The actual text
You need a feather. If you have three available, wonderful. But don’t go grabbing just any old feather off the street. It could be diseased and then your future cannot be foretold. If you don’t have any feathers, cut out or trace and cut out, the feathers from the printed PDF.
Your Future
To find your future for the next week, take your feathers in your off hand. Think about your plans for the coming week while you take a deep breath. Think about how you want to feel during and after your plans. Hold the feather above your head, then release your breath and the feather together. How has it fallen? If you have three feathers, drop them all and chose the one that landed closest to the foot of your dominant side.
Quill toward you: Your upcoming week is thoroughly planned (by you are someone else). It will do as it is told or it will at least do what it has always done. This is a good week to try out a new green tea.
Quill away from you: The week ahead needs your energy. Get excited. Do some jumping jacks. Wrangle the fun out of every last drop that you can. This is a good week to try a new black tea. But don’t overdo the caffeine.
Bottom up: This week, take some naps. Let your brain relax and reset. Your plans will still be there. But between them, make a cup of chamomile or some other relaxing tea and take a mid-day (or post-work) nap. Because you can.
Top up: Rise and shine! Wake up early to extract a little more from your day. With some mindfulness, maybe even a brief meditation, you will have the fortitude to smooth out any wrinkles that pop up. Find a new white tea to try.
Blown away completely: You, my good friend, have some fun times ahead of you. Expect the unexpected. Be ready for the unplanned. Rejoice in the stochastic nature of the universe.
Anything else: Your future is too complex to foretell. Keep your mind open and your expectations loose. Close your eyes, spin in the tea aisle, and point. You have found a new tea to try.
