SUMMATION
Jera and Rubeus begin today’s reading with the idea of unfolding awareness surrounding someone manipulating or otherwise deceiving you. Jera expresses unfolding awareness that is informed by Higher self. It causes you to pay attention to that inner voice that alerts you to trouble or concerns that something or someone isn’t quite right. Rubeus describes that concern or trouble that is expressed as a misuse of force, manipulation, or deception. The overall numerology of seven for the reading reinforces Jera’s counsel by telling you to observe and let all the factors settle out before making a decision about what’s actually going on.
Looking at the cards, The Fool describes undeveloped potential and trusting the process. It describes a leap of faith, new ideas, and innocence. However, with Rubeus in the physical reality or ego (so below) position of the runes, it may be suggesting that your trust in a particular individual or situation has been misplaced and that he or she is manipulating the truth and, in turn, your trust.
The manipulation suggested by Rubeus may be expressed by the 7 of Cups where you see an individual in silhouette looking at seven cups embedded in dark clouds. Although the 7 of Cups can indicate one’s imagination run wild or thinking about possibilities that are unrealistic, the dark figure may represent the individual in your life who is deceiving you in some way, who may be making promises that will never be kept just to gain your favor.
Lastly, The Lovers card may be suggesting a new balanced perspective is necessary to understand the truth. Perhaps more discernment is necessary, and following your intuition (Higher awareness) may cause you to investigate the manipulator’s claims instead of simply taking what that person says at face value.
To sum up the reading, you may be realizing that your trust in someone has been misplaced and you need to investigate the person more fully before continuing to trust him or her. The emphasis on the Major Arcana cards signals higher awareness is the source of that unfolding realization and a rebalancing of perspective or additional discernment is necessary to protect yourself from a misuse of force by that individual.
