Ogham Readings on Sundays

[kimberlysteele]

I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills -- but if you want to donate for it, I'll happily buy myself a book, a snack, or a cup of tea while on the town. Please only donate if you can absolutely afford it. I've been there. Your prayers for my continued success are welcome whether you donate or not! I take reading requests until 8pm Central Time (Chicago Illinois USA) on Sunday night. 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.

 

 

Ogham reading requests are concluded for the week of June 5.  Please be patient if you do not yet see your Ogham reading.  It takes anywhere from four hours to a couple of days to get to them all.  Please feel free to leave comments on existing threads at any time though.  Thank you and see you next week for more free Ogham readings.

Week 23

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?

Thanks!
-Eugene

Re: Week 23

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Eugene,

The Ogham provide three cards for you this week.

For the You position, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. This indicates a strong propensity to suffer foot-in-mouth-itis or to agree to something that will end up being trouble later. The Ogham are trying to give you a heads up to avoid the problem. It could also mean a week of mental fog -- basically that was my week last week. In that case, allow yourself to rest. It's OK not to be "on" all the time.

For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. You will likely encounter a situation, perhaps created by you and perhaps created by someone else, that shows you why it's not good to cling to what is not meant to be. The opposite imbalance could also be true: sometimes we let go too easily, which in its way lacks grace because we are trying to rush the outcome of what happens when we let go.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You have the opportunity to do what makes you special this week. Every human being is inherently and uniquely good at something. For me, though I have ran away from it at times and I have been conflicted and ugly over it, that "thing" is composing music. What is your special area of talent? What have your feelings been towards that talent in this incarnation, and how have you reacted to them?

What’s up this week?

Re: Princess Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

This looks like a decent week for you. All three cards were well-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Beith or Beginnings. There is the opportunity to turn over a new leaf this week, to pick up a new hobby, to embark on a new and better way of thinking, or to do something fun.

For the Situation position, you drew Straif or Resilience. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always a true statement, as I'm sure you've met plenty of people (as have I) that have been made bitter and sour by experience. You or someone in your inner circle finds a way to spin straw into gold this week instead of going the predictable black-pilled route favored by so many in this modern era.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy. You do a good job of playing it close to the vest this week, though there may be a temptation to over-share or spill. It's frustrating that other people just are never going to understand no matter how well you manage to communicate, and once again, every human can either make the worst out of that predicament or the best.

[ivn66]

Hi Kimberly. Thanks as always for doing these. I have two questions for
you:

1. What's up this
month?

2. What's up this week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi IVN66,

This month you drew three cards. For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This month is dangerous on the astral and possibly on the etheric and physical levels for you this month. To address the astral problems, and we all have them right now because the collective astral is currently a dumpster fire, keep up with praying and propitiating to at least one god you have a relationship with, or do a daily banishing ritual if you're not pregnant and don't have a child under the age of seven. As for the etheric, I usually wear a red bag amulet.

For the Situation position, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There will be a tendency on your part (or on the part of someone close to you because the Situation card affects your close relationships too) to beat yourself up. The other possibility that is equally negative is you or they not being able to say "I'm sorry", let alone begin to rectify the damage.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. It's interesting that you got Protection and Defense in the same reading with one ill-dignified and the other one well-dignified. What I think this means is the Ogham are saying you have good defenses in some respects, but in others you are wide open to interference and problems. For instance, the person who strictly monitors every calorie and carb of every bite of food protects herself from weight gain while simultaneously missing the etheric aspect of food, which is actually far more important than the calorie count or even the actual nutrients themselves. You have a handle on Defense but you are missing Protection, so I'm thinking the Ogham are saying you'll be good on the material/etheric but vulnerable on the astral this month.

For this week, you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. You will have an inclination towards courtesy and old-fashioned decorum this week, and you will not be in too much of a hurry to enjoy life. It's small courtesies and little elegant touches that make the world go 'round, more than anyone realizes it.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. Either you or someone close to you will have to confront impatience and worry this week, whether that is from the outside or the inside is anyone's guess. There is also the possibility of being too patient and too tolerant -- don't allow others or petty dictators to include you as a subject of their banana republics.

