Dear Reader,
Well, this is embarrassing. Maybe it can be a learning moment (for me, not you!)
Last Monday, I was close to publishing a post, but I felt like more could be added to it so I set it aside and planned to complete and send it to you on Thursday, April 11th. If you also publish on Substack, you’ll know you can request the platform to email drafts of posts to yourself, and I had multiple test drafts of this post emailed to me.
Then I allowed myself to get distracted with business. Taxes, paperwork, and other work seemed more important than publishing this post to anyone but myself.
By April 11th, I was having one of the most involved weeks I’ve had in a long time. I checked my email and was surprised to see a post was already published—the one you received from me last Thursday entitled ‘Quick Guide to Secrets of Tarot Card Readings’. I’d forgotten that I scheduled this to publish automatically. I didn’t want to publish twice on the same day so I figured I’d publish the one from the 8th over the weekend.
Now we get to the part where I share about what brought on my embarrassment…
Last Week’s Prediction
Part of the impetus for the post that didn’t get published to anyone but me was a recurring vision. I wasn’t going to publish more predictions until closer to May, but the vision was so clear, frequent, and insistent that I decided to publish sooner.
Let me begin by saying that I don’t think this was only a psychic vision, as some of what I saw could be deduced by common sense. The Islamic Republic (by which I mean the theocratic regime in Iran, not to be confused with Iran or the people of Iran) has been clear for decades about its intent to destroy Israel. Its recent proxy wars through Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis have the same genocidal intentions.
A thought that kept coming to mind lately is that if the Islamic Republic of Iran wants to eradicate Israel, why wouldn’t they attack when they have half of the Jews in the world in one place? I admit I hesitated to publish this part in so many words because I would never want to suggest such a thing.
And yet genocide is a stated intention of IRI proxies like Hamas who explicitly include it in their charter, so why wouldn’t it be the same for their father dictatorship of the IRI? It seemed like this is what these proxy wars have been leading up to as they’ve recently escalated. It hasn’t been a secret that the Islamic Republic and their Axis alliances have been hiding behind proxy provocations around the world, and not just in the Middle East.
By last Saturday, news emerged that the Islamic Republic was sending missiles and drones to attack Israel, just as I’d written in my post below. Since I had Substack email the post to me, it is time-stamped as of April 8th. Here’s the prediction based on the card The Fool (and the recurring vision I mentioned):
I’m glad I wrote this before the attack on April 13th because that makes the rest of it less biased. And some of these details may be cause for hope. The part that says, “Moderate countries defending themselves against Iran and Russia will form an unprecedented alliance that someday contributes to a deeper coexistence” and “a bigger enemy farther from the region brings them together for common survival” are notions I wrote before anything about the attack appeared in the news. This makes me believe that the “unprecedented alliance” we witnessed when other countries helped defend Israel from oncoming missiles will contribute “to a deeper coexistence” in the region.
What I missed in the prediction was which countries would be involved. The unprecedented (direct) alliance was with Jordan rather than the countries I listed. However, perhaps this excerpt is predicting that the attack from the Islamic Republic will bring “UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel” closer together.
The significant part of this prediction is at the end of the first paragraph: “Expect surprise attacks, especially a big one related to the theocratic Islamic Republic of Iran”. The rest of the predictions I made that day are included in the extended part of this post.
This Week’s Reaction
And now we get to the part about why I’m embarrassed. When I realised I’d missed an opportunity to publish this to all of you before it happened, I didn’t kick myself like I would have done before. I felt relief. And that was new. Somehow, it seemed like a good thing to not be known for this, although I’m not entirely sure why.
Anyway, my embarrassment wasn’t caused by the reason it would seem to be. I didn’t regret missing a chance to prove that another prediction came to pass. Instead, I felt retroactively embarrassed for the countless times I cared to be known for being right. Why did it ever matter? There’s nothing to prove to anyone. And it wouldn’t have changed the outcome.
I’ve addressed in previous posts that setting aside the ego and ulterior motives during readings is more beneficial for the recipient (querent). Yet it also helps to let go of how I am perceived after predictions come to pass. If any part of me cares about being proven right that’s coming from a self-seeking place. Self-seeking could also affect how I share predictions. It could even hold me back from sharing in the first place, which also isn’t helpful.
