Illustration for January 1 from the Menologion for Basil II.
One of the more illuminating peculiarities of my profession is that one gets to see and read for people from all walks of life. Whether the client is a university student or a house-wife (or husband) or an investment banker or a pensioner the questions, when stripped of the peculiarities of the individuals’ lives, are often the same.
We all want to know if or when things will get “better”.
2013 has been one that, for many, has brought its challenges; challenges that have not always been easily, or individually, surmountable (job markets, health, to the floods). To this all we can do is hope for better. In fact, my clients coming for year-ahead readings have asked, simply, ‘Is it going to get better?’
I hope it does, for each and every one of you.
As such, I send to you my wishes:
That your home and family enjoy peaceful and happy times throughout the coming year;
That you find love and support in those you share your life with now and in the future;
That financially and professionally you enjoy prosperity;
And that in 2014 you are happy, healthy and lucky in your tomorrows.
In Four Quartets the poet T.S. Eliot writes:
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
I hope therefore that 2014 is found to be better voice. Thank you for all your support, kind wishes and patronage in 2013. I really am grateful to each one of you – -
Andy Boroveshengra.
