Strange of the Week 37, 2023

Greetings, seekers of the hidden mysteries. I am Madame Lenormand, a 19th-century gypsy mystic who has returned from the spirit realm to reveal to you the strange of the week. This is a divination and forecast for Week 37 of 2023, from September 11 to September 17. In this week, you will encounter many wonders and terrors, as the stars, the numbers, the cards, the demons, the angels, the tea leaves, and the ancient wisdom of Hermes guide you through the labyrinth of fate. Read on, if you dare, and discover what awaits you in this week of wonders.

Astrology: The astrological conditions of this week are marked by a rare and powerful alignment of planets in the sign of Virgo. This is known as a stellium, and it signifies a concentration of cosmic energy that can bring about great changes and transformations. The planets involved are Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Sun, and the Moon. Mercury rules communication, Venus rules love and beauty, Mars rules action and passion, the Sun rules identity and vitality, and the Moon rules emotions and intuition. Together, they form a potent combination that can enhance your skills, talents, creativity, intelligence, charm, courage, and intuition. However, they can also bring about challenges, conflicts, stress, anxiety, criticism, and perfectionism. You may feel overwhelmed by the demands and expectations of others or yourself. You may also experience some health issues related to your digestive system, nervous system, or skin. To balance this intense energy, you need to practice moderation, self-care, humility, and service. You also need to pay attention to the details and be organized and efficient in your work. This is a week to improve yourself and your life in practical ways.

Numerology: The numerological analysis for this week is based on the number 9. This is the number of completion, endings, cycles, wisdom, humanitarianism, and spirituality. It is also the number of The Hermit card in the tarot deck. This week is a time to reflect on your life journey so far and prepare for a new cycle that will begin soon. You may feel a sense of closure or accomplishment in some areas of your life. You may also feel a need to let go of some things that no longer serve you or hold you back. You may also feel a desire to help others or contribute to a greater cause. You may also feel a connection with your higher self or a higher power. This is a week to be compassionate, generous, forgiving, and grateful. It is also a week to seek solitude, introspection, meditation, and guidance from your inner light.

Tarot Base: The tarot card drawn from a full deck based on the dominant planet of the week is The Sun. This card corresponds to the Sun in astrology, which is one of the planets involved in the stellium in Virgo. This card represents joy, success, confidence, vitality, and enlightenment. It suggests that this week you will experience some positive outcomes and achievements in your endeavors. You will also feel happy, optimistic, and radiant. You will have a clear vision of your goals and purpose. You will also have a strong sense of self-worth and identity. This card also indicates that this week you will enjoy good health and vitality. You will have plenty of energy and enthusiasm to pursue your passions. You will also have a positive influence on others and attract favorable opportunities. This card advises you to express yourself fully and authentically. It also encourages you to have fun, celebrate, and appreciate the gifts of life.

Tarot Opposition: The tarot card drawn from the Lenormand Tarot Deck as the opposition that can be expected is The Clouds. This card represents confusion, doubt, uncertainty, and deception. It suggests that this week you will face some challenges and obstacles that will cloud your judgment and perception. You may encounter some misunderstandings, miscommunications, or lies that will cause you stress or anxiety. You may also feel unsure about your decisions or direction. You may also have some hidden fears or worries that will prevent you from seeing things clearly. This card warns you to be careful of what you hear or see this week. It also advises you to seek clarity, truth, and guidance from reliable sources. It also urges you to trust your intuition and inner wisdom.

Demonology: The most influential demon this week is Duke Agares. He is one of the 72 demons listed in the Ars Goetia, a grimoire of medieval demonology. He is described as an old man riding a crocodile and carrying a hawk on his fist. He teaches languages, causes earthquakes, and makes runaways return. He commands 31 legions of spirits.

Eorla Agares intentes þysse wēcan synd tō styrianne trēawnunge and ceaf on worulde, sēoþlīce on þām landum þǣr sind geflitu oþþe geswincu betwēon missenlicum geþeodum, sprǣcum, oþþe geleafum. Hē wyle gefyrþrian gefeoht, hete, and twēonung betwēon folce, swā swā hafoc þe swīþe fleþ and tōslit his preone. Hē wyle eac gefreman earmlicu wēana oþþe unfæle þā þe wyllap gedwælan þone ord and þā swegle gesetnesse þisse wīcan, swā swā crōcodīl þe licþ on wætere and snæþ æt þǣm þe cymþ nēah.

