The Seven of Pentacles, after all, is all about reaping the benefits of your work. If you’ve been working on something for a long time, now is the moment to start seeing results. If you get this card, you probably already know what you’ve been working on – whether it’s a big physical project, a little personal project, or even a project to further clarify and define your own self – and you’ll start seeing actual results soon.
A Tree That Grows Slowly Also Grows Strong
This card may be telling you to take a moment to reflect and realise how far you’ve come. We don’t always realise how much work we’ve done because we’re continuously working – we don’t have time to look back and see what we’ve accomplished. The Seven of Pentacles is pleading with you to do so right now. Stop for a moment, take a glance around, and compare your current situation to where you were a year ago. Do you see the distinction?
Finally, this card encourages you to begin recognising your own efforts. Even when we look back with the intention of recognising how far we’ve come, our own negative thinking frequently blinds us to our progress. We think to ourselves, “That’s not very remarkable,” and “Others have gone farther.” Never compare your life to the lives of others; they will never have the same experiences as you, therefore comparing is pointless. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back and appreciate everything you’ve gone through to get to this point. Make a note of everything you’ve done in the last year; you may be surprised.
When you encounter this card in your readings, here are some questions to ask yourself. What do you regard your own personal garden to be – a project, a hobby, or some other activity? How far have you progressed in terms of your objectives and accomplishments? Can you take a moment to congratulate yourself? Is it possible for you to be proud of yourself for making it thus far? What rewards of your work have you recently received?
What Seven of Pentacles Means for You Today
The Seven of Pentacles has appeared today to encourage you to take your time, be meticulous and don’t rush. Whatever you are working on in your life has reached a stage where all you can do is wait for the time to be right. Harvesting too soon can reduce your yield or even ruin your entire project. If you have made it this far, you can be patient just a little bit longer. You are so close to the payoff that you can taste it. Hold out just a little bit longer and success will be yours.

Sparks fly at DeSantis-Newsom debate; pediatric mystery disease roundup and theories; the latest continent prepares for war; space weather news; furry pests are the latest plague in Australia; more.
Good morning, C&C, it’s Friday! In today’s action-packed roundup: DeSantis handily wins his non-presidential debate with Gavin Newsom, who is definitely not running for president, especially after that performance; mystery disease outbreak roundup as the media mysteriously downplays the epidemic and scientists are unaccountably baffled; new regional conflict brewing South American oil fields; space weather news as three major solar flares hit Earth over the next few days; pestilence strikes Australia, but not covid this time, this time with fur and sharp little teeth.
🗞💬 WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY 💬🗞
🔥 Last night saw the long-advertised debate between Republican presidential candidate and standout Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and some guy named Gavin (if that’s his real name) Newsom. Governor DeSantis came out strong and wasn’t taking any bull-S. Literally. At one point, he even confronted Newsom with a stinky poop map of San Fransisco:
Like a magician unveiling the missing Ace of Spades, Governor DeSantis whipped out a map from a website that reports sightings of human feces in San Francisco. Gross! But oddly, like a homeless drug addict who just found a half-full two-liter bottle of cherry Ripple, Newsom uncontrollably chortled in weird, inappropriate ways while DeSantis was pointing out “features” on the disgusting sewage map. Worse, even when he wasn’t chuckling maniacally, the California Governor was grinning wider and more unnervingly than an over-caffeinated chimpanzee indulging in alternating bouts of wild self-gratification and feces flinging.
The result was politically devastating for Governor Newsom, who is either blithely unaware or perhaps unexpectedly overjoyed that his political future was incinerated faster than a Los Angeles courthouse after a mostly-peaceful BLM protest. (Or BM protest, you decide.)
In this next clip, behold DeSantis flaying Gavin alive — using a dull flaying knife — over basic dinner-table economic issues. It was Newsom’s own fault; he set DeSantis up perfectly by advancing the buffoonish claim that California offers an inviting, lower tax environment for “working families and the working poor.” DeSantis melted him faster than a plastic toy soldier dissolving in the microwave:
Outback founder and conservative radio host Clay Travis (who leans DeSantis in the primary), originally thought DeSantis should never have taken the debate, but afterwards called it “a massacre.”
Claiming the 2023 “Understatement of the Year” award, National Review’s headline bluntly concluded that Gavin Newsom “Is Not Ready for Prime Time”:
Maybe most telling of all, when I surveyed corporate media headlines this morning, they all declared the debate to be an uninteresting and politically insignificant “tie,” allowing that, if perhaps DeSantis did win by a nose, it was only because conservative host Sean Hannity tipped the scales. For example, Politico ran its story headlined, “It was Hannity and DeSantis v. Newsom in messy Fox debate.”