For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. The Ogham give you a gentle warning to keep your trap shut at the right moments. Don't get roped into anything you don't want to do -- you don't always have to shut the door with a "NO", however, always demand enough time to think about it. The other possibility of imbalance is the frustration of not knowing enough, and in that case, isn't being human super fun?

[(Anonymous)]

About a month ago, I inquired about a life insurance policy taken out in my fathers name. It turned out to be an insurance policy the bank took out, in case as it did that my father died, to cover an outstanding debt he had with them.

Now I’m ready to travel this week, timed the arrival at the farm for a favorable election, and the US estate paperwork is filed and wending its way through the legal machinery.

1) How is my week going to go?

2) How is my brother going to fare while I’m overseas?

3) I plan on returning to the US in February, how sound is this timing?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week has a tendency to be imbalanced. All three cards were ill-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. It is not easy to communicate the expertise you have this week, and your words of wisdom may fall on deaf ears or there may not be anyone willing to use your copious skills. There is also the frustration of not knowing the whole picture or something that is kept from you.

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Though this card can indicate either being smothered by someone or doing the smothering yourself, it can also easily be talking about you or someone close to you giving generously of themselves and their resources. In that case, you or they can expect their generosity to bounce back at them through the planes by the power of seven.

For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. There is the temptation to be short, impolite, or discourteous with someone, or they act that way towards you. If it's you, try to avoid it, and if it's them, try to be as gracious as you can possibly be. Also present is the danger of being all work and no play, and in that case, know when to say when. Kick back and relax and enjoy life a little; you'll be glad you did.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, what do ogham want me to know for this week?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

The Ogham give you three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You'll have a much needed realization this week that could be painful. Nevertheless, it will be necessary to move forward. Sometimes this card is about going around stupid people but not always.

For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. There is an expectation that does not match reality this week for you or someone in your inner circle. If the imbalance is extreme, then it is the psychology of previous investment where you do something that makes no sense while expecting a good payout, or you realize it's bad but you are too confused to get out.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This means there is a propensity to drive yourself far too hard or it could mean you're not letting go of something that is not meant to be. On the other potential side of an Ioho imbalance, you have the possibility of feeling unmotivated, stuck, or tired.

[nightwatchwaits]

Dear Kimberly. Please can you ask your Ogham what I would be wise to keep in mind this week.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi NightWatch,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You or most immediate position, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. Nuin is a bit of an amorphous card and can be talking about eclectic and various forms of imbalance. It can mean trouble with tech, such as the time my accountant cancelled my tax appointment as I was pulling out onto the street to go to it. It can mean dissonance from strangers such as online trolls or a desire for recognition that goes unsatisfied. Overall, it is the curse of modernity acting out.

For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. As this is in Situation and it affects people close to you, I would say the Ogham are giving you reason to expect trouble with the people you are closest to. If you are alone, it is your week to be unhappy about it or to feel dissatisfied with the kinds of interactions you are limited to. A final warning from the Ogham is not to divulge any of your inner dealings or feel compelled by anyone who wants to intrude on your personal and private space. They should mind their own business and you'll mind yours.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This week features its trials but you'll make it through just fine. You have enough fight in you to make it through without over or under-reacting.

Friend

[(Anonymous)]

Hi

Would like a reading on my friend who recently moved to London for a new job (April).

What are his prospects? He works in business journalism.

Thanks
Paul

Re: Friend

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Paul,

My Ogham think his prospects are generally good.

For his general state, they give him Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which means he feels a bit scared right now and his fears are not unwarranted. There might be unfriendly people he has to learn how to read and handle or there could be the worry of physical injury or illness or both. The Ogham instruct him not to engage in risky behavior for the next few months and to maintain an excellent poker face to combat potentially devious humans.

