I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. I take reading requests until 8pm Central Time (Chicago Illinois USA) on Sunday night. Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones:
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
Though I am flattered that people want readings after the deadline, I decline reading requests made after 8pm Central Time on Sunday night without exception.
I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via email -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline.
Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break. My next planned break is the week of Sunday, March 24.
For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.
I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal. If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

Date: 2024-02-25 05:31 am (UTC)I asked about going back to school in one of three cities a little while ago; all three applications are done, but suddenly a fourth location has caught my attention.
Do your ogham think things will work out if I make the school application I’m considering? I’m thinking of doing it for either this year or next year, and am not sure at a logical level if it’s a good idea, but I have an intuitive sense I should explore it. Do your ogham have anything to say for it in general, and for the application for this year or next year?
no subject
Date: 2024-02-26 04:21 am (UTC)My Ogham like the fourth location. They provide Eadha or Limits well-dignified in reference to it, meaning that it provides a sensible alternative that you'll be able to use to its fullest. Perhaps they are saying it is a better school program, it's more affordable somehow, or that its environment will aid your focus on your studies.
As for this year, they don't care for it. They give Beith or Intention ill-dignified, which indicates that a good beginning isn't possible on it this year or that you have to gather your wits and resources.
As for next year, they like it a great deal. They provide Oir or Epiphany well-dignified, which indicates synchronicities that will occur that help you understand why this timing has been suggested to you.
Love uncrossing work
Date: 2024-02-25 10:07 am (UTC)I've continued to do the live uncrossing work to remove blocks and obstacles to having a happy longterm relationship, and to cleanse myself of negativity from past relationships. My questions are as follows:
1. Has the love uncrossing work I have completed been successful in removing these obstacles and negativity from past relationships?
2. If not, what would be the result of continuing the uncrossing baths I am doing?
3. If the result for the above is not positive, what sort of other work should I consider?
Thanks as always,
P
Re: Love uncrossing work
Date: 2024-02-26 04:35 am (UTC)My Ogham suggest rethinking your investment in this uncrossing work. It is possible it has served its purpose and that you need to move on.
They give you three cards as answers.
For the first question "have I been successful in removing obstacles/negativity" they say No. They give Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which means your Holy Guardian Angel or Higher Self is trying to communicate but the focus on past drama may be getting in the way. Your best bet is to take the heat off of the desire to find a mate and to siphon your energy towards what makes you unique and special, i.e. what you are good at. In my own case, my life's work seems to be pointing towards folk music in the form of the Orphic hymns and writing non-fiction. Luckily for me I am happily married, so my mind is not pre-occupied with thoughts of pairing off. They are saying you should act (at least temporarily) like you don't need to think about love at all so you can develop what makes you incredible and special for a time.
For the result of the uncrossing baths, they give you Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. This means that they are not harmful but they have served their purpose and given what they had to give. The Ogham say go ahead and keep doing them if you enjoy them, but otherwise you can take them or leave them.
For other work you should consider, they give you Quert or Delight ill-dignified. What this means is they think you need to work on "small" things like courtesy, kindness, and gratitude, but not to be a pushover that becomes resentful once you've been all used up by jerks. There is always a happy medium between spendthrift and miser, between doormat and entitled, and between wallflower and party animal. In other words, know your limits and be polite and firm about them. Find happiness in tiny details and the positive, quiet things most take for granted... play Pollyanna's Glad Game.
Family and Money
Date: 2024-02-25 10:36 am (UTC)Wasn’t on time last week, so I hope I’ll come through this time.
I live in an East Asian country with my native wife and our two kids. Last week, her parents told us out of the blue that they expect her and me to take up a mortgage so that they can buy a new flat, which in turn would become ours once they leave this world.
The sum in question is very large, and the credit period would span 30 years. Given our shared views with JMG, and what the demographic situation of the country will do to real estate prices within a generation, I argued that that idea doesn't make much sense, especially since much more reasonable options are available. But they suffer from a severe case of normalcy bias, and are in any case accustomed to them speaking, not listening, so it fell on deaf ears. My wife, by contrast, told them flatly no, to which they reacted with a disappointed "let's talk another day".
