Here’s my roundup for the week just gone on the Daily Oracle.
Oracle Card Info & Layouts
We’ve returned to the classic Italian Vera Sibilla cards now to start looking more deeply at them, firstly by taking a look at the deck with regards to the playing card symbols and suits and how they fit with the cards’ meanings. Next, we’ll be looking at how these playing card references can add nuance and detail to readings with this deck and how they can be used, as well as more details and practice reading this deck.
You can check that post out here.
Don’t forget that if you’re a paid subscriber, you have access to ALL how-to posts about the Vera Sibilla as well as other decks, at ANY time on the Daily Oracle website. Just go here and check out what we’ve got so far:
Layouts-wise, as well as some classic 9-Card Spreads, we also used the traditional Hungarian “Gypsy’s Answer” spread again, as well as the Wheel of Fortune. Get reminders of how to lay and read those two here:
The Readings
This week, I based most of my readings on diving further into the issues that came up in the Week Ahead reading that I did on Monday with the Russian Fortune Telling Cards, so I looked at the issue of karma, as well as something that had been delayed and needed action on. I drew a reading on the New Hampshire primary, where all eyes were on the Republican sides’s battle between Trump and Nikki Haley as a flavour of what’s to come re: Trump. I also read on dark rumours that have been doing the rounds in some circles that multiple Royal illnesses in such a short space of time are NOT a coincidence. So let’s take a look.
This Week: Time For Action & Justice, But Watch Out For Karma. Bonds & Family Relations Are In The Picture
There’s a suggestion here that swift action needs to be taken on someone or something, as any delay will lose precious momentum. Time to do something and stop prevaricating. There’s a strong message about karma and justice; it WILL come back, so any “evil” or badly-intentioned actions will have consequences and will come back on those who performed them. Someone’s means of earning money is likely to come into the picture, and there are strong bonds and alliances at play that will last for a lifetime. There will be a disagreement within a family or with allies, and problems in a relationship, and it could be an issue with complacency; someone not noticing what they have or how lucky they are. A disruption or interruption in the relationship between lovers, friends or allies ensues.
Overall, these cards suggest that a sense of purity and integrity will win out, but that gut reactions should be followed. Those in the news need to know who their friends are, who will support them, and who will be faithful and constant allies. There appears to be a change in residence or move for someone. And a bond or agreement with a loved person brings a friendship that will be a support for life.
Disputes of various kinds appear to be dragging out and not ending any time soon, whether it’s bitter Royal feuds, actual wars, or Trump and his rivals. Bad behaviour (although not everyone will agree on what that is and if it’s the case) continues apace. The question is, should things have been nipped in the bud earlier, for whom and at what point? The cards later this week suggest AN answer to this, but is it THE answer as to what these cards are referring? “Families” can be actual families, groupings, households, even political parties and tribes. All of this came up this week, as did the issue of karma and payback. Definitely one very unsettling reading later in the week about Royal illnesses, but is that because my cards are just reflecting what lots of people are saying (which is interesting in itself) or something else? They were very clear in their imagery, anyway.
The “karma” seems to follow on from that, IF anything untoward has in fact been going on behind the scenes, but someone else was definitely getting their comeuppance today, and that was Trump. He may have won in NH, but has just been ordered by a court to pay E. Jean Carroll $83 million for defaming her. Karma indeed.
Let’s take a look at the rest of the readings with the news in mind.
