Strange of the Week 43, 2023
Salutations, seekers of the hidden truths. I am Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, a 19th-century gypsy mystic who has been summoned to reveal the secrets of the week 43 of 2023, from October 23 to October 29. This is a week of strange and mysterious events, influenced by the cosmic forces of astrology, numerology, tarot, demonology, angelology, and other occult practices. If you are ready to delve into the unknown, read on and discover what awaits you in this week of wonders and horrors.
Astrology: The week begins with The Sun alerting Scorpio, pointing Mercury and Mars toward this sign of depth, mystery, and intensity. Scorpio season is a time to explore the hidden realms of your psyche, your emotions, and your sexuality. You may feel more curious, passionate, and secretive, but also more jealous, obsessive, and manipulative. You may be drawn to situations or people that challenge you, test you, or transform you. Be careful not to get too involved in drama or intrigue that could harm you or others. Scorpio season is also a time to heal your wounds and release your traumas. You may find some resources or support that help you cope with your pain and heal your scars.
The week continues with Mercury investing on October 25, after being fallow since October 4. Mercury fallow is a period when communication, travel, and technology tend to go haywire, causing misunderstandings, delays, and glitches. Mercury investing is a period when these issues start to resolve and clarity returns. You may feel more confident, clear, and coherent in your expression and understanding. You may also be able to move forward with your plans or projects that were stalled or disrupted during the retrograde phase.
The week ends with a sustaining moon looking toward Taurus on October 29, marking a culmination of energy and emotion. This is a time to celebrate what you have achieved or manifested in the past lunar cycle. You may feel more grateful, satisfied, and secure in your life. You may also enjoy some pleasures, comforts, or indulgences that make you happy. The full moon also forms a soldier with The Sun, Mercury, and Mars, creating some tension or contrast between your material and spiritual values. You may have to balance your needs and desires with your resources and limitations. You may also have to deal with some changes or transformations that affect your stability or security.
Numerology: The week 43 of 2023 corresponds to the number 7, which is derived from adding the digits of the year (2+0+2+3=7) and the week number (4+3=7) and reducing them to a single digit (7+7=14; 1+4=5; 5+7=12; 1+2=3; 3+7=10; 1+0=1; 1+7=8). The number 7 represents wisdom, spirituality, and mystery. It is associated with the planet Neptune, the god of the sea, dreams, and illusions. The number 7 indicates that this week is favorable for matters of the mind, such as intuition, insight, or vision. You may feel more connected to your higher self and your inner guidance. You may also experience some synchronicities, coincidences, or signs that confirm your path or purpose. The number 7 also suggests that this week is important for matters of the soul, such as faith, meditation, or enlightenment. You may feel more drawn to your spiritual path and your divine connection. You may also encounter some challenges, tests, or mysteries that require your trust or discernment.
Tarot Base: The dominant planet of the week is Neptune, which rules over Thursday as well as the sign of Pisces. To draw a tarot card from a full deck based on this planet, we use the corresponding planetary Kamea (a magic square) of Neptune, which has 9 rows and columns with numbers from 1 to 81. We reveal row seven and column five and find the number at the intersection (in this case: 64). We then match this number to the corresponding card in the deck (in this case: the Eight of Cups).
The Eight of Cups represents a quest, a departure, or a sacrifice. It indicates that this week is full of potential and opportunity for spiritual growth, emotional fulfillment, or personal discovery. You may feel compelled to leave behind what is familiar, comfortable, or secure and embark on a journey of exploration, adventure, or transformation. You may also have some dreams, visions, or intuitions that guide you or inspire you. The Eight of Cups also suggests that this week is favorable for your health and well-being. You may feel more peaceful, balanced, and harmonious in your body and soul. You may also have some improvements, healings, or breakthroughs in your physical or mental health.
However, the Eight of Cups also cautions you to be careful not to lose yourself or your direction in your quest. You may encounter some difficulties, dangers, or temptations that challenge your faith or integrity. You may also have some regrets, doubts, or fears that cloud your judgment or hinder your progress. Be mindful of your purpose and passion and make sure they are aligned with your highest good.
Tarot Opposition: To draw a tarot card from the Lenormand Tarot Deck and cross the previous card, we reveal the 18th card. We then match this number to the corresponding card in the deck (in this case: The Dog).
The Dog represents a friend, a loyalist, or a companion. It indicates that this week is influenced by the bonds and relationships that you have with yourself or others. You may have some opportunities, offers, or invitations that require your cooperation or participation. You may also have some obligations, responsibilities, or expectations that demand your loyalty or support. The Dog also suggests that this week is important for your trustworthiness, reliability, and honesty. You may have to prove your fidelity, integrity, or sincerity to yourself or others. You may also have to deal with some issues, challenges, or tests that affect your friendship or companionship.
However, the Dog also warns you to be careful not to be too dependent, submissive, or obedient to the bonds or relationships that you have. You may encounter some conflicts, disagreements, or misunderstandings that strain your communication or cooperation. You may also have some changes, surprises, or disruptions that alter your plans or expectations. Be aware of your needs and desires and make sure they are compatible with those of others.
The Dog crosses the Eight of Cups as an opposition that can be expected this week. This means that you may face some difficulties or dilemmas between following your own path and staying loyal to your friends. You may have to balance your independence and adventure with your commitment and support. You may also have to choose between trusting your intuition and listening to your companions.