Newsom must be regretting asking for this debate. His performance was so frightful it even begs the theory that he purposely took a dive to hurt President Trump. It’s a tempting notion but fails under analysis: Newsom is not a disposable foil. He has ambitions. He’s secretly running for the super-delegates’ presidential vote at the democrat convention. But this underwhelming half-effort may just have scotched the California governor’s nascent crypto-nomination.
Or whatever you want to call it.
It’s still early, but one wonders whether Newsom might have completely ended his political career last night. It seems almost certain to end his presidential ambition, at least. Leftists expected their Golden Boy and recall survivor Newsom to wipe the floor with Ron DeSantis. But — to liberals — if he can’t “even” beat DeSantis, how could he possibly survive against Trump?
🔥 Let’s talk mystery diseases! The “Chinese mystery pneumonia,” which is not a mystery, is “overwhelming” Chinese hospitals (meaning not overwhelming them), and “spreading” to other countries. The UK Express ran a story yesterday headlined, “Full list of countries affected by Chinese respiratory illness.”
But, as we’ll see, it is NOT a “Chinese respiratory illness.” The headline was explicitly belied by the article.
The article claimed that Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden and Singapore are all reporting spikes in childhood respiratory infections, with Denmark reaching “epidemic” rates. But here’s the important part, which helps explain the “mysterious” coverage of this mysterious outbreak. The outbreak is not of any novel virus like covid. It’s an outbreak of familiarchildhood infections:
A spokesperson from the National Health Commission explained on Sunday that the respiratory infections result from a combination of familiar viruses such as influenza, rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, and bacteria like mycoplasma pneumonia.
U.S. media is now cautiously reporting the same thing here in the states. The Messenger ran a story yesterday headlined, “Mysterious Pneumonia Outbreak Emerges in US — Days After Similar Illness Reported in China.” Mostly so far it’s only one county in Ohio. Check out the uncharacteristically reassuring sub-headline, “Officials in Warren county said that they do not believe there are new pathogens spreading.”
Media loves a good mystery disease story. The mystery is why they are down-playing this one.
Hmm. Since you can’t go wrong these days assuming that the Public Health Establishment (PHE) and the media are lying and trying to cover up some dreadful failure, let’s follow that line and see if we can figure out what might really be going on. This article provided two hints. Just like in China, and now in Europe, kids in Warren county, Ohio appear to be suffering from outbreaks of multiple known pathogens.
Unlike with covid, now the “mystery” isn’t with the bugs. They know which bugs are infecting kids. There’s nothing new about them. The mystery is, why are these particular bugs — which are commonplace and otherwise completely uninteresting, and against which kids should already be immune — why are they flaring up now?
No new pathogens have been detected in any of these outbreaks, so far quelling fears that these surges of cases are the early signs of a new pandemic. At least three known pathogens have been detected in the outbreak, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and the adenovirus. However, these bugs regularly circulate in the U.S., making it unclear why a sudden surge is appearing now.
The PHE’s ‘tell’ is when they claim to be baffled. What we learned from covid is that PHE acts most confident when it knows the least about what’s going on. When they admit to being baffled, it means the opposite: they know exactlywhat’s going on, but don’t want to admit it. Probably because it was their fault.
The Messenger article included another hint, the evolving explanatory narrative — possibly a limited hangout — that lockdowns are to blame:
Chinese officials … blame the country’s strict COVID prevention policies for the large uptick in cases, saying their population is now vulnerable to regular bugs after limited exposure in recent years.
In other words: immune suppression. Whatever the cause, immune suppression is not good for the PHE (or kids). If kids’ immune systems are suppressed because they didn’t get normal community exposure because of lockdowns and school closures, then the CDC’s nightmarish incompetence has heaved into sight once again. But there’s another possibility, the one keeping PHE up at night and making them invoke the “baffled” defense: what if it’s the jabs?
Jabbed kids could be immune suppressed by several possible mRNA mechanisms, including theories like autoimmunity, IgG4 class switching, molecular mimicry, immune imprinting, and so forth. Or, immune-suppressed adults could be breeding more virulent versions of common diseases, that are then being passed to kids, who are like sick canaries in the coal mine.
The most commonly cited culprit in the outbreak articles was Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a type of parasitic bacteria. Another hint! According to most of the recent articles, doctors are treating all these infections with antibiotics like azithromycin. But it only took me about five seconds to find this 2013 study:
Ivermectin is the synthetic form of naturally-occurring “avermectin.” So. Granted, the above study tested ivermectin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and did not speculate whether the drug is effective against the entire family of Mycobacteria. But I did find another study showing ivermectin effective against Mycobacterium ulcerans. And I found one concluding ivermectin combined with doxycycline was effective against both Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, in a 2022 study titled, “Combined therapy with ivermectin and doxycycline can effectively alleviate the cytokine storm of COVID-19 infection.”
