---

Beginning with today’s runes, Raidho describes integration between the soul and ego as well as integration with others. Conjunctio reinforces the idea with its own interpretation of union and joining. So it appears that something collaborative is coming today.

Moving on to the Knight of Cups, we see a knight sitting stop his grey horse holding a chalice as if in offering. A creek winds through the area in front of him while clips rise up on the opposite side. Court cards can represent the individual on the card or the qualities therein. It can also represent the querent or the qualities the querent might consider expressing. In the case of today’s rune, it may be that the Knight of Cups is here to offer support and assistance of some kind.

Next, the Page of Swords stands on top of ground that gives the appearance of movement, so it could indicate shifting perceptions. Clouds appear in the sky with birds that seem to be flying in a lasso shape, almost pulling you along with the Page as he appears to lean into the future while looking back at the past, taking what he’s learned so that he can share that information with others. Swords reflects the Air element and our intellect, communication, justice, reason, balance, truth, deception, and decisions. So, the Page may be the extension of the Knight and describing the insight he has to share with others.

Together with today’s runes, the Knight of Cups may represent either the querent (person needing the reading) or the individual a group of people need advice and support from. But reading this as the Knight representing the querent, it may be that you are being called upon by others to offer support and advice and, along with the Page of Swords, you’re willing to offer both support and insight gained from past experiences.

Lastly, the 3 of Wands shows a merchant standing on the ground just beyond two staffs affixed to the ground that represent a doorway into new experiences. Like in the 2 of Wands, he holds his own staff in his hand as he looks out over a body of water with boats on them, but instead of the decision he needs to make in the 2, now that the decision is made, he’s essentially waiting for his ship to come in, so to speak. In other words, he’s waiting for the fruits of his decision to manifest. A Fire element suit, Wands suggests opportunities so this could have something to do with a new direction that yields results.

Regarding the overall numerology of eight, it could be that it’s describing the leadership you have to offer others.

SUMMATION

It appears that you could be asked to provide support and advice to a group today. This may be a new experience for you, but clearly others appreciate you experience and leadership and want some help from you. Given both Raidho and Conjunctio’s influence, collaboration or integration with others is favored, this is something you might consider doing. And with the 3 of Wands at the end of the spread, the situation is likely to bring success, either to the group you’re advising or possibly for you as well.