It would be disingenuous to claim that I don’t wish in a tiny part of my mind that I’d published this recent prediction more widely. Yet my curiosity is about what an interesting experience it might have been, rather than the usual feeling that comes from being proven right. It’s only natural to want that, as accuracy and consistency are expected of readers who make predictions. Yet if it goes too far, self-seeking or even self-righteousness can be addictive. And like an addiction, the drug only offers a short-lived rush.
So maybe I’ve learned something. I will always have more to learn. And whether or not I did, I no longer feel the pressure to prove anything, at least for now. I can only hope that lasts.
It seems from this recent incident that something’s changed for me. I have some theories about why that I may share another time. For now, I’d rather continue with the other contents of this post, which includes the rest of the World News From the Future and U.S. Elections Predictions I made on April 8th.
As for the rest of the post, part of the inspiration was a series of dreams I had earlier this month about the future of the British royal family. I also drew cards after these dreams to answer questions about what’s next. Some of you have enjoyed these predictions and requested more (thank you for your feedback!), so I’ve continued with the series. I also drew cards after these dreams to answer questions about what’s next. Before I begin interpreting those dreams and tarot card readings, I’ve included a preview of headlines from the rest of this post…

Sneak peek: News From the Future May Tarot Predictions
Imagery
Standing on a cliff’s edge, the figure in this card could be in danger. However, his faithful friend is barking and warning him when he gets too close to the edge. The sun is bright, filling the sky with golden light that matches the stockings, boots, hair, and part of the floral print worn by this young man. His possessions on a stick denote a carefree attitude. He is more focussed on the adventure of immersing himself in life than he is on acquiring things. The snow-covered mountains are high, and his head is similarly held high and pointing towards the sun in a gesture of optimism and confidence. He holds a white flower in his left hand that matches the centre of the sun, his undershirt, the snow, and his enthusiastic canine companion.
“You cannot fool God; you cannot fool others either. The only one you can fool is yourself. And to fool a fool is no great achievement”. —Rav Shmuel

Interpretation
Upright, this card can be about innocence, a different approach, or readiness for a beginning. Another aspect of this card is emotional; it can bring up feelings of courage, wonderment, and positivity. Reversed, it can represent risks or naïveté and wants against recklessness.
World News From the Future
A Global Battle: Published by Email April 8th
When looking at war, let’s read the card reversed.
This can be a warning against trusting those who have proven in the past to be untrustworthy. Moderate countries defending themselves against Iran and Russia will form an unprecedented alliance that someday contributes to a deeper coexistence. Expect surprise attacks, especially a big one related to the theocratic Islamic Republic of Iran.
An attack from enemies brings multiple countries together with common interests. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel…even if at first some countries seem to be at odds with each other, a bigger enemy farther from the region brings them together for common survival. At the same time, warring factions from within the region—Sunnis and Shiites—eventually turn on each other. There is much destruction before there is retraction. Russia benefits from the attention turning from Ukraine to the Middle East.
UPDATE: A Global Battle
We are witnessing the beginning of the end of the Islamic Republic. And while it may look like the opposite, we are also seeing the beginning of peace in the Middle East. A common enemy will bring nations together throughout much of the region. To be clear, the ‘enemy’ of these nations is the Islamic Republic, and many people in Iran (and throughout the Iranian diaspora) have been bravely and valiantly trying to put an end to that violent regime for years. Monarchists who have been exiled since the revolution of 1979, including Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi, are opposed to the terror regime and there will be an increased call from the people of Iran for the monarchy to return to power.
Russia, however, benefits from this attack on Israel which takes focus away from their attacks on Ukraine. Russia, China, and their proxies are allies of the Islamic Republic, even if China plays at being neutral. This isn’t hard to see, nor was it surprising that attacks in the Middle East and towards Ukraine have been building up to a global conflict for years. Dictators stick together. Democracies celebrate freedom and encourage uniqueness. Freedom and self-expression threaten authoritarian regimes that require obedience and conformity to stay in power.
Radical Islamism, fascism, and Communism are ideologies that have failed before in practise. They’re back for an attempted reprise but will fail again this time. What is happening beyond what we see today is a shift to a different form of capitalism, which retains parts of a capitalist system but adds other components of a new system onto it. However, those components will have to be compatible with democracy. Expect a new era of economics to be borne from the current Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus that begins today for the first time since 1941. Those were the early times of WW II, and we are in the early period of another world war (although one more akin to the ‘30s than ‘40s). Perhaps the acceleration from a state like the ‘30s to one like the ‘40s this time will be due to technological changes.