The local culture is heavily into family obligation and filial piety, and her parents as well as my younger brother-in-law tried to use precisely this venue to bully/manipulate us into giving in. I don't think this will work with her, and I will certainly not put my name under such a mortgage contract. But we are certain they haven’t given up.
I do wonder how to deal with this situation without leaving too much destruction behind. As alluded above, my wife is of the rather blunt and honest kind, which in her native culture unfortunately doesn't redound to her advantage.
Can your Ogham give us a reading of the situation, how we should proceed, and what the likely outcome will be? Thanks so much for your help!
Re: Family and Money
Date: 2024-02-26 04:53 am (UTC)Goodness... that is overbearing of them! I can understand if they were the ones paying for it, but they're basically saying "chain yourselves to this property you don't want so we can gift it to you when we die".
My Ogham think you are right to give them a hard No. For the You position, they give Oir or Epiphany ill-dignified, meaning you understand exactly what is going on and you are 100 percent correct to stay far away from this deal. Not one of us can predict the future, and that's why you have to go with your gut. Your gut is clearly saying this isn't a good option. The Ogham agree.
For the Situation, they give Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Yes, your wife's parents are going to throw a royal hissy fit and they are going to make this as awful as they possibly can, whether it is a quiet or loud guilt trip or both. The Ogham suggest you tell them as little as possible and play everything close to the vest. It's sad, but your wife needs to be ready to face off with her parents over this; they believe they are entitled and they don't think they have to take No for an answer. They seem very manipulative. Always stall for time when they press you for a decision and stay true to your own North. They are going to make this difficult and you will both need to be unified and strong with your own secret plans in place at all times.
For "how to deal without leaving too much destruction behind" they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. True generosity has nothing to do with money being thrown about or property transfers. Generosity that comes from the heart sublimates everything it touches to the power of seven. The only thing you can do to repel your wife's relatives ugly expectations and warped manipulations is to refuse to act that way in your own life. Don't expect others to pick up the tab, don't chase unearned wealth, and be grateful for the simple things instead of being greedy. In this way, you will embody the kind of energy that repels what your wife's parents are putting out into the world. Kindly and firmly tell them No and say "Though we appreciate you guys, this just isn't for us." Bless them and release them into the infinite (i.e. move far away and stop talking to them) if necessary. Hopefully it won't come to that.
Feedback and Week
Date: 2024-02-25 11:28 am (UTC)Again, your Ogham gave me very apt warnings last week, thank you and thank them. One was about getting more involved with C. Don't know if this might be of interest to you, but part of my awakening from atheistic stupor was as the result of me moving close to a wood which I started walking daily, and somewhere during the p**demic 'Something' made itself felt there. I think I might have encountered a very old god of wild things. I started (and continue) blundering about trying to make sense of it all, or establish a relationship with this deity. I think where I made a mistake was going down the route of C. I won't go into too much detail but I think the deity of the wood let me know in no uncertain terms that he (and it is a He, unmistakably) was not pleased with me and the direction I was taking my spiritual development. I woke up the day before a major step to be taken in C, with the physical after-effects of an assault. Following C would have meant a map spread out for me with easy to follow instructions, I think that's what attracted me. I'm lazy by nature. Whereas Entity in the Wood is old, very very old and comes with no instruction manual, nor do I know exactly how to think about one that would treat me like this. Yikes. Or, I could just be imagining it all. But your Ogham warnings just made sense to me in this context re. C being an entity to be approached with great caution (C not being Christianity, something else).
Secondly last week, I asked about turning down an invitation from a friend (really, an acquaintance, who I had hoped would turn into a good friend) to go on an expensive trip, and was confirmed in what I knew I had to do: I couldn't accept the invitation without plunging myself into even more financial distress I already am trying to claw myself out of. So I gave my apologies and turned it down. Now, being a bit on the spectrum, I'm not good at reading people, but I get the idea that this person is very offended now.
I hope my rambling feedback was not too tedious!
My question this week is for a heads-up for the week, and if I am allowed one more card, could I get a word on the friend whose invitation I turned down please?
There are signs of spring here in my neck of the woods in England, and I can't wait because with the warmer weather my two cats might start following me into the woods again, which they often do if it's not too wet and cold. (Thought you might appreciate that picture :)
Many thanks and blessings as always.

