Ogham Readings on Sundays

[kimberlysteele]

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. 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 will be taking off the last Sunday in December 2022 and the first Sunday of 2023 this year.

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 because they keep making weird threats towards opinionated creatives like myself. I have had success using a new (to me) platform called Buy Me a Coffee:

Ogham reading requests are concluded for the week of December 11.  Please be patient as it can take me anywhere from 4 - 48 hours to get to all the readings.  

Your prayers to the gods/God for my continued success are always welcome whether or not you choose to tip.

Greetings Kimberley. I'm having one of those times where it feels like nothing is working and everything is going wrong. So now I'm stuck in the doom loop of doubt...is it just the way it goes sometimes? Am I on the wrong path? Am I on the right path, but somehow doing it wrong? Around and around. Can you and your ogham shed any light on this?
Hugs,
Goatgirl

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Goatgirl,

My Ogham agree -- you are going through some s**t. They provide three ill-dignified cards representing You, Your World (the world and how it affects you and others in your immediate circle), and Karma, meaning the sum total of various equations in your life at this point in space/time. In my system of Ogham divination, every card has three potentials: one of balance represented by a well-dignified card and two imbalances represented by an ill-dignified card that indicate an extreme excess of the spirit element represented by the card or an extreme lack. If you draw ill-dignified cards as you have today, the nature of the imbalance is up to you to figure out what the Ogham are talking about (lack or excess). My system is far from perfect but hopefully you will find a path towards balance given this reading.

For the You position, they provide Nuin or Communication. Since it is ill-dignified, it is potentially pointing out a lack of communication: feeling unduly hostile towards strangers, only treating people well if they are your friends, or wanting recognition in a way that is toxic. If you have too much Communication, it can mean not discriminating enough when it comes to who you allow into your inner sanctum, poisonous dreams that go unanalyzed and therefore motivate you to do dumb things, and people pleasing because you think you "should" when you need to learn to say NO. Overall, Nuin imbalances are a matter of airy detachment: think of insults for people with an air imbalance. They are "airheads", "space cadets", "flighty", "full of hot air". The Ogham are saying you need to get down to Earth, to accept aging and loss with grace in yourself and others, and to prune and discipline your mind so you can focus on what is truly important instead of what is just a pretty mirage.

For the Situation, they provide Huath or Obstacles. When you have too much Huath force, it means you are coming on too strong and trying to "power through" something that won't budge. It means it is time to step back, think, and be a great deal less like a bull in a china shop. If you have too little Huath, it means you are running away from obstacles that you need to look straight in the eye and deal with. Since this is Situation, this may be talking about a close friend, family member, or significant other that you'd be better off cutting out of your life. It could also be talking about a bad habit. I had a friend from childhood who became so toxic, I ended up doing a cut and clear spell in 2020. The end had been coming for a long time, unfortunately. The good thing about a cut and clear is it frees the person to their destiny with no hard feelings and minimum negative blowback.

For the Outcome/Karma, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. This tells me that you may have some issues working with nature and going with the flow. As much as people see "nature" as something relegated to forest preserves and spaces untouched by humans, nature is all around us all the time. You are nature and I am nature. I am here, indoors, sitting in "nature" typing on my computer. This is as good as it is going to get. The Ogham suggest you cultivate an appreciation for the here and now (which brings to mind my little joke in one of my song lyrics "I tried to live in the now, but I couldn't make it last" har dee har) instead of always fighting for the future or fretting about the past. It's OK to be thankful for now, to see the plastic-wrapped snack as manna from heaven, to perceive the spirit of the gas at the gas station as helpful, to reinterpret the scene in a way most modern people have utterly forgotten. Gratitude truly does fix everything.

resolving a challenges related to my daughter

[lp9]

Hi Kimberly!

Could you ask the Ogham the outcomes for options A, B, C, or D related to my daughter?

Thank you!

Re: resolving a challenges related to my daughter

[kimberlysteele]

Hi LP9,

My Ogham only like B. All the rest were ill-dignified.

For A, they provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, meaning that A brings too much exposure, forces what should stay secret to not be secret anymore, or breaches her boundaries.