As a final note for this section for now (and I don’t say this lightly), The Fool about to jump off the edge of a cliff is the world getting dangerously close to nuclear war. We are closer than ever to the threat of nuclear attack and the chain of command is coming from the Kremlin. Watch what happens to Israel when Iran attacks again. So much of what has preceded in the last couple of years (from the attacks on Ukraine to the attack to the spreading of propaganda on social media) was intended to distract from this ever-closer danger. That distinction tactic as orchestrated by the Islamic Republic, Russia, and China has been effective. Russia has the second-largest nuclear arsenal in the world next to the U.S., and the IRI has been clear about wanting to develop its nuclear power. Nuclear power would be catastrophic in the hands of the IRI, especially as they are allied with Russia. This is why there will be so much scrutiny towards Biden and other Democrats for previously providing material support to the IRI, no matter what sanctions they may impose now.
Dreams From the Future: I had a dream of people spreading a pox-like illness with big red spots that start on (or at least are most visible on) the forehead and then the face. It spreads by touching hands. It looked like measles, but there was the word (or a word like) ‘pox’ floating around in these future times. Another pandemic may be on the way (sorry!), but I also felt calm in the dream. It was different this time, and something had been learned from the Covid pandemic which made us more prepared to suppress this measles or pox-like disease.
U.S. News From the Future
The thing to watch for next is how the youngest generation of voters react to China. They will shift their attention to China as conflict diminishes in Gaza, and vow an allegiance to Communism for which they will see China as a model. Their support for the government of China will somehow play into their rejection of tradition in the November elections.
State of the Election Predictions
The Fool embarks on a majorly new way of doing things. There will likely be a technological change with these elections, possibly last minute or close to it. Reversed, this card can be about unintended financial or professional consequences. It warns against being overly trusting with those who have sought to be harmful before, or who promise to harm again.
Beyond a technological change that affects the elections, how does The Fool relate to the 2024 outcome? Trump will use Biden’s relationship with and funding of the IRI against him. He will likely point to Biden’s recent $10 billion sanctions waiver to the Islamic Republic of Iran in addition to previous funding, claiming that Iran would not have been able to do what they have through their proxy wars (Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis) or their current attack on Israel if it hadn’t been for Biden’s funding. I’m not passing judgment on that funding as I don’t have enough information about what drove those decisions. The problem with Biden’s administration doing anything supportive of the IRI is that the Republican Party will be able to make a convincing case that the IRI (which chants “Death to America”) wants to attack the U.S. next. Trump will frame the Democratic Party as “anti-American” and we can expect him to claim that Biden put the U.S. in jeopardy of being attacked. Even an attempt of an attack would put Biden’s bid at risk. What The Fool card tells us is that the Democratic Party will need to come up with a way to frame those choices so it doesn’t backfire by election time.
Biden’s people-pleasing (or whoever is directing him to play both sides) is an issue in terms of him not seeing to take a strong stance on anything. Trying to please everyone often ends up with pleasing no one. He will be seen as ‘wavering and waffling’, going back and forth with allegiances to opposing stances, and therefore coming off as ‘weak’. This isn’t my opinion but I predict it’s how he will be depicted in op-eds from people of both parties. the frustration is bipartisan.
You can agree or disagree with this stance. I’m just predicting that the Republican Party will put forward a narrative of inconsistency from Biden’s presidency. They will declare that these decisions and this funding were contradictory to the position of the U.S. as an ally to democracies. However, their claim of Biden being contradictory is also contradictory when considering Trump’s previous support for Russia and current stance. Yet Trump will present himself as the answer to ending conflicts. His campaign will transition into promises of ensuring security and prosperity. The rise of terrorism that’s happening in multiple countries will also bring a rise in right-wing regimes.
More specifically, Trump will try to garner votes by swearing this never would have happened under his watch, and that a vote for him is a vote for peace. He may even come up with a slogan like, “A vote for me is a vote for peace” in an attempt to draw hard-left supporters to him as they become increasingly with Biden. At the same time, he may be suffering from heart problems and stress that make his campaign a difficult endeavour. Neither Trump nor Biden will be doing well by the fall when it comes to health. This is a problem, and part of the disruption that the cards (including The Fool) predict for the last days before the election. It will be chaos if one of them can’t make it to Election Day.
