realises that a dream has shattered (Thought-Sighs R).
Reading from left to right, we have his throughs about a major disaster (Misfortune-Thought), that he is unsure or confused, has lost his footing a bit, or perhaps (“a lover not a fighter”) feels a bit too “soft” to deal with it (Thought-Lover R). The yearning and hoping are over and he has failed in his bid to protect (Sighs R-Soldier R).
I am wondering if this (as mentioned last week!) is connected with the fresh earthquake that’s just happened in Turkey due to the calamity of the Misfortune card. But of course, at a lower scale, it may relate to more personal matters elsewhere.
An unsure male lover doesn’t know what to do for the best. Protection and any hard-man act has failed and he’s helpless in the face of catastrophe, as he realised that all he longed for has shattered. He may be thinking that he’s not actually tough enough to handle the disaster that’s happened, and that he’s failed in his bid to protect.

Could it be related to Ukraine? I admit to binge-watching the BBC documentaries, so it's on my mind, plus Biden was just in Kyiv.
