So how busy was this week?  So busy that I wasn’t able to write the next instalment of “A Ranking of Ryes.”  That’s right, I was too busy to drink whiskey.  How tf does that even happen?

The planets are also too busy to line up into any readable patterns.  MERCURY RETROGRADE is still going on, Aquarius is still being a pimp, and the moon being in Pisces means good fishing.

Aaaaand the cards still hate you.

Aquarius:  The Tower reversed.  I’m not even going into detail with this one.  Just know that of the 156 possible single-card draws, this is the worst one.  Enjoy!

Pisces:  3 of Coins reversed – Skilled labor fucking up.  A guy installing a stained glass window, but dropping it from the top of the ladder.  Mediocrity, in work and otherwise, puerility, pettiness, weakness.

Aries:  5 of Wands reversed – Defeat in a game. Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.

Taurus:  The Hanged Man.  Even though we’re dealing with the sign of the Bull, it’s “hanged,” not “hung.”  Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy.

Gemini:  9 of Coins reversed – Investments going to shit.  Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.

Cancer:  King of Cups reversed – Bad priests.  Dishonest, double-dealing man; roguery, exaction, injustice, vice, scandal, pillage, considerable loss.

Leo:  The Moon reversed – Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.  At least it’s lesser degrees.  Count that as a blessing this week.

Virgo:  Page of Swords – Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination

Libra:  10 of Cups – Contentment, repose of the entire heart; perfection of human love and friendship

Scorpio:  Strength reversed –  Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, disgrace.

Sagittarius:  King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.

Capricorn:  5 of Swords – Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonor, loss.  But remember, these are things that you will be doing.  You catch a break… this week.