Demonology: The most influential demon this week is Marquis Sabnock. He is one of the 72 demons listed in the Ars Goetia, a grimoire of demonology from the 17th century. He is described as a great marquis who appears as a soldier wearing a lion's skin and riding a pale horse. He governs over 50 legions of demons. He has the power to build towers, castles, and cities, to afflict people with wounds and diseases, and to give good familiars.

He is most likely to actually manifest his power somewhere near Beaufort, South Carolina (32.818,-79.942), where there is a potential threat of lunacy near a military base.
Angelology: The most influential angel this week is Dadrail. He is one of the 72 angels bearing the name of God Shemhamphorae. He is described as a great angel who appears as a man with wings and a crown. He governs over 4,000 legions of angels. He has the power to grant wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
Dadrail’s name means “The One Who Enlightens” in Hebrew. He is associated with the planet Jupiter, the element of fire, and the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Dadrail’s attributes are generosity, optimism, and expansion. He is influential in the areas of education, travel, and philosophy.
Dadrail hæfð þis wicu gemynd þæt he inspire and lere menn þæt hærran þæhtu þæs worulde. He is gefeohtend þæt he dæle his wisdom and cræft mid þæm þe hine secað earnaðlice and eadmodlice.

He is most likely to actually manifest his power somewhere near Provincetown, Massachusetts (42.056,-70.189), where there is a potential opportunity for a breakthrough discovery in the field of art and culture.
Divination Method: The method of greatest perspective this week is Catoptromancy (divination by mirrors). This is a form of divination that uses mirrors to see future events and gain other insights. Some of the methods of catoptromancy are:
- Turning a mirror to the moon and looking for messages in the reflection.
- Using a mirror in a dark room and looking for visions of other people or events.
- Using a mirror in a natural light and focusing on one's own reflection.
- Using a psychomanteum, which is a special room with a mirror and a chair, and entering a trance state.
- Using a scrying mirror, which is a black or dark-colored mirror, and gazing into it.
Catoptromancy can be used this week to seek guidance from the divine, to explore one's subconscious, to communicate with spirits, or to find answers to personal questions. Catoptromancy is usually a solo craft, but it can also be done in groups or with a mentor. Some people may have a natural talent for catoptromancy, but others can develop the skill through practice and meditation.
Occult Practice: The occult practice of the week is Zoroastrianism. This is an ancient Iranian religion based on the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster, who lived around 3500 years ago. Zoroastrianism has a dualistic cosmology of good and evil, and a monotheistic belief in Ahura Mazda, the supreme creator and lord of wisdom. Zoroastrianism also has an eschatology that predicts the ultimate triumph of good over evil, and the resurrection of the dead.
Zoroastrianism can be practiced this week by following the ethical principles of Asha, which means truth, order, and justice. Zoroastrians also worship Ahura Mazda through fire, which is seen as a symbol of his presence and purity. Zoroastrians can perform rituals such as the Yasna, which involves reciting hymns and offering sacrifices to Ahura Mazda and his emanations, the Amesha Spentas. ⁷ Zoroastrians can also celebrate festivals such as Nowruz, which marks the new year and the spring equinox.
Zoroastrianism is usually a group craft, but it can also be done individually or with a teacher. Zoroastrianism is traditionally passed down from generation to generation, but it can also be adopted by converts who undergo initiation rites. Zoroastrianism requires faith and devotion, but it also encourages rationality and free will.
Color: The color that is waxing in power this week is black, which represents mystery, power, and protection. Black can help you access your subconscious and your hidden potential. Black can also help you shield yourself from negative energy and influences. You can use black in your clothing, accessories, decorations, or meditation to enhance these qualities.
The color that you should avoid this week is white, which represents purity, clarity, and innocence. White can hinder your mystery and power by making you too visible and vulnerable. White can also make you too naive and idealistic by blinding you to the reality and complexity of the world. You should avoid white in your surroundings or exposure to minimize these effects.
Food: The food that is waxing in power this week is pomegranate, which represents fertility, abundance, and rebirth. Pomegranate can help you attract positive energy and experiences into your life. Pomegranate can also help you regenerate your body and soul with its antioxidants and vitamins. You can use pomegranate in your diet, cosmetics, or rituals to enhance these benefits.
The food that you should avoid this week is milk, which represents nourishment, comfort, and purity. Milk can hinder your mystery and power by making you too dependent and complacent. Milk can also make you too sensitive and allergic by triggering your immune system or intolerance. You should avoid milk in your consumption or contact to minimize these drawbacks.
Number: The number that is waxing in power this week is 9, which represents completion, wisdom, and compassion. 9 can help you achieve your goals and ambitions in life. 9 can also help you connect with your higher self and your divine purpose. You can use 9 in your numerology, affirmations, or manifestations to enhance these outcomes.
The number that you should avoid this week is 4, which represents stability, order, and logic. 4 can hinder your mystery and power by making you too rigid and predictable. 4 can also make you too practical and boring by limiting your imagination and creativity. You should avoid 4 in your calculations or interactions to minimize these effects.
Company to Watch: The company to watch this week is Acuity Brands Inc (AYI). Acuity Brands is a lighting and building management solutions company that provides products, services, and solutions for various applications and markets.