Re: Feedback and Week
Date: 2024-02-26 05:09 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! The old god of the woods sounds like an interesting guy. I have run into crotchedy forest entities before -- nothing so powerful as a god, just general land spirits. The fun part comes when you don't have to go into the forest at all to talk to them...
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This one can point to being bummed or depression, or it can be the opposite problem of false transcendence where you insist to yourself and everyone else that it's all OK when it is not. It also talks about the need to be your best self and secure and unswayed in your moral convictions. Be firm and don't let the turkeys get you down.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. It sounds like you are beating yourself up too much. Yes, you've been ignorant and perhaps lazy but all humans are ignorant and lazy: that's the human condition. The best you can do is to say "I choose to be a better person today than I was yesterday, if only by the slightest amount". Keep in mind humans are dumb and you and I are no exception. Add the general spiritual retardation most of us suffer in this demonic age and it's a miracle any of us can discern anything divine at all. The Ogham say you need to give yourself a break. You're doing fine; take it slow and keep practicing.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This one shows that your crotchedy forest god is highly likely to give you more chances. Also keep your eye out for human allies. By giving people the benefit of the doubt and starting at a baseline of gratitude and generosity, you can truly work wonders in your life with the connections you make. Sure, maybe you weren't generous and grateful in the time before but that doesn't prevent you from being generous and grateful from now on.
For your fourth question, they give Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. Duir isn't truly a bad card even when ill-dignified, so at its worst, this person may be behaving like a spoiled brat (if they are indeed miffed) and they will get over it. It's also entirely possible this is a nothingburger and they're not offended at all. Duir seems to indicate the offense is all in your imagination.
Re: Feedback and Week
Date: 2024-02-26 08:31 am (UTC)Follow-up reading
Date: 2024-02-25 01:40 pm (UTC)A couple of weeks ago, you were so kind to provide me with a reading regarding my plan to open a company in the education sector, to which your Ogham gave me the best possible endorsement. Now I would like to inquire as to what would be the best way to go about this, what problems I can expect along the way, and who I should target in the beginning.
Thanks for your help!
Re: Follow-up reading
Date: 2024-02-26 05:19 am (UTC)Thank you!
My Ogham give you three cards. For your first question "What would be the best way to go about this?" they give Luis or Protection well-dignified. This is to say you should reach out to your protectors, and this means you should pray to your HGA or Holy Guardian Angel for advice as well as multiple deities. You might try Hermes or Mercury as he is the god of commerce and communication as well as Athena and Apollo. My Ogham truly think this is your Path with a capital P.
As far as problems, they give Oir or Epiphany ill-dignified. Your issues will be in wanting to help people you cannot help. There will also be problems finding the resources and best people due to the limits we all face. You are going to have to sacrifice in order to make this happen and it won't all be fair winds in your sails.
For whom you should target, the Ogham give Quert or Delight well-dignified. Do you know anyone in the hospitality or restaurant sector? For some reason they are hinting that that person is a good connection. Overall, you need to mainly work through women and women's groups. Facebook might be a good place as it tends to be a gathering place for women of motherly and grandmotherly age.
March 2024
Date: 2024-02-25 01:45 pm (UTC)I hope you are having a pleasant late winter season! I know a lot of people don't like this time of year - they say they find it depressing - but I rather enjoy it. The pressure of the holidays is long gone, but the hustle of spring hasn't yet arrived. To me, February-into-early March feel rather like early morning, when one is starting to wake up, but doesn't actually have to get out of bed just yet. But maybe that's just me, lol.
Anyway, may I have a reading for the month of March 2024 please?
Much appreciation,
Jan
Re: March 2024
Date: 2024-02-26 05:27 am (UTC)I am, thanks! It's feeling like Spring here lately in Illinois. I am a freak though and I love Winter, so I would be fine if it was cold for another two months.
You drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. This is a card of getting your point across, speaking your mind in a way that enables you to be heard, and setting limits on what escapes your brain so that everything still in your brain retains potency. It is also a card of using technology to your advantage and making human connections with strangers.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Your expectations line up with reality: you don't make a mess of things by either dismissing them or puffing them up into grandeur. You are a straight shooter. This is a time where you can relax a little: you've put some good in place, so take a chill pill and enjoy the fruits of your labor, give yourself a mini-reward, enjoy a small treat. This is a way of focusing on the positive. Just as we would reward our dog for not pooping on the rug or sitting when we ask, we need to reward ourselves on occasion... Good doggy!
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath can be a danger card in my Ogham, so I will issue a warning for you to be wary all of March. Don't run with scissors, don't climb sketchy ladders, and don't cross streets against the light. That said, this card more often than not speaks of imbalanced Martial force. Too little and you end up listless and indecisive: "My get up and go got up and went". Too much Martial force and you're overbearing, making everyone's decisions for them. Hang back, don't be a bully, but if you are called to be a hero, you are going to have to make up your mind quickly and spring into action.

