Signs and Portents and Omens, Oh My!

We have been swamped with signs over the last month or so, that some major change is about to happen.  Not necessarily bad, but definitely big. Athena has been reading the Tarot, and the same cards keep coming up over and over: The Tower, The Hanged Man, The Ace of Cups, The High Priestess, The Six of Swords, The Ten of Cups, and several others.  We saw a pair of hawks sitting side by side facing opposite directions, and later another pair of hawks sitting together facing the same way, and  nearby an owl on a fence during the day.  Athena also saw a shooting star.  There was a huge ring around the moon on Winter Solstice.  Enough already, I get the idea!

The only things I can get from this is that something big is coming (or is already in progress), which will turn our world upside down.  We may have some painful trials to get through, which will reveal to us some hidden knowledge, but in the end we will have peace and happiness in our home.  Some of this I suspect revolves around Athena and her job search; last year was my season for change and turmoil, this may be hers.  I hope I have learned enough to be a strong support and aid for her, as she moves towards her heart's desire.

There are some signs already that the settled order of nature is being inverted, appropriate I guess for the season of misrule.  A brother-in-law, a very hard worker who has never liked his jobs, has found a job that he enjoys.  An estranged and difficult relative is offering financial assistance.  Cats and dogs living together, total chaos!
