The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.
- Significator runes: Raidho (5th rune, rider/horse, integration, soul journey, process over goal, partnership), Fortuna Major (greater fortune, success, ego, achievement, micromanaging, self-reinforcing, inner assistance)
- Cards: The Chariot (7), 8 of Cups, King of Cups
- Patterns: A run on Cups suggesting emotional balance is an issue.
- Overall numerology: 5+7+8=20; 2+0=2 (balance, love, healing, reciprocity, decisions)
SUMMATION
Beginning with the runes, Raidho and Fortuna Major, integration or collaboration with others can result in success today. Raidho suggests integration with others, with the collaborative process as a positive way to achieve a successful outcome. That involves balance, with the “run” on Cups (more than one card from the suit of Cups) reinforcing the idea of emotional balance with the overall two numerology for the reading. In other words, you may not be accustomed to collaboration and may not initially like the idea of doing so, but at some point you realize it’s a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and success.
The message of today’s cards reinforces the idea of striving for emotional balance within the collaborative experience. The Chariot, the 7th card from the Major Arcana, suggests victory and knowing when to assert yourself and when to drop resistance. Balance is reflected throughout the card: the balance between dark (receptive/passive) and light (projective/active) with the black and white sphinx, the two wheels of the chariot, the two castle structures in the background, the wings that surround the Sun on the front of the chariot, etc. The battle is over and everything comes to rest. Regarding the runes and collaboration with others, this involves knowing when to assert yourself and when to collaborate within the group experience.
The 8 of Cups suggests getting in order emotions that either no longer serve a purpose, or are those that have empowered you over your life that will inform your future endeavors. There may be challenges ahead, but you’re ready for whatever is next, in this case, an opportunity to unify or collaborate with others to manifest or create something successful.
Lastly, we come to the King of Cups. The King is compassionate and generous, wise and loving, but that said, he can also have trouble with commitment, be impulsive, and can be passive/aggressive and undermine a situation he wants to control. So, he’s likely the cautionary tale in the reading that warns against trying to undermine the collaboration to assert control.
So, if this resonates for you today, you may be in a situation that you don’t have sole control over which may be challenging for you. Instead of asserting yourself in a manner that tries to take ultimate control, drop resistance to the experience and use your inner authority to embrace the challenge with generosity of spirit and emotional balance/grounding.
Blessed Be
