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.