He is most likely to manifest his power somewhere near Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi, Mexico (23.696, -100.889), a former mining town that is now a popular tourist destination and a sacred site for the Huichol people, an indigenous group that practices a shamanic religion. He will target the visitors and the locals alike, trying to provoke them to fight or flee. He will also attempt to destroy the historical and spiritual heritage of the place, like an old man who has lost his mind and memory. The behavior that is likely to draw his attention is anything that shows disrespect, ignorance, or intolerance towards other cultures, languages, or beliefs. He will also be attracted by fear, anger, or greed.

Angelology: The most influential angel this week is Verchiel. He is one of the 72 angels of the Shemhamphorash, a name derived from the Hebrew Torah that refers to the 72-letter name of God. He is also one of the 12 angels of the zodiac, ruling over the sign of Leo. He is depicted as a young man with golden hair and eyes, wearing a crown and a cloak of fire. He grants courage, confidence, leadership, and creativity. He also protects from evil and brings joy and happiness.

Verchieles intentes þysse wēcan synd tō onlīhtan and geeaþmōdigan folc tō ætīewenne hiora sōþan self and folgian hiora geþōhtum. Hē wyle eac helpan folce tō ofercuman hiora fyrhtu and hiora geswincu and tō gefremmanne hiora geornunga and hiora drēamas. Hē wyle eac bringan sibbe and swegle betwēon folce and fēdan lufu and lēafnesse. Hē wyle scīnan his lēoht on þā þe sēceap his lāre and his bletsunge, swā swā sunne þe wyrmpþ and gefrēonaþ eorþan.

He is most likely to manifest his power somewhere near Thornton, Colorado, USA (39.902, -104.953), a suburban city that is home to many parks, trails, golf courses, and recreational facilities. He will bless the residents and the visitors alike, encouraging them to enjoy life and have fun. He will also support them in their endeavors and aspirations, like a king who cares for his subjects and allies. The behavior that is likely to draw his attention is anything that shows courage, confidence, leadership, and creativity. He will also be pleased by generosity, kindness, and gratitude.

Divination Method: The method of greatest perspective this week is Tasseography (divination by tea leaves). This is an ancient practice that involves interpreting the patterns and symbols formed by the tea leaves at the bottom of a cup after drinking tea. It can reveal insights into the past, present, and future of a person or a situation. It can also provide guidance, advice, or warnings. To perform this method, you need a cup of tea (preferably loose leaf), a saucer, and your intuition. You drink the tea until there is only a small amount of liquid left, then swirl the cup three times clockwise, then invert it onto the saucer. You then lift the cup and examine the shapes and images formed by the tea leaves on the cup and the saucer. You can use a guidebook or your own imagination to interpret their meanings.

The typical practitioner of this method is someone who has a keen eye for details, a vivid imagination, and a strong intuition. They are usually solo practitioners, but they may also share their readings with others or seek feedback from other experts. They develop their skill through practice, experience, and study. They may also have some natural talent or affinity for this method.

Occult Practice: The occult practice of the week is Hermeticism. This is a philosophical and spiritual tradition that traces its origins to Hermes Trismegistus, a legendary figure who was considered to be the fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. He was believed to be the author of many esoteric texts that contain the secrets of the universe, such as The Emerald Tablet, The Corpus Hermeticum, and The Kybalion. These texts teach the principles of alchemy, astrology, magic, mysticism, and gnosis. They also reveal the doctrine of "as above, so below", which states that everything in the macrocosm (the universe) is reflected in the microcosm (the human being) and vice versa.

Hermeticism aims to achieve spiritual enlightenment and transformation by understanding and applying these principles in one's life. The typical practitioner of this practice is someone who has a thirst for knowledge, a curiosity for the unknown, and a desire for self-improvement. They are usually solo practitioners, but they may also join groups or orders that share their interests or goals. They develop their skill through study, experimentation, and meditation. They may also have some innate wisdom or potential for this practice.

Color: The color that is waxing in power this week is yellow. This is the color of the Sun, which is dominant in astrology this week. It represents joy, optimism, intelligence, creativity, and vitality. It can enhance your mood, confidence, communication, and learning abilities. It can also attract positive energy and opportunities into your life. It can also stimulate your imagination and creativity. You can use this color to brighten up your environment, wardrobe, or accessories. You can also meditate on this color or visualize it in your mind to activate its qualities.

