What's going on for me this week?

From:

kimberlysteele

This week you drew three cards, all well-dignified, so it means there isn't any drama in the forecast this week.

For the You or most immediate position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. You'll take the high ground with the calmness of lived experience this week. Your fine sense of humor will help others not to get so drawn into the current astral s**tstorm.

For the Situation or what is going on with others/the way others affect you, you drew Tinne or Defense. This means that others may attack but you'll deflect their barbs easily, or that you will help someone by defending them. It also means that someone close to you may have to defend themselves and they will be successful.

For the Karma or Outcome, my Ogham give you Nuin, which is Communication and your relationship with the larger world. Nuin is a card of diets -- the theory of garbage in, garbage out. You'll strike a good balance between what is allowed in and what is kept out this week in your information consumption.

What’s up for me this week?

Hi Lady CK,

This week, you drew three cards.

For the most immediate You card, you drew Huath (Sycamore) ill-dignified. Huath means Obstacle, specifically a thing that cannot be forced to happen. Watch for issues with either wanting to force your way and/or wanting to give up on a difficult situation, thing, or person.

For the Situation card, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Your guardian angel is looking out for you and/or someone very close to you this week. You'll find a good balance of guardianship, not taking too many risks but also not retreating into a bubble.

For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Straif or Strife well-dignified. Straif also means Resilience. This means you'll weather the storms gracefully this week and instead of reacting with frustration, you'll use the difficulty to improve yourself/to become stronger.

Sounds pretty good!

My GA is a good one. I did a lot of stupid things as a teenager and thanks to him, I’m still here!

Hi Kim,

I’d very much appreciate a “what’s up this week” reading.

Thanks!

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi,

This week you drew three cards.

For the most immediate position, the You card, you got Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. This indicates some potential extremes of trying to do way too much/spreading yourself too thin or beginning things you're not ready for or that are not right for this time in your life. This card can also mean that you simply lack energy, or as I say "my get-up-and-go got up and went"

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Things are generally improving for you and/or someone very close to you. Look at the major changes happening right now and the choices you are making. Determine just how much is in your control and how much is not in your control and be thankful for that which is not in your control going well!

For the Outcome or Karma position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This means there are potential threats and possible over- or under-reactions to those threats. Keep in mind overreacting to a threat is just as bad as underreacting. The "throw the baby out with the bathwater" defensive strategy is clearly not great for the baby.

How is progressing my relation with Aphrodite?

From:

kimberlysteele

They give me Luis ill-dignified. Luis means Protection, so they are referring to your (they say excessive) worries that it is not Aphrodite you are talking to. You will get there, don't fret. You'll know when she reaches out to you. Just keep propitiating and generally seeking her out. She likes to be pursued!

From: (Anonymous)

That is utterly sensible.
Thanks

Hi Kimberly,

I'm currently living off government funding for students, but it's not a lot of money, and I've just seen a fast food place near my apartment is currently hiring. What do your Ogham have to say about me applying there for a part time job in order to increase my income?

From:

kimberlysteele

My Ogham say don't even apply. They give me Eadha, which means Limits, ill-dignified. Have you thought about other ways of making side income, such as selling intellectual property online such as t-shirts, handicrafts you could sell on Etsy, re-selling machine parts on eBay or locally, or fixing small machines, fixing bikes, repairing glasses that people mail your way, or other various odds & ends type skills? Learning how to be your own boss is karma that a great many people tend to run away from because all things considered, it's easier just to apply at some corporation and draw a paycheck. Even if you only make $30 a month of self-generated work income, it is something you can be incredibly proud of. The same amount $30 from a corporation isn't worth nearly as much, at least that is what I believe.

From:

mollari

The location is really convenient but has a weird vibe to it, which is why I asked. I can make do without the money, but I also plan to take a look around and see what else I can do for a little more income. Right now I'm not sure what skills I have I could use, but I'm going to see what I can come up with.

Thank you.

From:

mollari

Okay, your reading looks right: they will not hire anyone without the vax. I don't know if it's legal, but I'm not going to fight them on it.

Hi Kimberly,

Last week was generally quiet. How does this week shape up?

Thanks for doing the readings.
John - Coop Janitor

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi John,

No news is good news!

For this week, you drew three cards.