When it comes to The Fool, there is a warning not to get too comfortable. The Fool is like a trickster or jester who imparts words of wisdom or criticism of politicians that are veiled under jokes. that veiling makes it safe to share a critique of those in power. The Fool is a truth sayer but not everyone wants to hear about reality. Who are the fools of our time, and how will their opinions be suppressed in these elections, or as a result of them?
Add to that a lot of Gen Z and far-left voters who will choose neither the Democratic nor the Republican candidate and vote for a 3rd party. This is because those leftist voters would have gone for a more far-left candidate (such as, if they had the option, Bernie Sanders…even though many of them have since gone farther left and are more in support of Communism. Sanders is more of a Democratic Socialist). Also, there will be division amongst 3rd party voters so they will not all be on the same page about which 3rd party candidate to choose.
Another spoiler in this election has to do with concerns about a candidate stepping down or stepping aside, whether it’s obvious that is happening at first or not. The ones who seem to be running now aren’t there in the same way by election time. Someone is switched out for another candidate, causing chaos and disruption. Part of this may be due to a health issue as I mentioned before, but something more is happening behind the scenes. I don’t like to say it, but one of these candidates is on borrowed time. The Fool card shows a new beginning, not an older candidate towards the end of his career. The Fool indicates a new generation taking over; specifically, the youngest one now eligible to vote. The Fool tells us that a younger candidate ends up serving as President—and that is neither Biden nor Trump.
All this also comes back to The Fool because Trump will point at Biden (and Obama) and call them something like ‘fools’, centrists will claim that Trump supporters are ‘fools’, and many to the centre and right will refer to those on the far left ‘fools’. The problem with this is that self-righteousness fosters a lack of debate which prevents growth. A focus on labeling is a search for understanding but doesn’t lead to change in the short time we have before the elections. That change comes later when a bigger foe brings people together in a way that transcends parties. But let’s save that for another post when we explore beyond 2024…
Visions: There will be activists calling for the removal of the terms ‘son’ and ‘daughter', saying they make assumptions about gender. Do you think this goes too far? Whatever you feel about it, this is where the conversation is bound to go.
Future News for You
When reading the card for your personal life, we can interpret it as both Upright and Reversed, as it flipped upright when I laid it out on the table.
Reversed, this card cautions against impulsive actions. In some cases, it can be a warning against risk-taking.
Upright, this card represents a lighthearted, exciting, boundless feeling of new possibilities. This could be a time when a new opportunity opens up or a feeling of positivity expands. Someone may surprise you with beautiful words, you could try something new, take a leap of faith, explore a new belief system, or put an idea into action. The Fool is fearless, an idealist, and curious about what’s next. He or she is very in the moment and from that place, additional options become apparent..and when more things are noticeable, a lot more becomes possible.
The Fool exists at the end of a long era and the beginning of another—and in a big way, as it is a Major Arcana card. This could refer to the ending of the Age of Pisces and the early days of the Age of Aquarius. That shift brings religious changes, especially for Christianity. There will also be a major change for religions that proselytize, as Aquarius rejects hierarchy and competition. So we can expect a near-future transformation of these religions themselves (a restart, if you will), and a challenge coming from an opposing or alternative ideology that sparks this new beginning. Considering the Aquarian influences, part of the change will be about how religious institutions reach out and make themselves available to communities and causes.
Future News for Animal Companions
The dog in this card indicates a deeper respect for non-human beings in this new era and an acknowledgment of their souls as similar to ours. Aquarianism emphasises egalitarianism. As such, this card and current astrological influences indicate that other beings will be afforded similar respect to humans. This next phase of our existence will include a greater focus on 1) space travel, 2) AI and its role in combatting climate change and diminishing the threat of nuclear war, and 3) the rights of children and non-human beings.
One of the developments in non-human rights will be sparked by technology translations for animal companions. Once they can talk, even through a device or app that translates their thoughts, there will be no going back to how they were perceived before. It will feel like they’re one of us. And of course, we were always close all along (which is especially clear in the special relationship between dogs and humans). But in this next phase of technology, closer communication will help us experience the details of how similar we are. I’m predicting this based on dreams of talking animals and Uranus in Gemini (an unusual and revolutionary step forward in communication from 2025-2033).
This will happen just at the time as vegetarianism and pescatarianism (as well as other variations of a more plant-based diet) are becoming more popular. I’m not saying what anyone should or shouldn’t eat. Rather, I am predicting a shift in perception as revolutionary food technology soon improves the quality of substitutes. We know that there have been meat substitutes on the market for a long time, and even brands like Yves go back to the 1980s. The difference with Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus is a near-future rapidity of technology. I expect that more specific flavours like veal and lamb are on the horizon. People will have strong feelings for and against lab-based meats and other lab-created foods. Either way, the changes that happen as animal companions become verbal and more imperceptible meat substitutes become available will be almost simultaneous…and that is no coincidence.
Royal Predictions Update
History’s Mysteries Solved: Tarot Reading, Past and Present
Past
In the past, the Death Reversed could signify a close call. The Death card arose in a previous reading about the Royal Family and represented Charles. Did he have a close call with his health before his current state?
Present
The King of Cups reversed can signify drugs that are not doing well in one’s system. While this can indicate taking drugs it can also indicate his reaction to a drug that he is given.
What’s Next in the Cards?: British Royal Family Predictions
Future Part I
The next step in major news for the family is related to travel. Based on the previous two cards about medical issues, this trip is likely to do with health.
Future Part II
The next step after The World and its connotations of travel from one country to another is represented by The Tower. Death and The Tower together signify an ending. The King of Cups Reversed echoes the card we got in February of this year that represented Charles falling from the throne. Now the King of Pentacles has become the King of Cups. In February, it was the Pentacles (money, resources, or power) falling from the King’s pockets. In April and by May this card means that the King’s relationships (Cups) as they now are (or the cup of life) will fall away. The King of Pentacles R followed by the King of Cups R and The Tower can signify a decline in health or a loss of power.
I chose the cards above for further guidance after a couple of recent dreams about the royal family…
Dreams From the Future
Prince Harry and the Tale of the Wayward Horse
Here is the dream I had a couple of weeks ago, which had many elements of predictive dreams I’ve experienced before:
A woman with dark hair joins Prince Harry for an equestrian ride that goes wrong. Her hair is pulled back and she is in an unusual outfit. It is almost out of time with the period she is in. There is an accident due to something dangerous encountered on this expedition. Their images, separate from one another, show up in news headlines. They are more disconnected than connected in the future. He seems fine but she is frozen in time on that ride. I see her as a photograph, moving from three dimensions into one. On another level, it feels like she is taking him on a ride.
The thing that went wrong was not his fault, yet she was going to meet him and they were meant to ride together. Somehow, from a distance, a cousin is involved. A distant cousin? Yet none of these details are revealed until later. So much is hidden in this dream.
Is there a clue in the title of this dream, which has a homophone embedded in the word “tale” which also sounds like “tail” (of a horse)? What could be the meaning of a “tail” in this tale about a horse gone wrong?
One of the last images from this dream is of a woman in a castle, watching them from a window. The feeling at the start of the dream is hopeful, and a pleasant afternoon is expected. There may be a shooting accident as someone is hunting, or perhaps something went wrong with a horse. Whatever happens, that day ends in tragedy and a feeling of solemnity. Somehow, Harry is saved—it seems he has luck, by one miracle after another. But is it luck, or was he being protected? And if he is being protected, is it by some divine force or something on Earth—or somehow by both?
Following the dream, I pulled a card for deeper clues—and amazingly drew the Knight of Wands, which depicts a man on a horse. How might this relate to the dream? The first thing I notice is his armour which signifies protection.
Secrets of a Family Nurse
I had a dream the night before the equestrian story that was more of a moving image from a scene than a saga. The dream about Harry took place in the span of a day. This next dream captured several moments but hinted at secrets from a more long-term story that is far from reaching its conclusion.
The image was a nurse in a white and grey uniform (grey pinafore) with her hair up and looking old-fashioned. She seems to be a personal nurse who was hired by the royal family. She discovers something in a room and I see her in the hallway, with a look of shock and horror on her face. She holds her left hand up to her mouth and gasps—is the hand a reflex to her reaction to what she’s seen? Or is she holding her hand to her mouth to indicate she must keep a secret? Based on the mixed look of hiding and surprise in her eyes, it seems to be both. Yet I cannot yet see what is in the other room in this dream.
