As Above, So Below for Thursday, 25 January 2024
The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.
- Significator runes: Algiz (15th rune, Air/Fire/Water, elk, protection, bridge between physical and astral realms, higher consciousness, divinity); Albus (sage, higher wisdom, spiritual guidance)
- Cards: The Fool (0), The High Priestess (2), Knight of Pentacles
- Patterns: run on Major Arcana cards both of which align well with Algiz and Albus
- Overall numerology: 15+2=17; 1+7=8 (strength, leadership, material recognition/approval).
Algiz and Albus are the significator runes for today’s reading. Algiz, the 15th rune from the Elder Futhark, involves drawing higher awareness into one’s physical reality, while Albus receives, embraces, and expresses that higher awareness in the. individual’s experiences and interactions with others.
Today’s cards include The Fool, The High Priestess, and the Knight of Pentacles. The overall numerology for the reading is eight suggesting inner strength, and considering today’s runes and the cards, it’s likely suggesting inner strength drawn from spiritual awareness. The Fool and High Priestess are both from the Major Arcana that represent soul archetypes,
Beginning with The Fool, we see an androgynous figure standing on a precipice of new experiences as he’s ready to take the leap of faith, in perfect love and perfect trust, into physical reality. The Fool suggests undeveloped potential, birth, new ideas, trusting the process, innocence, and having no expectations and it’s suggestion in the reading involves viewing your experiences during this time without judgment or expectations.
Next, The High Priestess sits on a stone seat between two pillars that represent dark and light. A tapestry with pomegranates arranged in the shape of the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah. A representation of Maiden, Mother, and Crone, is evident with her crown, and she holds a Torah, or the Word of God, on her lap. The High Priestess represents the subconscious realm (whereas the Magician creates the Fool’s physical reality. So, after The Fool takes the leap into physical reality, The High Priestess defines the new individual’s alignment with Spirit and the energetic balance the individual will express. And because the card’s two numerology also aligns well with the seven numerology for today (25), this reinforces the blending of inner strength and balance.
Lastly, after expressing higher awareness into your experiences, how does that manifest? Well, it manifests with the Knight of Pentacles who sits atop his horse offering his services to others. The Knight is trustworthy, practical, dependable, and reliable. And perhaps he represents how you can help someone else in need today.
SUMMATION
As you go about your life over the next few days, the reading suggests that you express higher awareness in all that you do instead of allowing ego to define everything. Observe before responding, let go of any preconceptions you might have, and then respond in a manner that reflects who you are as a soul, even if it only manifests as a loving presence in someone’s life.
