As this is a time of potential changes for my family, I thought I'd break out the trusty Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards and see what's ahead for the month. There had already been a few good omens (several synchronicities, a crane flying overhead while I prayed to Quan Yin) and the Chinese fortune sticks had also given a pleasant forecast, whatever way we choose to go. I was curious as to what these cards would say.
For posterity, here is the reading, in short version:
Apple, second position - a pleasant unexpected occurrence, a present.
Clover, second position - happiness, slightly clouded by a misunderstanding.
Handshake, first position - a strong friendship will support you your entire life.
Lily, first position - a happy life full of meaning.
Branches, fourth position - tears, an offense.
Pig, first position - purely a happy and prosperous year.
Anchor, third position- disillusionment with the ideal, doubts.
Bear, third position - you will get you want, though not in the immediate future.
Final card, synthesis -
Crayfish, fourth position - too much haste often defeats the business.
Scales, third position - if you maintain your balance, you will come out whole from a predicament.
Fisher King, fourth position - in a difficult moment, you won't sink but will rise to the surface.
House, third position - beware of people surrounding you.
Final card, final outcome-
Crayfish - having made too bold a step, you will back off.
Scales - in your fate, good will outweigh evil
Fisher King - fortune, especially on the sea.
House - you will enjoy success in all affairs.
All in all, I was quite pleased with this reading. It went along very well with the others, and while a couple of cards were less than fabulous, they make perfect sense in context of the situation.
I do have to wonder if it means that we will put off our changes for a little while, until the time is just right. But there's this feeling that the choice will be ours to make, either way.
Who knows what will happen? But as of this moment, that's the lay of the land.
Yes, I know the fish card is not officially named the "fisher king" but that's what we call him and it's a lucky tradition these days.
