As Above, So Below ~ 2024 Forecast, 4 January 2024
The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.
- Significator runes: Eihwaz (13th rune, Air/Fire, connection between opposites, as above so below, link between realms, trance work, protection); Fortuna Major (greater fortune, success, ego, achievement, micromanaging, inner assistance)
- Cards: The Hermit (9), Queen of Wands, 4 of Pentacles
- Patterns: One from each grouping, Minor Arcana, Court (Minor Arcana), and Major Arcana, numerology for the cards (13) is the same as the numerology for Eihwaz
- Overall numerology: 13+9+4=26; 2+6=8 (strength, material recognition/approval, greater harmony)
Eihwaz and Fortuna Major comprise today’s significator runes. Eihwaz, representing the as above or higher awareness focus of the reading suggests drawing higher awareness into your understanding and decisions today, while Fortuna Major, as the below or ego focus of the reading brings in the idea of greater fortune. Together, the runes suggest that it’s your soul’s awareness that provides your greatest fortune.
Looking first at The Hermit, we see a cloaked older man standing atop a snowy mountain. He’s holding a staff in one hand as he exercises his will to see his world from a higher perspective. He holds a lantern lighted by a Merkaba in his right hand with the Merkaba (soul vehicle) bringing light to his perceptions. The 9th card from the Major Arcana, The Hermit is a soul-archetype card and its numerology of nine suggests something may have come to an end and you need a new perspective about it, and in the case of its soul-archetype quality, The Hermit suggests that the perspective you need reflects higher awareness.
Next, the Queen of Wands sits on her throne adorned by lions, holding a staff in one hand and a sunflower in the other. She’s a dynamic older woman in authority who either represents those qualities in you or a trusted advisor you may turn to for advice. Together with The Hermit, you’ve gained some perspective on something going on in your life and you’re able to either express that perspective in the decisions you need to make, or it’s suggesting that you might talk to someone with more experience.
Lastly, a King sits in a chair with his kingdom behind him holding fast to his money. Although this card can indicate miserliness, in this case, I believe the 4 of Pentacles is suggesting that you take a conservative approach with your money or resources. So, after getting a better perspective that isn’t influenced by ego, and you’ve talked to a trusted advisor, you now realize that you need to take a conservative approach and make a decision that holds on to your resources or funds.
SUMMATION
You may be looking at your finances and it appears that you need a perspective that reflects higher awareness instead of one that is ego-based. Talk to a trusted advisor if necessary so that you have a more complete picture of your options. But in the end, it seems that a more conservative approach is necessary for the best outcome.
Blessings!
