And now for something completely different.

Favomancy! Bean divination. 🙂

I learned this particular method from Dmitry Korolev: Divination by Beans (Favomancy)

You start by taking 41 dried beans (or large beads, small stones, etc.) and swishing them around on the table with both hands, to shuffle your intention/question into them. Then you split the beans into three piles by pulling them apart between your hands, and reduce each pile by counting, repeating the process three times to fill the grid. I’ll leave you to watch Dmitry’s video for the details, if you’re interested.

Let's begin with some bean shuffling ASMR. 😁  
This will be a general overview for *someone* over the coming week or so.

Generally speaking, odd numbers of beans are positive, even are negative.

First, we look at the main squares – Head, Hand, Heart and Foot -

Your Head space is generally good; maybe not 3-bean good, but not bad.

The Hand represents your prosperity, and works a little differently: more beans, more money; fewer beans, less money. Sorry, not a good week financially.

Two beans in the Heart square indicates some sadness is to be expected.

The Foot deals with things like travel and news, and here it’s positive – maybe not travel at the moment 🙁, so probably good news.

On to the rest of the squares –

Taking Income, Expenses and Hand all into account (unintentional pun) it looks like there won’t be any major changes to your cash flow (income and expenses both positive). It’s more likely you’ll be cautious about your spending - keeping only one bean in your hand!

Affairs of the heart is a 3-beaner, so that’s good. This square relates to the Heart + Expenses: positive - what sadness you may experience this week won’t be due to loss.

Returns: negative – something unsettling may reappear in your life this week, but with Departures: positive and the movement of the Foot, it won’t stick around long. If you’re prone to bouts of depression (the “sad” heart), it will pass quickly.

A 3-bean overview tells us that the week will turn out well but will require effort on your part to ensure that it does. So, keep a tight grip on your spending, get out for a walk if you can (Departures + Foot), or at least sit outside, and try to keep your spirits up.