For B, they provide Quert or Delight well-dignified. Quert is a card of good cheer, gratitude, and good health.

For C, they provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, meaning that C is not letting go enough and represents a lack of acceptance and lack of willingness to work with what you have.

For D, they provide Straif or Strife ill-dignified, which means D causes unnecessary troubles, is superfluous, or inadequate.

[brendhelm]

What do the Ogham think about my prospects for finding a relationship in 2023, if they are open to answering such questions?

In particular, do they favor me taking Option B, Option F, Option P, or Option W?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Brendhelm,

My Ogham have doubts you'll be able to find and sustain any relationship that blooms in 2023 long-term. They provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified in reference to that question, which means that you may very well head into a long-term relationship, but sadly it either does not have a good chance of being the right one for you or the other person or it simply won't last for other reasons.

For B, they provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Koad is putting yourself in the right place at the right time and having a little bit of help from fate.

For F, they provide Oír or Epiphany, meaning that F leads to powerful (but not always pleasant) realizations about yourself and your world.

For P, they provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, indicating a need for unearned recognition and often money and a general bad attitude towards strangers.

For W, they provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified, leading you towards solid ground, clarity, and a sense of action and its consequences.

Hi Kimberley,

I'm wondering:
1) If I have offended Venus;
and 2) if the reading indicates yes, what I can do to make it up to her? Planetary charity, etc.

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

Ay yi yi, it seems my Ogham think you have offended Venus/Aphrodite. Oops. They provide Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. The especially freaky part here is that Saille is one of two cards in the 25 card Ogham I attribute to Aphrodite/Venus, the other one being Quert or Delight.

As for the solution, yes, she does want you to try to make it up to her. She provides Muin or Harvest, which means that she wants you to learn something earthy and make some things with your hands and dedicate that product/those products to her. Gardening in general, indoors or out, would be a fine way to start, even if it is just sprouting some beans or growing some wheatgrass. Since Muin is symbolized by the Grape in the old Ogham and the Tomato in my prairie Ogham, I suggest learning how to make wine or beer, figuring out how to can spaghetti sauce or tomatoes, or another domestic art that takes trial and error and is generally (let's face it) a pain in the ass. She says it is OK to fail and try various things but it is not OK to give up.

[ivn66]

Hi Kimberly. What's up this week?

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi IVN66,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You have a great deal of empathy and sympathy this week, but it's not a flood that makes it impossible to cope with your own problems. Instead, you have just enough perception to be a kind and understanding influence.

For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Luis in any dignity can indicate physical danger and threats, so please be aware. You exude strong and balanced will in the face of adversity, and you will seem like a beacon in the night to others who need it.

For the Karma, you drew Straif or Strife ill-dignified. I would be surprised if you have a drama-free week this week as the Ogham are indicating some turbulence. Too much worry over these matters does you zero favors, so if you find worry getting at you, do some discursive meditation about it rather than wallowing in fear. The other potential of imbalance is to be over-resilient, meaning that you wall yourself off in a nicely-appointed doomstead, even if this is only a mental doomstead. No man is an island -- come down off the high horse and dwell with the rest of us, because it is nearly Festivus.

Hi Kimberly -

Slightly odd question this week.

About a year ago, my pets' veterinarian retired, and I've had a devil of a time finding a new one. (A lot of places aren't taking new clients, the ones that are accepting clients are all Covidian Cultists with limited in-person services, pushing "curb-side appointments" where you sit in the parking lot while they examine your pet, mandatory face-diapers if they do allow one person in, all still going on, even now, etc.)

Anyway, my goal isn't to grouse about the Covidian Cultists, since I'll put up with a lot to make sure my animals are well cared for. But it's that latter part I'm most concerned about.

So my question for your Ogham is related to what to do about my pets' medical service providers.

Specifically,

Should I continue to take them to the place recommended by a friend where we went most recently, which seems to be okay, but which is cootie-bonkers and also seems under-staffed, or find someplace else?

If I go looking for a new provider, should I go with the provider that my old vet recommended, which (in addition to also being cootie-bonkers) is located a bit further away, but which does seem to have a bigger staff and more resources?

