my weekly reading with Over the Moon oracle cards 12/28/14

Here's my reading for this week, using my 3-card spread.

Beggar | Jack of Diamonds in the first position relates to some money issues this week which I can already feel. This may relate to my bank balance falling below $25 as seen in a reading from a few weeks ago. I should be alert to this happening again. Depreciation | 5 of Diamonds under this one confirms money dwindling. I have been working on a reduced schedule and it looks like I might need to get my hours up again to prepare for the upcoming months, especially since some of the money-making projects I was expecting to complete have not been completed yet.

Waiting | 2 of Clubs suggests this week I'll be waiting for something, or perhaps just feeling cabin fever from hibernation. I may also be asking, "Should I stay or go?" Forgiveness | 6 of Hearts can relate to receiving help or there may be a need to forgive and forget. Perhaps it's showing receiving an extra boost of cash when I desperately need it.

Looking at the playing card side, things don't look so bad. After all, there are 3 red cards! The numerical theme this week is 6 which shows my energy is geared toward helping and taking care of responsibilities. I may feel a conflict between responsibility and reward however. During a 6 themed-week, I may feel resentful for helping so much or putting in so much effort and not seeing much reward.

POSTSCRIPT 1/9/15: I almost forgot to add something here. The first column showed that I did a little overspending this week, on things I hadn't planned - impulse purchases. Beggar also seems to come up when I'm really concerned about my finances as I was that week. I'm wondering if I will have enough money and projects to last for the next few months. I don't have any good associations to the second column although it did occur to me that it is an apt picture of waiting for the ball to drop on New Year's Eve. Although we were at the movies when this happened, there was considerable talk about waiting for the ball to drop and the New Year festivities we should arrange.

my weekly reading with Over the Moon oracle cards 12/14/14

Just scanning the cards, it looks like a rough week. Interference, Official and Beggar relate to the influence of several other people: someone who interferes or acts as a third wheel; an authority figure or emotionally distant man; and someone in need. Official can represent stubbornness and someone who is a know-it-all. Beggar may not always show someone who is asking for money but it can reflect that money doesn't come easily for them or this card may appear in a reading concerning one's financial status. Status shows a pleasant scene of a young woman enjoying the good life but this card can also show a change of status and, over Beggar, perhaps my financial status will change this week and I may be in need of some extra cash.

If we turn the cards over we see this layout on the playing card side. The numerical theme 3 + 8 + 13 (King) + 11 (Jack) = 35 = 3 + 5 = 8. An eight numerical theme shows that what motivates me this week is money, property, career, and putting goals into action. However, the combination of Diamonds-Spades reflects several themes working against that energy: financial trouble, extremely slow progress, delays, debts, and disputes over money.

Finally, we see a dynamic using the directional cues between the two face cards, the King of Spades and the Jack of Diamonds. These cards may show the influence of two people in my life this week. The first (King of Spades) is a man who may be emotionally distant who has a patient and persistent outlook. The second is a person who is in need with an unhappy and pessimistic outlook. When face cards face each other side by side this shows confrontation, rivalry and a heated conversation. There is the (strong) possibility that I'm represented by the Jack in this reading, especially since I have already had a taste of this conflict.

We'll see what the week brings...

POSTSCRIPT 12/20/14:
Well, the only part of the reading I understand is the Status over Beggar column. This week I received notices that two different bank account balances had fallen below $25 (Beggar). However, I had plenty to cover it in my savings and was expecting payment from some work so I didn't sweat it (Status).

Luckily, I was not aware of the influence of the Interference card nor did a heated conversation happen. The entire week I was sick with the flu. It's interesting that it didn't show up in the cards because it really took over everything this week.