In your You position, you got Saille well-dignified. Saille means Sensitivity. You senses will give you the gift of knowledge this week. Properly adjusted sensitivity means harmonious relationships with others. I would argue that getting sensitivity right is the key to all happiness.

For the middle or Situation position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. There will be a temptation to either overdo or under-do it this week, meaning that either it will be tempting to be all work and no play or all play and no work for you or someone close to you. When ill-dignified, Quert can indicate a lack of gratitude or more commonly some etheric starvation. Taking some time to hang out and smell the roses and to enjoy life will help with etheric starvation, which most of us suffer in this era, including myself.

For the Outcome or Karma position, you got Straif ill-dignified. Straif means Resilience. When ill-dignified, it means that you run the risk of being too nice and getting run over by other people. It can also be warning about undue harshness.

Hi Kimberly, could you do a general reading on my week? I had the dog in to sniff for bed bugs and apparently there were trace amounts found in or near my vacuum cleaner and only there. I must have vacuumed them or it up when I treated the area myself. I had the fumigator in on Friday and they are coming in again in two weeks. So, no worries there. Just a general reading would be great. I appreciate all the work you put into these readings and it's nice to hear from another mid-westerner on your blog. I prayed for Kiki. I hope you can heal from that. Thanks.

From:

kimberlysteele

Thank you for your prayers for Kiki! Glad to hear that the bedbug issue turned out to be no big whoop.

This week may be a bit of a doozy. They are warning of lots of imbalances: all three cards were ill-dignified.

For the first, you got Koad. In the most immediate position, Koad or Grove means there are a bunch of unhappy forces that want to catch you in the middle of their ridiculousness. Things will either be extremely stagnant this week or a hot red mess, and it doesn't look like there will be much of a middle ground. The Ogham suggest you lay low as much as possible.

For the middle or Situation position, you got Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. This means that you'll either feel embattled this week or that someone close to you will feel that way. It could also mean the opposite imbalance, which means having your way without much resistance and then having the uncanny sense you did not earn it.

For the final or karma position, you got Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This indicates that it isn't harvest time in some key sense -- there may be frustration that something's not developing as it should or perhaps a bit of panic that life is passing you by. Remember that our whole culture is designed to manufacture marketing ploys that are variations on the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) theme. Don't fall for it; you do you. Don't worry about everyone else.

Oh that sounds horrible. My life has been oppressively difficult lately, with not much reward.

I've been getting sidelined at work, despite the fact that I'm the most popular, and it looks set to continue. My injury still hasn't healed one hundred percent, and I have to do another ultrasound. I keep having all these appointments in the morning when I work late. This takes a lot out of me.

I just started considering the option of going back to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist. It would be the riskiest thing I've ever done, but I'm already good at massage, and it would give me some dignity at work, which I certainly don't have at the moment.

Sure you were on the money last week, hope this week is better. (I’m waiting for them to fix the AC in our hut at the gas station and the heat will be 97 this week).

Also with my Auburn Valley project you’ve given good indications on. The final question should it be set in the near future or far future on another world?

From:

kimberlysteele

My Ogham vote for far future.

For near future, they give me Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified, which is to say "everybody's doing that".

For the far future in another world, they give me Uilleand or Generosity, which seems to say that the writing will be easier and the rewards better.

The above is only their opinion.

Thank you so much! Writing is in progress now

What’s up with me this week

From:

kimberlysteele

Looks like a good week for you. All three cards were well-dignified, indicating a general state of balance.

The first card you drew in the You position is Beith or Intention. You'll have a good balance of new and old this week, not beginning anything you can't handle and also not overcommitting. Beith also means good news or the start of a beneficial relationship.

For the Situation position which relates to those close to you and the way you interact with them, you drew Quert. Quert means Delight and is a card of being grateful for the little things. It also means your sense of humor will bless those lucky to draw close to you.

For the Karmic or Outcome position, you drew Koad or Grove. This card means Confluence. Take a look at the factors that led to this week's balance and assess how much of it was in your control. If you weren't in control, was it an issue for you or did you just roll with it?

What would be the result if I consistently practice the exercise I have in mind?

and if I may ask another question,

Am I having a more difficult Saturn return because I let my spiritual practice lapse?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi,

For your first question, they give you Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, so they are suggesting that the exercise you have in mind may be not entirely right for you or it will need some major tweaking in order to fit the bill.

