Lucky Numbers for the Week of May 18, 2018

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of May 18-24, 2018:

2, 4, 11, 29, 30, 39, 54, 73

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions. Here's a guide to the best books available this month


Fortune Telling Tea Cups

Tea leaf reading cupI studied Tea Leaf Reading and it is no easy feat. For those who have often wanted to try their hand at tea leaf divination but couldn't remember all of the configurations, there are "trainer" cups with patterns designed to help you along. Anne Ewbank, writing for Atlas Obscura, gives us the low down --

 

Tasseography, or tea-leaf reading, has been practiced for centuries. Keen-eyed fortune tellers, it’s said, can derive a wealth of meaning from different shapes formed by tea leaves at the bottom of a cup. But what about the amateur fortune-teller, who can’t tell a skull from a set of stairs?

Enter the fortune-telling tea cup, which first emerged in the early 20th century. Thanks to its paint-by-numbers approach to tasseography, anybody could tell a fortune. Soon, a number of porcelain-makers in the U.S. and England were making their own versions. From the outside, some fortune-telling cups looked like elegant, normal cups. But on the inside, they contained arcane symbols. Wherever tea leaves landed indicated a fortune-telling clue.

The cups were part of a craze for all things occult that lasted well into the 20th century. With new discoveries and technological wonders discovered daily, the mystical didn’t seem that crazy. Having one’s fortune told became a party game, and even an industry. In the 1920s, fortune-telling cafes sprang up in urban centers, and many offered tea leaf readings. So it’s not a surprise that porcelain-makers got in on the trend. Fortune-telling cups were sold in small magazines and even books: One 1907 juggling tome sold a cup “marked with the signs of the Zodiac, all arranged in a certain mystic order.” Interested readers could also buy a crystal ball and “mesmeric discs.”

Fortune-telling cups came in various designs. According to The Mystic Tea Room, an online museum of fortune-telling cups, there are four typical patterns. Astrological signs, numbers, playing cards, or meaningful symbols, called “omens,” are usually printed on cup interiors. Other cups occasionally have designs on the exterior or even the saucers. One common design came with a couplet written along the edge: “Many Curious Things I See, When Telling Fortunes In Your Tea.” Cups were often sold individually, with instructions on their use for fortune-telling amateurs. These days, manufacturers are few and far between, and many older models are sold online as antiques.

One such pamphlet, published in 1924, laid out the rules for discerning a fortune from a “Cup of Knowledge,” which had a playing card design. After drinking the tea, the cup was to be turned three times, then flipped upside-down on a saucer. After most of the tea had trickled away, the leaves sticking to the cup could be read. Leaves closer to the rim indicated that predicted events would happen soon, while leaves atop each card could denote anything from “a dance” (the nine of clubs ) to “happiness and prosperity” (a Joker, oddly). But particular sets of cards together had their own meanings too. Readers were cautioned to watch out for the “evil intentions” denoted by two Jacks.

 

What is interesting to me is the close relationship between tea leaf reading and tarot. Maybe I need to get one of these cups....

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Aries may be all mouth this week as their need for personal expression reaches a high point. You charm just about anyone now - lover, friend and foe. So as long as you’re scoring points, why not make a name for yourself in certain circles. It’s amazing what a few choice words can do in the right text or in a willing ear. A few XXXs or breathing heavily may help. too.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
There is something very profitable going on for you now. Taureans buy and sell with the best of them when the bulls and bears seem to heed your every command. There is a lot of green in your future. But there is a lesson to be learned from this as well - Generosity is the key to happiness. Spread the cheer ... and a bit of hard cash.

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Geminis have charisma to spare. So move and groove and get your face out in front. However, you may find that your expansive influence also means that you risk expanding your physical attributes as well as your social standing. You can haul it to the gym and muscle it up or advertise that there is just more of you to love.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
If there’s something holding you back from happiness, this is the time to bring it out into the open, really examine it and find a way to toss it on your psychic garbage heap. What a refreshing blast of air! Cancers learn a few lessons about truth, honesty and the disadvantages of certain secrets. Sometimes taking a risk can change the entire tenor of your world. Give me that old fashioned rock and roll.

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Your social scene heats up and brings old and new friends out of the woodwork. Celebrate your popularity with hundreds of your admirers at your favorite hot spot. Make good use of your personal charm by cementing certain relationships that can withstand future turbulence and build a solid future. But also leave a little wiggle room for a jelly roll.

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos can affix their shark fins and navigate the corporate waters with the best of them this week. Just when you were ready to jump off the fast track, you begin to see a little payoff for all your hard work. Since your career will go a little smoother, why not enter the fast track with a certain lover. Who knows where it can all lead?

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Do you suddenly hanker to see the world? Pack your bags Libra. You can expect global adventures with exotic strangers. For those creative souls who allow their minds to wander as well, use this time to expand your knowledge with classes, lectures and discussion groups. Will you be lucky enough to stay after school for a private lesson?

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Count your blessings, Scorpio, as your personal sexiness reaches a high point. You have your pick of possible love connections so focus on who and what you want and go after them. Can it be possible to have too much of a good thing? Bite your tongue! Whatever your appetite demands, it can be satisfied. Avoid undercooked pork, though.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Partnerships and the subtle art of balance and sharing become more important to you now. Sagittarians recognize that they cannot continue to go through life alone and either make it their business to bolster and strengthen current relationships or seek a new suitable soulmate. You can strike a match with a certain friend. Do I smell fire or is it all just smoke?

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
While it may not sound especially exciting, Capricorns can make substantial headway in any job, detailed task or health regime now. You accomplish the impossible with relatively little effort and experience lasting impact for any genuine push. Others will take notice of you. Show them what you’ve got. Make your mark indelible, not water soluble.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Will you be brought to the brink of excess in any fun or creative enterprise? Tap your artistic muse or plan a plethora of parties. Sometimes it’s refreshing to go off on a tangent and dive into the deep end. But you may also realize of the limits of your consumption. Remember, your 20th beer generally has no extra zip and is primarily water, Aquarius. Oops!

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Pisces can connect with family and build bridges to greater understanding this week. It is possible that you can bring two warring sides to the peace table, but don’t compromise your most basic needs to reach an agreement. At best, this will be a time of healing and reconciliation. At worst, agree to disagree and exchange monthly texts.