Should I look for yet another provider? Where do I even start?

Any help from your Ogham would really be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jan

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Jan,

Unfortunately, my Ogham have no answers for you.

I asked about all the options you mentioned and all cards were ill-dignified. For the vet you most recently went to, they provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, meaning that those particular Coviditarians don't see you (or any other client) as a human being deserving of human rights if push comes to shove. That's scary.

For the vet who is further away, they provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified, which means that vet will find reasons to make trouble if you so much as refuse to wear a mask.

For finding a new provider in your area, my Ogham don't seem to think there are any. They provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, meaning that there is no vet of like mind anywhere close.

The only thing I can suggest is founding your own Speakeasy group somewhere online that promotes freedom-loving, non-quaxxing/masking restaurants, doctors, vet clinics, entertainment venues, and lessons. I founded Speakeasy Illinois and it acts as a resource to find non-quaxxing, non-masking veterinarians as well as people doctors for many. Effectively you must be the change you wish to benefit from. I found my student's recital hall through Speakeasy Illinois and I am confident I never would have discovered it without Speakeasy Illinois's network.

Interestingly enough, several pregnant women have found in-home midwives for at-home births through Speakeasy Illinois. If I were younger and wanting to have a baby, it's exactly the route I would go.

Hi Kimberly,

My question is this: What should I do to make the most of 2023?

Thank you for your time.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards for 2023.

For the You position, the Ogham provide Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Your primary problems of 2023 will lie within your own ability to rise above and make the best of the circumstances you have been given. The Ogham think there are forces trying to drag you down into immature and self-destructive decisions. Your challenge is to think your way out of them and to see them coming before they happen. When crap inevitably happens, be a good Stoic about it, don't wallow, and move on. Beware false transcendence, which is the common "bright-sided" approach to pretending you are over something when you aren't.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. When you are in it for the long haul, life can throw some nasty stuff your way and it only makes you stronger. 2023 is not without its challenges, but you have proven time and time again that you are unbreakable when you set your mind to a thing.

For the Karma, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You are not adverse to hard work. Your willingness to learn the slow and hard way is a tortoise approach and not a hare approach, and we all know who won that race. Expect 2023 to be full of plodding, meticulous, and diligent work of the sort that will always pay off, as you will be learning the entire journey.

Next year + health isues

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberley,
I have 2 questions:
1) Will the health issue that has plagued me for the last 2 years, and been very acute this year, be resolved soon?
2) What will 2023 bring me in life?

Wishing you divine blessings,
Nomad Kiwi

Re: Next year + health isues

[kimberlysteele]

Hi NK,

Thank you for those wishes. I cannot do health questions of any sort, sorry. Next time, please re-word your question to be extremely vague, such as "Will issue A be ameliorated by an intervening force? What approach does the Ogham suggest to resolve issue A?" The Ogham know what you are thinking about even if I do not.

For 2023, you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This is a card of physical vulnerability and danger. It can also be a card of defense in the wrong areas, barking up the wrong tree, and Achille's heels. It would be a good idea to meditate deeply on what the word "defense" truly means, and why those who think they are well-defended are often soft and rotting from the inside. True defense means looking at your defensive strategies honestly and without bias and potentially trying out new methods of strength-building.

For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. Bad gurus and terrible advice abound in our era of quacks, charlatans, and comfortably-numb patsies, so be warned. Don't suffer fools any longer than you absolutely must. You stand a good chance of being frustrated by what you don't know, so the Ogham advise to seek knowledge and don't be irritated when it does not come readily.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You find a way through all the aforementioned mess to stick with what works and to use true wisdom (found by sifting through silt and rubble) to balance your life. You will find healing forces in the Earth and by working with earth (getting your hands dirty).

[(Anonymous)]

Good afternoon,

Last week, your reading for the outcome was Mor ill dignified, while having Koad well dignified for the you position. I took it as letting the sound raft I was on drift out with the tide while paddling parallel to the shore.

While candidate 1 for option R flaked out, it turned out that candidate 0, who I had previously gave up while considering option S, was still very much interested, with the easy acceptance of all parties. The long awaited breakup of the working group has begun, only for a new confluence to come up on time to start forming a new working group.