A “spat” is one way to put it. Possibly thinking the world was getting too peaceful and too settled down, Venezuela’s communist government has suddenly and unexpectedly claimed to own two-thirds of the neighboring country of Guyana. The parts with the oil fields.
Apparently there was some kind of border dispute between the two countries two hundred years ago. So the Venezuelans are, apparently, saying enough is enough. Or some spicy Spanish words to that effect.
In other words, it looks like Guyana is about to have a big fat border problem. And since the U.S. is the world’s police force, whether you called for police or not, our military could soon face yet another continent of war.
What allegedly brought the dispute to a head is Guyana’s discovery of significant oil reserves off its coast in recent days. Two days from now, Venezuelans will vote on a referendum about “the rights” to the disputed lands. Guyana filed an emergency request with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to block the referendum. It rules sometime today.
But Venezuela said the referendum will go forward no matter what the ICJ does.
For a lot of complicated and historical reasons, the Venezuela-Guyana conflict is likely to quickly spark into a regional flame, which is why Reuters reported that Brazil is sending troops to its northern border — in support of Venezuela. But there may be a simpler root cause. The analysts at Forward Observer speculated yesterday that the Russians are really behind the conflict, pushing the Venezuelans to create a thirdregional world conflict for the U.S. to police.
After all, applying Ukraine logic, we have no choice but to protect the peaceful, democracy-loving people of Guyana from the lunatic communist dictator in Caracas, as a message to other wannabe dictators not to invade other countries. I mean, we can either fight the communists over there or eventually fight them over here. Am I doing this right?
It’s stacking up. The United States is currently “maintaining peace” in both Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and adding a South American conflict would really test our military’s ability to handle three simultaneous theaters of war. And that’s not even counting the murky military situation surrounding Taiwan.
The Russians would benefit because the pressure of a regional South American conflict, piled on the Middle East, would make the failing Ukraine Proxy War that much less inviting for U.S. adventurism.
Biden’s bench is getting spread pretty thin. Soon, Secretary of State Antony Blinken won’t know what time zone he is supposed to be waking up in. Unless a miracle happens, this particular conflict will be especially thorny for Joe Biden, because he has been courting Venezuela’s dictatorial government as his backup plan to keep gas prices low during this election year. He can’t ignore it.
Cannibals? The short version is the Sun has had a delicate tummy this week, and three major coronal mass ejections (solar flares) are streaming towards Earth. Strong geomagnetic storms are expected today and the next few days, potentially causing cell phone and internet disruptions, as well as auroras in places that never usually get them.
It’s just the latest strange development for 2023. The Sun isn’t even at its solar maximum yet, which is expected next year. In an election year. A very controversial, contested election year. Perfect timing!
According to the story, hordes of big, hairy rats are swarming north through the southernmost continent and towards its coasts, with government officials darkly warning of a pestilential “Rat Plague.” According to excited reports, Rattus villosissimus are overrunning the country’s coastal towns, chewing through electrical wires, devouring food reserves, attacking pets and, in at least one case, destroying a car.
That’s right. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, it’s car-wrecking rodent time.
The not-so-little furry critters are also, apparently, famished. “They’re causing havoc with everything,” one Karumba resident told 4BC radio. “They’re eating anything and everything they can get their hands on.”
I assume she meant, anything they can get their paws on. Hopefully the rats haven’t grown hands.That would just be too much.
Explosions in the long-haired rat population apparently happen every three to 17 years, when it’s particularly wet. The last one was in 2011, following two years of above-average rainfall. This one might be the record, though. It’s almost like there’s extra moisture in the air or something (cough, Hunga Tonga).
These ravenous rats are diggers, they can tunnel long distances underground, and are terrific swimmers. And “they’re quite destructive when they get into such large numbers,” rat researcher Emma Gray explained. Derek Lord, who owns a seaside car-rental business and recently lost a vehicle when rats stripped the wires out of the engine compartment, complained, “There’s rats everywhere. They’re just like, bold as hell.”
These Australian giant rat invasions usually end by themselves, sooner or later, for reasons that scientists don’t fully understand. But there’s no telling how long it will take. “We’re not getting any relief anytime soon,” University of Sydney environmental sciences professor Peter Banks explained with a shrug, adding “We may just have to wait it out.”
I know just how he feels! It’s exactly like waiting out the Biden Residency. Feel free to flesh out that analogy in the comments.
Have a fabulous Friday! And come on back tomorrow morning for a terrific and uplifting Weekend Edition.

Customers at one of the largest banks in the US say money is mysteriously exiting their account for no apparent reason.
People who bank with PNC are noticing unauthorized charges and should check their balances, reports the NBC-affiliated news station WPXI.