What I could see was that Kate was in one of the rooms from which she’d just emerged. The nurse is in shock and horror at what she’d seen and what she could not say. She’d been sworn to secrecy.
After the dream, I pulled a card for more information about what this meant. I drew the 2 of Swords, which features a woman in white, as in the dream, and the shadows are in grey. She sits on a grey bench. The swords are silver with tinges of white from the moonlight. She is blindfolded and either restricts or protects herself with two swords. At the edge of the sea, which is influenced by the moon, she is influenced by nearby water and faraway universal forces. Notably, her eyes are hidden, whereas in the dream the nurse was hiding her mouth. Why is she not allowed to say what she saw?
We know the news that Kate and Charles III are ill. What is the secret this nurse was keeping that we do not know? I went back to previous predictions about the British Royal Family to piece together some of the clues.
I’ll update you about what I discovered in another post soon…

HI Kyra,
I found the dream about Harry interesting. I follow Jessica Adams also and her theories about Russia being involved and this being part of a much more complex puzzle. I'm not sure if you saw the horses that escaped in London covered in blood? Symbolic and a nice link to your dream. I did read a theory, so out there that I read it and thought maybe it could be something as farfetched as Kate having a forced abortion and Williams involvement in a crime. It sounds crazy, but I do think that what is really happening is far more cloak and daggers than we are being told.
I was wondering if I could ask you to pull a tarot for me for the next month. I don't have a specific question, just really seeking a signpost of what's to come.
Thanks kindly.
Dear Kyra,
Wow! There's so much to unpack in your May prediction that I could write an entire dissertation here, but don't worry, I promise I'll focus. :P
Firstly, I've been following Marianne Williamson for a while, and even though she doesn't seem to have gained enough traction to go against the titans of the US two-party system, I wonder if she has any chances (even if not to win the presidency) to somehow enact structural change into US American politics through her own campaigning. I find her quite fascinating, as she brings back discussion on some of the social issues in the US previously delved into by third-party presidential hopeful Jill Stein, but she also seems to be one of the only US presidential candidates to be very explicit about their spiritual beliefs in connection with their politics. This seems to echo a lot of the current themes under Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus, shifting not only material values on currency and property from the past two decades into a more spiritual strata, but also in questioning a morale that has seemed to imbue US American politics with what's been heavily connected to what Williamson calls "the erosion of the middle class in the United States".
On the other hand, here in my current country of residency, Germany, I have been witnessing the rise of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is believed by many to become much more prominent in the next election cycle here in the country in 2025. As I have left my home country of Brazil almost a decade ago due to experiencing in the flesh the rise of neofascist movements, I have myself started to plan a move to London, as my reasoning suggests a softer ground to land there, having already dealt (or at least being in the process of dealing) with Brexit and its aftermath. I have also noticed, as a migrant, that Germany created a sort of "marketing language", through which a lot of job applications seem to enforce the interest in "equality for women, people with migration background, people with disabilities" etc in the job selection process for skilled workers. In my experience, however, after having applied to over 200 jobs for the past year, and never having gotten one single interview out of them, I would say that these efforts are somewhat conceited. Just to contextualise, I graduated summa cum laude with a Masters degree from one of the country's top universities, and I'm on the fast track to becoming a German citizen, due to "special integration achievements", guaranteed under the new migration law passed early this year.
In this sense, I have noticed that my job prospects in Germany are usually more successful in vocational jobs, where my academic degree or level of German are actually irrelevant, since my first career choice has always been as a performing artist. As I bring The Fool's energy into my own private future reading (this archetype was also drawn for me as my 2024 card), I have been wondering, though, if I should accelerate my plans into moving to London. Just this week, I received a reasonably-paid job offer as a singer in a cruise ship fleet here in Germany, but it has already been delayed and changed twice (!!!). I know that part of this is also because of the current Mercury retrograde cycle, but I can't deny that I've been feeling a great deal of frustration in living in Germany and feeling like no matter how hard I work here, things just don't seem to follow through.
Would you help me understand if I should shift my focus, then, and really keep on applying to jobs in London, if I want to truly honour my vision of moving there?
Namaskar!