For your second question, they say yes. You are having a more difficult Saturn return because of your lapse in practice. They give me Huath or Obstacle well-dignified. Huath is a tree letter that says "there is only one way out: through!" Meaning that just as in music, there's no getting around practicing.

Dear Kimberly,
What does Ogham say is in store for me this week?

Punky Little Kid

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi, my Ogham say it's a bit of a complicated week for you, PLK.

For the You position, they give you Muin or Nightshade well-dignified. Muin means Harvest. This week you'll see the fruits of your good works in the world. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy the bounty you've created; either way, that good karma is going to reach you.

For the middle or Situation position which can be referring to you or someone very close to you you got Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. This means that you'll have too much going on this week and/or you won't have enough energy. Again, this is the position that could also be referring to someone in your inner circle.

For the Karma or Outcome, you got Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Either you'll be tempted to let go of something too easily that you should try to hold on to or you'll want to do the opposite and cling to something that is not meant to be yours at this time.

Hi Kimberly -

What do I need to know about the upcoming month?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi,

This month, my Ogham give you three cards.

The You position shows Oír, which means Epiphany. It is well-dignified. This means you'll have a eureka moment that enables you to circumvent the intentionally and the unintentionally malefic. You'll have insight into your own workings as well... a good month for journaling!

For the Situation or the way others are affecting you, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. People, especially those closest to you, are offering help this month, but they're not being pushy about it.

For the final position, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. This means that they're gently warning you of a couple of imbalances: pretending you know more than you do and/or feeling lost because of how much you don't know. Either way, it's never a bad idea to ask for help, and I don't just mean from other humans, I mean from spirit guides and from the gods. Ask and you shall receive help!

Hi Kimberly,

Around 20 churches in Canada have been attacked by arsonists recently. What will the outcome of this be?

Thank you for your time.

From:

kimberlysteele

My Ogham give me Huath or Obstacle ill-dignified. Here's what I think this means: there is major death energy around the arsonists. They don't understand what they've done. There is similar energy around many of the Woke -- BLM, Antifa, Hollywood. That's why I've distanced myself from both mask/MRNA therapy fetishists: their karma is a live grenade and those who stand too close do so at their own peril.

The tree that symbolizes Huath is very deliberate both in the Celtic Ogham and my Prairie Ogham. In the Celtic Ogham it is the hawthorn tree, which is beloved by fairies. Old folklore has it that if you cut down a hawthorn or worse yet, a grove of hawthorns without the permission of the fairies, you'll suffer a curse that is likely to sicken and kill you and those around you, much like the curses that afflicted Egyptian tomb raiders. John Delorian, the guy who invented the Delorian car referenced in the Back to the Future movies, had a bunch of hawthorns cleared for his car factory. Soon afterward, his company went bust and he died. You don't mess with hawthorns. The Powatomi Indians of Indiana maintained the sycamore tree (different than the European sycamore, BTW) was the Hand of God and a tree of vengeance. Indians generally said that it was extremely bad luck to cut down a sycamore, because once again, a curse would arrive.

Whether or not the church deserves such treatment is beside the point: when humans act in vengeance like this, they are playing god. That's why the Christian god says "Vengeance is mine". He's warning people not to get so full of themselves. I tend to think they'll be paying for their hubris for a long, long time.

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks as always for doing this! I had an uneventful week, which seems to fit last week's reading (no news is good news!). I'm back to ask again, What's up this week?

From:

kimberlysteele

Your upcoming week looks joyful.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand. Uilleand means Generosity. It means that there will be abundant giving, both from you and to you this week. Uilleand is also a tree letter of gratitude. If you demonstrate true gratitude this week, you will see it come back to you times seven or more.

For the Situation position you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. The middle position is often talking about others who affect your life significantly, especially those in your inner circle. You will be the recipient of gifts or you will be made aware of privileges. Your best strategy will be to pay them forward.

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Phagos is a card of complete knowledge -- keep in mind that not all forms of mastery are obvious fields of study like math or music theory. Some people are total experts at home cooking or really good at reading the moods of cats and dogs. Whatever your unique expertise happens to be, you will have a chance to flex that muscle this week.