For the Situation, they provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified. He is in the right place and the right time. The world of strangers will reach out to help him and technology will help him more than it hinders him. This is the best card to pull well-dignified for those seeking public recognition.

For the Outcome, he drew Phagos or Teaching. It is highly likely he will be taken under the wing of someone who really knows what they are doing and who has connections with various movers and shakers. My Ogham seem to think your friend is a bit of a natural. He will find his niche; all he has to do is keep at it with dogged persistence.

Whither The Black Oobleck?

[(Anonymous)]

The concentrated negative energy on the lower astral plane, AKA "The Black Oobleck", has become so strong and thick lately that I'm starting to get just a bit worried. The way it feels as though it has taken on a life of its own, I believe, strongly suggests some kind of demonic involvement. So I would like to pose the general question, how is this situation likely to resolve itself based on its current trajectory? --Mr. Nobody

Re: Whither The Black Oobleck?

[kimberlysteele]

Oh, I feel you on this. I had to do a second Sphere of Protection before doing readings today because the astral plane is so mucky that a full day of good will, gardening, and singing the Orphic Hymns wasn't enough to clear the muck to do proper readings.

I think it's demons too. They're having a proverbial field day, especially with people who took the shots.

My Ogham don't think it ends well. They provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, which means ignorance isn't about to be remedied even if we get a second Revolution. If anything, the scary part is how much wisdom will be lost by the astral clog coming to a head. My Ogham suggest laying low, staying out of politics and concern over politics and controversy because it's like beating a dead horse. Coll means don't cast your pearls before swine. Keep to yourself, learn how to brew beer, knit, repair small appliances, etm.

I chuckle inwardly when people look at me and say I should be involved in civics. Yeah, no thanks, life is too short for that noise. All you can do is be the change you want to see in the world. I'd like to see a world full of gardeners, so I garden.

what am I doing wrong here?

[andrewskeen]

Hi Kimberly,

I'm not sure if this is a good query but I am wondering what I am doing wrong in the general domain of Love. Dating sites, being more sociable, keeping watch while out in public, and recently a speed-dating event (which I left feeling very good about) have all failed. I am not hideous by any stretch of the imagination; I am using magic to complement my mundane efforts; I don't think long-term monogamous dating is an unrealistic goal. For now the only thing I can think of is maybe I'm relatively close to success (I have been single my entire life) and just need to keep going. Otherwise, I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what else I can reasonably do (the PUA community would tell me to sleep with as many women as possible until one of them sticks around, advice I categorically reject). Hope this makes sense.

Best,
Andrew

Re: what am I doing wrong here?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Andrew,

Have you tried any of the candle or bottle spells from LuckyMojo? I think they're very effective. That said, I have a good number of single friends, all of them women. Some people have the karma of wanting but not being able to pair off. Usually this happens because the single person has extremely high standards that cannot be satisfied by an average human. It's fine to set your bar extremely high, however, don't expect to find a long-term mate here on the physical plane!

For the You card in this matter, the Ogham provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. The Ogham think you should do more speed dating, more dating websites, and find people of like mind to hang out with, basically do it all and keep a light, Mercurial heart about it. Maybe one day you can write a comedy about it. Are the Ecosophians doing their potluck this year? Find a way to hang out with people with interests that are aligned with yours.

For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You have been protected from the wrong person a few times according to my Ogham. Basically your lack of success at this point has been in the form of bullets dodged. My Ogham say to breathe a sigh of relief that your Holy Guardian Angel acted on your behalf and moved you out of the way like a chess piece in the nick of time!

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. The specific question I asked was if your luck was about to change for the better. My Ogham think it will. Keep doing what you have been doing, use lots of natural magic to make yourself more alluring, including the simplest kinds of natural magic known as dental floss and teensy-tiny amounts of excellent cologne, and let the gods take care of the rest. My Ogham think they have your back on this one.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

What will be the results of my non-work related meeting on Tuesday?

Thank you for your time.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham think the results will be good. They provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, which means someone admitting they were wrong or generally being humble and cooperating, and/or the wisdom of having made a mistake once and not making it again. Generally there is a workaround and better strategy than before.

