Dear
Readers, apologies that my monthly forecast wasn’t up yesterday, but urgent
calls took me into the Imperial city to meet with an esteemed mentor of my
arcane studies! Here is my forecast for the major influences, opportunities and
challenges we can each be aware of during the month of March.
The Advocates for this month are II
Aviatrix reversed and XIX Solarium with an overall essential numerical value of
3 (2 + 19 = 21 > 2 +1 = 3), which is the number of our Queen Empress! This
combination has a strong sense of secrets being revealed or hidden things coming
to light. At a time when so many institutions are trying to fill up the cracks
appearing in their foundations, this one seems to do with a large scandal to do
with spiritual institutions in particular and generally about the silliness of
diving into shallow knowledge, guess-work or the obfuscations of esoteric
speculation. The Aviatrix reversed has gone to the bottom of the sea to dredge
up something well hidden. The Solarium, where the sun shines so strongly, is
having none of this hiding away this month. It’s going to reveal whatever is
hidden for the good of all.
Having divided the remaining pack
into 4 equal piles, I count down 3 in honour of the Empress of the Imperium, and
reveal the following keys to the doors of March:
The
Key to the Door of the first week of March is 2 Leviathans
The
Key to the Door of the second week of March is Navigator of Airships
The
Key to the Door to the third week of March is 5 Leviathans reversed
The
Key to the Door to the fourth week of March is 1 Leviathans
Three
sets of Leviathans (Coins) makes this is a very money- and resource-oriented
reading. 2 Leviathans shows that some flexibility and juggling of finances is
necessary. Deciding just what to spend your resources upon is a concern for
everyone right now. Because the essential number of the Advocates is under the
guidance of the Empress, there’s a sense that we’d like to be a little more
expansive and generous, but we keep an eye on the road ahead to cautiously scan
what life may throw up. This card asks you ‘what needs to be handled more
playfully?’
Navigator of Airships looks through
his navigation screen for the second week. He is a champion who defends and
upholds beliefs, for himself and for behalf of others. His clear views and
opinions, make him a good advocate for those who have no voice or no sense of
direction. More and more, the groundswell of public opinion is making clear how
we want to be governed, with good ethical direction, and he appears as a
advocate for those very issues that make a difference to our lives. He asks you
‘what do you need to stand up for?’
5 Leviathans reversed shows that we
can all make new affinities and friendships in adversity. This making of common
cause is one of the features we are seeing on many levels, for example the
creation of food cooperatives in areas which have lost their local grocers shop.
For some people, this may mean accepting part-time or unfamiliar employment in
order to keep bread on the table. We know that our ancestors survived hard
times, because we are alive to speak of it: so ‘what enables you to
survive?’
Ace Leviathans offers us a new
opportunity, a recognition of our skills and talents in the workplace, a sense
of support and resources that we share with others which makes everyone feel a
little more secure. ‘How can you make more of your innate resources?
The underlying support of the
Empress shows that the abundance that we crave is not always in money and
resources that others give to us as wages or rewards, but in working with our
own skills and talents, and never forgetful of the human ability to use
resources wisely, not intemperately like consumers, so that our cherishing of
the world makes it a wonderful place to live for everyone.
