Tarot's Wheel of Fortune Card - It's How You Play It



Those who come for Tarot readings get scared when the Wheel of Fortune card comes up. And with good reason. 

The Wheel of Fortune card signals change is coming, whether you like it or not. There will be plenty of that in 2024 as global volatility gallops on.

Most human beings don't absorb change easily, even if it is a good one. Evidence of that is the middle manager who gets promoted to the C-Suite and struggles with the fit. The message embedded in this card is that change is ongoing. The good, the bad, the mundane - all is transitory. 

The trick, though, is to align your mindset with accepting that constant state of flux. The reward is great: You can ignore your enemies, critics and even the intrusive (but well-meaning) advice-givers who will make your temporary misfortune their business. The media is especially adept at that. 

Even more importantly, if they do a gush about any of your good fortune, you can ignore that too. The highs can be as possibly dangerous as the lows. When the media was in-love with Disney CEO Bob Iger that might have blinded him to emerging problems. Now there is no ducking them and the media has not be kind to Iger.

The Wheel of Fortune card message is: Navigate what is the best you can. Another way of putting that is: It doesn't matter what happens, it's how you handle it. Insulate yourself from the noise around you. 

No surprise, given the Wheel of Fortune, things keep changing at law firm Paul, Weiss. The Wheel of Fortune was turning in its favor with a jump upward in rankings for volume of M&A business, lateral hires of top talent of Private Equity lawyers in London and sustained business when many other firms were slow. Media outlets were gush. 

Then, a darkening cloud moved over the Wheel. Another law firm - White & Castle - hired away the co-chair of M&A and Private Equity Taurie Zeitzer. 

That delivers a hit to the Paul, Weiss brand. Competitors are likely gleeful. Maybe worse it could result in key accounts following Zeitzer to the new firm. In law firms, those accounts are big-ticket items. 

Incidentally maybe Zeitzer hasn't absorbed this change, not quite yet. It seems strange that she hasn't (as of 1/6/24) brought up to date her LinkedIn Profile. Likewise, White & Case may be off its game on this one too. Although it posts a press release about her joining, her profile is not yet listed on its website. Zeitzer's profile is no longer on the Paul, Weiss website. In professional life, LinkedIn is everything. For law firms, their websites are important. 

Time will tell what media outlets beyond Law.com and Reuters do with this development. Meanwhile for Paul, Weiss job number-one is to transcend this setback with good news about other facets of the business. Then positive coverage will return. That's how the Wheel of Fortune operates, if well-managed. You don't want to be on a downward trajectory for long. 

It is a waste of psychic energy to fear the Wheel of Fortune. Change is inevitable. Then it's how you play that card.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
