Weekly Roundup: Madness, Grand Passions, Gossip, A Power Ends & Behind The Scenes Deals
A look back at my predictions for the week ending November 13th 2022
So how did my news predictions do this past week?
As a reminder, you can click on the titles or daily summaries to see the full layout of each reading and my analysis/prediction.
I get the feeling that some of these were exploring more general atmospheres and dynamics around at the moment. There’s a real intensity about, it seems to me, particularly politically, and this continuous feeling of instability, the process of having to really get at what’s under the surface and perhaps not being able to rely on “the old order”(for any of us) any more, as it seems to be crumbling somewhat before it can renew and remake. Just my take.
Thanks also to all of you commenting with your thoughts and suggestions for what you’re picking up from these! Do keep ‘em coming!
The Week Ahead: An Untrustworthy Man & Significant Problem, & Fighting For A Grand Passion
I’m still not sure who the man would be here. “Grand passions” can occur in various walks of life: it does more have the essence of Prince Harry, though he wasn’t really in the news, but also, as we saw later in the week, Vladimir Putin and his grand plans - passions do not always have to be about love. That said, Putin has failed so far, although is unlikely to admit it, but it’s not over til it’s over, and I wouldn’t trust that it is, especially with him. Harry, meanwhile, has trouble coming but will continue to try to make capital out of it. There are various politicians, esp in the US, this might fit too. We still have to see.
Tuesday: Gossip About The Love Life Of An Older Man
Public chatter and opinion about the love life of an older, wealthy, rather selfish man.
This seemed pretty spot-on to me, and was about Charles and the dropping of Netflix’s The Crown, with people talking about his love life (and some of its more excruciating incidents e.g. Camillagate tapes) again. He and Camilla also had an egg thrown at them by a young protestor on a walkabout in York, though this will have had nothing to do with the TV show.
Wednesday: Drunkenness Or Delirium Of Enemies, A Journey Of Bonding With Falseness
The US mid-terms turned out MUCH better for the Dems than they feared , so I’m not convinced this reading was about this issue. I have a feeling this is something much wider, a general delirium politically. Enemies, untrustworthiness, false love, strange alliances sitting underneath, the “men of letters” still on a journey. I think this is all still playing out.
Thursday: Talks Of Ending, Or Final Talks Around Power, Strength, Defence
Final talks, or those that bring an end to power or a show of strength.
Sometimes, it’s the smaller readings that have the biggest impact. I’m pretty certain this was about Russia (that Russian Bear) and the draining of power and strength, with their withdrawal from Kherson.
Friday: Something Kept From Us, Remembering To Give Back, Big Changes and a Separation.
Again, a more generalised ‘atmosphere’ reading, which was for the UK, using the Russian Gypsy Oracle Deck, a kind of “Lenormand extra” and clearly with similar roots. Dying to know what the big secret is being hidden from the public (I mean, “You mean there’s even MORE?”) but am sure we’ll find out in time if the reading is correct. A timely reminder, though, to share a sense of community wherever we can and show the generosity to help others where we have been helped. The split sounds as if it’s with another country or within the Union (Scotland?), and where do we start with the initial flop of an enterprise? SO many to choose from!
Saturday: A Man, A Woman, A Hidden or False Judgement & Business or Businessman
As one reader pointed out, this could well have been about Ursula von der Leyen and the continuing investigation into her texts and ‘backroom deal’ with the CEO of Pfizer. Not the only person with texts and messages on various topics being investigated at the moment (several UK politicians too); this is what I mean about a lot going on under the surface and behind closed doors but it somehow all getting exposed at this time anyway.
So that’s it for this week! What did you think? Roll on the next!
