Weekly Roundup: JANUARY SALE plus Month Ahead, H&M 2024, Release of THOSE Papers & What's Behind Closed Doors?
Catch-up on all posts for the first week of January 2024
So it was a welcome back for us all this week for the start of 2024!
I do have one more Big 2024 Year Ahead layout to send you early next week, but then that will be it for those, and then we can get on with more details, layouts and info for all the oracle decks I use on the Daily Oracle website and for the newsletter.
Don’t forget, the poll as to which Royal pairing you’d like me to read on next is still open, so do please vote in that! You can find that poll in Tuesday’s post below. Currently in the lead are William & Andrew.
Tuesday: 2024 Fortune Telling Reading: Harry & Meghan
This Week’s Spreads
I introduced the Reversed Pyramid Spread in a reading just before Christmas, so do check out the How-Tos below (as well as the gossip it reveals about Prince Andrew):
We also returned to the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Oracle this week, a GT from the Piatnik Traditional Zigeuner cards, which are read in much the same way as Kipper GTs, a 9-Card Box Spread with the Sibylle des Salons, and to end the week, a read on the release of the Epstein papers, using the Mystic 7s, which has fast become one of my very favourite spreads.
Another reminder of how you lay and read that one here:
And don’t forget, of course, that details and how to pages on our 19th century oracle decks (Sibilla decks, Kipper, Lenormand etc) are available to ALL paid subscribers for the duration of your subscription—and will continue being added to with additional information, spreads and in-depth articles on a regular basis this year.
January Sale!
PS If you’d like to sign up as a paid subscriber to get FULL daily readings and deets PLUS access to those oracle card pages, my January Sale offer for new subscribers, both monthly and annual is available from now until January 25th! Sign up by clicking below!
This Week’s Readings
So what has happened newswise this week? Well, we had Queen Margrethe of Denmark and her surprise abdication at the start of the week (let’s hope her son and heir got sufficiently warned about it this time, as Queen M does like to spring a surprise, it seems!) Headaches for the UK Royals already, with Andrew’s (misguided in my opinion) attempted rehabilitation scuppered by the release of the Epstein Papers at the end of the week in which he features heavily. Let’s just hope he doesn’t distract too much from the other, doubtless smarter, famous male figures mentioned, although a great many were not a surprise. Some were, however (Stephen Hawking, anyone? David Copperfield?)
In other news, the UK is awash with outrage over the frankly unbelievably terrible Post Office scandal (with many innocent postmasters being wrongly convicted for fraud due to software problems, destroying many lives and even leading to suicides) which is only now, after years, finally being investigated by the Met Police after being documented in a moving ITV drama.
Meanwhile, earthquakes hit Japan, but in some rare good news, there was a quite spectacular escape for all passengers from a burning Japanese jet that burst into flames on the runway after hitting a small rescue plane, whose passengers did not, sadly, survive. And in the US, questions abound as to whether or not Trump will be allowed to run for President again, so I can see this running for some time.
What did the cards say, then, did they pick up on any of this?
Happy New Year! A Reading For The Month Ahead
The cards suggest that this month, we will be seeing someone who is harmed by talkativeness, giving away more information than was intended, or revealing a secret that will backfire. Someone who should really be keeping their counsel doesn’t, and there are consequences of that, most likely an attack, or at the very least, wounded pride. All is not lost, however, as whoever it is has luck on their side, higher powers looking out for them, and the love and tenderness surrounding them should provide comfort at this time. Meanwhile, a woman who has sucked them dry will turn away and offer no help or assistance, but things look good for the family, institution or place, which should be seeing success in all affairs. There is unpleasant news to come, however, and they will have no control over the circumstances of it, but will be warmed by love during cold, difficult days.
There is a very strong overall message here about unity and loyalty, which comes up in three of the four images. A strong friendship and bond will be a support for a lifetime to both parties involved, and there is a sense of loyalty and faithfulness until death, bringing a happy life full of meaning. The companionship and support given is unwavering. However, there will also be a change in relations with some friends and allies, perhaps more fairweather friends, which will eventually lead to a change in place of residence or a move of some kind.
So who’s this? It has a whiff of everyone pulling together loyally in the face of a scandal, doesn’t it, so I’d suggest it’s probably yet another Royal one, although there are certain US former presidents in particular that this could also refer to. Will Andrew continue to attempt rehabilitation once again, protected by the Firm? Or has it got too much now? The Woman could well be either Ghislaine Maxwell or Virginia Guiffre, in slightly different aspects. It could also involve ANYONE who’s been included in those now-released Epstein depositions, where previously redacted names of particularly male individuals have been revealed.
The rest of the week’s readings were as follows, so if you want to find out about Harry & Megz in 2024 (groan!), what’s behind closed doors in general, what the cards said about those Epstein papers, and an apparent bit of gossip about a woman and a secret love, read on!