no subject
Date: 2024-02-26 05:38 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week: all are ill-dignified. Though that may seem dire, keep in mind it is usually anything but. Very recently I had an all ill-dig reading that turned out for the best because the Ogham gave me a heads up on how to react to potential negatives. It worked and I came out on top.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. You may find yourself impatient over results or frustrated that investments (including non-money investments like time spent) aren't panning out as hoped. Be patient but not infinitely patient. Use your spider senses to determine whether to stay in the game or cut your losses.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Straight up, you or someone close to you may be acting like an insensitive ass this week. Or maybe someone is over-sensitive. This is usually a function of ego. Too much ego and we get puffy, insecure, and butthurt. Remember that you and everyone else has an ecosystem: listening to it is powerful. It doesn't always tell you what you want to hear.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. Either you're expecting too much from your local world of semi-strangers or they are asking too much of you. Draw your limits and keep them well while you don't push others too much. Kindness and courtesy go a long way, but always maintain your distance.

I'm finishing school in July. Do the Ogham have any advice for what I should pursue afterwards?
Thank you for your time.

Date: 2024-02-26 05:41 am (UTC)Query
Date: 2024-02-25 05:02 pm (UTC)First time participating in this exercise I believe.
My question is, what would be the best use of my time and efforts for the remainder of the calendar year 2024?
The reason for asking is there is a lot going on, not all of it good and much of that is out of my control, so I want to know what to prioritize.
I guess I'll say a general prayer to Apollo/Helios for your, and all of we Ecosophians, protection and blessing.
Best,
Deneb
Re: Query
Date: 2024-02-26 05:54 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards. All are ill-dignified, but to my mind this is an opportunity to prevent a great deal of imbalance before it takes root.
For the You card, you drew Oir or Epiphany. You need to have a painful realization (or several realizations) of the necessary kind that will alter your life for the better. It is the spiritual equivalent of pulling out a sliver. Once you do the painful deed, it will improve everything around it, but getting it out is not going to be a picnic.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. Tinne is a danger card in my Ogham, especially when ill-dignified, so I will utter my usual warning about not doing dumb human tricks and being risk-adverse. Other than that, this card says you need to look at your own concept of security and re-assess it because you are missing key pieces. For instance, people often move out of the dangerous city to the suburbs for "the schools", not realizing that suburban public school is an astral cesspit that regularly turns out damaged, brainwashed drones who cannot think or do anything meaningful for themselves. You have to reconsider your wants and how to get them.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Ego gets in the way of sensitivity reliably often, and in order to resensitize ourselves, we need to put our insecurities in perspective. Most people suffer from spiritual insensitivity: it is the most common defect of our age. In order to resensitize yourself, start with gratitude for tiny things, and literally thank the objects, spaces, and people in your life. If you open your mind, you begin to hear them answering with a quiet "You're welcome."