[brendhelm]

Hello Kimberly -

What do the Ogham have to say about the upcoming month for me?

Thank you

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Brendhelm,

This month you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Either you need to up your defenses on all the planes (too little Tinne) or you need to relax and assess where you are truly vulnerable and not just paranoid (too much Tinne). A classic example is the teenage girl who worries how people will judge what she's wearing and doesn't realize that she's putting herself in situations where she will be preyed upon and put in grave danger.

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. Between you and your inner circle, there is a flow of good will, favors, and services. Generosity begets generosity. What you give you shall receive: perhaps if you give someone an apple, you won't get an apple back, but you will receive the energy of that gift in return, and if you do it often enough, it bounces around you and makes you a better person.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. The low road is a distinct temptation this month: being petty, getting snippy, having a short temper, or taking the easy-sleazy way around is alluring. The Ogham are giving you a heads up in case that is the imbalance that is indicated. Ailm ill-dignified can also indicate depression, especially in the form of false transcendence where you insist to yourself and everyone else that you're OK when it's not true. In that case, cut yourself some slack and accept that depression doesn't always need to be remedied. Considering our mortal predicament, depression or what used to be called melancholia is perfectly natural. Your best bet in any case is to maintain a sense of humor and a sense of proportion at all times.

[(Anonymous)]

Postscript: I don't know why, but I've been getting this feeling as though somebody or something really didn't like my asking the question that I posed for your Ogham this week ("Whither The Black Oobleck"). Provided that this somebody wasn't you, I'm actually even more interested now in what the answer might turn out to be! --Mr. Nobody

[kimberlysteele]

It wasn't me. The demons involved in censoring the injurious nature of the vaccines (I believe they are Paimon and Moloch, among others) hate being revealed. The two I named are easily terrorized/diminished by humor of any sort, so meme away, tell jokes, and generally immerse yourself in funny stuff if you want to stick it to them.

Feedback

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly! Last week you drew Mor, Nuin and Eadha for me. The week ended up being very unproductive, tired and depressed, but I started a possibly fruitful email correspondence with an astrological magician, I got a few matches on online dating that didn't go anywhere and I'm eager to make this upcoming week count. Just thought I'd provide some feedback.

So, what's up this week?

Re: Feedback

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

Thank you for the feedback! This week my Ogham are warning you of imbalance: all three cards were ill-dignified. Keep in mind though that I have had some of my best days on all ill-dignified readings, perhaps because the Ogham gave me insider information in order to head the bad day off at the pass.

For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany. Oír means an epiphany that clarifies what is wrong and needs to change, but because it is ill-dignified, beware of false epiphanies. The best way to root out a false epiphany is to do a discursive meditation on it, because then you can root out your own biases or anything else that might be throwing the result.

For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This can indicate you or someone close to you not feeling mentally or physically well. The best approach to ameliorate this problem is to avoid overreaction and to treat your whole self instead of looking at yourself as a collection of parts as if you were a car. If you're feeling poorly, listen to your body and cut yourself some slack. If you're mentally unwell, delve into what is triggering the condition in discursive meditation.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. The "harvest" in question here is variable. Sometimes Muin is talking about the psychology of previous investment, or when you keep repeating a self-defeating behavior and crazily expecting it will be different this time. For me, Muin often indicates thin finances and my bank account running on fumes. On the opposite side of imbalance, Muin can indicate too much of a good thing.
Getting what you thought you wanted doesn't always turn out for the best.

This week's reading.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

What is in store for me this week according to the Ogham?

Charlie

Re: This week's reading.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Charlie,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. You have expertise that people don't manage to appreciate this week. If it's on the more dramatic side, then you will feel you are casting your pearls before swine. I tend to get the less dramatic version when I pull this card ill-dignified: it usually means that my students either show up unprepared and unpracticed for their lessons or they don't show up at all.

