Weekly Roundup: 6 Themes & Royal Influences For December, Limitation Action, An Enemy, Jealousy & Spite

Week ending 9th/10th December 2023

A little later than usual for this week, but here’s the weekly roundup of Daily Oracle readings.

As a reminder, the layouts this week included the following:

Oh, and look out for a post on identifying enemies in spreads in the next day or so.

The Readings

I did several “coming up this month” layouts with different decks; except for one, it mostly wasn’t intentional and they fell this way naturally, but they did seem to tend towards the Royals and the continuing fallout and ever-whipped-up drama.

I mean, it’s not like there’s anything else going on in the world, after all…

We’ll have to wait and see about some about these until the month is out, of course. Let’s remind ourselves of what they were:

We started with a general “what’s upcoming this month” with the Sibilla Indovina:

This Week: 6 Main Themes Upcoming in December

Overall, these cards suggest that this December, we’ll be seeing a continuation of dysfunction and things awry, as an enemy figure, perhaps a hidden one, may be taking a temporary step back at this time, and there is some sort of reconciliation forecast for a dark-haired woman. But this all stems from a male figure, a worried one, who is his own worst enemy. We’ll also likely see a senior figure, an older, wealthy man, with more money than love, taking time off elsewhere, who’ll be removing himself from the fray at this time, so perhaps stepping back from any duties. The unhealthiness or dysfunction we see involves the hidden enemy and the reconciliation with that person or persons. Will it turn out to be a wise move? We’ll see.

There’s also an escape, a distancing involving a dark haired woman in connection with a significant male figure who is his own worst enemy, and who will be getting away from it all. The older, senior man with wealth and assets, meanwhile, ends up standing alone.

In terms of “themes” suggested for this month, we have a sense of sorrow and tears, which bring anger and disdain when it involves a smart young man or men. Meanwhile, there’ll be praise and sucking up to those who kill and finish things off, while the whole thing is treated more as a pleasure, a diversion or a game by some. Those who have lost and are grieving are given affection, love and care. And there’s a perhaps surprise degree of tenderness from someone in a senior role, protective, gentle, caring and sending sweet messages. A kindly protector figure, playing “nice” giving all the “right messages”, behaving in a caring way. Victory and rewards, however, will be delayed. It takes a while before advantages can arrive or start coming to fruition. The idea of waiting, delay and patience being beneficial, but perhaps there’s a danger too that victory comes too late to gain the rewards.Thought and thinking is the final theme, regarding theories, beliefs and ideas. A gamble or risk is taken based on a theoretical position, there is thinking going on about that, but the risks taken will turn out to be unprofitable, and efforts made in reality bring few gains. Far less value and benefit than had been hoped for from the theory or ideological position.

Not sure who most of these are yet, especially the senior man stepping back, but it seems the sorrows are set to continue, and grieving for a young men or men, and a sense of what’s at stake being a game or seen too frivolously by others. No idea who the caring senior man might be but rewards may come too late, and gambles taken in terms of ideas that will cause unnecessary losses.

The rest of the week was as follows:
