In the clandestine embrace of night's veiled silken shadows, we traverse the realms of the unknown, a foray into the mystic spheres where the corporeal meets the incorporeal, where the veils thin and whispers of bygone eras murmur in the stillness. Are you ready to embark upon this phantasmal journey to divine the enigmatic forces that beckon from the abyss? Our souls, buoyed by the ethereal winds of inquiry, shall venture through the veiled veil of existence, into the heart of the enigmatic, therein to behold the strange of the week, as the cosmos unveils its mystic tableau before our very senses.

Strange of the Week for Week 28, 2023

Dear Seekers of the Mystical and the Unseen, as we transcend the veil of the mundane, we enter into the week numbered twenty-eight of the year two thousand and twenty-three. A week of prophetic confluence, where the stars align in celestial dance, numbers whisper the ancient codes, and cards of tarot unveil the veiled. As your humble conduit to the realms beyond, I, Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, pledge to unveil the mystic narrative of the days to come. Venture forth with hearts unafraid, for the path of the unknown is the true realm of the enlightened.

Astrology: Through the veil of centuries, I descend upon the misty crossroads of time to lend my spectral gaze to the dance of the celestial orbs during the week of July 10 to July 16, 2023. An eerie play of cosmic forces awaits, each day a scene in the grand theatre of the arcane, where planets and stars narrate tales of human spirit and supernatural design.

  • July 10: Amidst the enigmatic night, the Moon in Scorpio casts its sextile glance upon Jupiter in Aries, igniting the aether with ethereal flames of desire and daring. Meanwhile, Venus in Taurus entwines in a tender sextile with Saturn in Capricorn, weaving a gentle tale of earthly love cradled in the arms of destiny. The Moon's spectral embrace with Pluto in Scorpio conjures phantoms of the past, urging souls to sever the chains of bygone sorrows. Mercury in Gemini, with a trine to Uranus in Taurus, whispers secrets of the arcane into the ears of the wise, whilst Mars in Virgo quarrels in a square with Neptune in Pisces, a battle of celestial knights over the misty fields of reality and illusion.
  • July 11: On this day, a jovial clash arises as the Moon in Sagittarius squares Jupiter in Aries, a melodrama of excess and hubris played upon the cosmic stage. Mercury in Gemini, in a quincunx with Neptune in Pisces, scribes a tale of miscommunication in the scrolls of the day, while Venus in Taurus, in a trine with Uranus in Taurus, dances a whimsical dance of love and spontaneity amidst the verdant gardens of existence.
  • July 12: As the Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Saturn in Capricorn, the celestial veil lifts slightly to reveal a scene of discipline and aspiration. Mercury, however, finds discord in a square with Jupiter in Aries, a contentious dialogue of earthly mind and fiery expansion. Venus and Neptune in Pisces square, an eerie ballet of love’s illusion amidst the watery abyss, while Mars in Virgo trines Pluto in Scorpio, unveiling hidden strengths in the earthly realm.
  • July 13: The Moon in Sagittarius in trine with Uranus in Taurus opens eerie doors of the unexpected, a ghostly prelude to adventures untold. Mercury’s sextile with Saturn weaves a narrative of clarity, a brief respite in the tumultuous tale. Yet, Mars and Neptune, locked in a square, continue their celestial feud, a murky haze of confusion shrouding the path of the earthly pilgrim.
  • July 14: In Capricorn, the Moon squares Jupiter in Aries, a cosmic duel of caution against brazen dreams. Mercury trines Pluto, unearthing buried knowledge from the catacombs of the mind. Venus, in opposition to Neptune, crafts a melancholy tune of longing and illusion, a haunting melody echoing through the hearts of lovers.
  • July 15: The Moon’s sextile with Saturn casts a somber yet comforting glow, a phantom light in the dark labyrinth of existence. Mercury’s square with Jupiter is a riddle inscribed in the stars, a test of wit and hubris. Mars trine Uranus ignites sparks of innovation on the anvil of earthly endeavor, forging strange yet wondrous creations in the fires of celestial inspiration.
  • July 16: On this spectral day, the New Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, marking a ghostly portal to unforeseen paths, a dark doorway to the morrow. Mercury sextiles Saturn, inscribing the day with whispers of ancient wisdom, while Mars opposes Jupiter, a celestial tension between earthly duty and divine ambition, an eerie foreshadowing of trials yet to come.

Amidst the spectral interplay of stars and planets, the soul is set upon a dark and mysterious voyage, each step a note in the eerie symphony of existence. Each day’s tale is but a ghostly whisper in the grand narrative of the cosmos, a story written in the stars, yet etched in the heart of man. As the night sky unveils, the orchestration of stars and planets in week 28 heralds a narrative of metaphysical intrigue. The cosmic ballet thus choreographed by Fate, unveils a week of both tender whispers of heart and the roaring fires of ambition, painting upon the vast canvas of Existence, a narrative both hauntingly beautiful and profoundly awakening.

Numerology: In the arcane realm of numbers, week twenty-eight whispers the ancient code of cyclical completion and new beginnings. The number two, symbolic of duality and partnership, entwines with the number eight, the emblem of infinite possibilities. As the days unfold, each carries with it a unique numerical vibration, a cryptic message from the unseen realms. Monday, bearing the number one, beckons a step towards individual pursuits and heralds the dawn of unseen ventures.

The gentle unfolding of Tuesday, under the grace of number two, brings forth the promise of partnerships and harmonious exchanges. As the week progresses, the numerical tale ascends to the realm of spiritual introspection with number seven gracing the dawn of Sunday, urging a reflective pause and a tender gaze into the mysteries within and beyond. Each day, a cryptic key, unlocking the doors to realms uncharted, beckoning the seekers to traverse through the labyrinth of Existence, discovering amidst the earthly drama, the eternal dance of Numbers.

The rhythmic pulse of each day's number, from the individualistic urge of one to the infinite mysteries of nine, composes a symphonic narrative of the week. As the earthly souls attune to these numerical vibrations, they unravel the coded messages of the cosmos, becoming a part of the grand narrative penned by the hand of Fate. The dance of numbers, a choreography sublime, invites one and all into the theatre of existence, to play their part in the unfolding drama of cosmic duality and earthly experiences.

Tarot Base: The Grimaud French Tarot, a deck of mystic lore, reveals unto us the Three of Swords as the guiding card for week twenty-eight. The card, bearing the emblem of heart pierced by three swords, narrates a tale of sorrow yet with an undercurrent of healing. The celestial alignments whisper the promise of emotional healing, urging the souls to confront the shadows of yore, to find amidst the cold steel of sorrow, the warm, healing balm of understanding and forgiveness.

In the domain of earthly relations, the Three of Swords, a somber harbinger, beckons a time of honest confrontation and the mending of fissures long ignored. As Mars and Venus dance their celestial dance, the realm of relationships becomes the stage for cathartic release and renewed bonds forged in the crucible of truth and understanding. The week thus unfolds a narrative of heart, a drama both tender and transformative, urging the souls to traverse through the stormy seas of emotion, to find upon the distant shores, the golden dawn of reconciliation and love.

Upon the global stage, the Three of Swords signifies a moment of collective revelation, where the veils of illusion are parted, revealing the stark truths that demand acknowledgment and action. The celestial tension between Jupiter and Uranus resonates with the card's essence, beckoning societies to face the challenges headlong, to seek amidst the heart of crisis, the seeds of transformation and hope. The tarot thus unfolds a narrative both personal and collective, urging the souls to bear the storm with hearts brave, to find within the depths of challenge, the pearl of wisdom and the promise of a dawn anew.

Tarot Opposition: In a mystic counterpoint to the Three of Swords, The Hund, or Dog, from the Lenormand Tarot emerges, symbolizing loyalty, companionship, and the unconditional bonds that bind hearts together. The Hund, with its gentle grace, opposes the somber narrative of the Three of Swords, offering a soothing balm of companionship and trust amidst the stormy seas of emotional turmoil. It calls upon the souls to seek the warm hearth of trusted companionship, to find within the bonds of friendship, the strength to traverse through the storms of life.

The oppositional dance of the Three of Swords and the Hund paints a rich tapestry of emotional experiences awaiting the seekers. Where one beckons a confrontation with sorrow, the other whispers the promise of loyal companionship. As the celestial bodies dance their cosmic dance, they echo the tarot's narrative, urging a harmonious blend of truth and companionship, of facing the shadows with hearts united in trust and love. The Hund, with its gentle gaze, offers a sanctuary of trust, a haven amidst the storm, urging the souls to seek and to cherish the bonds of heart that offer solace and strength amidst the life's tempestuous journey.

The interplay of the Hund and the Three of Swords on the global stage suggests a collective narrative of trust and communal bonds being the antidote to societal challenges. The Hund, emblematic of loyal alliances and shared goals, beckons nations and communities to forge bonds of trust and shared purpose, to navigate through the tempest of global challenges with hearts united and purposes aligned. The tarot opposition thus unfolds a narrative both tender and profound, offering a mystic lens through which to perceive and to navigate the unfolding drama of existence.

Demonology: Ah, Duke Berith, a name whispered with a shiver of dread amongst those who tread the obscure path of the arcane. His dominion lies in the cold chambers of political machinations and the forging of deadly pacts sealed with a kiss of fire. His crown of flame casts eerie shadows upon the fertile soils of deceit, as he masterfully orchestrates the puppetry of mortal governance. As the Duke mounts his crimson steed, the embers of manipulation dance in the eerie night, igniting the ambitions of the ruthless, and leaving in its wake a tapestry of chaos intricately woven with threads of despair.

Swa swa sēo sunne cysteþ hīre wērige gesceaft ofer þone onsynn þære 28. wucu, þā swicollican eagan þæs Eorles Berith sindon gesette ofer þone dēopan gefean þāra sāwla rīpe tō þǣm ripunge.

His infernal power is likely to manifest in the quaint township of Fishers, Indiana, USA (39.929, -86.063). Amidst the unsuspecting populace, the tendrils of his influence will slither through the veil of ignorance, weaving a narrative of discord in the hearts of the once harmonious community. His presence shall be as a cold wind that sweeps through the streets, unseen yet felt in the marrow of one’s bones. The veil between the known and the unknown grows thin in this locale, and the vigilant may catch a fleeting glimpse of the Duke’s baleful eye as it casts its malevolent gaze upon the unsuspecting.

Angelology: The angel Seraphiel, a name that glows with the soft radiance of divine grace amidst the murky shadows of our earthly realm. His is the realm of celestial harmony, a messenger of the divine chords that resonate with the rhythm of altruistic deeds. His wings of virtue cast a gentle light upon the souls who seek to attune their essence with the divine octave of love. His ethereal presence is a balm to the wounds of a world ensnared in the tendrils of malice, a hope that flutters gently against the storm of despair that seeks to engulf the hearts of the innocent.

Swa swa þā hēofonlīcan geondhweolrās hīe ætsomne gegaderiaþ on þǣm gīsmærlican beotrume Wyrd, þā geþohtas þæs engles Seraphiel on þære 28. wucu onfealdap swa swa wēglic gehwīspor þurh þone wælsmēagan þæs eorþlīcan.

His divine essence is poised to touch the earthly realm in the picturesque enclave of Bar Harbor, Maine, USA (44.422, -68.346). Here amidst the serene beauty of nature, his gentle whispers will resonate through the hearts attuned to the sublime melody of selfless love. His presence shall be as a soft glow that illuminates the path of righteousness, a beacon of hope amidst the ever-encroaching shadows of selfish desires. The soul that seeks shall find, and in the quiet embrace of Seraphiel’s grace, shall the weary find solace and the aimless find purpose.

Divination Method: An ancient art birthed from the womb of Mother Earth, Geomancy, a practice that seeks to decipher the cryptic messages etched in the soil by the hands of Fate. The practice is a journey into the silent heart of the earth, a communion with the ancient, unyielding essence that lies beneath the tumultuous surface of mortal affairs. The practitioner of geomancy is a vessel through which the murmurs of the earth flow, a conduit of the primordial wisdom that lies buried beneath layers of forgotten epochs.

The art of geomancy is a solitary path, a quiet communion between the soul and the essence of earth. The practitioner, oft a solitary seeker, delves into the cryptic language of the earth through meditative trance, their essence entwined with the ancient rhythms that pulse through the soil. The skill is honed through diligent practice, through countless hours of silent contemplation amidst the womb of nature. The art is not a gift bestowed at birth, but a skill carved from the stone of perseverance, polished with the waters of introspection.