For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You've been around the block once or twice and you or someone close to you reaps the benefits of that experience. Regrets are actually a positive influence in our lives and if we didn't have them, we would keep repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over. This is a good week to look at what you regret and to understand what positives you have gained because of regret.

For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience. You are just flexible enough this week to thrive. Your preparations so far are covering what you need them to cover. It's a good week to look at the resilience measures you have in place and understand why they are beneficial.

Third question, if you don't mind

[ivn66]

In addition, I wonder what your Ogham say about RNC for me - is it as good an idea as it seems?

Re: Third question, if you don't mind

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham like it and think it's a good idea. They give you Luis or Protection well-dignified.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

So next weekend I have to go on a short trip that I'm kinda meh about, but am going for my partner's sake.

Can you tell me what I need to know to make the best of the weekend and/or how to avoid any unpleasantness?

(I'm going to have to interact with some kinda woke folk and I want to avoid engaging in anything unproductive. But, I may have a chance to be in nature, so that part is better, I guess?)

Any advice you can give me on what I need to do or think about or look out for on this trip would be most welcome.

Thanks,

J

[kimberlysteele]

Hi J,

My Ogham give you three cards in regards to your trip.

For the You position, they give you Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This trip is likely to cause some dissonance between you and your partner. Your best strategy will be to keep in careful balance what you say and what you don't say. If in doubt, keep your mouth shut. You are always owed the luxury of taking the time to think about what you say before you say it, and do your best to err on the side of charity, kindness, mildness, and gentleness.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. The wokesters on this trip may be quite pushy. You don't owe them squat. Because of their pushiness and inability to mind their own business, it's probably an excellent idea to remain sober (literally, as in be a teetotaler) the whole trip. Your best and most interesting communications and communions will be with the land spirits where you are going. My Ogham think you are right to focus on being in nature during the trip.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This is a great card to pull because it acknowledges this trip will be full of potential rancor and oppositions but it looks like you will be able to constructively use those oppositions and make the best out of a bad situation.

[nebulous_realms]

Greetings to you, Kimberly, hope your Sunday is going wonderfully.

What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?

Thanks as always!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Neb,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. You are aware of many of your privileges this week, but instead of freaking out and getting defensive over them, you do the far more constructive option. You are grateful for your gifts. Gratitude is a sublimating force that spreads itself like ambient sunlight. If you turn your gratitude into generosity, you will see your gifts return to you up and down the planes.

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. You take the necessary time to craft your intentions this week. We are living through an era where collective intentions are especially foul, with people throwing around a ton of terrible energy. Cutting through that garbage is exceedingly difficult and sadly rare. This is a good week to look at overarching themes of intention, not just towards others but towards yourself.

For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. It is tempting this week to speak before you've given it enough thought or to try to gain prestige by showing off how much you know. Better to keep silent. That said, don't hesitate to help where it is clear your input is needed. Be watchful for impulse decisions that pop up demanding to be instantly solved... Nope. If it's worth it, it is worth the time to think about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, what do ogham want me to know for this week?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week shows a propensity towards imbalance for you, hopefully with the Ogham's help you can head off the imbalances at the pass. All three cards were ill-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience. There are two possible sides to this imbalance: either you are not resilient enough or too resilient. If it's the former, you feel worn out and tired this week, or you don't feel prepared. Take precautionary measures and do your homework before anything you have to do this week. If it's "too resilient", it means that you've gone overboard getting ready for an event that ends up being a nothingburger. In that case, resolve not to be so paranoid and take an honest look at situations in your past where you made a mountain out of a molehill so you can react more appropriately in the future.

For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. You or someone close to you may be depressed this week or generally not being their best self. The best way to combat an Ailm imbalance is to maintain a sense of proportion (we are human, we aren't that smart, and we make mistakes constantly) and a sense of humor. Another problem of Ailm is the one of false transcendence. Admit when you're losing or when you've lost and you'll be much healthier for it.

