I'm sorry you've been having trouble pinning things down.

Do you mind my asking what divination method you have been using? I ask because my wife has found Tarot to have become very flaky in the last year or so, while I've been having no issues whatsoever with Geomancy, I Ching, or various traditional Greek divination methods. For whatever it's worth, I've noticed a lot of disruptive energy in the air for the last four months or so that has made a lot of spiritual work, beyond study and prayer, difficult.