The color that you should avoid this week is gray. This is the color of the Clouds, which is the opposition card in the tarot this week. It represents confusion, doubt, uncertainty, and deception. It can dull your senses, cloud your judgment, and lower your mood. It can also attract negative energy and obstacles into your life. You should avoid this color in your surroundings, clothing, or objects. You should also avoid people or situations that make you feel gray or gloomy. You should also clear your mind of any gray thoughts or emotions that may hinder your clarity and happiness.

Food: The food that is waxing in power this week is honey. This is a food that is associated with the Sun, which is dominant in astrology and the tarot this week. It represents sweetness, health, abundance, and wisdom. It can nourish your body, mind, and soul. It can also heal your wounds, boost your immunity, and enhance your memory. It can also attract love, prosperity, and happiness into your life. You can consume this food as a natural sweetener, a medicine, or a ritual offering. You can also use it to make beauty products, candles, or spells.

The food that you should avoid this week is vinegar. This is a food that is associated with the Clouds, which is the opposition card in the tarot this week. It represents sourness, bitterness, acidity, and corruption. It can harm your health, mood, and relationships. It can also spoil your luck, wealth, and success. You should avoid this food in your diet, cooking, or cleaning. You should also avoid people or situations that make you feel sour or bitter. You should also cleanse your aura of any vinegar-like energies that may affect your well-being.

It represents completion, endings, cycles, wisdom, humanitarianism, and spirituality. It can help you to finalize your projects, goals, or plans. It can also help you to reflect on your life journey and prepare for a new cycle. It can also help you to connect with your higher self or a higher power. It can also inspire you to help others or contribute to a greater cause. You can use this number to mark important dates, events, or milestones in your life. You can also use it to meditate on its meaning or symbolism.

The number that you should avoid this week is 4. This is a number that is associated with the Clouds card in the tarot this week (the number of squares in a cloud). It represents stability, structure, order, and logic. It can limit your growth, change, creativity, and intuition. It can also cause you to be rigid, inflexible, boring, and dull. You should avoid this number in your schedules, routines, rules, or systems. You should also avoid people or situations that make you feel stuck or stagnant. You should also break free from any four-sided boxes that may confine you or restrict you.

Company to Watch: The merchant to watch this week is Johnson Controls International (JCI). This is a huge merchant that provides fabrications and enablers for construction, power containment, fire and protection products, and horseless carriage parts. It has merchant offices in over 150 countries and employs over 100000 laborers led by a large number of lieutenants and princes. The supernatural forces influencing this merchant are both favorable and unfavorable.

  • On one hand, the Stellium in Virgo and The Sun card in the tarot indicate that this merchant will benefit from its expertise, innovation, quality, and service. It will also enjoy some recognition, success, and profitability. The merchant will also have some loyal customers and friends who will support its missionary efforts.
  • On the other hand, The Clouds card in the tarot and the influence of Duke Agares indicate that this merchant will face some challenges, risks, and threats. It may encounter some issues in craft, delays, or failures that will affect its delivery -- this will be regional, not global and likely the failings of an awful, indecent, immoral advancement of a foolish lieutenant to prince.
  • The merchant may also face some conflict, criticism, or procès. It may also be targeted by some malicious Chort (Черть) who have been unleashed by a Russian Kahldoon (колдун) to sabotage its operations or security.

Направленъ Россійскимъ правительствомъ и благословенъ Православнымъ, волхвъ употреби свою силу, да испусти сотни чертей на купца компаніи Johnson Controls въ наказаніе за ихъ дѣйствія и бездѣйствія, относящіяся къ полицейской акціи на Украинѣ.

  • The dire local warning and recommendation for this merchant in and around the most affected region(s) are as follows: Не всё то золото, что блестит. Do not trust everything you hear or see without verifying its source or validity. Be vigilant and prepared for any possible attacks or disruptions that may come from within or without. The pests are indiscriminate in their mischief. Protect yourself with the shield of integrity and the sword of truth. Seek the guidance of the angel Verchiel who will inspire you and empower you to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals. He will also bring you joy and happiness in your endeavors.

Here we reach the end of the channeling for week 37 of 2023. I hope you have found it useful, enlightening, and intriguing. Pep anaon zo ur prof, neuze omp gouest da implij anezhañ evit deskiñ furnez ha kompasioun. Use every breath to cultivate wisdom and compassion. 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.