For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence. Koad means that some of what is imbalanced this week is what you've put in place and what you control and other parts of it are your situation and your destiny. Take whatever part you can influence and make the best out of it by applying generosity, giving others the benefit of the doubt, and walking away if forgiveness is not possible.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi
I'd love to know what this coming week holds for me.

regards

KAN

[kimberlysteele]

Hi KAN,

This week may be a bit of a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified. Nevertheless, I've had some of my best days on all ill-dignified readings. The trick is to watch for imbalances that the Ogham warn about and do what you can in the adjustment of your own behavior as preventative "medicine".

For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits. When this one is ill-dignified, it means that either you're frustrated with the limits of your world, others, and yourself or that you're being pushed around by various forces and people. Either way, understanding limits and working with them instead of against them is the key to all happiness and personal progress. Look at the times when you've accepted limits or when others have done so and been successful. How does that compare to now and what can you do to work with limits instead of against them?

For the Situation position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Saille is a card that belongs to Aphrodite, so if she's in Situation and unbalanced, it could mean trouble between you and people you love, especially trouble in the form of irritation, inflexibility, oversensitivity, and overreaction. If you are in a situation where you are living with others, do your fair share of etheric labor (chores) and try not to get mad when others don't do their share. A good strategy this week will be to de-junk and get rid of some excess in order to improve the flow of the material and etheric planes.

For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge. Bad advice is in abundance this week, so keep your eye out for it and watch for fake gurus, swindlers, bad deals, and stupid people who think they are smart. That said, smart people are utterly capable of giving bad advice, and that may include you. Avoidance and keeping your mouth shut is the best strategy.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

I'm making plans for a move to another part of the world, and have worked out three possible dates for it using a mix of astrology, intuition, and various other personal factors. One is in September, one is in December, and one is in January. Would you mind giving a general reading for each?

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham like January.

For September, they provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. That means there is too much stuff to get rid of and too many loose ends left untied for that soon of a move. The Ogham suggest using September to sell, donate, and throw away as much as you can to make the move easier, and to say goodbye that month.

For December, they provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. Tech and interactions with strangers are most likely to go wrong for you in December, so my Ogham suggest you wait and potentially avoid some uphill battles.

For January, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. January gives you the time you need to cover all of your bases, to say goodbye, to get rid of stuff, and to generally take care of business.

Good luck with your move!

[(Anonymous)]

What's up this week? Thanks, Angry Oregonian :-)

[kimberlysteele]

Hi AO,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. I tend to draw this one when my bank account is running on fumes. Gort is symbolized by Ivy in the old Ogham and by Bindweed in my Prairie Ogham. When we think of the role of bindweed or ivy, it is a plant that can save a riverbank from becoming a mudslide. If there is not enough of it, well, mudslide. If there is too much of it, which is also a possibility of imbalance in my readings, it chokes everything and topples the wall it grows upon. Watch this week for your own impatience or for feeling worn out. The best strategy is often to retreat and build where you are strong. Politics make me feel angry and worn out so instead of reading Telegram horror stories, I practice my guitar or go do some gardening.

For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You are beginning to age enough where you can understand what is not meant for you in this incarnation and begin to let go of it. You don't need to remember your past lifetimes in order to realize that there are plenty of them. The memories only come in time with lots of discursive meditation. It is discursive meditation that makes you ready for past life memories. Time is not running out for you, nor has it ever been running out. When you embrace the cycles of this life and your other lives, you begin to radiate the peace you've craved all along.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Defense is an art and it's far subtler than most people understand. You can easily be over-defensive this week and miss where you need defenses, for instance, if you eat right but then fail to exercise or vice a versa. Overdefensiveness can also come in the form of being butthurt over something insignificant, so watch for that.

Hi,

I have a decision to make and would like to know what my best option is: A, B, or C?

Thank you.

My Ogham like Option B.

For A, they give you Straif or Resilience ill-dignified, meaning it could work out but it won't last.

For B, they give you Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified, meaning B overcomes the obstacles and offers the high road.

For C, they provide Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified, meaning C doesn't have the energy or intention required.
