Wednesday: An Ending Or Reveal Of A Big Official Secret, Subterfuge, And The Successful Involvement Of A Woman In Bringing It To Light
Wednesday 8th February 2023
Today’s reading is a basic Lenormand using the Celtic Lenormand deck in an Inquiry Layout. As you can see, you can use various different decks in the same layout, but the cards have a slightly different energy, and work in slightly different ways.
Lenormand cards are, like the Russian Gypsy Oracle images, conceptual (and use many of the same images as each other), whereas Sibilla and the Kipper decks that derived from them are more direct and situational and involve a greater number of possible people.
The card at the centre of the reading is the Coffin, meaning endings.
And here’s the full layout:
At The Centre (Central Issue Of The Reading)
Coffin: Death, Ending, Finality
Rider: Upcoming, News Delivered
This tells us that the reading involves news of a death, an upcoming ending, or a sense of closure on its way (Coffin-Rider).
Top Row (Further Info)
Book: A Secret, Knowledge, What Is To Be Learned, Information, Literal Book
Tower: Building, Structure, Organisation, Security, Officials & Government
Stars: Big Picture, Far Reaching, Hoped For, Goals
The news is connected with what looks like a far-reaching government or structural secret, or one involving senior people and officials (Book-Tower-Stars). The cards suggest that something is being hidden that has big ramifications, or is many-tentacled (Book-Stars). They also suggest that it’s about people in very high positions (Tower-Stars)—or an organisation or structure that is very well-connected, or is linked to something like the internet and cyberspace. Spying maybe? The infamous Chinese spy balloon?
Bottom Row (Outcome)
Lady: A Key Woman
Fox: A Deception, Sneakiness, Someone On The Make, Alertness
Sun: Success And Happiness
Again, there seems to be a significant woman involved here, and I’m really not sure who she’d be. She’s likely to be alert, sneaky and on the make in some way, someone quite canny, and it may involve deceptions, or at least, being smart. She appears to have great success in doing so. A successful woman is deceitful, or there is a successful subterfuge by her.
If we read the cards diagonally, we’re told that there is a secret to be revealed, light being shone on it, news of an upcoming ending or a secret something reaching a conclusion (Book-Coffin/Rider-Sun), and it appears to have something to do with a woman, perhaps in a very high position, or someone technical perhaps, or the big dreams of a particular woman dying a death (Stars-Coffin/Rider-Woman).
Vertically, they suggest she is someone who is keeping secrets or is very intelligent or knowledgeable—or has particular information or a book on the way (Book-Woman). The ending is an official one, perhaps the fall of a government, structure, or hierarchy, or the boundaries that keep it in place (Tower-Coffin/Rider-Fox). Finally, there is a big reveal here, or a massive, big-picture success (Stars-Sun).
The news here is of an ending, something about to draw to a conclusion, or an upcoming death or demise. It appears to be less about a person than some kind of major secret at an official or senior level, and could be something structural, or a structure in itself. Something is being hidden that is major or has big ramifications, or involves people in very high positions. There does, however, seem to be a particular woman involved who is being sneaky, smart or deceptive, in a way that is very successful, and she appears to have gained information or has info to reveal. It looks as though whatever it is shows a government or structural deception or subterfuge, and any reveal is likely to be a big one, proving highly successful for her, or very far-reaching in its implications.