You drew three cards for this week.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. You may be tempted to say more than necessary and reveal more of yourself than is prudent: heed the warning and SHUT UP. You'll be glad you did. Better to feel isolated than to feel you've made a fool of yourself and are isolated for actual reasons!
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You can feel good about not backsliding into past negative behaviors. Despite the people around you being a bit of a mess, you stand out as a positive example of how to do regret the right way: genuine, modest repentance.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. I often take a financial hit when this card comes around, so look out. This card can also talk about feeling lousy, not wanting to be flexible, and having to deal with someone else's inflexibility or reluctance to move with the times.

Date: 2024-02-25 07:02 pm (UTC)As per your Ogham, the second part of last week was mostly lovely. The encouragement to keep some things to myself was a very helpful note.
I need to think about how to proceed with a sticky situation. I don't need to do anything just yet. But eventually, I will need to take action.
I would like to know what your Ogham advise, in general, for the situation.
Many thanks and blessings, Heloise
no subject
Date: 2024-02-26 03:33 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback, I always appreciate it.
Regarding your sticky situation, my Ogham give you Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. They are saying you will have to do your homework, and it could be grueling. You will have to figure this out from every available angle and approach, leaving no stone unturned. For instance, when someone who is a total beginner wants to learn to sing, they have to be willing to do the most basic and banal of exercises every day without great expectations. Even better is when they supplement whatever I am teaching them with stuff they find on the internet or extra listening. They are chopping wood and carrying water and doing what it takes to attain skill. You have to be unflinching and nose to the grindstone, seeking total immersion in the knowledge of your sticky situation.

Date: 2024-02-26 03:40 pm (UTC)My Ogham say Yes, there are multiple deities you should pray to at this time. They give Mor or Sea well-dignified, which indicates a laundry list of gods: basically you are to throw things at the wall to see whether or not they stick. I suggest oceanic gods such as Poseidon, but also look into lunar goddesses (the moon and the sea are connected) and try gods of "all" such as Zeus and Pan. Yes, meditating on the planets is a good idea. My Ogham like that a great deal for you. This card indicates you should start with the Moon. If it's any help, I worship and pray to a bunch of gods. I pray to the Druid gods, nearly the entire Greco-Roman pantheon, Odin, Freya, Lady Bastet, Christian saints, and Jesus. I believe Jesus is the god who threw me the "generosity and gratitude sublimate everything they touch" concept.

Date: 2024-02-25 08:00 pm (UTC)a) Did I have such an incarnation?
b) If so, am I correct about where and when it was?
no subject
Date: 2024-02-26 03:45 pm (UTC)For the first question, Yes, you did have that incarnation. They give Muin or Harvest, which may indicate something about the incarnation itself, but to my mind likely means that your consciousness is at the ripening point where you are beginning to accurately recall your past lives.
For the second question, Yes, and they give Fearn or Bridge as to where and when. Remembering this incarnation is a puzzle piece that will help you to recall other incarnations and more importantly the reasons you incarnated as those beings. If it is any help, I had several very short lives in Eastern Europe. I died young as part of the karma of being a murderer in a lifetime even further back in the past.

Date: 2024-02-25 10:51 pm (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2024-02-26 03:55 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. This is a potential danger card in my Ogham, so I will utter my usual warning about "slow and steady wins the race", take precautions, etc. Health truly is everything and it needs to be prioritized and revered. Simple is best -- in my opinion, putting one's trust in the allopathic doctors of our era is a grave mistake. At least get a second and a third opinion from someone who isn't completely bought and sold by the allopathic system. Pragmatically, daily exercise, clean eating, a quality multivitamin supplement, and getting sunshine, especially in the spleen area (yes, I am suggesting at least partially removing your shirt while outside and letting the sun beat down on your ribcage) can go a long way in remedying etheric starvation and the illnesses that invariably accompany it.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence. You are seeing the logical result of many good works you have put in place. Some of these are from long ago. It is easy to see it as all bad luck, but the Ogham are saying it could be much, much worse. You can sublimate your good luck by focusing on it and thanking the Divine for saving you so many times. Think of it this way: when you do someone a favor and they are grateful to you, you are likely to extend them more favors. But if they suck it all up with greed, pout, and expect you to service them for free, you'll probably want to boot them out the door.
For the Outcome, you drew Oir or Epiphany ill-dignified. The Ogham are saying it is decision time -- for me, this is tax season, ugh -- and that you need to have a necessary realization of exactly where you are. As horrible as Meatworld can be, it is always testing us to see what we are made out of and in the long, long, LONG scheme of things, it is a net good.

Date: 2024-02-26 12:39 am (UTC)Good evening. I have asked previously about a large (175 sq ft) art project. Your last reading was positive and favorable.
What I've done since: started then stopped promoting the project and instead extended the project to a doubling in surface area (will be 350
sq ft) in two sections.
Part Two is different but similar to the Part One and also offers a partial re-contextualization of some earlier images.
I'm halfway complete with this.
I have a plan for Part Three (text is involved) but that would take up to another year. I'm tired and broke!
I think my question is 'Will my two-part work be well received as it stands?'
Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-26 03:57 pm (UTC)My Ogham say Yes, the two part work will be well-received as it stands. They give Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which means you've got enough tracks in space behind you as an artist for people to trust your vision and genius. Good luck!

Thanks!
-Eugene
Re: Week 9
Date: 2024-02-26 04:07 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week. All were well-dignified. Keep in mind though this looks rosy from the outset, looks could be deceiving. What I have noticed about all well-dig readings in my Ogham is they indicate triumph over drama and hardship is highly likely because of strength of character.
For the You position, you drew Mor or Sea. Things are a bit cleaner than usual in your corner of the collective astral. Mostly this is like the weather: you didn't make it happen. Nevertheless, you can take advantage of this time by scoping out future plans and determining areas in which you would like to develop yourself.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge. The blinders begin to come off and you have a glimpse of truth. People are just as confused, afraid, and lost as you are, and you have a shot at helping them not by pouring your effort into living their lives for them (or spying on what they are thinking) but by working on yourself. By gaining perspective with the help of the Earth herself, you can genuinely help because you will have "been there, done that". It reminds me of the people working in addiction counseling who actually used to be addicts -- they truly get what it was like to be an addict, so that's what makes them able to help.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence. Koad is a crossroads or a snapshot of where you are. The Ogham think you are on the right path. Even the worst dancer (me) has to start somewhere with a sad, pathetic, side by side shuffle. If that's all you can do, so be it. The worst comedian has to begin with a single knock knock joke. The worst hoarder has to begin with throwing one thing away. Never give up. Think of the drip-drip of water that became the Grand Canyon. We all have to start somewhere.

Date: 2024-02-26 04:19 pm (UTC)This week may be a bit of a doozy: all three cards were ill-dignified. That said, I have had triumphant days associated with all ill-dig readings. In fact, the other day was a prime example. It basically had to do with the way I reacted. I certainly had a choice of being mean and butthurt but instead took the high road and it worked out nicely for me.
For the You or most immediate position, you and the fam got Nuin or Communication. Being extremely direct with points that need to be made is helpful, but there also needs to be limits on the instinct of wanting to know everything. People truly need their privacy. My own parents were always very good about respecting my privacy -- that is a lesson that needs to be imparted by example. Not micromanaging someone's life is a gesture of trust and a quiet way of saying "I love you". Additionally, this card being ill-dig can refer to nastiness from strangers, malfunctioning, annoying, or intrusive technology, or difficulty in travel.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace. Everybody needs some rest, perhaps one or two members of the fam than others, but something's gotta give. Etheric labor a.k.a. housework and home maintenance is HARD and just because it is unpaid does not diminish its value. Without etheric labor, we would all live in an episode of Hoarders. This card also indicates not wanting to let go of what is past its prime or what is not meant to be. Always examine your desires in meditation to make sure they aren't a symptom of entitlement, especially of "I want one because everyone else has one!" materialism.
For the Outcome, you drew Oir or Epiphany. A realization needs to happen and it is likely an unpleasant one. As I mentioned upthread, for me this is having to do taxes. Perspective is everything, and the wider and larger you can make your perspective, the happier you will be. Those who have "everything" and lack perspective are stumbling through life, and though their short game may look good, the long game is terrible. Look at the long game and what happens as the body decays and the soul moves on.