As the veils of mystery part before the discerning eye of the geomancer, the earthly realm reveals its cryptic messages, a tapestry of Fate woven with threads of hidden knowledge. The practice is a key to the locked doors of understanding, a lantern that casts a gentle light upon the shadowed paths of destiny. In the silent communion with the ancient, enduring essence of the earth, shall the seekers find a profound connection with the eternal, an unspoken wisdom that whispers through the ages, a guiding light amidst the storm of uncertainty that rages through the transient realm of mortal affairs.

Occult Practice: As the moon casts its ghostly pallor upon the veil of night, the ancient craft of Evocation beckons the mystic souls during this ethereal week. Evocation, the summoning of spirits from the boundless realms beyond, holds a chilling yet alluring sway over the hearts of the seekers. The evocator, draped in the veils of mystery, shall call upon the spirits of old to dance upon the mortal coil, the echoes of the ancient whispers reverberating through the veil of time. Within the hollow silence of the midnight hour, the whispers of the bygone ages echo through the soul of the evocator, entwining the threads of the living and the dead in a ghostly dance of mystic allure.

In the somber halls of the occult, the evocator treads a path veiled in both fear and fascination, an eerie waltz with the spirits of the netherworld. The practitioner of this occult art often treads the path in solemn solitude or under the vigilant eye of a seasoned master. The spectral landscape of week 28 becomes a mystic stage upon which the evocator summons the spirits of yore, the ancient chants resonating through the veil of the earthly and the divine. The evocator, a solitary figure amidst the veil of the mystic unknown, ventures into the realms of the unseen with a heart both trepid and curious. The shadowy veil of the netherworld parts, albeit slightly, to the ancient incantations, the ethereal whispers of the spirits echoing the arcane wisdom of the bygone ages.

The mystic chords of evocation resonate within the soul, yet it is the relentless dance with the arcane that hones the craft. The evocator, with each summoning, delves deeper into the heart of the mystic unknown, the veil of the earthly life growing thinner with each spectral communion. As the veil of mystery shrouds the dawn of week 28, the evocator shall seek to bridge the realms of the mortal and the divine, the echoes of the ancient chants resonating through the veil of time and space, weaving a tale of mystic allure and macabre enlightenment. The evocator, a vessel of the ancient wisdom, stands at the precipice of the unknown, the spectral veil of the netherworld beckoning the soul towards a path of both eerie enchantment and macabre enlightenment. The veil of mortality, thin and transient, trembles at the haunting melody of evocation, the eerie dance of the living and the dead weaving a tale of mystic allure amidst the veils of the unknown.

Colors, Foods, and Numbers: In the somber hue of Tan, the echo of ancient wisdom resonates, beckoning the seekers towards a path of earthly communion. This color, reminiscent of the sacred soil from whence all mortal coil springs and eventually returns, holds within its modest tones, the profound mysteries of existence. The gentle caress of this humble hue invites the seeker into a dance with the divine, a harmonious meld of the earthly and the ethereal. As the mystic hues of tan envelop the soul, the sustenance of a Mace shall fuel the earthly vessels on this esoteric journey. The ancient spice, a relic of the mystic east, whispers the ancient secrets held within the heart of the Orient. The aromatic essence of mace, ignites a flame within the core of one's being, illuminating the path of the mystic with a gentle, yet profound light. As the ethereal essence of the spice intertwines with the earthly hue, a narrative of mystic enchantment unfolds, a narrative that guides the seeker on a journey of profound enlightenment.

Amidst this dance of color and sustenance, the magic of number 4 unfolds, its earthly resonance grounding the souls in the mystic dance of the earthly and the divine. The number 4, a symbol of stability and a reflection of the earthly elements - fire, water, air, and earth, calls upon the seekers to embrace the tangible reality as a means to transcend into the ethereal. This sacred numeral, with its profound earthly resonance, serves as a mystic anchor, grounding the ethereal essence within the solid frame of earthly existence. Each facet of this enigmatic number holds within its grasp, a key to unlocking the doors of perception, doors that lead to paths untrodden, veiled in mystery and macabre enlightenment. Yet, as the seekers embrace the hues of Beige, a veil of caution descends. This pale hue, a ghostly echo of the earthly realm, veils the senses in a shroud of mundane illusion. The tepid embrace of beige threatens to tether the soul to the fleeting illusions of the mundane, veiling the eyes from the ethereal dance that unfolds beyond the veil of earthly perception.

