Today I think I’ll climb a bit farther out on a limb.  I just hope that it and the tree from which it grows are both healthy.  I am thinking that I’ll try and forecast the weather for another country or set of countries.  I Just want to see how it goes.  I would like to think of it as an experiment.

Region:  England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Date(s)  Monday July 17 to Friday July 21, 2017

Deck:  The Hermetic

Cards Drawn:  Set One:  The Hierophant (5 Major Arcana, inverse), Ace of Pentacles (inverse), Queen of Wands (inverse), The Universe (21 Major Arcana), Wheel of Fortune (10 Major Arcana), 5 of Wands, Princess of Pentacles, The Devil (15 Major Arcana)

Set Two:  The Magician (1 Major Arcana, inverse),  10 of Pentacles (inverse).

Forecast:  In the first set of cards there are four representatives from the Major Arcana, sometimes known as Trumps and in the second set there is one.  So there are five cards from the Major Arcana or that half of the cards drawn are from the Major Arcana indicating that there are forces at work here that are tricky or beyond our control or our ability to read successfully.  Think of it like a drunk pissing into the wind and trying not to get wet.

I’ll give it a shot anyway, just for giggles.  Whatever the weather is on Monday will hang on until the middle of the forecast period, mid day on Wednesday.  In general terms the conditions will be about average in temperature and tending toward dry or drier but the skies will show rain, mostly cloudy to cloudy and conditions will be humid.  Any wet weather will be passing or short lived but don’t expect to see much of the sun.  Cloudy conditions will persist through until Friday though the sun might start to show its self in regions farther west and south.  Any wet weather will have cleared out passed the mid day on Wednesday and conditions should be dry and temperatures moderating to average or slightly better than average by Friday.  I am still expecting mostly cloudy to partly cloudy conditions by Friday proper.  I just wanted to add that the current pattern is setting up a trend that will persist well passed this forecast period as indicated by the Devil and The Universe.  There is the possibility of freakish atmospheric effects that are otherwise not dangerous and may strike viewers as some what unnatural.  I simply say that if this should happen enjoy it for it doesn’t indicate anything catastrophic.

Remember that those five cards pulled from the Major Arcana make anyone’s guess about equal.

When all else fails just try and have a better than average day.