I will like to ask the Ogham what I need to know to make the best out of this week.

There is a question on the tip of my tongue that wants to be asked. What does the Ogham say about it?

PS: There might have been a duplicate post which cut off early.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback.

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This card can signify physical threats even when well-dignified, so take extra care this week. Aside from that, it can mean being overly cautious or jumping to the worst conclusions or the opposite, being reckless and presuming everything will work out for the best. The middle ground between the two extremes is a far better place to dwell within.

For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This shows you coming out on top when forces conspire against you. It can also apply to people in your inner circle this week. Huath represents Martial energy, the drive that gets things done but that can easily flare out of control or not be enough to fire up the engine.

For the Karma, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. This indicates imbalance and difficulty in the world of strangers, wanting recognition and not getting it, or worse, being made infamous. It can also talk about tech not cooperating and transportation woes.

Choices for Protection

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks so much for doing this...I've been thinking about getting a protection talisman,because I think I really need it... so I wonder which of the following options is the best T , V, P, K?

Another question, is there another talisman that would be more useful or better? or what should i get instead?

Thank you

Re: Choices for Protection

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham like V and P. T and K, not so much. For T, they provide Ruis or Regret ill-dignified.

For V, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified.

For P, they provide Mór or Sea Change well-dignified.

For K, they provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified.

P provides the most protection in the most areas and is the one I would suggest going with if you can only do one.

Princess Cutekitten

[(Anonymous)]

What’s up this week?

Re: Princess Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PCK,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. This can point to a couple of types of imbalance, or perhaps swings from one imbalance to the other. There may be a general lack of energy and motivation this week for health or mental reasons. If so, lean into it and take it easy. The other side is too much energy or too much energy spread in various directions, which has the result of not getting any one direction to mature. In that case, less is definitely more and prune some of the "intentions" out so the remaining ones can grow stronger.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. This points to harmony in dealings with strangers. Technology has a good chance of behaving or if that's not possible (it often is not) it gets fixed in a timely manner. Recognition may come from unexpected corners for you or for someone close to you.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This week may find you frustrated with your own limits in various respects. Another possibility is being stymied by limits others put upon you. Pushing beyond your limits or being pushed does not work out well. The Ogham suggest to embrace limits as much as possible and as before, try to lean into the challenge. The opposite imbalance is giving up, so don't do that either. Be thoughtful about your self energy budget.

Hi, Kimberly, what's up this week? Thanks, Angry Oregonian

[kimberlysteele]

Hi AO,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This is a week of give and take in the best possible meaning of the term. You have an opportunity to understand how the flow of generosity tips the balance in your favor for the long term, even though it apparently depletes in the short term.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. The element of Air is balanced in your life this week: you're level-headed and pragmatic, but not so much that you lose sight of your dreams and ideals. This card is fortunate for those close to you as well because it is in Situation.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This points to impatience where getting results is concerned. Learn to slow down and absorb the process without too much "lust of result". On the opposite side of imbalance is the bad harvest -- sometimes a bad harvest is plain bad luck and others it has everything to do with the farmer. Look at your own bad harvests in an honest way in order to determine how culpable you were and what you can change.

[(Anonymous)]

Hello again Kimberly,

What would be best to keep in mind this week? Thank you!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You are potentially waiting too long on something (or someone) who isn't worth your investment. There is also the possibility of the opposite form of imbalance, which is not following through on things you should be going steady with.

For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. This is a card ruled by Aphrodite, who (like Marie Kondo) teaches us the important lesson of getting rid of what no longer sparks joy. When you pare down your junk, and this includes your mental junk, it gives you room to pursue what you truly love. The difficult part here is to separate that which you are truly passionate about from that which you are only lukewarm or neutral towards. Getting rid of the lukewarm stuff is the hardest, but it is also a direct path to loving your life.