Tom Rubritz is one of the first people to realize something is wrong with his balance.
He noticed an unusual withdrawal hit his family’s account while his wife was out shopping.
“My wife was out shopping today, so I went and was just checking on the account and looking at purchases and everything and I noticed a miscellaneous withdrawal of $11.72 in my account…
It’s a little concerning because it’s my money and nobody else’s. I was a little worried, that’s how scammers work. They start small and then go big.”
The charges appear as “pending debit” with a random amount of money charged to the account.
A spokesperson at the bank says the unauthorized withdrawals are due to a “processing error” and its systems have not been compromised by hackers.
“Out teams have taken steps to resolve the issue, which will correct any incorrect transactions displayed in customer accounts.”
The bank says customers do not need to reach out about unwanted withdrawals, and says all erroneous charges will be automatically rolled back.
This is the second account balance issue at PNC in a matter of weeks.

Encounters with beings from other planets and dimensions can catalyze tremendous spiritual growth for humanity. As we expand our notions of what is possible, we open the doorways of perception and step into new realms of consciousness.
Interacting with advanced extraterrestrial intelligence provides a glimpse of our untapped potential as a species. Their wisdom and perspectives allow us to see ourselves and our world from a higher vantage point. We realize how much more there is to know and how far we have yet to evolve.
Extraterrestrial communications often impart spiritual truths and teachings to help raise human consciousness. Through their guidance, we can accelerate our spiritual development. We gain a deeper understanding of existence, moving beyond limiting beliefs and constraints.
First contact prepares us for the next stage of human evolution. We take the steps to transcend ego and fear, embracing unity consciousness. This empowers us to live up to our full divine nature as multidimensional beings.
Though the changes may be challenging, humanity ultimately transforms in positive ways through the spiritual growth catalyzed by cosmic allies. We discover more of who we are and why we are here during this profound era of human and planetary awakening!
Technological Advancement:
Many reports of abductions and UFO sightings indicate possession of technology far beyond our current human capabilities. From the ability to travel vast interstellar distances to propulsion systems that appear to defy physics as we know it, extraterrestrial technology could help humanity overcome challenges like pollution, global warming, disease, and poverty if shared openly.
Some channelers and contactees have received information downloads pertaining to free energy, quantum computing, nanotechnology, and biotechnology directly from ET beings.
However, there is also immense concern that secret agencies have already reverse-engineered downed UFOs to gain a military advantage. While the full scope of exotic technology remains elusive, humanity stands at a crossroads – we could uplift the planet or destroy ourselves if secrets are not disclosed.
Our cosmic allies likely wait to determine if we are spiritually mature enough to wield such power responsibly. Perhaps opening our minds to the reality of extraterrestrial presence is a prerequisite to receiving the knowledge that propels our civilization to a Galactic society. If so, those who ridicule may delay access to the very innovations that could transform life on Earth.
Cosmic Purpose:
Why do our cosmic allies seek to connect with humanity at this time in history? According to the galactic federation, extraterrestrials are here to assist human evolution and serve as spiritual and technological mentors.
Our extraterrestrial friends have an interest in seeing humanity progress into a more enlightened civilization. As we develop technologies like space travel, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, we need guidance to ensure ethics and wisdom guide our scientific growth. Our cosmic allies can provide this mentorship so humanity advances in a responsible and uplifting manner.
ETs also facilitate spiritual awakening and an understanding of our connection to the larger cosmos. Through psychic channeling and direct contact, allies share metaphysical insights about energy, consciousness, and humankind’s destiny. This lifts the veil of materialism and opens people to higher truths about their divine nature and unlimited potential. Contact prepares humanity for an intergalactic future.
Extraterrestrials act as multidimensional lightworkers, uplifting Earth’s vibration and consciousness. They transmit high-frequency energy and light to empower spiritual evolution. Our allies embed crystal cities of light and higher dimensional technology on Earth to accelerate planetary ascension. ETs bring messages of unity, peace, and enlightenment to help humanity move into the next phase of soul evolution.
Our extraterrestrial friends have much to share with us and guide us toward magnificent possibilities. Their presence is a sign of hope and faith in humanity’s future. Working alongside our space brothers and sisters, we can build a planetary civilization of harmony, wisdom, and light.
By joining forces with our space brothers and sisters, we have the opportunity to create a world where harmony, wisdom, and light prevail. Together, we can build a planetary civilization that embraces unity and coexistence, transcending boundaries and embracing diversity.
Let us open our hearts and minds to the wisdom and teachings of our extraterrestrial friends as we work hand in hand to shape a brighter future for all!
We love you dearly,
We are here with you,
We are your family of light,
We are the Galactic Federation.
A’HO
