Weekly Roundup: Conflict, Danger & Obstacles, Man's Trip, Deception & Legal Gambles
Week ending 21st/22nd October 2023
Well, another very difficult/depressing news week, it has to be said, but not terribly surprising given recent events.
In terms of the week’s card layouts, check out the details and instructions on the ones we’ve used in this week’s Daily Oracle posts.
Meanwhile, I also posted the long-awaited comparison between Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards and the Lenormand (see above). You can read all about that here:
This Week’s Readings Update
Not the easiest week this week on the news front with continuation of the war in Gaza, news of atrocities and hospital bombings, public demonstrations, accusations from both sides, carefully-worded visits from Presidents and prime ministers and rows over impartiality, bias, who counts as a terrorist and who doesn’t, and which information can be trusted. On the plus side two female US-Israeli hostages were released, possibly with the help of the Qatar govt.
This Week: Difficulties With Movement; Obstacles, Fighting, Danger. Temporary Negativity Gives Way To Final Endings Or Greater Dysfunction
The cards suggest difficulties on the road are to continue this week, and we’ll see lots of movement, people moving, so there’ll be challenges there, wherever people try to move. There’ll be obstacles they have to fight and get past, and great danger and unpleasantness, being near it, physical danger. The right steps, however, should bring success, but one major project, plan or goal will be unsuccessful, will not come to fruition and should be reassessed.
In the longer term, there are hopes for good fortune and fulfilment of desires, but there will be conflict and divisions between those close, although there should be reconciliation eventually. After a series of unpleasant occurrences, there’ll be guidance. But the temporary loss of condition may well lead to a more permanent sickness, or dysfunction, that can lead to the end of something or to death, to something coming to an end.
Much misery as local people try to leave war-torn Gaza, but with borders closed, food and water running out and bombings on the road, their passage has been fraught with difficulties, and much negotiation ongoing with surrounding countries. International governments and agencies kicking into gear with visits to Israel from Biden , Sunak, and Guterres of the UN, for instance, and very careful language later in the week trying not to antagonise the situation, while aid agencies try to get help to citizens.
Major outrage when a hospital was bombed, groundswell of accusations of bias in news reporting (in the UK especially the BBC) and both sides of the conflict accusing the other of carrying out the act. Conflict on the observer side internationally also with public demonstrations and different political factions at each others’ throats. Guidance, certainly, and particularly with regard to fact and news bias is beginning to come to the fore as an issue domestically. Although I don’t know which “plan” or project was referred to that especially failed this week.
The rest of the week’s readings can be summarised as follows:
