Asking the gypsy cards: how will job hunting go

Asking the gypsy cards: how will job hunting go


Q:
I’d like to know how Job hunting will go.

A:

center-focus card for job hunting: travel
above-thought: hoping for a good arrival
below-undercurrent: jealousy 
left-behind-uncounscious influences: judgement
right-front-conscious act: letter

interpretation: 

you are already taking a lot of action for job-hunting, every time hoping for a good result, but being disappointed because somebody else was chosen.

unconsciously your inner judge is putting a lot of stress on your process.

it seems the oracle is trying to tell you: hold your horses, take a break, relax…

Only then there will be space for good news

Choosing a Tarot Deck 

Choosing a Tarot Deck 


So many decks to choose from…

Hard-core traditionalists would prefer old Tarot te Marseille, but I find most old artwork too ugly for my modern senses.

Other Traditional decks: Choose a Deck | Tarot Heritage

On the other hand…modern versions of TDM sometimes diverge too much from the original tradition, almost becoming a Rider-Waite-Smith clone.

Other modern TDM: Marseille inspired Tarot decks

Rider-Waite-Smith…need I say more?
Diverging from de original TDM, heavily loaded with Golden Dawn dogma!

What is less good? RWS clones! 

What is worse? Zombie RWS!

 

Interview with a new oracle deck:Tarot de Marseille

Interview with a new oracle deck:Tarot de Marseille


Casting of seven cards in a row, reading from left to right:

1. Please tell something about yourself
Denier 6: value for money
2. What is your most important character trait?
Epee 7: Resourcefulness
3. Your strengths as a deck of cards
XVI LaMaisonDieu: Upending stagnation
4. Your weaknesses as a deck of cards
XIIII Temperance: Slow moving
5. What is the best way to work with you?
XI LaForce: Discipline
6. The result of our partnership
Batons 7: Confidence
7. What else do you want to mention?
XVIII LaLune: Heed the visions

Gestalt reading: Denier 6-Epee 7-XVI LaMaisonDieu-XIIII Temperance-XI LaForce-Batons 7-XVIII LaLune.
Four major arcana:
XVI LaMaisonDieu-XIIII Temperance-XI LaForce–XVIII LaLune, the swift harshness of XVI LaMaisonDieu is tempered by the slow moving XIIII Temperance, while the power of the discplinarian XI LaForce is mellowed by the dreamy visionary XVIII LaLune,

Three minor arcana: two sevens (Epee & Baton) & Denier 6, the chancy sevens are grounded in the material world.
The emotional Coupe is missing, but on the other hand there is the dreamy XVIII LaLune.

It seems that here the Major Arcana shows the balancing act of opposite forces, while the Minor Arcana shows the grounding of complementary forces.

Conclusion: I have the feeling that Tarot de Marseille is really willing to work with me.

update…second opinions on the web:

1. The decks is best read using spreads;
2. Best answers positive, pro-active questions ( 7 connected to Chariot, Swords – Thoughts) ;
3. Sees through illusion and deception;
4. Agree with your interpretation;

Gypsy cards: my path after pension

Gypsy cards: my path after pension


reading: lover-merryment–unexpected joy-thought-desire

I preselected the Lover card and only picked 3 cards but then choose another card to see where your Thoughts were going. Merriment can show that you will have a great time, spending time with friends and enjoying company. I will make you happy (Unexpected Joy) and I am wondering if the combo Unexpected Joy and Thoughts can mean that you will have some surprising thoughts (brainstorming, light going on in the brain – een lichtje gaat aan) of what you really want to do (Desire)

Kipper daily reading

Kipper daily reading


7 message-27 unexpected income-34 occupation-20 judication-30home
reading:
it looks like you’ll have a surprise in its way today. When I look at this I see it might be something you were not looking forward to doing. I have the feeling it will be postponed for a while. It seems to be to your satisfaction though.
I also feel this is from the people above.
Anyhow! A good day with a relief surprise
When I see this I think of performance or project reports. 
…
feedback:
What happened in reality? I went to the barber, several bookshops and did some unwelcome chores at home.
Actually I was involved with a project some time ago but I quit because the conditions not safe enough in the context of covid.
Maybe I will reconnect with that project later next year, maybe I have to find another project with another group.
…
second opinion:
Somehow, I find 5 cards for a daily reading too many cards and the “cut the deck” method is much reliable- short & sweet. Beside it is a good practice to include it in your extend it readings with all your divination cards.
I can tell first hand this method is probably at least 150 years old.
Beside your interpretation I get another layer of info that is not a mundane activity but more a subject that is very much in the querent`s mind.
There are 2 time cards that shows a permanent development will take place in the next aprox. 2 weeks related to work place and documentations will be processed with legal discussion, advise & expertise.
The change will be permanent and affect the personal situation of the querent.
7+20= documents that have a personal character,
7+27= a contract probably and chained with 34= a work contract and money that have been worked hard for,
the 27+30= unexpected legal talks and advice, etc.
You chain the cards in line and also mirroring them. What does contain the documents?
7+34+20= a work contract that is very personal and affect the private area.
What more? The documents are also about hard earned money:7+27. etc.
The time cards are: 27 & 20.

feedback:
I am preparing for my pension, will have to arrange all relevant documents and cleanup my workspace.
Some legal talks & documentation might be expected to finish this job properly.
Gypsy: what about second wave COVID in the Netherlands?

Gypsy: what about second wave COVID in the Netherlands?


The soothsayer said…

The left 7 cards represent what has happened until now and the right 7 cards represent what will happen between now and the end of 2020.
Definitely struggled with this one since it is ‘medical’ but here we go: a man (Lover) with authority or in an official capacity (Officer) played by the rules/set the rules (Officer, can also be a medical professional) that declared COVID a big problem/problem on a large scale/state of emergency (Misfortune). The advice was given (Ecclesiastic) to stay home (House) and to stay around only your family members (House). This did not prevent people from dying (Death) …no idea what the Sweetheart would show here?
In the next few months there will still be a loss (or illness disappears?), people will be cared for (Widow), there will be a recovery (Journey), COVID will still be chronic (sadness) but there will be a positive upturn (gift) maybe due to a treatment (Marriage) that gives small improvements (some money)

My reading of the combos:
PAST:
Lover-Officer: charming Rutte and stern Grapperhaus, played at good cop- bad cop in the media coverage on COVID restrictions
Officer-Disaster: at first, a strict lockdown caused economic disaster
Misfortune-Ecclesiastic: as a consequence of COVID, the Prime Minister became the leading consigiliere
Ecclesiastic-House: The consigliere dominated the House of Representatives.
Death-Sweetheart: Death came for many beloved ones
FUTURE
Sweetheart-Loss: Intimacy is lessened (because of strict rules on social distancing)
Loss-Widow: losses are to be mourned
Widow-Travel: Widows will follow the hearse
Travel-Sadness: The passing away (of people) causes sadness
Sadness-Gift: The sadness will be soothed by a gift (vaccin?)
Gift-Marriage: The vaccin will work on COVID
Marriage-Some Money: A new hope arises, tentatively

A: reading from left to right..
Quitting: 22-13-32-28, confronting strict rules, shady business, reflecting on your worries
Staying: 36-7-11-14, hoping for good communications, receiving a profitable offer, but the promised luck is canceled

Kipper Grand Tableau: prognosis after pension

Kipper Grand Tableau: prognosis after pension


Q:my pension starts half oktober, what is the prognosis for the period afterwards?

A:
The first thing that strikes me in the picture is that you first have to sort and “find” yourself anew and that the pension is nevertheless connected with many fears.
And also the fear of getting old and losing your youthfulness C10 (journey) C13 (rich gent) C08 (dishonesty) and C24 (theft).
Behind the closed door at the C08 (dishonesty) is the C24(theft).
I have put 3 extra cards on top of it, what is it that makes you so afraid, where you don’t want to look or are afraid to look and that is fallen C32 (sorrow) and 2x the C05 (good gent).
Fear of getting old and also fear of becoming like your father?
Did your father become grumpy or aggressive in old age?
The C05 is mostly for the father – but can also stand for the grandfather.
You have seen something in a male relative that you don’t want to have – or how you don’t want to be. .
Your main topic is C09 (change). So the change…
What can still be seen here: are the injuries and feelings of abandonment that you experienced as a young man and as a child, which come up again: C13 (rich gent) C018 (child) C34 (work) C33 (gloomy thoughts) – and with that again old anger : C32 (sorrow)
Why? now you have the time to look at really old things again, to clean up and to heal. This will be sent to you again from “above”.
I have a young woman lying here C12 (rich girl). Is that your daughter or another female person?
It’s definitely a female person from the family – that the house – C20 (house) is with her.
There is a move to a house C09 (change) and C20 (house)…

Q: the C12 (rich girl) looks like moving?
A: yes.. under her C12 is C09 (change) and C20.(house).
But not away from you .. closer to you.. She wants more security and wants to get old with you C12 (rich girl) C07 (letter) C28 (expectation) C03 (marriage) C25 (honor).
I also think that she is hoping for your proposal to her.. C03 (marriage) and C25 (Conor)..
That is what her view is going to…

C09  (change) and C20 (house) could also show her wish of a change to a more “stabil Basis”
Some health issue I also see: C22 (military) and C31 (illness). Take care of your back and your joints. There I see a health issue

what is good to see: the last line in Future: C24 (theft) C25 (honours) C22 (military) C09 (change).
They (angels, good, Spirit – name it…) want you to have all the luck in the world they want to pour out happiness all over you – C 26 (Fortuna) – but this is only possible if you have “tidied up” beforehand and removed old themes from the way. Then the way is free for their presents..
In the past I can see, that you always have been a person who gave his “last shirt” for someone and a person with a big warm heart and willing to help everybody – but some people used this – C15 (Gift) C07 (letter) – C08 (dishonesty).

And I also see a dissapointment in a relationship C0 C03 C16 C14. You are on the way to leave this behind – because it is laying in the past.. but it would not be shown up in the picture, if this would not still have any influence on you. ..

I see MC1 in the 1st row meaning he is well situated despite worries
Q: Both in past and future there is 8-the False person
A:
yes.. because things have went wrong in the past – and have triggered fears in you, which you have taken with you into the future, because they are not (yet) resolved. That means in the next months it is important to look at it, to look at it, to dissolve and heal it. Then you don’t need these fears anymore

Your soul is clearing the way for blessings to come – before you have to go through old subjects to untie yourself – than healing and a lot of blessings will come into your life.
The Healing light says: a miracoulus change will come full with unlimited blessings.. als a present for your Your courage to face these old issues again …
