Re: Week 25

Hi Eugene,

My Ogham think it will generally be a positive week of you overcoming challenges. They provide three cards, all well-dignified.

For the You position this week, they give Saille or Sensitivity. Well-dignified, this is a card of "garbage in, garbage out", meaning that you won't be willing to be anyone's emotional dumpster and that you will draw healthy boundaries, learning to excuse yourself when you've had enough. It is also a card of being considerate in a healthy and kind sense.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance. Though you may be tested and your patience tried, you'll have some extraordinary grace this week. Since it is in Situation, it is possible that someone affecting you will show steadfastness and determination and act as an inspiration to you.

For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret. Not that there will be any shortage of regrets this week, but you'll get the benefit of them by saying "I am not proud of that, but I don't do that anymore" and you will show the Powers through action that you've learned your lessons, which was the whole point.

As for the incidents, the Ogham provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which means those events were put before you in order to learn a lesson about how much you do or do not reveal about yourself in any given situation. It is perfectly OK to keep some secrets until you die, and these secrets become your power. Though I am sure some conventional psychiatrists would consider me sociopathic or psychopathic for this, I tailor what I say according it to the individual to whom I am saying it. I am never the exact "real me" when I am around another person. Maybe my cats see the real me on occasion but they only talk to each other, so my secrets are safe with them.
This means that essentially I am a chameleon who changes colors depending on who I am with, which is a skill I developed partially because I am autistic. It's known as masking. Only I know who I truly am, and honestly, I am still figuring that out. Being yourself is about keeping secrets and tailoring your personality, and that is usually what Ur is about. Your cloak of secrecy about yourself becomes your armor.
