And we still have plenty to go on the Lenormand, where we’ve been looking at the Grand Tableau of late.
Repeat themes in readings this week
Not a major week for news, really, at least not as it was reflected here in the cards. Various repeat themes; Grief, theft, losses, sickness and children came up on repeat in several readings this week, along with superficiality and masks. A sense of certain people putting on a good show with very little of substance underneath, it seems.
This Week: Regrets Over What's Been Lost, Superficial Nostalgia, But It's Really All About The Money
There’s likely to be a sense of grieving, mourning and looking back on what’s been lost in the news this week, a sense of nostalgia. But it’s unserious, and involves overoptimism, although may just stem from the feeling of wanting things to lighten up a bit. We could be seeing a sense of regret or yearning for someone regarding a romance, a child or sense of innocence and the involvement of a female enemy. There are hopes regarding cash and assets, but a degree of superficiality when it comes to loyalty and allegiances. So we could be seeing someone make a very superficial-seeming alliance, perhaps just for appearances’ sake and the cash it brings. Underlying all this is a sense of craziness, perhaps addictive or ‘mob’ behaviour regarding or within a family or institution and negative conversations that appear to be taking place. There’s a child perhaps wasting money or spending it in an addictive way. Love brings hope to a family or institution but there is a yearning for lightness in the face of negativity. Meanwhile the loyalty (or not) of a female foe is discussed.
A child or something new appears to bring hope over melancholy although the longing involved may be slightly deranged and have an addictive quality. There’s this superficial kind of nostalgia, while love appears to be mainly viewed in financial or monetary terms and conversations about this appear now to be entirely surface-level and unserious, materialistic in the domestic sense and somewhat lacking in substance from a female enemy who is treating the institution lightly.
So we have the child or something new bringing a sense of lightness or, more negatively, superficiality back into the institution but not without some whining about money and there still appears to be a lack of seriousness and addiction regarding matters of the heart. “Woe is me” attitudes abound (with someone perhaps getting off on the drama of it all. There’s still hope of talks with a female enemy, it seems but there’s longing with regard to the child or children of a family or institution. There’s negativity and gloom over a female enemy and romantic love She meanwhile appears to have hopes regarding this gloom while there is loyalty and love regarding the institution or family ). Finally, what is wished and yearned for is discussed
The card that came alongside this reading was the Widower from this deck, bringing a sense of loss, mourning, looking back, and it was bookended at the end of the week with the Widow card. Loss, grief, sorrow. A lot of the readings this week had a royal feel, and it seemed fitting then at the end of this week, almost 26 years to the day that his son Dodi died with Princess Diana in Paris, that ex Harrods boss and conspiracy theorist Mohammed Al-Fayed passed away at the age of 94. There was a lot in this reading that echoed the events of those days, although we must assume that the female Foe is present company and not someone from back then.
The same old themes abound though; superficiality, appearance’s sake, fake loyalties, money, a certain mob feel and drama, family and regrets over children. Meanwhile, next week of course, we have the first anniversary of the late Queen’s death and potential family dramas already hotting up, with Harry expected to make an appearance, presumably with wooden spoon in tow. He himself has not had a great success with his Netflix show this week, but is making a public show, albeit looking rather miserable, of still being with his wife.
Truth or lies? No doubt all will be revealed.
So what of the rest of the week’s reads? Let’s take a look below.