For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. You are seeing results when you think through your actions, past and present, and this week is likely to reflect the work you've done in this respect. Beith, like Saille, represents a narrowing of what you want and what you are willing to put energy to. How has your life improved since narrowing your focus?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, would like to know how things are looking this week. Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. You manage a sane number of influences and projects this week without being pulled too far in any one direction to distract from what you want to be doing. It is a good week to look at what you've prioritized, because the Ogham think this week represents the right track for you.

For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. You stand a good chance of realizing something that is necessary yet may be a bit harsh or a downer. Hard facts about life are often like that. Because this is in Situation, it is likely to involve someone close to you and they could also possibly have an epiphany.

For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Coll speaks of knowledge learned by immersion, experience, and the school of hard knocks and the willingness to put your nose to the grindstone day after day to get that knowledge. In the Outcome position, it could indicate a chance to share that wisdom with one or more people that truly appreciate it or can benefit from it.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Could I get a reading on what will happen if I try to keep in touch with someone (let's call her X for ease of discussion)? I have conflicted feelings on it, and would like to hear what your Ogham think.

[kimberlysteele]

The Ogham seem to think it will work out well. They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which means that she feels she can trust you.

[tamanous2020]

Hi Kim,

Thanks so much for hosting!

I'm a white collar worker who's expecting to be layed off next year due to the economic recession barreling our way. Given that, I'm currently working out what to do with my 6 week paid sabbatical before that occurs, most likely picking up a temp job to work those weeks and double up on income (instead of the original planned roadtrip to checkout new cities to relocate to).

Would you mind giving a reading on the following months I'm considering on when to take this time off?

A)March
B)June
C)October

Thanks Kim,

Tamanous

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Tamanous,

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to come out on top of it no matter what happens. Good for you for thinking ahead. I think there are quite a few white collar types in a similar way who refuse to see the writing on the wall right now.

For March, my Ogham provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified, meaning Management will likely see it as an imposition for you to take off that month.

For June, they like it. They provide Onn or Community well-dignified, which indicates your co-workers will cover for you and/or not be miffed at your timing.

For October, they also like it. The Ogham provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, meaning you won't regret taking off that month.

End of the Year

[(Anonymous)]

Good evening Kimberly,

Our lease at the apartment is almost up and we're moving into the new house. The money situation isn't looking to good, but I sure we'll figure it out.

I'd like a reading on what I should expect from the closing out of the lease on the apartment.

Thank you,

-MF

Re: End of the Year

[kimberlysteele]

Hi MF,

My Ogham think you should anticipate some rough waters.

For the You position, they provide Straif or Strife ill-dignified, meaning you will have an excess of worry, and unfortunately it may be justified. There is no preparation for an event like this, and yes, the money situation will remain strained.

For the Situation or factors influencing the closing, you got Phagos or Teaching. You'll have some good people on your side and the other parties will as well, so this is good news because it means that between them, the experts should be able to hash out the finer details in a competent way.

For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. This is simply not a good time to be doing anything in real estate except selling, and we all need a place to live. The collective lower astral is also trash. Lots of Murphy's Law "if it can go wrong, it will" is likely to happen, so do your best to prepare, but don't blame yourself if it is a crapshow. Just steel your resolve and you'll get through.

[nebulous_realms]

Greetings, Kimberly. For feedback: I'll be providing more feedback on your recent and past readings for me soon, but I can unequivocally agree that your Mor ill-dignified reading for my situation this month so far is accurate. I'm experiencing bad dreams I haven't encountered since the first months I began my SoP - and those dreams were much more common before the SoP practice. This is at least a useful learning experience for me - I couldn't have told you what "septic astral conditions" specifically looked like before now. Hoodoo baths and Florida water are helping mitigate the effects.

For this week, Id like to ask what I should know to make the best of next year. The Ogham reading you gave for me in June, in response to the question of what I should know for the rest of the year, was very helpful in identifying where I had imbalances I needed to resolve in my personal life that were causing issues. I believe I've made good progress dropping some modalities I needed to leave behind (Situation - Ioho ill-dignified), which is worth celebrating. Still, I have work to do, and next year and every day is an opportunity to work further on becoming a better person.

Thanks as always.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Neb,

Thanks for the feedback!

You drew three cards for 2023.