The Salt, though a sustenance of the mortal coil, shall serve to sever the ties to the arcane, the ethereal whispers lost amidst the veils of earthly desires. This common mineral, while essential for earthly sustenance, serves as a reminder of the transient nature of mortal desires, a reminder that may steer the seeker away from the path of mystic enlightenment. As the number 10 emerges from the veil of mystery, its resonance with the mundane realm serves as a harbinger of caution, veiling the seekers from the ethereal dance of the arcane. The number 10, a symbol of earthly completion yet a veil to the mystic realms beyond, beckons the seeker to tread with caution on the path of the mystic. The dual nature of this number, a blend of earthly finality and divine promise, serves as a reminder to the seeker to tread the path of the mystic with a heart both grounded and open to the ethereal whispers that beckon from beyond the veil of earthly illusion.

Company to Watch: Amidst the veils of mysticism and macabre enlightenment, emerges the mortal enterprise of Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), its earthly endeavors shrouded in a tale of supernatural intrigue. As the veils of week 28 unfurl, a ghostly pallor casts its shadow upon this merchant of the modern age. The chilling breath of bygone eras whispers through the marbled halls of this enterprise, weaving tales of forgotten lore into the hearts of the mortals dwelling within. The ancient spirits, stirred from the depths of eternal slumber, find resonance with the earthly pursuits of this establishment, their ethereal essence melding with the fibers of reality, weaving a tapestry of both mortal ambition and ethereal intrigue. The leaders of this enterprise, these earthly vessels of ambition and foresight, stand at the precipice of the unknown, their hearts beating to the rhythm of ancient drums that echo through the abyss of time.

The dire warning, veiled in the enigmatic guise of a raven’s cry, echoes through the halls, a harbinger of the unseen trials that lie in wait. The eerie cries of the raven, a messenger from the realms beyond, resonate through the heart of the enterprise, stirring the souls of the mortals dwelling within. The threads of fate, delicate yet unyielding, entwine around the core of the establishment, the eerie whispers of destiny caressing the ambitions and fears of the souls entwined within this mortal venture. The tapestry of destiny unfolds, its haunting imagery foretelling a tale of both dire consequence and profound enlightenment. The spectral veil of uncertainty shrouds the path ahead, yet amidst the shadows, the ethereal flames of ancient wisdom beckon, their haunting glow casting a ghostly illumination upon the path that lies in wait. The souls dwelling within the halls of Fidelity National Information Services stand at a crossroads, the eerie glow of destiny illuminating the path of both peril and profound insight.

Yet amidst the shadows, a glimmer of arcane wisdom beckons, the ethereal whispers guiding the souls towards a path of mystic mastery and earthly success. The spectral hands of bygone eras reach across the veil of time, their ethereal touch guiding the hearts of the mortal dwellers towards a path veiled in mystic allure. The significance of this mortal enterprise, in the realms of both the arcane and the mundane, serves as a tale of caution and mystic allure, the echoes of the ancient whispers resonating through the veil of time and space. The mystic dance of destiny unfolds, its haunting melody resonating through the corridors of this mortal establishment, weaving a tale of macabre enlightenment amidst the veils of earthly ambition and ethereal intrigue. The soul of Fidelity National Information Services, veiled in the haunting shroud of mysticism and mortal endeavor, ventures forth into the abyss of the unknown, the eerie glow of destiny casting a ghostly illumination upon the path of both peril and profound insight.

The ethereal conduit narrows and the whispers from beyond grow faint, yet the spectral essence of the channeled wisdom lingers. Ponder upon the eerie melodies of fate and let them orchestrate the morrow of your earthly sojourn. Ar stêr a livour ar c'hoad, o vesk dinomp da reiñ en-dro d'ar bed a zo o biziañ. Give back to the world that sustains us. Remember, the future is not fixed, but shaped by your choices and actions. You have the power to create your own destiny, but you also have to face the changes and the challenges of your deeds. Be wise, be brave, and be true to yourself.