For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You are headed for an overall good year. The situations and circumstances may end up being garbage, but you are building a foundation on a rock of strength instead of sand. Yes, some of your well-roundedness and good temper this year will be luck of the draw, but a not-small portion will be the work you've done on yourself.

For the Situation(s), you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There isn't a bad side to Duir. Even when ill-dignified, it means an excess of privilege is handed to you or gifted to you or that you pay forward your own privilege in excess to someone else. The one possibility of Duir being truly bad is that someone may try to make you feel guilty for your privilege, and in that case, just walk away without responding to them as that kind of trolling does not improve anyone.

For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. This year it is your task to find gratitude in the smallest things and in what most people take for granted. This may mean looking at your own ungratefulness in the past and cringing and flinching as you begin to rectify it. It can also mean problems with addiction and its aftermath, or the opposite imbalance of not allowing yourself any respite from a strict dietary and lifestyle regime.

Hello, Kimberly,

Thanks for your generosity in doing these weekly readings. What does my week look like this week?

Thank you, OCH

[kimberlysteele]

Hi OCH,

This week is looking mostly sunny: you drew three cards, all well-dignified.

For the You position, you got Nuin or Communication. This is a "credit where credit is due" tree letter of being properly recognized. Your interactions with strangers, including those in retail, online, and outside your sphere are likely to be harmonious. Tech is likely to work largely as it should and any breaks are likely to be fixed or resolved in a timely manner.

For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene. This card may indicate robust physical health for you or someone close to you, but more commonly it talks about mental hygiene rather than physical. Mental hygiene is that "she's got her head on straight" balance of emotion and pragmatism. Such a balance is extremely healthy long term and should be contemplated, because it is the exact mental state you want when things are not going well.

For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence. Koad is a mixture of forces outside of your control and forces you do control. When it is well-dignified, the Ogham are essentially saying "Good job" as far as your part of the mix is concerned. It is a good week to look at what is going right and how much of that was luck versus how much was your own action.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

What's up for me and my family this week?

A question about the last 2 weeks' readings: Option W got Ioho well-dignified, and Option Y got Fearn well-dignified. You said both were good; is one better than the other?

I hope to provide more feedback later when I have the time.

Thanks!

-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

You and your family drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. This means everyone may be going in too many diverse directions. If this is the case, it is time to slow down, prune the schedule, and make some quiet time that does not involve cooking, traveling, or gift exchange. It could also mean that one or more family members (including yourself) has restless energy or not enough energy.

For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. There are reasons to be defensive and these could include physical dangers. Take caution, practice prevention. That said, paranoia does not serve anybody and it ends up being an Achilles' heel that wounds from the inside. Throwing money at a thing isn't going to solve it even if you somehow suddenly have that money. There is sensible defense and then there is overkill; go the sensible route.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This is the card of the Holy Guardian Angel or team of them that is looking after your family. Since it is showing up, again, there may be dangers this week so be aware. Overall, this is the card of recognizing the higher self and what constitutes true nobility (which has nothing at all to do with financial status) that endures in the face of hardship.

Have I been making the mistake of not listening enough to my guardian angel lately?

As human beings, there is not one of us who listens to his/her HGA enough, so I rephrased your question to "What does my HGA want me to know about myself right now?"

Your HGA gave you three answers via my Ogham.

For the You position, you got Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Your HGA says you've learned how to keep a secret and how to keep your mouth shut, and this is a dreadfully important life lesson/skill. So good on you for learning to be subtle and to shut up when the time is right.

For the Situation, or factors in the world that influence you (or that you allow to influence you), you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Your HGA is telling you that you need to let go of that which is not meant for you and what is not meant to be. That said, don't be in a hurry to renege upon that which is not ready to go. Fulfill your responsibilities and your duties without complaint and finish gracefully.

For the Outcome, your HGA gave you Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Your HGA definitely has your back as long as you realize there is only so much he/she can do for you on the physical plane. We are all here for a reason, and it is a harsh environment as well as a difficult era to be incarnated. What doesn't kill our souls makes them stronger. Take reasonable precautions, but don't be afraid of death. There is no true death, only various parts of the cosmic cycle that are pretty scary, so they are called "death".
